It might have been the greatest championship moment of any level of any sport. Between the shot itself and the historical differences between the two teams, I can’t imagine anything else like it.

Butler over Duke. Hands down no question.

As a PS3 owner currently making his way through the back catalog, are there enough games to justify the upgrade for a middle-adopter?

On the one hand, I see how this is definitely a violation of net neutrality. On the other hand, the future of broadband internet is almost certainly going to involve bandwidth caps or metered usage of some kind and this really does make sense with that kind of service. The only thing keeping me from getting PS Vue…

That’s the whole point of insurance. You’re betting against yourself. You’re betting that you’ll die, or get in a car accident, or become disabled. It’s called a hedge. And there are a lot of ways to lose an income without losing a job. My dad had two heart surgeries in a close span and was basically without work (or…

I hope you never lose your job during an economic downturn. If you had put your emergency fund in, say, a DJIA index fund in 2004 but then got fired in 2009, you would have lost 40% of its value. So not only do you have to pull out investments at the bottom of the market, but instead of having six months of an…

I think there is a bit of sexism to the calling out of women in particular, but I think part of it is also that vocal fry stands out a lot more in women’s voices because they’re higher to begin with. The difference is more stark.

which in this case refers to the income needed to support two adults and one child.

I love, love, love the Lego games, but I’m a little wary that one film can support an entire game. The best games generally incorporate three or more films (or an entirely original story). One movie might be stretching it. I guess they’re including stuff that supposedly comes between Jedi and the new film, so that…

I was thinking more: Gun blast goes off. Somebody thinks it’s a real shotgun firing and shoots the thief. Bike owner and alarm manufacturer get the crap sued out of them.

No thanks. The whole point of Zemo was that he wasn’t a super-villain. He was just a pissed off, grieving dude who hated the Avengers and the only way that he could get revenge was to get them to attack each other.

Hayley Atwell’s already been booked as the lead of a new ABC drama, so no.

I’m pretty sure there’s a mixup of scales here. The one degree thing generally refers to a one degree Celsius change in temperature while Alaska is 11 degrees Fahrenheit above normal.

So two of the three strikes were bad calls and Farrell got tossed for the one correct call? Sounds about right.

The NCAA didn’t really make a killing in that deal. When you factor in inflation, $1.1b in 2032 is about $750m in today’s money, right about what they’re getting now from CBS/Turner (the 2010 deal had a $770m/yr average).

It looks like the study was done by the National Association of Home Builders or, in other words, “It’s not our fault the water heater in your new house died after 10 years. That’s just the average.”

I was referring less to the spectacle and more just to the idea that Jon’s resurrection basically amounted to Davos asking Melisandre to bring him back and her doing it. I was kind of hoping for a little bit more than that.

Cat dragons! Who doesn’t want a cat dragon?

I haven’t paid for shipping at Amazon in years because I’m willing to wait a few days for anything I order. This move only means that I’m going to buy something elsewhere, or not at all, instead of Amazon.
