I think “fortune favors the bold” is like the bizzaro world version of “bold strategy, cotton”

Ooh is the reason they paid off because the goalie stood on his head in a game where they got substantially outplayed during regulation?

lol

Grand closing grand opening

Really, it was an homage to Milan legend Arrigo Sacchi. Cate-hockey-o.

lol. Lmao even.

They are actually the only true Zamboni’s. Everywhere else it’s just sparkling ice resurfacing.

Really dumb question; what happens if there’s a penalty during 3 on 3?

That PP was the chance for the scrappy goal from a set piece that every smash and grab win needs.

More like Nothing MacKinnon

Letting Jose Mourinho coach the hockey team was a choice.

How has he missed that?

“That thing you did under the old rules would be against the new rules” is a strange critique to make. Would you expect a coach that thinks replay is stupid to never challenge a call while the rule is in place?

The headline is far harsher on the Justice than the body of the arguments suggests is reasonable. It reads more like she was given commitments about conduct around courthouses but those commitments were A) kept secret and B) immediately violated anyway.

Watching Chicago Pope work as a non-Catholic is sort of like being a Manchester United fan watching Liverpool become one of the smartest pro sports organizations in the world in the 20teens

"Rich asshole says some baseless shit" should not be news.

Training (also known as ‘raising’ or ‘parenting’ over here in human-land) DOES take a lot of time and energy, yet these models take SO MUCH MORE. OpenAI’s current raise is in the neighborhood of 10% of the total annual ‘cost’ of ‘training’ all ~70-75m Americans 18 or under.

Why is the pollen count so high this early in the year?

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but this is a far greater subsidy/loss leader rate than Uber or meal delivery apps used to gain market share, right? And at least in those cases there was proof of concept of sustainable non-subsidized business as taxis and pizza delivery both existed

Dude wants to marry M3gan

Hate the wheel in all variations

The talent pool isn’t wide enough that you are highly unlikely to be a real contender without a Top X (X being pick a single digit number) player. That, combined with how relatively predictable who future Top X players will be is why there is tanking.

Sigh. There is a reverse order draft for a reason and solutions which ignore those reasons tend to be cure’s worse than the disease.

To a certain degree absolutely. But I don’t know how to explain to people that if there was a 30% chance of rain and it in fact rains, 3 in 10 is quite a lot if they want to interpret 30% as 0%.

I think any local news weather reporter could tell some amazing stories about the innumeracy and statistical illiteracy of their audience.

The conflict of our era is between those who view others as people and those who don’t. Different milieu, but one of the surest signs of someone being a garbage person is unironically referring to others as “NPC’s”

If networks had enough money to pay me to be president and I could pick one person to build my entire network around, it would be Kate.

This. If we’re talking about a movie that just overall made me and still makes me mad it’s Dark Knight Rises.

Inception.

Since I recently started a new job, has gone through a round of cybersecurity training, and one of the points they made about how to spot a social engineering scam is the attempt to create a false sense of urgency. Probably not relevant here though…

Gotta respect a guy like @atrupar.com who sees That Scene in A Clockwork Orange and decides “that’s the life for me.”

He’s a genuinely good poster over there!

“What conspiracy theory do you unironically believe?”

I’m not going to assume he’s a real person quite so quickly

I might have a LinkedIn problem because I get served horseshit like this now

Don’t even get me started

It may be a magical experience for the reader/listener but it is torturous for the writer. A) the desire to edit an already published work as you read it is crushing; but also and more importantly B) by the time you finish writing a book you’re so sick of the sound of your own voice…

Taunt

I have oft been crucial of the league in recent years, but credit where it’s due on this one.

“Shoot for it” challenge resolution is a great ASG #hoopidea, great work Jamal.

I mean this in a completely complimentary way: this feels almost like a wrestling show.

Love to see it. The second part, not the first.

This was wild

It’s a similar (though more sinister) dynamic to exploding CEO pay where somehow everyone is always above average and irreplaceable enough to require being paid in the upper quartile of their peer group despite A) the logical impossibility of it and B) plenty of evidence of mediocrity

Yesterday I watched Olympic XC skiing while @sethpartnow.bsky.social took a nap and yes I am salty that he slept through the ONE sporting event in which I have expertise and he doesn't that by the way only happens EVERY FOUR YEARS Anyway in case anyone cares those snow conditions were brutal

The first two especially have no right to be as good as they are.

Only thing is how it would change the incentives in trading future picks in weird ways.

I’d like to see what 2020 at least looks like if Dragic’s foot doesn’t fall off in the first half of game 1.
