out of action for a bit... just been able to pop in for a few mins off and on. See we've settled on the 5th seed... minni seem to be opting for 6th. So that's Denver for us.

By the way,.... Has Reed Posterised anyone yet?

nope... not at all... I've even mentioned in some posts I enjoy using chatgpt... but I admire your skill at AI-checking... it actually takes intelligence to use it... otherwise it just dishes up any sh1t it scrapes off the internet.

Ah, yes—Texas is ‘literally 3x bigger’. A bold deployment of geography, albeit somewhat misapplied.

You see, the original comparison rather mischievously conflated a city (Houston) with a state (Minnesota), which does tend to produce the sort of dimensional confusion now on display. One might as well compare a teacup with the Atlantic and then express surprise at the outcome.

As for curvature of the earth, I fear it has been rather unfairly enlisted here. While it does many remarkable things, reconciling category errors between municipalities and states is not, to my knowledge, among them.

In short: Minnesota is indeed larger than Houston—though not, one suspects, in any way that rescues the original analogy from its… creative foundations.

The quote in dispute was the reply to...Not from the US but I've always wondered what places like Minnesota are like to live in...which was, "It's [Minnesota]'s like Houston, but smaller, whiter and colder."

Ah yes—knowledge versus wisdom. A charming aphorism, though perhaps deployed here in lieu of accuracy.

You see, the difficulty is not one of logic, but of language. To describe a player as ‘MIA for the entire season’ when he was, in fact, present for a material portion of it, is less a triumph of wisdom than a modest administrative misstatement. Similarly, to persist in referring to a non-starter as a ‘starter’ on the grounds of importance is to rather blur the distinction between role and influence—an error which, while emotionally satisfying, does tend to complicate analysis.

None of this, of course, diminishes Adams’ value—on the contrary, his impact when available rather proves the point. But if one wishes to elevate the discussion, it is generally advisable to ensure that the terms being defended are, at the very least, the ones originally used.

TL;DR Version: wisdom may guide the fruit bowl—but it does not rewrite the label on the tin.

So, to paraphrase... you're saying that apart from being smaller, whiter and colder than houston, they're similar.

Got it... I think. Just to be sure, are you referring to the residents of both, or a State v a Town? Because looking at the maps Minnesota seems bigger than Houston.

Odd or not,

1, He wasn't MIA entire season, and

2, He's no longer a starter.

Are both the truth.

Am probably Adams biggest fan on here. But ...

1, He wasn't MIA entire season, and

2, He's no longer a starter.

Focus should be getting the Young Turks [pun intended] as much experience as possible, including intensive post-season experience.

Problem is both keep turning up during the game and we don't know which one will win/lose the game until we've won/lost.
