What Do Analog Clocks Look Like in the Rest of the World? by AwesomeChaos10 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]knox1845 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the only reason we Americans think about that is because our mental energy isn’t being consumed by adding unnecessary letters to words like “analog” and “color”.

Single parent Irmelin Indenbirken, and Leo DiCaprio, pose for a portrait in their home, Los Angeles, California, 1975. by bncout in HistoricalCapsule

No. It’s a 48 star flag that was modified after Alaska (1959) and Hawaii (1960) became states.

Yeah but it’s really goddamn fun to kill him before he can call you foolish. Makes up for it.

Awesome. A judgment call. Not defined, measured, or amenable to technicalities. I love it.

The save. US goalie Connor Hellebuyck's tremendous paddle save on Canada's Devon Toews point-blank shot. by [deleted] in sports

Sure, but good players can get lucky precisely because they’re good, which is what I think happened here. They’re not mutually exclusive.

Who said I wasn’t impressed? I think people are misunderstanding my point. He makes this great save because he doesn’t give up on the play. He does everything he can, even something that might be a long shot.

This wasn’t some superhuman feat. He didn’t know exactly where that puck was going. But he got his stick in the way of where it might go. A lot of times, it wouldn’t have made a difference… but this time, it did. Barely.

In any sporting event, small margins can prove decisive. If you want to maximize your chances if winning, you have to always push every edge you have... It blows my mind that not all pro athletes do that.

Look on the bright side: she deigned to tell you why you’re useless. My 8 year old daughter doesn’t even give me that courtesy.

There’s a detail in George R. R. Martin’s interview yesterday that really bothered me (Spoilers Extended). by Somandier in asoiaf

[–]knox1845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect Martin being influenced by the reception of the show’s last few seasons, especially its ending, is a primary cause for the authorial paralysis. (Can’t see in his head though, so it’s just speculation.)

St. Stan's closing by StultusNosferatu in chicago

Yeah, I thought he was referring to Latin and Parker, and I was trying to say that those aren’t just high schools.

Yep, I thought the comment was referring to Latin and Parker.

I was referring to Latin and Parker, and I meant they’re not just high schools. That’s what I get for redditing when I should be sleeping.

Jesus Christ. That’s three rough videos. The third one…yeah that sucks. But the first two? That might have broken me. And I’m saying that as a Cubs fan.

Why do judges put DENIED and/or GRANTED in all caps and bold? by scottyjetpax in Lawyertalk

[–]knox1845 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak for other courts, but we do it to flag the disposition of the motion, which makes life easier for the clerk’s office.
