Or in the spring, a giant crazy FA cup style single elimination tournament.

I think that depends on your definition of “working well”. The long careers of superstar players is one of the things that destroys parity in the top soccer leagues, having a constant 4 year turnover would make such dynasties much more difficult.

I’m still dreaming of the day that the NCAA dies, the choose-your-own-adventure conferences and scheduling go with it, and the whole mess is replaced by a European style Promotion/Relegation system that ranks the teams with no bullshit polls, and makes every game relevant. Best part is eliminating the idiotic “best…

Anyone who claims to need blankets or heating pads in an air conditioned office should be see a doctor. If you’re hands are “turning blue” in a 72 degree (22 C) office, call 911, you might have a serious circulatory issue.

Or you could be more humane and just waterboard them.

Anything with aspartame in it gives me an instant migraine after more than a few sips. I’ve learned to stop drinking as soon as I notice the sickly sweet “fruit loops” aftertaste, but every once in a while they mask it well and I’m in agony for the rest of the day.

Easy:

How about a webcam mic? I have a Logitech C920 on top of my monitor, will that listen when it’s not recording video?

Yes Andrew, the 4th largest market in the US has a fucking skyline.

Philly definitely has a European vibe. Biggest difference is that we’re mostly on a grid, with only a few diagonal or curved roads anywhere near the core of the city. We also never had a major street widening campaign like most other North American cities did.

What land? If I look at the area, it looks like Marlins Park is in a relatively developed residential area

I wonder how this will work for Dual SIM phones. I just bought one to simplify having both a work and personal number, plus when I travel internationally I frequently buy a local sim*. If the sim doesn’t physically exist, you could theoretically add multiple sims.

I just bought an Xperia Z3 Dual Sim. So far I’m liking it, but too early to say for sure. It’s one of the only LTE dual sim phones out there, along with the S5, S6, and the Lumia 640. Honestly, as much as I despise their limitations and the awful, awful, keyboard, I probably would have bought an iphone 6 if it had…

At least you could finish it. I read it when it was originally published as a serial in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Finishing a chapter meant waiting for the next paper.

Kate McKinnon as an homage to cartoon Egon is the only thing that gives me any hope. So far there’s been zero indication that this is anything more than a shallow cash-grab that may as well be titled Melissa McCarthy plays a fat slob part 47.

4 dinner settings minimum, but if you have a table that seats 6 (or more), make sure you can set it.

Primarily, yes. And hopefully driverless cars would be required to maintain speed limits that are safe for everyone, regardless of how frustrated “slow” driving would make some people. A lot of street designs are simply unsafe, and many speed limits are too high, both for pedestrian safety and commercial success.…

Demand for simultaneous travel is an overrated factor in transportation planning. Less than half of car/transit trips are work commute. People see that rush hour is busy, and assume that’s the whole demand, but really there’s a fairly constant level of demand all day.

It was probably a CityLab article. Empty miles will add up a lot faster than you realise.

trucking is already a form of trip sharing.
