Totally agree. We’re tackling the floors this summer, but I know a lot of people are scared of electrical work, but there are some basic things that are super easy. Diagnosing and replacing a broken outlet or switch is really easy and requires less than $15 of tools and equipment. Same with replacing a light with a…

My favorite story is this:

It’s not just cosplay photographers. David Carson, the St. Louis Dispatch’s photographer who won a Pulitzer for his pictures from Ferguson, is constantly having to go after people for using his photos. I’ve seen him have to go after political campaigns and even other news outlets.

Can you, American reader, imagine running such aw-shucks analysis on your favorite pro teams? No, you cannot. Because you know how to resent the success of others like a true patriot.

I will say, as somebody who quite enjoyed Man of Steel, I was quite drawn to the idea of a conflicted Superman in a world where his power is feared more than adored. It’s a good idea. The problem is that Snyder isn’t good enough to put it into practice.

You can go with curtains or shades or whatever is to your liking. My point is just that most people don’t think of their window treatments much and spending a little bit of money beyond the $10 Walmart miniblinds makes a big difference.

Blinds, blinds, blinds. I can’t stress how much decent blinds or window treatments can change a room. Just upgrading white miniblinds for some 2" wood or faux wood blinds can make a huge difference. It gets rid of that “I live in an apartment” feel and makes everything much more homey.

The NCAA limited this by also limiting the length of a head start the kicking team gets to five yards. That way, it takes longer for them to get downfield, discouraging the intentional short kick.

Football Study Hall did a study on it after the first season. I don’t have the link but you should be able to Google it. They moved the kickoff to the 35, brought touchbacks to the 25 and limited kick coverage run up to five yards and the combined effect was to double the percentage of touchbacks from about 20 percent…

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nothing that crazy for me, but one of the worst storms I’ve seen was a blizzard in March 2005 (skip to 1:50 for the shot of a tow truck rescuing another tow truck).

Even more than that, you can schedule your payment as a direct debit to be taken out whenever you want. You can do your taxes in February, schedule your payment for April 15th, and walk away.

This actually seems better to require television service instead of internet service, especially if you’re already an AT&T customer.
