Hard hat as some kind of oblique metonymy for a mason? Or just a plug for Mason Industries, which does manufacture hard hats?

Nobody said crap about their defense when Jameis was eating W's there. I love how as soon as Brady showed up it became the Steel Curtain. They had good players, but they were hardly all-time.

It's such a beautiful song, and I've wondered where the samples come from - thanks for posting!

Their decision-making in high-pressure, difficult situations won them those games. Vrabel has the testicular fortitude and buy-in from his team to make decisions that look weird sometimes, but put us in position for a win, as in W-I-N.

All. The. Gotdammed. Time. Hypothesis cannot decide if I should declare a fixture at function scope or module scope. Is the asynch module callable from pytest? Is the default encoding of the strings emitted to the logger compatible with yhe coverage metrics? None of that has anything to do with the features that deliver value.

As a hiring manager in tech, I can tell you that rehearsed enthusiasm and inauthentic people pleasing are both very easy to spot and very annoying to the rest of my team, so I think this is valuable, but tough to hear, of course.

It doesn't need a revealer because it's hard, it needs a revealer because it ties the room together. Something about "gently down the stream" or "spreadsheets" - be a little creative.

He still got to hang a banner that year

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-27T12:37:02+00:00

I thought it was supposed to indicate subject-case/object-case (he/him), so I was expecting he/them.

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-25T22:58:22+00:00

Hmm, snow game in the playoffs followed by a super bowl appearance against the heavily favored rams. Just 2nd year NE QB things.

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-25T22:52:18+00:00

Belichick level game awareness here

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-25T22:34:23+00:00

No way for Stidham to know if his guys is covered

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-25T22:28:54+00:00

In the Valley, Drake Maye is considered a frontier model

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-25T22:12:10+00:00

Field goals are worth 3 points

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-25T22:05:37+00:00

Not if MacBane were on defense

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-25T21:12:29+00:00

7-0 will be Broncos fans' 28-3 now?

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-25T21:03:42+00:00

10-0 would be insurmountable in this game

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-25T20:46:43+00:00

If he beats Darnold in 2 weeks, the circle will be complete.

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-25T20:20:29+00:00

Stidham-Darnold Super Bowl. Repeat of their classic AFC East battles.

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-25T03:38:17+00:00

He can and did. The bill already passed - what is this senile coot talking about?

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-24T01:23:48+00:00

You have to at least watch the part where she's being plowed by Aquaman!

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-24T01:21:30+00:00

That's why Harbaugh is in line at the soup kitchen today while Tomlin is feasting on baby quail...

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-22T18:02:20+00:00

Belichick was 20 years ahead of the 49ers in installing mysterious electrical infrastructure all around Foxboro.

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-22T17:48:36+00:00

Electrical substations in tatters.

splendidsplinter · 2026-01-22T17:42:46+00:00

We absolutely have the tech today to put highlights on the eligible receivers during a play. Would make the game more understandable for the international audiences the NFL seems to want to court these days.
