Enes Kanter coverage tends to fork into two categories, both of which are true to the man himself and both of which are honestly pretty confusing taken together. One is Kanter Bravely Stands Up To Authoritarian, and the other is Kanter Bungles Badly While Seeking Attention.

I’ve been to a lot of sports events with obnoxious fans present. I’m reasonably certain that plenty of people have asked, but got a response like: “NO WAY MAN, I’M SUPPORTING MY TEAM! YOU SHOULD CARE MORE ABOUT THIS GAME! GOOOOOOOOOO CATS!!!!!”.

Martell doesn’t have to transfer until the summer. He definitely could choose to wait it out until the Fields waiver is decided on. He’d likely want to be on his new campus for fall camp, but he could absolutely decide to stick around till the Fields waiver is resolved or even choose to fight Fields for the job in…

The real losers of this situation could actually be Ohio State. Martell’s departure would mean the Buckeyes will seriously lack depth at quarterback.

Right. The interesting part here is the quirky defense of trying to always force Harden to go right and knocking him a little out of his comfort zone.

Shame too, as Rutgers was the birthplace of college football.

Yeah, Shaq was a bad choice of example, because he legitimately tried to improve his free throw shooting via practice, shooting coaches and even (supposedly) a psychotherapist, but just couldn’t sink free throws in real games.

That is exactly how that works. It’s a marginal tax rate. As a very simplified theoretical example, let’s say there are only two tax brackets: #1 is the under-$500k bracket and is taxed at 20%. #2 is the bracket that applies to $500,001 and up bracket and is taxed at 40%.

You’d have to be pretty petty to get upset if someone declines your food because it doesn’t agree with them. There’s also the “sorry, I’m not a fan of X” reply too that shouldn’t be received as insulting either. 

1.) You’re making the same mistake as millennialharley: You forgot the tax. The prices listed on the menu don’t include tax, which is typically 6-10% on its’ own. In most situations when someone leaves early and just drops some cash, it comes before the actual bill, which is where all the issues come in because people…

1.) If you want to get technical, the best estimate for the exact amount is $33.04, as I showed in some more detailed math in a response to millennialharley, to cover the $26 for food/drink, typical 6-10% tax, and the (probably automatic) 18% gratuity. That said, in my experience, when people are just throwing down…

Whoever starts (probably Fields), bringing in one of the most highly regarded QB prospects in the nation along with five-star, all-everything defensive lineman Zach Harrison is not a bad way for new coach Ryan Day to make up for the program’s loss of two 2020 recruits.

Ah, I see. On the bill, yeah, taxes are included, so you’d be right in that case.

I hadn’t thought of that, but...yeah, that is also an acceptable answer.

When I listed the cost for food and drink, I meant it as the numbers listed on the menu (pre-tax in almost every restaurant), since that’s what “early leavers” typically use to calculate.

Except that doesn’t include tax. In most cities I’ve visited, tax typically ranges somewhere from 6-10%, depending on local laws. Using my food&drink total of $26, that puts you at around $28 before considering tip. So your $30 is only a 7% tip, which is well below the standard.

Yeah. I’m of the firm opinion that splitting evenly never works in a big group. There’s always at least one of the following wildly unfair situations:

It’s safe to assume that eventually every device in your home, from TVs to smartphones to voice-activated microwaves

Yeah, the “lighthouse keeper” title completely misrepresents the actual job. The actual “lighthouse keeper” part of the job is fairly simple - change the bulb every X months, fill up the kerosene and/or change batteries on a daily basis, keep everything clean.
