What food is most eaten while preparing a meal? I feel like I eat more Mozzarella than what makes it into whatever I’m cooking.

the premium that contractors charge governments over private clients more than compensates for whatever penalties they inevitably incur when the schedule goes kaput.

Right, but the point is that the attendance bump doesn’t actually boost the local economy. If you build a new stadium and attendance goes from 20,000 to 30,000 season ticket holders, then 50% more attendance. Cool right?

The Great Lakes Science Center (the white building barely visible over the left side of the Pyramid) is a much, MUCH better deal.

You’d think so, but it’s actually not really a slam on other groups.

He isn’t “owed” anything, no; the Lions took that money back in full accordance with the contract he signed in accordance with the CBA.

The real disappointment with the storytelling of Anakin is that there actually are good, detailed story reasons behind his heel turn...it’s just that ALL of those reason are buried in the Clone Wars cartoon and barely referenced in the main movies.

Not to derail, but the “interruption right before a Major Important Discussion” is my least favorite TV framing device.

I think the problem isn’t necessarily that advancing tech will increasingly render human beings less and less cost-effective at getting things done, it’s what to do with those humans now that there’s nothing for them to do?

But if nobody actually realizes that’s your clothing, then what’s the purpose of this marketing?

The only etiquette I can think of is that the patron should go with the first sample they have that they like.

Ohio is pretty infamous for having tons of speed traps and highway patrols.

It’s marked, yeah, but I think NateDogg’s point was that the price they advertise first will often include those discounts. So the ad is like:

It’s possible no one would have ever noticed if North Face hadn’t released a video boasting about its plot.

Awesome. Definitely looking forward to some follow-up articles when you get the chance. BG is fantastic and deserves some more similar games set in the Forgotten Realms...just not as a direct-sequel to wreak havoc on the excellent storyline of the existing ones.

Yeah, I’m surprised Jason didn’t question or mention this aspect at all.

Yeah, this is the part that’s super weird.
