Sure, but there’s a definite utility in being able to easily and simply arrange for a cab practically on demand, see an ETA, and see exactly where the driver is at a given time.

I too know nothing about combat sports, but from the clips it looks like Govenkau is just taking it to Doeve, who looks exhausted. Govenkau may have recognized that Doeve was in no condition to counterattack as he began his spin.

I cannot imagine how completely and utterly fucked you have to be for the southern district of NY to take the time to create and tweet an infographic of the charges against you.

I get that no millionaire wants to go hang out in Syracuse. But come on man, its for like a day, and you’re just gonna be schmoozing some fans and hitting some dingers to build up some buzz around the minor league team there. Is it really that much to ask to help build up some good vibes early in the season for fans…

So if the officials confirmed that the comments were said, and Hockey East confirms the “inappropriate comments”, why not have BC forfeit their next game unless they suspend the culprit?  Either the program roots out their guilty party, or they can all go down.

Now that I think about it, WTF is actually in a Butterfinger? Is that supposed to be butterscotch?

Jeeezus, dude. All you had to do was say:

Personally I think there’s a benefit to weekly shows. It builds a nice community and buzz around the show. I really love going to forums like on IO9 or Reddit after shows like The Expanse or Star Trek and discussing the episode and speculating about upcoming plotlines. I think you lose that when everyone is not on the…

And really, isnt that the reason the most watched shows are the oldies - the ones that are a known commodity and are comfortable? There’s just no way to let any of the shows breathe. Every now and then one catches flame and people buzz about it, like “Hill House” or “Russian Doll”. But then there’s little engagement…

This seems like a suggestion, rather than a directive. And I honestly don’t think its unreasonable. Ramadan is a month-long, and shifts year to year. Its somewhat difficult for school districts to plan around, as opposed to something like Yom-Kippur or Easter. It sucks for muslim families to have to choose between…

I think this is a decent contract for both sides. Bell got the guaranteed money over a few years that he wanted. At the same time the Jets got a reasonable deal for Bell. They had to pay a premium because they’re the Jets, but given Bell’s versatility and how important he could potentially be to Darnold’s development,…

That probably would be smarter. Just have her adopt a terminator type persona - where she says nothing and dispatches opponents with machine-like efficiency. She certainly can scowl and mug for the cameras well enough. Stick a hype-man/woman behind her to do all the talking.

It was a fantastic book. And absolutely not something my dad should have bought for me when I was 10 years old! I remember lying awake at night for a month straight, terrified of freaking ebola!

Pretty sure Richard Preston wrote the Hot Zone in the mid 90s, well before Crichton died, and this is the first I’ve ever heard of any involvement of Crichton in that book.

“There’s another starship coming in... ITS THE ENTERPRISE!”

Man, I’m still moved to tears and I’ve seen this scene a zillion times!

I’ll buy people not making judgements on Chicago PD statements, but pretty much all I’ve read has been procedural updates. Basically “We’ve picked up two guys”, “We’re releasing those two guys”, “We’re still investigating” etc. I haven’t seen the PD saying Smollett was involved or that even a crime one way or the…

Yes! Daisy has been so fun as Rey. I really hope she has a great career as an actor in general, not just in Star Wars!

I swear there is an alternate future where Brady rots on the Titans bench and Belichick wins two Super Bowls with Alex Smith.

We’ve just seen a former QB turned announcer suddenly become a plausibly solid defensive coordinator. It’d be interesting to see people think outside the box when it comes to coaching. Of course, who’d know better how to counter an elite QB than another elite QB?
