If these numbers are true, the US should be begging Qatar for its secrets on preventing deaths. The death rate for Americans aged 25-54 (probably the rough age of foreign workers in Qatar) in 2007 was 710 per 100,000. The rate is probably higher for men only, but let's just use 700. At 700 deaths per year per…

This is what happened to me. I had two 768 games within the first three days (including one game with a 768 and a pair of 192s) and I haven't seen one since.

I will quibble with one piece here: do not butter your bread. Melt the butter in the pan and sauté the sandwich in the butter. When it's ready to flip, pull the sandwich out, melt some more butter in the pan and repeat the process with the other side. You can thank me later.

Hate to burst your bubble, but:

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was pointing out that the worst-case scenario statement was based on them both getting the answer wrong.

Of course, the strategy was irrelevant in this case, because Chu was the only person to get the right answer, but you can see why he bet what he did—if they had both been wrong, a tie would be the worst-case scenario, and if they had both been right, he'd win.

That's kind of how we have it set up. Enough to pay off our house and any other debt there would still be plus a little extra (or a lot extra in my wife's case since I'm the one with most of the student loan debt). At that point, with no debt, either one of us would be capable of living our current lifestyle on one…

You know what would make this really great? Stick to the beef, add some cinnamon, cumin, and allspice and call it by its rightful name: Goddamn Cincinnati Chili.

Honestly, I remember that perfect game so well. I somehow saw the ending of that game at my grandparents' house (notable because they lived in rural South Dakota and only spent the night there maybe a dozen times in my life - it must have been an ESPN look-in) and it came on the same night that the MLBPA set an…

Either that or it ricochets off the wall next to them.

Looks like it goes 10-9 really fast, then 7-6 really fast, then holds on 6 seconds. It's probably okay in aggregate

Turns out they added a rule this year specifically to address my issue.

Not to mention that the umpire should have stayed over the ball to give NW time to substitute. /don't care

I think it depends on where you live, how cold it is, and how well insulated your house is.

You should read your own links better.

I remember that episode. I think he uses an outside fireplace (or a chimney starter), burns some wood chips and puts a metal bowl filled with ice over the chimney, suspended over something to collect the smoke condensation as it drips off the bottom of the bowl.

Just be careful. My wife and I thought the same things about our jobs (regular pay increases, promotions, etc.) as a city employee and a teacher. Then she lost her teaching job two weeks before we closed. Thankfully she got a new job pretty quick, but it was about 25% less pay. We purposely didn't over-extend…

I second this whole-heartedly. My wife recently started teaching voice lessons on the side and, while she's only got three students at the moment, she's bringing in $180/mo for less than two hours per week of work. That extra cash can be immensely helpful

A schoolboy rugby player died from second impact syndrome after playing rugby for 25 minutes and colliding with another player, an inquest has heard.
