>Together with complaining players and flops it makes for a miserable watching experience.

The NBA should take a page from the NHL on that. When flopping started happening in games, they put the kibosh on that real quick. I basically can't even watch soccer anymore with all the flopping, and I do not want that to happen to basketball.

>A ref should be in press conferences as well after games. They should get a voice to defend decisions as well and be asked about times in the game.

I like this idea.

The fact that she even put bat to ball against a D-1 pitcher is something, though. I'm not sure I could do that.

I'm hoping she gets at least a few more at-bats. It'll be interesting to see what she can do in the future.

Happy trails to a fellow Beaver.

He's exceptionally fast for a football player.

That's an important and meaningful distinction here, because certain characteristics that are necessary to play football will also necessarily make you a slower sprinter. He's not a world-class track sprinter because track sprinting isn't his primary focus.

If there is a virus that can self-replicate, that's news to me. Which viruses do that?

If you're counting viruses as an "organism", which the biological community does not, then the minimum amount of code required is none. Prions are misfolded proteins that have no DNA/RNA whatsoever and are able to "function" in much the same way as a virus by causing other proteins to misfold.

Shes really nice, and she's obviously a very good diver. A lot of people in the scientific community aren't real stoked with what she's doing, though.

Yeah she's not a bad person, but she's kind of a kook.

A much better example is penguins, dolphins, and sharks all having very similar appendages for swimming, or birds, bats, and butterflies all having wings.

Absolutely agree.

This isn't a fuck-up yet. But oh boy it sure will be if they go through with their plans to serve their guests silly, artsy niblets instead of an actual meal.

Great Scott intensifies

That's enough to send Marty back to the future 20.66 times!

Indeed I have, and they aren't powered by plutonium.

And even if they were that would be completely irrelevant since we're talking about electric cars here.

The comment you specifically replied to sure is, though.

Are you seriously advocating for nuclear powered cars?

I mean the league minimum salary for the NFL is $660k/yr, which is much more than the vast majority of doctors make. So if this guy is on an NFL roster, he's most certainly getting paid more than most doctors.

This story is the epitome of "if something seems to good to be true, it probably is".

"Elicit" is the verb.

"Illicit" is an adjective.

Another LPT: overhead press will cause significant damage to your rotator cuff over time.

Fuck yeah, drop the hammer on this dirtbag.

Right around their prime in 2005 I saw them at a venue in Portland that only held one or two hundred people and they weren't even the headliner if I remember correctly.

I've always liked them, but they were not big at all.

You are indeed correct!

You don't have to worry about finding a cop. If you're in one of the 49 out of 50 US states that have at-will employment laws, you're free to just get up and walk out of your job any time you want.

Your employer could try calling the police to stop you, but they'd get laughed at and then ignored.

The expectation of two weeks notice to quit your job is simply a standard courtesy, and you have no obligation to provide it if you're not planning on asking them for anything in the future.

To be fair, both Iran and Israel have done quite a lot to earn the criticism they receive on this sub. The bad actions of one certainly don't give a pass to the other.

I want this.
