I can guarantee you that if she’d showed up with a check for the exact quote plus tax and fee, they’d have shrugged and taken it. Maybe they’d fight you a little about a few extra addons, but if you really ground your teeth in, they’d take your check. The purpose of these kind of bait-and-switch tactics is to get you…

It’s a funding issue - advertisers have realized (correctly) that nobody ever clicks on banner ads or really even looks at them any more. An auto-playing video SCREAMING AT YOU FROM YOUR SPEAKERS does still get your attention*.

It does not appear to have a website run by the local government but instead it has what appears to be fansite run by a women named Hazel Dawn, who as best as I can tell is a real Leslie Knope.

Same here - I was exactly 144 pounds basically constantly between age 18 and age 29...but somewhere in the early 30's, that awesome metabolism vanishes. It might not slow down enough to balloon to “obese”, but it absolutely will slow enough that the middle-aged guy stomach roll is a legit consideration.

I love the chairs. From the video they look like there’s legit no back support. Like...why????

I also think that the self-driving optimism itself is kind of insane. I’m still waiting for Google Maps to fix incorrect roads and addresses that have existed longer than Google itself.

In 2018, most gamers literally dozens of unfinished games sitting in their Steam library. Heck, there’s some statistic floating around that some crazy percentage like 20% of Steam purchases aren’t even played enough to unlock a single achievement...which is pretty amazing given that most games have at least one…

Plus, taking all the large things on the day when the OP already has a truck and people helping just makes sense.

I must be picturing golf carts inaccurately, because I’m imagining the stereotypical one you see in movies - cheap white plastic covering, a bottom-tier engine, four wheels, 2-4 bucket seats, a small canopy, and a ‘dashboard’ which is basically just a speedometer and gas gauge. And I absolutely refuse to imagine that…

Sir, you appear to be unfamiliar with the operational model of Big Money College Athletics. That fence is made of hand-selected and hand-made steel, mixed with real silver and platinum, painstakingly assembled without tools to provide the proper level of grandeur and importance which we all associate with the proud…

I legitimately did not know that calling a blog on the telephone was actually possible (much less something that people do).

Uh, no, that’s not the reason. Read the quote of the law:

There is a certain way that the Cleveland Browns have to play, and we are going to earn our stripes.

It doesn’t matter if they know the Crusades were abject failures or not, because even if they do, they certainly wouldn’t care. It’s no different than the ‘patriotic Americans’ who get pissed about people disrespecting the national anthem while proudly wearing bumper stickers/flags/etc of actual traitors…

Malcolm Gladwell actually did a very interesting podcast on the underhand shot a couple years ago. Some of the most famously bad FT shooters in history (Shaq, Wilt, etc) all tried underhand at some point, usually saw a significant increase in their shooting with it...but then quickly abandoned it because of the…

I doubt it. Because during the game itself, GSW would probably be too shell-shocked and caught off-guard to react immediately by going after LeBron/Love. So Cleveland probably wins, but escapes without immediate retaliation.

If you’ve lived in the same house/apartment for more than a couple years, you can do this very naturally by simply going to your basement/attic/storage or the deepest part of your closet or a similar location and pulling out boxes at random. Odds are that you’ll find something interesting that you totally forgot…

As a casual player, the best piece of advice I ever received for H-O-R-S-E is to focus on reliable shots that you know you can make. Then exclusively shoot that shot over and over and over again. After the first couple, the average player will start to overthink it and start racking up letters. Free throws,…

This might vary by the airline. I mostly fly Delta and Southwest, both of which provide you a bag of peanuts or a ‘cookie’ (term used loosely) as part of their drink service cart, even on short-haul flights of 1-2 hours.

It certainly should be common sense.
