It’s not that you’re totally wrong— he’s one of the best *players* in the world, period, and that includes all surfaces. And he is very, very good on clay. However, it’s just odd to point to someone who is manifestly better on hard courts and proclaim him one of the best *clay courters,* specifically. His clay court…

Houston has no zoning, oddly enough. Weird city.

Yeah, good question. I’ve only ever heard one person call him one of the best clay courters in the world— the OP. Seriously tho- although Delpo has the power to hit through clay, it’s also a movement surface, and Delpo is notoriously not a first-rate mover. Faster hard courts are his surface.

Construction costs are a minor component of housing costs; the supply-demand imbalance, and the base land costs (also driven in part by supply-demand imbalance) are much more significant. It’s not a question of “reduce building standards,” at all, because developers will still sell at the top of the market— why…

Yeah, and every neighborhood needs to be one story, max, right? It’s not the *fact* of regulations, its the *nature* (and location, extent, scale, etc) of some of those regulations... dumbass.

Actually, this is pretty representative of how Vox does political journalism as well, so in that sense, it’s crucial.

The Ringer has an imho muuuuch better review, that really gets what the show (again imo) is trying to do: https://theringer.com/the-first-season-of-atlanta-was-about-everything-and-nothing-at-all-bd9df1b708ab#.p2wqxqxg1

Speaking as a middling player, an effective lob is often both 1) more effective than a passing shot, and 2) much harder to execute. Surprisingly difficult to lob well.

If I had paid $500 for a ticket to this match, I would A) probably be clinically insane, and B) be entitled to a little self-righteousness.

Think he was trying some kind of Agassi squash shot crossed with a drop shot. Ugly as hell.

All apostrophes matter.

Yes and no. Yes, there are plenty of racist and otherwise fucked up millennials who will oppress people in various ways. But no, millennials are more progressive as a bloc than prior generations, and that political and social orientation is a lasting thing, according to research. Contrary to popular belief, the mere…

No Pogo? Not only is Pogo among the top 6 here, at the very least, but most of the top 6 wouldn’t exist *without* Pogo. But given the standard for making the cut (e.g. Krazy Kat), this seems to say more about the staff’s limited knowledge of comics than anything else. So I won’t bother to ask “where’s Mafalda!?”

The porzoi.

George Karl has been intolerably toxic everywhere he’s been; Cousins has been on one badly managed team. I don’t understand “common denominator” in this context.

Questions:

Yeah, but he’s not saying the technique is unique; he’s saying the technique can be used to make unique sounds. I mean, it’s nice that you learned how to do some processing in school, that’s cool— but if you look at any edm production thread, or any set of tutorials on youtube or wherever, you’ll see techniques to…

Meh.
