  1. OK then. Proceed.
  2. Of all people whom I know, I'd think you'd be the most fascinated by it--you're an audio guy.
  3. Whatever, Yanny.
  4. We will be accused of "cultural appropriation," whatever that means. So no. Tables are our culture.
  5. In a hot second, absolutely. Get me a proven player instead of some prospect. Unless it's 1 or 2 overall, in which case, trade down and then do the same thing.
  6. Headphones or nothing for me. Earphones fall out and I can hear the other creatures on the airplane. The hooked earphones are good enough for the gym, I guess.
  7. text still (within the quote) is white on black. It's right there. Taro's post appears to me, on my screen, backwards. It is white on black rather than black on white. So I cannot read it because it screws with my eyes. In other words, it looks like this (screenshot of Taro's actual post from my actual computer) I can't read that. My eyes won't have it, unfortunately.
  8. I'm very OK with this for a second round pick. I do think he's going to "play some shifts" at OLB, and I'm fine with that, too. Glad that the team is finally at the point where it can draft for positional need rather than best player available. And very glad that it wasn't a running back. Let's see an OL or TE in the next round, I hope.
  9. OK. I've seen a couple of people quote Taro now, and the text still (within the quote) is white on black. Am I the only one having this problem?
  10. The text is white on black. I literally (in the old sense, not the trendy sense) cannot read it.
  11. I don't know what you did, but I can't possibly be expected to read that. It's blinding. Anyway. I'm not going to debate you, Jerry.
  12. That's what made me think of it. Even the hours by the end of Ramadan this year would be ridiculous.
  13. If they don't, there will be a really good reason why.
  14. Ok. Let's try it this way. I can look at fifty years' worth of data, including rosters, win/loss records, which coaches turned around which players, and playoff histories, and even the good ol' eye test, and come to an informed conclusion, based upon facts, that Lindy Ruff was the greatest coach in Sabres history. That remains an opinion. One well-grounded in facts, but an opinion. That's the author's so-called Fact 1. I can also look at fifty years' worth of the same data and come to an informed conclusion that Dominik Hasek was the greatest goaltender in Sabres history. That's a lot closer to knowing that the Sun will rise tomorrow, innit? Like it's as close to a proven theorem as it gets? (Sorry to bring hockey into this; mods feel free to move it to the hockey thread if you deem it necessary.) And then there's this too.
  15. So in the case of Iceland, where even the southernmost part of the country doesn't have nighttime, they would likely do the Mecca thing?
  16. The 5G tower conspiracy theory also is not comparable.
  17. Nah, the sun has "risen" for hundreds of thousands of years. We didn't even know the word "COVID" until two months ago or so.
  18. I've taken one cruise, last year, and I'll likely not do it again, but one thing they really, really stressed was to wash and sanitize hands frequently. Every time we embarked or disembarked, there was a crew member there with a bottle of Purell.
  19. The state reopened golf courses (including public) and marinas last week. Trying to get us used to fresh air again, maybe? I don't know what Ollie's is.
  20. A lot of Catholics relaxed themselves over Lent as things evolved. A lot of us figured, look, whatever it was that I was giving up for Lent, forget it. Right now, I'm giving *everything* up, so I'll just offer up that instead. Reasonable. Question: What does a Muslim in the extreme Northern Hemisphere do when Ramadan falls in the summer? When I visited Iceland, it was never dark and the sun merely dipped below the horizon for a minute or so. How and when do these people eat?
  21. You know, I'm just going to let you off the hook with this. I'm in a decent mood for the first time all week.
  22. What Miami did yesterday has the potential to completely flip the franchise by 2021 (by which time it will also have had another two first round picks and a bevy of seconds). Stud QB, stud OL, pretty good CB. They're going to grab a running back tonight, too. I am frightened.
  23. I know what you're trying to do here, but you whiffed on it!
