If you want to get pedantic about it, rugby is already popular. It’s just that when rugby crossed the Atlantic and came to the USA, its rules evolved differently and we call it “football” today. So the reason actual rugby isn’t popular here today is that it already became popular here once and then turned into…

Lots of people, including athletes, have issues that affect them every day that they can’t escape. So telling them to shut up about what is affecting them so you can apathetically ignore them better is the height of privilege. Maybe try some empathy instead of expecting everyone to cater to your whims?

In fact, I believe that the winner of the Iowa caucus (from the non-incumbent party) has never secured the nomination.

Except Semenya is a woman trying to compete in the woman’s division. 

It’s too many coincidences. I’m sure there are Jeopardy contestants that don’t know what that number means, but there is zero chance of those players ever betting $1488 in the game.

Since all the questions are values of hundreds, that value would practically never come up as a dollar more than the next person. If we were arguing about $1401 is agree.

I know there are a lot of strategic dollar amounts wagered based on current scores, so I wouldn’t be surprised if $1400 and change occasionally came up randomly. And I know players like to add whimsical/funny/random dollar amounts for the “and change” part just to amuse themselves. I just have a hard time believing a…

Yeah, but Jeopardy contestants know more than the vast majority of people. And the odds of a particular target score being exactly $1488 away are way lower than the odds that the contestant didn't know what that number meant.

The numbers $14, $88, and $1488 (all associated with neo-Nazi propaganda) were all banned from the show last year, allegedly after a contestant accidentally bet the latter number as part of an effort to hit a particular target score

to which the crowd once again laughed, though I heard one audience member yell out “Fuck you, I love Dawson”.

How many times did you watch Meet Joe Black for this?

Papazian refused to comment because of Holy Week,

No, that guideline doesn’t necessarily always work either. Source: the first time my wife and I flew home after having our baby, in which we had the early flight in the morning and still made sure to arrive two hours early because we wanted extra time to deal with the chaos of flying with a baby for the first time.…

My wife (/borat) got me one of these for Christmas a year ago. While it’s certainly overpriced, it’s far from pointless. It’s nice to be able to take your time drinking a growler a glass at a time over a week or two instead of needing to drink it quickly before it goes flat after breaking the seal. 

Stone said he did not recognize the image at first and when he examined it later and researched it he said it was a Celtic symbol.

Then what is his goal? He’s already filthy rich, so the money isn’t a big deal. He’s already got social influence to spend, so that’s not really a draw. The amount of social and financial capital he’s expending outweigh what little he’s getting.

Use OurGroceries. Once you arrange your items in the list in store order it remembers the relative order of the items. So anything you’ve put on the list before (aka most of the stuff on any normal trip) will already be mostly arranged once you add them. No need to reorganize the whole list every time. 

If you’re going to take the time to do some original reporting, at least take the time to ask them an original question. Original reporting isn’t very original if you’re going to ask the same questions that have already been asked and answered. Try to find out something we haven’t already learned in past public…

Why would the Dems agree to this? All this seems to do is keep the government running just long enough for Trump to be able to blame the Dems in the House the next time a shutdown is looming.

I think you’re taking the advice too literally. Size shouldn’t be the only factor, otherwise everyone’s best house be several hours away from the city in some rural field where the land is cheap. But, all else being approximately equal, you’re a lot less likely to need to go house hunting again in the near future if…
