It’s a battle of attrition.

Few points of clarification that I felt should note regarding bedbugs that didnt get mentioned:

Honestly the best bar stool sports content I’ve ever seen. 

It’s a perfect example of how he argues. After claiming that Kobe was one of the best players in 2010-2013, he whips out “25th in VORP for 2012” and hopes that the first two numbers cover for it. Get the hell out of here, man!

This is monumentally terrible advice. If your first leg gets delayed or altered in such a way that it makes getting on your second leg impossible, you have zero recourse if you book the legs separately. If you book them together, then the airline has to accommodate you. Even if it’s separate airlines but you booked on…

In the history of the Takeout Draft, I have never before seen anyone lose a draft on the first pick.

You can’t maintain a bad, bloated, and often harmful system because some people don’t want to look for a new job. Imagine you’re talking about coal miners, saying the exact same thing.

The only problem is that she turned 79 this year. Time is running out for her living alone. I don’t know. . .  But you have to do what you have to do.

The whole system is a raw deal and is not sustainable in the long run. When I got out, I was going to give myself two years to get a full time job. No adjuncting. Failing that, I was bailing on academia entirely.

It’s a truly bizarre process, and if you strike it rich and find a good position, you should count your blessings and dig in for the long haul.

It’s all just Harden trying to off Paul in increasingly wacky “Home Alone” type scenarios, so he can collect a life insurance policy he took out on him.

So my mom died very unexpectedly this year, and I had to deal with the 30+ years of stuff in her house. This included two entire sets of good china, a set of Christmas china, and about a thousand little knick knacks.
