I son’t think it affects the cap hit. I just wanted Haslem to have to foot the entire bill himself for this debacle.

My only regret is that insurance will pick up the tab and it’s not coming out of Haslem’s pocket.

Nice one.

Interesting. I think there’s at least two precedents that intersect the sporting world, with Michael [B.] Jordan and Stephen [A.] Smith.

I thought I remember reading that (at least in those cases) that it was because of SAG rules that two members can’t use the same “professional” name.

Is there a place where we can see total team grades, or is it just broken down by category?

On the NFLPA site, you have to drill into each team for some stupid reason.

This page has all the teams listed in order.

My favorite part was how Lurie saw last year’s shortcomings and addressed them.

Go Birds!

But perhaps the wildest example of this trend is Baby’s Day Out, the 1994 comedy in which Joe Mantegna tries to kidnap an infant, with near-fatal results.

That’s because the US enacted a law called the Wolf Amendment in 2011, which prevents NASA from using government funds to cooperate directly with China.

What’s with 7942 being lit up like the North Star?

Only thing I can think of is that The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was published in 1979.

States can establish religions. Federal government can’t.

Over the last 150 years, the Supreme Court has pretty consistently found that the Bill of Rights applies to state as well as federal government: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incorporation_of_the_Bill_of_Rights

See especially https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everson_v._Board_of_Education:

Everson v. Board of Education … was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court that applied the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to state law.

Automating anything blindly carries the risk of unending buckets of water or a universe of paperclips.

Nutty – I was just chewing on that similarity myself.

Definitely!

That’s just “El Reg’s” style; they’ve been that way for years. Don’t let their pseudoinformality fool you, though, they know their stuff.

The CAD program with one level of Undo, an unreliable Revert option, and active hostility toward incremental saves.

I don’t know the first thing about CAD, but lmao.

Yes.

Hi there! I’m you. My first computer was a TRS-80 in the early 80s, and my daily driver today is Debian (a flavor of Linux). I’m not an IT person, but I’ve had some skin in the game for a while.

You won’t need to purchase a thing unless you have some weird/old hardware where drivers will be a challenge.

There are a million flavors (“distros”) of Linux. The most straightforward ones to start with are probably Ubuntu and Mint.

Most Linux distros have a “live CD” version that you can “install” on a thumb drive. That allows you to take the entire OS for a test spin without changing anything on your “main” computer.

d’oh, thanks op.

Nay.

My beliefs aren"t so fragile that they’re threatened by opposing viewpoints, even those that may not be put forth in good faith.

And I can simply block (the relatively small (?) proportion of) users that don’t engage in good faith.

The legend of scarabic lives on.
