My city’s public transit system is broken because they built with the expectation that apparently nobody will walk more than a couple of blocks.

CBS is doing weird things with a lot of its programming in April and May, likely because the shows have penalties attached if they get pushed into summer.

He points to a Wikipedia entry about the geology of Jersey, which claims that the cliffs contain loess deposits—a silt-sized and porous sediment. As Petley puts it, “This is not a material that I would expect to be resistant to erosion.”

“The mixture of potassium permanganate and Nutella (about 1:4) gives a sticky, slow-burning reaction that would make for a genuinely useful firestarter. It’s the same reaction as the more classic potassium permanganate and icing sugar, only slower.”

I think it exposes the inherent cheesiness of a lot of film endings. I mean, if you look at that Matrix video, with the slow-motion walk out of the phone booth and putting on the sunglasses, the zoom cuts, and the flying towards the screen, it’s just terribly cheesy, divorced from the rest of the movie. Adding the…

Fahrenheit. Kansas.

Small sample size, but I just ran these numbers today and my city is currently sitting at 6.5 degrees above normal for the year and, if the current ten day forecast holds, will be 7.5 degrees above normal before the end of the month.

I think one of the things a lot of people miss is that, if you are married filing jointly, unless you have a very large mortgage, live in a high property tax area, or have a lot of other deductible expenses, you will likely not be able to benefit from the mortgage interest deduction.

The art of the teaser trailer really has been lost. It used to be, you’d get one teaser trailer (45-60 seconds), just to give you a feel for the movie, and one full-length trailer (2:30) to give you some plot.

I’m pretty sure I had baseball cards from this league. Not sure if it’s the same league you’re talking about, but these are the cards I had, from the Senior Professional Baseball Association.

Frankly, Netflix’s early customers were subscribing to a business model (DVD rentals) that was already dying. Then you factor in that their next business model (streaming reruns of television and movies) was a model with essentially limitless competition and a reliance on other people’s content and it’s easy to see…

That’s from their original statement, though, before everybody realized what had happened with the stopwatch overlay. They haven’t commented since.

I assume you’ve reached out to them. Any comments at all? Even a “no comment”?

It appears so, yes.

I'm about as big a Bama homer as they come and for the better part of a half-decade I HATED Cam Newton. But the constant hand-wringing and not so subtly racist shots by fans and the media (though not Deadspin) actually have me rooting for him. Goddammitsomuch.

Presumably they haven’t rented either room yet, so whoever gets there first decides.

Except... they never say the team.

This seems less like the Friday night death slot and more like the Adult Swim timeslot. In fact, outside of sports, two of the three highest-rated Friday night cable shows are Adult Swim’s Family Guy repeats, which air at...you guessed it...10:00 pm.

That boils down to $231 per household which is frightfully close to the cost of the much more modern and feature-rich TiVo Bolt.

According to TGI Friday’s’ nutritional info:
