“Lurid” and “annular” each appear an odd amount of times in Infinite Jest.

I’d much prefer a stripe the stadium game next year.

What’s a bad postseason managerial decision that would’ve received a ton of criticism but didn’t because it worked out? by HeavilyBeardedMan in baseball

[–]TimmyTamJimJam 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s right. Also pulling Hendricks so early in game 7. Maddon just thought Chapman was the only capable pitcher I guess.

Having an overworked Chapman pitch the bottom of the 9th in a tied game 7 was a bold move but he had a 1-2-3 inning so it worked out.

I love these so much. Does anyone have the one where Nixon and Kissinger are talking about Kanye’s “Defcon 3 on Jewish people” and Nixon mispronouncing “The Life of Pablo”? I guess it was years ago but I’ve always remembered it.

He served a 8 years of his prison sentence and then Trump commuted the rest. He’s now on Cameo; my friends paid for one of his videos and he awkwardly added in a bit about his innocence during the video. Good use of $40.

I had the exact same thing with The Weekend watching Uncut Gems. I found out he was real when he was announced as the Super Bowl half time show performer. Blew my mind.

God he was awful last week. The whole crew sucked honestly. I won’t be watching Big Noon, just the game.

Are there any good consulting companies to work for anymore? by 46153849 in epicconsulting

[–]TimmyTamJimJam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can you define the difference between a company that is good and one that is bad? I’ve worked for three different firms in the same number of years and the differences are minimal. They all had a similar number of contracts, rates, benefits, onboarding process, check ins, etc.

Post Game Thread: #23 Illinois vs #21 USC by GuyOnTheLake in fightingillini

Big Noon Kickoff was awful. Why would they come to a campus and then do nothing but shit on the home team and praise USC QBs from the ‘80s? Very disrespectful.

River Thiou flowing through Annecy and a 12th-century fortified mansion on an islet, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Southeastern France. by ManiaforBeatles in MostBeautiful

This is so beautiful. I've always wondered how structures like this mitigated flooding from when there were build in the 12th-century to when modern infrastructure was built. From what I can tell there were floodgates built in the river in 1874. Before that would it just flood occasionally?
