Why is “Baby” a Christmas song in the first place? It’s just cold. It could be any point between November and May.

“I know, right!?!?!”

I don’t know, man. The rhythm and backing bass is almost exact, as is the singing style. Any one of those things and it’s a nothingburger, but all together it’s pretty significant.

Also, I’m not sure why you seem to think that some lack of global map standards doesn’t mean that there wasn’t a general consensus on the naming.

Lamest dead letter ever.

...as they were the only ones that called it that.

The Korean view, which is pretty convincing, is that the body of water wasn’t widely called “Sea of Japan” until Japan invaded Korea (essentially making the Sea almost exclusively Japanese territory).

The name “Sea of Japan” wasn’t widely used until Japan controlled the Korean Peninsula in the early 20th Century. Prior to that, it went by many names, as there was no international standard at the time. It was often referred to as the East Sea or the Korean Sea.

Nintendo’s servers still play a role in setting up match-ups and rules and whatnots.

Wait, a Dave Dombrowski-managed team just spent ungodly amounts of money to win a World Series,and is now immediately going to shed payroll? WELL I NEVER!

The biggest bribers ERRR.....advertisers for the major network news programs are Ford, General Motors, Toyota, and Honda.

I look forward to Gary Bettman moving the Detroit Red Wings to the European division and forcing a rivalry with the Flying Finns.

“What’s the big deal about forgery? IT’S ABOUT PROTECTING THE ART!”

I wonder how much of this is a brand new game overwhelming servers. I never seem to have issues like this with Splatoon or Mario Kart.

Seriously, the plot of RP1 would’ve been even better if Halliday and Oasis were the true villains.

I guess “How It Ends” was so bad of a movie that it didn’t even warrant being mentioned on a list of worst movies of the year. Fitting.

The baseball writers get all the credit, but the Veterans Committee does the hard work of picking out HOF players that flew under the radar - guys like Jack Morris and Alan Trammell - guys who if they played in NY or Boston would have probably been 1st ballot inductees.

Harbaugh’s going to Green Bay, and Urb’s driving up US-23 to Ann Arbor.
