I didn't know Olivia Mellan was a couple's therapist, too! Wow.

But again, he's famous for his music, not his blindness. I can only think of one person who was famous for her blindness, and that is Helen Keller (and she is arguably famous for her blindness and deafness and for fighting for the rights of all disabled people). I can think of lots of people famous for music, because…

You are confused. Stevie Wonder is famous for his music. The fact that he has a disability is ancillary. It's like Stephen Hawking, famous for his physics, not his disability. This is true because not all people who are blind or have ALS are also famous.

So, Goodell made $10m more than Matt Ryan.

People go nuts for it here. I have two bottles in my fridge. I'm just waiting to have someone over who likes 'em.

Oh, I thought that this particular discussion and comment thread came from an article and video clip about Charles Barkley talking shit about analytics. I'm not sure if you've seen the video, but its out there somewhere. Barkley says "Just cuz you got good stats doesn't mean you're a good team defensively. They're not…

At my current job, the application asked for "Requested Salary", and I put in a number that was waaaay too low (this job is in Silicon Valley and I moved from Arizona). They gave it to me, minus $1000/year, and gave me a $1000 signing bonus. So I ended up getting exactly what I requested, but I think its quite a bit…

I didn't understand this joke until you said this, so...thanks.

I'm not a fan of IPAs, but Russian River's Pliney the Elder has a huge following in Northern California, is fairly difficult to find, and makes the brewery one of the most touristy destinations in the city of Santa Rosa.

What the fuck am I supposed to drink with my warm, fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies, huh?!?!

Step Zero: TONE-DOWN THE HDR EFFECTS, FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

Nice - using analytics to defend Barkley's stance that analytics don't matter.

Nice - using analytics to defend Barkley's stance that analytics don't matter. I didn't see that one coming.

I wouldn't necessarily call those numbers a "disaster" for Tesla. If you break down the cash flow numbers, most of that "loss" comes from investment. Their growing, so they're buying equipment and investing in the company.

LOL @ "Chiropractors can be a wonderful resource for families, for preventive care and for treating illness, as well as sharing the wealth of knowledge they have about holistic health, and their offices are usually free from pressure to vaccinate."

It seems like the most effective way of keeping people off of drugs is to put them on welfare.

This is a well-written, thoughtful, and articulate comment.

Also a great method for quitting smoking. If you want a cig, tell yourself you can have one in 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the urge will be gone.

You don't need anything like that, but angostura bitters are a must-have for drinks like Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, hot toddies, and plenty of other whiskey-based drinks.

Y'know, by just mentioning him now, you have literally put Eli Manning "in the discussion".
