Architect here.
re proliferation of crap buildings; There’s a lot of factors involved, and while i am hesitant to put the blame squarely on the shoulders of late stage capitalism as Burneko does, it sure does have a lot of responsibility.

Most everything that is involved in building a building is really expensive, but…

To steal and paraphrase an oft-used line from a blog about home repair and historical restoration I like to read, it’s not good because it’s old, but it’s as old as it is, because it’s good.

I feel bad about choosing the sixers. I’m switching to the blazers.

This is a great anecdote. For all of his many, many faults, he does seem like a pretty decent guy in the golfing community.

I’m delighted for him. My former BiL caddied for him once, and said he was one of the nicest players he’d met – and he’s caddied on the European and US tours!

I don’t know. Looked like they were phoning it in to me.

He won’t be back this year. That injury hurts like hell and will prevent him from running for quite awhile. It is very difficult to do anything with this injury, including chill in your favorite chair.

I still can’t believe this asshole has an incredibly lucrative career because turned the phrase “practice makes perfect” into a 10,000-word book.

Yeah, and you also draft Aslan, because Narnians are basically Nigerians. Like, there are closets in Lagos that go to Narnia, and it’s got a lot of the same letters.

But no, Minny didn’t really hurt their core though. They still have Rose.

Buddy you can do whatever you want. Tee it up, knock it down. You do you.

I have fully lost two people in my life to Crossfit. I don’t think there’s inherently anything wrong with it - quite the contrary, I like people trying to be healthy and strong and have plenty of other friends who do it! - but the people I’ve lost, the Crossfit turned them into mega aggro psychopaths.
