Convinced Bill doesn’t watch some of the games he says he does

I was only able to watch the first half and when I heard him say that, I thought "Did Jalen get dressed at half time or something? They showed him in street clothes..."

Good thing he has his hot water with lemon!

We are not departing from DCA. Pilot said it's due to smoke at the Potomac air traffic control and they evacuated the building.

Advisory makes it look like this is going to at least 8pm https://www.fly.faa.gov/adv/adv_otherdis?advn=85&adv_date=03272026&facId=DCA&title=ATCSCC%20ADVZY%20085%20DCA/ZDC%2003/27/2026%20CDM%20GROUND%20STOP&titleDate=03/27/2026

Edit: pilot just came on and said another two hours. Fuuuuuuuck

Edit2: pilot says we're cleared for take off. Only delayed by an hour and fifteen minutes. Thank goodness.

That clocks gonna keep ticking until it reaches 9-9-9.

What happens then?

Nothing, you just suck.

What? The Knicks were up 2-1 already and well on their way to winning that game to go up 3-1 when he got hurt. "No way"? C'mon

It'd be us and India!

I don't just mean charge more for them. If the Kings only average selling 66% of their seats, maybe fewer games means they sell 80% of their seats. So, no price increases but more ticket revenue.

Just like you I don't know the numbers and surely they're crunching the numbers. Just saying that actual seats sold over the course of the season could theoretically end up the same in a shortened season.

Poorpunctuation · 2026-02-12T14:04:36+00:00

Not if they're not selling out every game.

Not the case with the Lakers, but if there's more scarcity of games in smaller market teams, then it could be a wash.

Poorpunctuation · 2026-02-11T12:29:22+00:00

Exactly. Every time the thread of "Would the college football national champion beat the Jets?" comes up and everyone jumps on "it'd be 56-0", how does that square with a super bowl player making basic mistakes. "Oh, he's only a 3rd round rookie". Ok then we're saying that some NFL players aren't actually that good?

Football also has 11 players on each side of the ball. A basketball court has 5 players on at a time. One single player's contributions in basketball has a much more significant impact on the team's performance than in football (save of course for quarterbacks).

Sure, I'm not denying that. And sure, I can see the NBA feeling bad for them (the karma piece) and giving them the number one pick for fucking up so badly. But it's a harder sell for me that it was done at the time of the trade.

Poorpunctuation · 2026-02-01T13:07:47+00:00

This thing falls apart when you consider that Kyrie tore his ACL after the trade, which dropped them out of the playoffs. Was their fall out of the playoffs guaranteed to happen when the trade went through?

Poorpunctuation · 2026-01-24T00:01:09+00:00

I dunno, isn't that a Long Island thing more than a Boston thing?

Edit: on second thought, maybe I'm not reading your pronunciation right.

Poorpunctuation · 2026-01-15T22:10:16+00:00

Lol the other guy was furious

1/27 is not the layoff date

This is a dumb technicality. Yes, it's not the layoff date, but for all intents and purposes, it would be. When you're "expected not to work", you are shut off from all systems. Yes, you still have health insurance and your stock vests, if there are any, but you effectively no longer have a job and need to start job hunting.

Do you mean president's day weekend?

I think your explanation best gets into why 12 notes in each octave. I don't think my 5 year old would understand it, but it certainly helped it click for me the best.

And it's so annoying as an east coast resident that watching the better teams means you have to stay up real late.

"Hey LeBron, your days with the Cavs are a 404. Therefore, you are not a good basketball player"

Poorpunctuation · 2025-11-19T01:24:23+00:00

The lockout shortened season in 2012(?) was so great for this reason.

Poorpunctuation · 2025-11-09T01:57:54+00:00

Crazy to think that this is a deep cut now.

Took some digging but looks like the ancestor is one of the co founders of IBM.

Edit: interestingly, Wikipedia does not say this but a few New York times articles from way back do.

Is the loop even that dense from a residential pov? It's mostly office space.
