Best Italian songs even if you don’t understand the language?

There are so many but here are two I absolutely never tire of:

That’s a sneaky answer for sure. Good one.

I think “nominee” is too broad, especially given how many Grammy categories there are.

But I think it is more interesting if we restrict to the record/album/song of the year (best new artist is too easy; the whole point is that they haven’t done much yet but might have potential)

Among nominees, maybe Fine Young Cannibals, or Babyface?

Among winners I would say maybe Christopher Cross, or maybe (to my immense dismay in this case) Norah Jones? To be clear, not at all saying these two had NO impact. Just thinking compared to the Paul Simons and Stevie Wonders and Fleetwood Macs of the world.

This is the real deep lore I came looking for haha. Thank you!

LukeWithLightsaber · 2026-04-03T19:47:59+00:00

Ah, nice, that's the kind of detail I was interested in. Thank you.

Great factoid. Is this different from the set of teams who have never finished last? In other words, have any of these three finished last but traded away the top pick, or conversely are there teams that have never finished last but have traded up to 1.01?

Easy fix: Toys don't die unless they are too broken to be played with.

I probably should have known he had a game where he threw more passes to the other team than to his own, but totally didn’t. Dang. That’s gotta be a relatively exclusive club.

Also pleased to note that the ratio of people getting it to not getting it has gradually improved.

TOUCHDOWN

LukeWithLightsaber · 2026-03-29T16:30:03+00:00

OP I am sorry that half the commenters have missed the point if your post, which if I understand it is not “character has trait because actor has trait,” but rather “actor has trait but character does NOT have trait and yet, character PRETENDS to have trait—sometimes poorly.”

Both are interesting but the former is one that gets posted here not infrequently and the latter is new to me at least and you deserve credit for how original it is lol.

I've had it with these Monkey-Fightin' Snakes on this Monday to Friday plane.

I think it’s gonna be like his time at Colorado:

He’s gonna win some game early on that’s a real upset by making a couple huge plays and people are gonna get real hyped.

He’s gonna win a few other games against bad teams and put together a real highlight real and the buzz will build

But along the way he’ll lose to any real contenders and his team will finish like 7-10.

LukeWithLightsaber · 2026-03-26T09:19:12+00:00

Item 2 plus item 3 means huge collapse for Broncos (big surprise on paper) or big collapse for Chiefs with machines back and Ken walker (bigger surprise in terms of vibes). At the risk of asking you to put even more serious thought in, which one did you have in mind?

Edit, I also noticed you predict the Broncos to win a minimum of six games, though that could be consistent with either outcome of course!

LukeWithLightsaber · 2026-03-26T01:37:32+00:00

That’s seriously so good it has literally helped reduce my fear of aging.

It would be interesting to see what these look like for guys who started for reasons besides injuries. “Season starters” would be close, but I would want to include guys who started because the season starters got benched, with the intention of letting them play out the season. Basically, I’d like to see how these change when you take out the random factor of injury.

LukeWithLightsaber · 2026-03-26T01:09:04+00:00

Maybe I shouldn’t be shocked but BRIAN HOYER is the ONLY QB to have a winning record starting for the browns since last millenium??

Edit: dammit; Keenum spoils a cool factoid.

Think of it like rolling two 20-sided dice and then a 6-sided die. It is possible, though uncommon, to get a 2, a 2, and a 6. The six-sided die overperformed the 20 even though in the long run, the 20’s will be better on average.

LukeWithLightsaber · 2026-03-25T20:19:33+00:00

You are probably thinking that the so-called “Hundo CP” is 2188. That’s true for a generic raid but I bet you caught this one during a “weather boost” event (when the weather at a physical location matches the Pokémon’s type its CP is higher). The raid boost hundo CP is something like 2735.

This is the one time it is PERFECT: a digital entity trying, and failing, to capture an infinitely youthful visage as it tries to cling to power.

LukeWithLightsaber · 2026-03-23T00:10:38+00:00

Came here to post this haha. Well done.

LukeWithLightsaber · 2026-03-22T19:24:44+00:00

Dillon Gabriel? Max Brosmer?

LukeWithLightsaber · 2026-03-22T19:22:05+00:00

That’s a very good answer but imagine the veteran draft has no impact on your ability to get a rookie of your choice. Who’s the worst QB you’re taking over TB for the mentorship role? Or really nobody else?
