It’s really too bad the Twins’ bullpen blew it because this could have been a legend-making game for Miguel Sano. A three-run homer to put them up 8-2 and then a mammoth two-run shot to take the lead in the eighth. This is the second time this year the bullpen has blown a Twins youngster’s big home run in the ninth or…

Half of MLB is wearing these this year, for this exact reason.

I feel like I should add that this format could have screwed Mexico in 2014, when they finished 4th in the Hex by losing three of their last four matches.

She definitely knows that most insurers are nonprofit

As somebody still sitting on $120,000 in student loans, I would happily see college made free for future generations even if I was stuck with my loans.

Ah, yes, this exactly explains the perfect historical correlation between home prices and wages.

Why not both? We could repeal the 2017 tax cut, write off every student loan in the country, and still have a trillion dollars to throw around.

I honestly don’t understand this obsession with not helping struggling people just because it would also help people who aren’t struggling and I often wonder if it’s actually done in good faith.

I don’t think it’s about applying for jobs that you have no shot at, it’s more about recognizing that most jobs won’t have a perfect candidate who fills all of the qualifications, but you might be able to fit a particular niche that they need.

Just for clarification, this isn’t an actual TAS, right? That is, it’s not a computer doing the playing. ZFG is doing the playing and just stitching together the various perfect segments to show what perfect run would look like if somebody could pull it off. Am I getting that right?

If anything, I’d argue that Endgame is largely unspoilable because it’s not a movie that relies very much on tricks or twists. There’s only one really surprising death and even that is setup as an inevitability a good half-hour before it happens.

My interpretation of all the timeline stuff was that it was the stones themselves that held everything together in a wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey kind of way. So you can mess with the timeline (Loki getting free, Cap going back to the past) and the stones will kind of keep everything in its natural order, but removing…

But Steve went back and returned it to 1970, so Loki could get it later.

I’m an old Bengals fan. Sue me.

Yeah, there’s something weird going on here. The AFC East is 1, 2, 3, and 13. The AFC Central (who play the AFC East) is 5, 6, 7, and 9 and the NFC East (who also play the AFC East) is 4, 8, 11, and 12.

I feel like this is the “they play a kid’s game” argument writ small. Sure, you did it for fun. But you and the others made somebody else a lot of money. There’s no reason you shouldn’t get some of it.

Did the “Your Money or Your Life” authors ever update the investment advice in their book? Because I remember liking its budgeting and lifestyle advice but “buy nothing but government bonds as your investment strategy” doesn’t have the same traction as it did forty years ago.

I think it works for his strategy and the class of listener/reader he generally has.

I like your comment, but especially because “Ozymandias” wasn’t the penultimate episode of the show, it was the antepenultimate.

I guess I would say, in their defense, that it wasn’t their security that was hacked. Somebody else’s site was hacked and the problem is people reusing the same credentials from that other site.
