While it doesn’t change the ability to get Zion, it now means the Knicks are more likely to get the #1-6 pick than the #1-5.

Spike’s got the right idea, but for one night, the Garden faithful had more to celebrate than a slight increase in lottery odds.

pretending Jaylen Brown is so much better a prize than what was being offered that this fucking farce of a stretch run is totally worth it

I hate it when a batter steps out of the box to readjust his gloves, helmet, jock and every single other piece of equipment he has on his body AFTER EVERY SINGLE FUCKIN’ PITCH even if he didn’t swing at it!

No, there really aren’t any pet names you can use with a server, but...why do you even need a pet name at all though? Why not just use the actual name she mentioned when you sat down and has written on her name tag?

They do it because they don’t actually know how much gas you’re going to use ahead of time. So when you swipe, it pre-authorizes a cost, then the machine sends in the actual cost to square things up. Holds are usually cleared automatically, which is why it will typically stick around on your account for several days.

In fairness, it was also premised on the fact that making kids go through a year of unpaid NCAA basketball let them come into the league with pre-built hype while also giving teams more information about those players before the draft.

I’ve just been told that it may not pass inspection next year due to frame rust problems.

Wait, wait, wait. Have Boeheim and Stewart ever been in the same room together? They’re the same person!

Does anyone have any insights into why canceling is such a byzantine process at gyms in the first place?

The real surprise from this article is simply that MLB owners haven’t found a way to kill arbitration the same way they stopped spending in free agency.

Don’t worry, they’ll screw it up soon enough.

That jumped out at me too. Especially given that part of Blizzard’s business model for their games (particularly WoW) relies on people staying subscribed, QA and tech support are crucial.

I completely agree, but unfortunately, there’d absolutely be some ridiculous parent who would raise a hypothetical stink.

I know this post is several days old, but I just saw it and this is awesome. Definitely going to try this out; I’ve used the LTTP one and the interesting thing is just how it teaches you to use items in completely new ways - suddenly your favorite item (bow! the answer is always arrows!) is no longer available to use…

FRESH MEAT!!!!

That was so satisfying. Especially given how opaque the mechanics were, it felt like an enormous achievement to finally get strong enough to push past him.

If the average person went out and got all the right supplies (easel, canvas, good brushes, paint, etc.) could they follow along with Bob Ross during his show? Would the at-home painting end up looking as good as Bob’s?

Not even sure what this article means by “plastic mailer.” There are two photos and both feature cardboard boxes. I presume we’re not talking about bubble-wrap-lined envelopes, since those have been in use for ages now, but the not-quite-paper-not-quite-plastic fibrous envelopes that I suspect might be the subject…
