Basically, yes.

except when he got progressively goofier in those stupid Fockers sequels

Why is it that the bigger the budget, the worse Ryan Reynolds’ movies turn out? I thought he did well in Buried and The Voices, and I didn’t hate The Change-Up, but put him in a movie designed to be a tentpole release and watch that thing bomb hard.

I know, it’s crazy how long these guys can run so fast. I wonder what distance the most even match between a Gatlin/Bolt-level sprinter and an elite marathoner would be. 800m? 1200? We already know that the marathoners can lay down some respectable mile times, but when does the sprinters’ pure speed start to bleed off?

You have a “bedroom” towel? Where do you put it when not in use? Did you put a towel rack by/in your closet? Why isn’t your bathroom towel up to the task of completely drying you off?

Shit, I thought that was a photoshop.

Considering there’s always a steady supply of rookies joining that percentage of the male population that (for whatever reason) don’t have a wide range of experience, I think it’s safe to assume that a non-trivial number of men are still bad at this.

Well, they do have the Bears before Thanksgiving. That’s a pretty soft week the way things look right now. Even with Brock Osweiler under center the Broncos should be able to win that game.

I really hope that Manning can hold it together for the rest of the season, but given his previous issues with playing in cold weather and his already-fragile physical condition, the Broncos best bet might be to sit him if there’s a soft part in the schedule to keep him somewhat healthy for the end of the season.

Thanks. Apparently “toe box” means different things to different segments of the shoe-buying world, and I was unaware of that.

Two ankle protectors, a thick upper, an oil resistant sole (important during a vintage British car show) ZING BOOM GOT JOKES), and a toe box.

Well, I guess I’m “just stupid,” then, since I had to re-read the email to figure out why it had been included.

If the kit is excluded because of the chain of custody issue, then the best evidence rule would seem to allow the nurse’s testimony since the “best evidence” is unavailable. I’m not really sure what the value of such testimony would be, since the nurse can’t testify about the results of any tests on the contents of…

Even if the judge in a civil suit decided to allow testimony about the tampering, I think you’d still be looking at a tossup on the effects of it for either side. Both the plaintiff and Kane would probably argue that the rape kit was tampered with because the contents were unhelpful to each parties’ respective case.…

If that was really the goal, it seems to have accomplished the exact opposite result. At best, it would have no effect rather than a positive one.

Just ask Shane Matthews.

For anyone interested, the book is called “Eat it Later.” I think the Kindle version is still on sale for a few bucks (and I get no part of any sales, if you’re wondering).

I just started a book from a guy that dropped weight and kept it off for 25 years by what seems to be (so far) basically weaning himself off of overeating slowly enough to not notice the changes in his daily intake and not missing the extra food.

Yeah, if only “watch your portions” was really that easy. Can you eyeball a serving of whatever it is you’re going to eat? Most people can’t, and if they’re not willing to get seriously anal about how much food they actually eat, “watch your portions” isn’t going to be enough.

NASA found the asteroid they wanted to sample at the very last minute.
