Recent elections have already shown that slightly less than half of the population don’t care about alleged sexual assaults (or racism or collusion or emolument). Kavanaugh just has to say a few lines about supporting fetuses and guns and the GOP will fall in line.

Once during a business dinner at a fancy restaurant, while the waiter was clearing the table after the meal, he dropped a steak knife that stabbed me in the stomach. Drew blood, but nothing serious. The waiter apologized, I handed him back the knife. End of story. Just saying that it could be worse than some wine on…

Kind of unfair to blame all four instances on Sanchez. The first one was a fast ball that missed Sanchez’s target by several feet; he set up outside, the pitche went inside. The fourth one bounced on the plate. Even a gold glover would have difficulty with those two pitches. The official scorer recorded two passed…

Someone better warn him about the bible. “Logical fallacies” like belief and sacrifice is a pretty big part of its message.

I’ll give it 2 years before the Bears demand Mack take a paycut and restructure the contract.

It looked bad; let’s hope there’s no structural damage.

According to Lord Byron, a bear. But not many of us can be that cool.

Picked up a hot iron by the iron instead of the handle. I was probably 5 or 6 at the time. It wasn’t ignorance or inattention; it was a conscious decision by my brain on how I should pick it up. For consistency’s sake, I did the exact same thing a second time about a year later.

I use a noctua cooler as well, and have been pretty happy with it. It’s noticeably quieter than the cooler master I had before. In your previous article I also commented about having success with undervolting the CPU for additional temperature improvement, with the additional note that I was able to overclock (from…

Urena could’ve accomplished the same thing by throwing four straight pitches in the dirt. Even four wild pitches could’ve prevented a homerun. Instead, he decides to hit the batter with nary a regard to the risk to the batter. MLB really need to change how it suspends pitchers because they do not play every day.…

Thanks for clearing it up. But now I’m intrigued because it seems like the proper pronunciation of “SNES” should be “sneeze”.

I feel like I’m missing the joke. “N.E.S.” is an acronym. Like many short acronyms, I can refer to it by spelling it. So when I say each individual letter, I’m not “pronouncing” it. It’s two different things.

I’m not an expert on water coolers or radiators, but it may makes sense to have the radiator fans blow inward. Case in point, don’t car radiator fans suck air in from the outside? Radiators need cooler air to work, and the room temperature ought to be lower than the case temperature, so it’s reasonable that drawing…

Since heat rises I usually plan the case airflow to push the air up and out the back. I typically try to keep my CPU (3770K with noctua air cooler) under 60C under load. I’ve had pretty good result with undervolting the cpu using a delta of -0.1v. When it’s really hot during the summer, I sometimes lower that even…

Just because circumstances mean you’re expected to act a certain way doesn’t mean you have to follow the conventions blindly. Listening to conscience and following morals (aka being civil) may lead to something beautiful, even if only for a moment: Christmas Truce of 1914

Here’s another bad take. How did this man get so many balls? He gave one to the kid earlier, he gave the one in the clip to another, and a tweet says he gave two more away? Even if he was giving them to kids later, he may want to stop getting to the ball first.

I’m also find the argument against dollar-cost average from the linked article missing the mark. Dollar-cost average is for individual investments, not whole portfolios. (People don’t average the cost of portfolio) So his argument using portfolio allocation is irrelevant. The risk is inherently higher with individual…

I’ll be a contrarian here. First, I don’t find a strategy that yields an improvement over another strategy two out of three times convincing. It’s worth more research, but it’s not enough for any conclusion. Second, the “average overperformance” doesn’t mean much without actual results. Even a volatile boom-or-bust…

I have nothing to say about The Sims 3. I just wanted to post this image of the social bunny.

I have a question: where did you all learn the lyric? I’m thinking back really hard but I’m pretty sure I was never taught “God Bless America”. Not in chorus and not elsewhere at school. It’s just something I picked up along the way hearing it performed. The same goes for the “Star-Spangled Banner” and even the Pledge…
