To me, if the context of how we get to the finale completely changes between the show and book, the ending really isn’t the same even if the final fates of the characters are the same.

You’re definitely right that people generally like congregate. And companies certainly are finding that there’s a lot of jobs where the old-fashioned “let’s physically sit in the same building” has a surprising amount of business value.

It’ll be interesting to see how that trend evolves as the “younger group of people” ages and their tastes change. Will that younger group stay in the city or will they move out to the suburbs eventually as their tastes changes, they age, they have children, etc?

Also, you probably encounter traffic on the way back in the form of people leaving their offices to head to lunch.

One of the best ways I’ve heard this concept described is that you should view requirements as a general profile of what they’re looking for.

I hate that too. Over the years, I’ve figured out two strategies that generally works pretty well:

Brilliant.

The real benefit of eating lunch at 11 am is that it makes the whole process much more efficient and faster. If I go to lunch and get there at 11 or shortly thereafter, there’s no lunch traffic to fight on the drive, there’s no line to be seated, there’s no delay in getting my soda/food/bill, then there’s not much…

Wait, what restaurants even have their own delivery drivers?

The counterpoint to this is that the entire thing happened from 1977 to 1998. It’s pretty hard to gather evidence and reliable testimony when:

Almost as importantly, even if there is history of doing the maintenance, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the car was treated well. I know plenty of people who do all the maintenance exactly as scheduled, then treat the car like garbage when they’re actually driving it.

This is really interesting. Great interview and appreciate the behind the scenes look.

The most recent guidelines from health.gov suggest we all get at least 150 minutes of exercise per week, or 75 minutes if the exercise is vigorous. Divide by the seven days in a week, and you’d meet the requirement with just 11 minutes a day.

The Raptors made a similar gamble last year in trading for Kawhi Leonard, and while it has worked out so far, it will look less wise if Toronto fails to win the title this year only to see Leonard sign elsewhere in the summer.

The issue with that comparison is simply that soccer teams actually care about those intermediate titles. A lot, actually! Winning the Premier League is a huge accomplishment that fans recognize, teams celebrate, and everybody really makes a huge deal over. Even if a team flops in Champions League, they still…

Yes, as a second round pick - which actually furthers the overall point that GSW was not built through high lottery picks. They built through the draft, yes, but not through some focused “gotta collect high lottery guys! lose a ton of games to get top draft picks!” tanking plan, but instead through smart use of lesser…

In fact, you could go a step further than that: Of this year’s four conference finalists, none of them were really built through high lottery picks:

What’s an article of clothing that you wish would come back into style or finally become popular enough to acceptably wear in public?

I’m legitimately wondering what he’d have done if Chris had actually picked up the phone to call him.

Celtics snatched home-court advantage away from the Bucks with a Game 1 win.
