That might or might not be true in every municipality, or every case. In any case, they benefit the state and local governments, too, encouraging people to stop there and pay sales tax (and leave money in the state, instead of the next state over).

But these signs actually benefit the governments that make put them up, and in particular, they support service-industry jobs which tend to be the easiest for poorer people to get.

That could work in urban areas, but in rural areas, chances are, all eligible businesses are already listed, often with space to spare.

I get your point, and women’s athletics are all too often forgotten. I say this as a man who’s gone with a group of male friends to multiple NWSL games.

I think the headline fits. He lost his faith because it looked like we were stuck at a certain level: We might produce some players that were individually talented enough to get minutes at top-flight European clubs, but they’d never be stand out stars, and so we’d be stuck where we’ve been for 20-25 years: qualifying…

Even if every youth league is P4P, the fact is, some team’s fees are ridiculous. I’m talking, the cost of two kids’ competitive soccer could buy you a reliable used car, every year.

Uber drivers aren’t “employees,” the company calls them “independent contractors.” Uber employees do things like work on the app, handle IT, marketing/PR, deal with customer/driver complaints, or deal with the onboarding and recruitment of new drivers (most big cities have several locations where they do this).

The downside is that you’d lose a back light. I made something similar to this project using an old tablet. I had a Rasperry Pi set and plugged into my TV to emulate old games; I just added a web server to it. I then just coded a webpage with the relevant information. Power requirements were pretty light (since…

Crosby is highly offensively talented, but you can get under his skin, and it’s possible to shut him down. Malkin is by far the better all around player.

The problem becomes that a lot of people do live in the city, and locating the team anywhere else would make it harder for a lot of fans to get to. Imagine if the Blackhawks were in Schaumburg. Fans from the city, or the south burbs would have an even harder time Plus, the Cubs are a pretty strong counterfactual to…

Yeah, and I get that and I hear that, but it comes out really differently than Ottawa’s inferiority complex compared to Toronto and Montreal. The closest metaphor I can come up with is like Ottawa’s the six year old kid and is upset that it doesn’t get to sit at the adult’s table like the teenaged older sibling. “BUT…

I agree with you. If you let Fleury take the blame (or a big portion of it) for game 3, then you’ve got to give him credit for game 2. In that game, the Pens looked about as offensively creative as a group of 6 year old playing soccer, even in the late 2nd/almost all of the 3rd period when they dominated the play. …

And a year or two, he’ll get hired again. That sounds about like the job description of an NHL head coach these days, unless your name is Quinville (or, I guess, Tippett, but I have to assume that’s because even the owners of the Arizona Coyotes don’t think about their hockey team).

I moved from Ottawa to Chicago, and although I miss Ottawa in a lot of ways, I don’t the lack of perspective from citizens about their city; it’s not just about hockey.

Wait, so your argument is that because the Flyers didn’t have an answer to Tampa’s positioning on the ice that somehow it’s Tampa’s fault that the Flyers didn’t try to play good hockey?

Totally agree with you. Even with HDTV, you can see the puck when it’s in open ice with no problems, but for significant stretches of games - including exciting plays - the action happens when the camera angle + fact that the puck is by a player’s skates or stick means that it’s not visible.

Sure, except for the fact that 3 million more people voted for Clinton, and voter turnout was around 55%. So yeah, you’re definitely pissing off the 46% of Americans who voted for Trump, who represent about 25% of the population, and some segment of the people who didn’t vote.

There’s a huge difference between talking about the issues a system has, criticizing the Pentagon’s development pipeline, and then suggesting that we essentially scrap it and start again.

Love the styling Alfa put on their Nissan Juke.

Zuck did show up in a t-shirt. C’mon.
