I've never run track, but it seemed odd to me that the passer was carrying the baton in her right hand while the receiver was sticking out her left hand. Is that common and was it the problem?

Work (this alone should have gotten it, though school likely would have worked too)

We'll the team doesn't get a medal so the better correction would probably be "The 2012 Olympic Relay Team MEMBERS Just Lost Their Silver Medals."

It's always important to remember that your rights end where somebody else's begin. In this case, your right to freedom of speech does not trump my right to freedom of association. So if I don't want my company to associate with somebody because they're an apologist for racists, that's my right.

Without a longer video I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that with two outs and the bases loaded that the pitcher was working from the windup and has a Nomo-esque delivery, giving the runner plenty of time to get home.

To add to McUncool's post, Deadspin's first post on the subject carried the headline

For the first month or so after a movie or episode comes out, anything beyond "Holy crap that was amazing," should stay out of any and all of the following: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, break rooms, dinner tables, comment threads, and smoke signals.

The PR flack said they have had 450-500 deaths "since 2011." I calculated 3,500 deaths PER YEAR, in 2011, 2012, and 2013. That's assuming the population of Indian workers has been stable at 500,000 each year. That may not be the case, but that's the information he gave us.

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.
