The craziest part is that for each team, something like 14 out of 16 matchups are set literally YEARS in advance (with the only two unknowns being the two games against “Corresponding finisher in AFC West” which you don’t know until the end of the prior regular season) - currently you can find via Google the opponents…

NY Giants trading up for Eli has worked out well (for both teams actually).

The goal is to suck for a couple years, accumulate draft picks BUT getting away with it and still having solid attendance due to Last Year of the Ted! (2016) and Look at Our New Stadium! (2017, 2018). Then by 2019, the team will actually be really good when the new stadium smell wears off and fan attendance becomes…

Feedback is actually often pretty useless to designers.

Have you actually played the most recent expansion? They disabled flying for the majority of the expansion’s lifecycle. And even once they enabled flying, you still had to personally complete ALL the open world content (normal quests, dailies, rep grinds) before your account got the option to fly.

The venture capitalists did NOT miss it coming. Remember, the stock at IPO was like $40 or so - and the venture capitalists who invested before the IPO paid even less. The stock is currently trading at $110 or somewhere in that neighborhood.

Maybe I’m an exception, but I’m not super thrilled about having all the interior controls and gauges on a screen. With the old-school knob-and-button system, you can adjust things like heat, defrosters, etc without even looking just by feel, but if you’re doing everything on a touch-screen, suddenly you’re spending a…

Given the NCAA’s firm belief that they’re in the right (not just here, but in everything, ever), I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if they give McNair a sufficiently lowball offer that he refuses it.

How many times did he try that exact shot before sinking one? In dress clothes with that shooting form, it’s gotta be over 20 attempts right?

The question is how many of those locals actually care about hockey though - a lot of the recent NHL expansions to warm-weather cities with no hockey tradition haven’t really done well (Thrashers, Panthers, etc). Given the number of home games, you really want a serious base of hockey-loving season ticket holders…

Good point. The lost capital appreciation is something people consistently seem to overlook when they talk about housing as an investment. In typical markets (not mid-2000's bubbles), you’re probably looking at 1-3% increase in value every year on your $300,000 house. If you took that same $300,000 and invested it,…

The most important issue here, which wasn’t really addressed: Can you even FIND the person whose couch it was? The writer assumed the person could be found for purposes of the article, but that’s a much bigger problem than any legal or civil theory.

This, this, and more this. The idea of TRAVELING FOR A VEHICLE, including spending hours contacting rural areas, is only feasible for people who have lots of spare time or who actually enjoy it as a hobby.

I like #1 and #2, but they sadly won’t happen. Those are major, direct costs to the airline (since you need to remove seats to make it happen) - which would then prevent them from competing on price with the discounters.

And the most important stage...

The issue isn’t the cost, it’s the use of Steam refunds. Refunds are intended to address games that don’t work or that you try and immediately hate. Refunds aren’t intended to be used like library books, where you show up, get what you want, consume all the content, then give it back to them, all at no direct cost to…

Low taxes. Great services. Realistic understanding about the nature of money.

Fishing exists solely to have something to do while waiting for a queue to pop or if you log on a little before your raid kicks off or whatever. Basically a “well, I have a few minutes of downtime, but not a ton of time”.

No offense, but this sadly isn’t the way food service works. “Find a new job with a better owner” is a great theory, but those jobs are few and far between.

One thing you failed to mention - Don’t be expecting a scorching-hot, 20 minute delivery.
