I don’t think Rusty is a clone like Hank and Dean, replacing his earlier dead selves. I think he is a crappy clone of Jonas Sr himself, but a very flawed clone (bald, skinny, with a nasty teratoma twin that was super sickly). Furthermore, maybe the original point of Rusty wasn’t to have a kid, but to extend his own

Executive career wasn’t so short. sorry.

Larry Bird did pretty well, but it is telling that he didn’t do it for the Celtics (though he was an Indiana local legend), and that his coaching and executive careers were so short.

But the thing is, all that money doesn’t really go to the Raiders, but Davis acts like it does. The truth is getting Las Vegas taxpayers to pony up for a $1.9B stadium doesn’t help him much more than a $1B stadium and will probably make him less money than a $1B stadium in Oakland. But he got it in his head that the

All languages have to be prescriptivist. Not in an absolute sense but in general. Meaning, spelling, pronunciation and grammar are inherently prescriptive. I won’t fight to the death on fewer/less in casual speech, (I say that isn’t a prescriptive vs descriptive argument at all) but descriptivists who say nuke-ya-ler

It means someone in the transition between Gen X to Millenial.(young gen xers old millenials. Generally meaning someone born in the early 1980's. Like all generational terms the exact time period can be altered to make your point. (I recently saw someone cite some ‘official’ source defining Millenials as birth years

You know when you want to go play with your friends, and your mom says you can’t go unless you take your awkward non-athletic cousin with you so you have him play full-time goalie so neither team is disadvantaged? Yeah, that’s what this keeper looks like here turning in a circle then diving after the ball has crossed

This the bullshit idea of balance that we have to deal with. The left is represented by random actors with generally liberal beliefs balanced by  actual Republican operatives with connections to the actual Republican party. Then political reporters ask why liberals don’t present a unified message like conservatives do.

Svetlana Khorkina is going to cite this comment as proof that American women are massive dopers that the USADA covers for, and that Putin and the Russian authorities have never done anything wrong.

I noticed when I booked a cross-country flight this month (about 10 days before travel) that when I searched through Kayak and Orbitz that the best flight prices for United and American were all Basic Economy (where you don’t get to use the overhead bin and can only bring a personal bag for under the seat). But I went

They could fix this problem. Instead of coloring the whole area to fill the screen with crappy graphics, they could outline the area instead. But since you don’t need to mark the white sidelines, take that out. And to distinguish between the line of scrimmage and the first down line, you can make those different

It’s just another way of doing the same thing as the First Down/Line of scrimmage lines. Instead of colored lines there is now a transition from one shade of green to another. Maybe it looks better, maybe it doesn’t. But it does not give any more information. Al Michaels’ explanation in that clip was nonsense. I hate

That song’s been in my head the last few decades.

I started playing around this time, and the Black Lotus was worth well over $100, maybe over $200 and the moxes were a bit under $100 (going by memory). People talked about how valuable the cards were all the time. Everyone knew these were worth money, so I’m surprised they did the broken back shuffle instead of a

I just think you have missed buy a mile what this series was attempting to do.” 

That before/after photo looks like the results of a classic instagram workout. Half an hour on weights; half an hour on oil, mist and lighting.

The fact is, if they played this game, it was a sure loss. The Aces were smart to realize that and just not play the game. That allowed them to avoid injuries and better recover to win their future games.

Pretty enlightened compared to our national gun control laws of “no weapons unless you’re white.” Kadarius “Lucky to be Alive” Toney should ask Philando Castile about gun rights— thanks NRA.

This judge is a problem. He is acting in a prejudicial manner. Listen to what he said about the prosecution suggesting they might not call a major witness:

Russian Oligarchs are a special instance. Putin (and earlier Russian rulers) distributed national assets to individuals loyal to them to use that money and power on his behalf and on behalf of the government. They are not just Russian Billionaires. They are proxies and assets for Government rulers, especially Putin. Mo
