You're right, that is a weird structure. It makes sense for the signing team if they don't want to put the cash up front and aren't worried about immediate cap relief at the time of signing, but I would have expected that to depress Crosby's trade value somewhat for the reason you shared.

Did you each order the color the other preferred so that you can look upon shoes of the correct color?

Christ, this is grim.

As a group, we legitimately suck.

That "How many times have I already downloaded/burned/copied/found this thing for my parents?" experience is so universal.

I was just thinking about how wonderful it is to have a representative who I can count on to vote in line with my values at least 95% of the time. My senators...lol, not so much.

I feel like that person has been at every bad RPG table I've ever joined.

Wow, so they'll carry ID while they murder people in the street? Top notch work from the Senate Dems, as usual.

This firing absolutely SHOCKED me. I admittedly don't follow the Bills closely, but still...I dunno who they expect to get who they would be a clear improvement, you know?

I've been a Chiefs fan for like 40 years, and holy cow they sucked and were terrible to watch this season. That's part of the inevitable cycle of fandom, right? Sometimes your team is just bad.

I fucking hate Nazis.

Seriously. I'm a middle aged dude with decent but not earthshattering professional skills and no generational wealth. I don't exactly have an abundance of other countries lining up to invite me to live there. Also, yeah, my family and loved ones are here, and need my support.

Seconding the Tidal recommendation - I've heard of some folks having issues with the sound quality sometimes, but that's not been an issue for me. I don't have a sophisticated ear, to be honest, so that may legitimately be an issue, just not one that I'm capable of recognizing.

I'm trying to remember, probably 3 series with that setup? Probably the weakest stretch of the show for me. There were some very cool moments that came about because of those constraints, but overall they didn't quite land for me.

The unceasing commitment to their own lack of self-awareness is the closest thing to art that any of those losers will produce.

Does the phrase "first ever year" leave room for a second year, at some point? This project was a fantastically bright spot in one hell of a time. Regardless of what the future holds, I hope you realize just how amazing this work has been.

On the contrary, I believe that many of us give a *lot* of thought to the people who choose to carry out cruel and inhumane actions on behalf of a fascist regime. And I for one look forward to the time when those folks receive the attention they so richly deserve.

Yeah, it's brutal and this is very solid advice. My machine *can* run W11, but I will hold off until the last possible fucking moment for that "upgrade."

Tech shouldn't get worse and farther away from what users actually want at every possible turn. This timeline sucks.

I wonder if PP would feel familiar to people playing for the first time now, because it has been so influential on certain types of games since its release. Playing it in 2013 was like, revolutionary, though. I assume there were other games like it before, but I sure hadn't played them.

At first I was assuming that you had inadvertently helped someone cheat at a pub trivia night or something. This makes way more sense than the ridiculous narrative in my brain. :)

It's all available on YouTube (with ads, assuming you don't have a premium subscription). Probably via some other services as well, though I'm not sure which.

Season 7 was so good! The memory of Greg taking James aside after his outburst is still one of the funniest 90 seconds of television I can remember. You still have a lot of great casts ahead, too - I'm a bit envious of your opportunity to see them for the first time!

You're absolutely right. I expected it to be MUCH worse, especially once Wanya went down.

Remember early this season when it felt like the team had depth at OT? Those were good times.

This is lovely. Thank you so much!

Such a beautiful bit of art from @alwayscoffee.bsky.social.

I would love one, if you have time/energy/etc. They're always so lovely and such a delightful injection of beauty into the day.

Gods, this is exquisitely heartbreaking.

It's fine, he'll get some rest this week, right?

Oh. Oh, no.

I hope it's as delightfully dumb as it looks. To me, that's the perfect incarnation of "bad" entertainment.
