For my music library on Google Play or Amazon, isn’t downloading .mp3 mostly (or entirely) my only option? Since we licensed the songs in that format, will Google or Amazon try to re-charge us for the songs in a different format at some point? Or are there options for the songs we’ve already licensed to get them in…

Thought about that in particular for beach reference, but technology vs. old school seemed more Rocky 4.

So Cars 3 = Rocky 4?

Bummed. The place near us always does a great event, but ran low on stock before we could get there. Kids and I missed out on a lot of what we wanted from the list.

“The first is, Boston’s Kelly Olynyk flattens Washington’s Kelly Oubre Jr. with a chest-to-chest two-handed shove; the referee whistles him for a common offensive foul.”

Olynyk dipped his shoulder into Oubre’s head, see 1:12 - 1:14. Dirty fucking play.

Counterpoint: At the 1:13 - 1:14 mark replay clearly shows Olynyk dipping his shoulder to contact Oubre’s head. Dirty as fuck.

In b4 massive flood of “Well, actua . . .

80 - 90% expert consensus on an issue of such potential impact is more than enough to justify adjusting public policy. If you want to have an academic debate over one of the minority hypothesis, have at it. But in the interim don’t conflate the existence of such minority takes with a reasonable justification to oppose…

I’m generally a good and voracious reader, but in this case consuming American Gods via the full cast audiobook really enhanced the experience (having already read the book several years ago). Highly recommended.

As for last episode, Julia would have absolutely put a bullet right between Reynard’s eyes. Was hugely disappointed in that because it took her established character and threw it out the window for the sake of one scene. They should have finished him the way he got done in the book.

It’s about patterns in the industry.

I really like researched articles like this that present data. Can you help me with one of your data points? Your article said, “A 2015 study by the Center for Economic and Policy Research shows that whites with the exact same résumés as their black counterparts are hired at double the rate.”

And yet these things keep happening.

“North Korea is the world’s crazy uncle.”

I have 2 girls, ages 11 and 13 . . . Is there any efficient way of filtering the big lost above into what’s, say, Avengers-style PG-13, and what’s got more mature themes?

I struggled with the end. How does a world-breaker get trapped by a drone? David was always self-limited by his mental illness, but this David is, as far as we can tell, as mentally healthy as he’s ever been. And some floating fish tank just saunters up and sucks him in? Hard to buy it.

There is a lot of support for Archie Miller from the fan base voicing opinions on Twitter, forums, etc. Including me, I think that would be a pretty good fit. As far as my delusions I would love to see Glass pitch Few. But we can all have our delusions, right?

“You realize that any possibility that OG and Bryant and possibly Morgan had of staying are now likely zero.”

3 years left on contract doesn’t work, it’s not putting anyone involved in a situation to succeed. Even if the team improved next year, he’d have no luck recruiting the remainder of the 2017 class and none at all for 2018 . . . you just exacerbate the up/down situation. Have to extend or let go. Glass, after having…

You might give the book another try with the full cast audiobook. I also struggled with the book, but I found the audiobook so much better at conveying . . . well, everything. It really was a different, improved, experience for me.
