Italy did annex Split in 1943, but it didn't take.

Yeah, unless they're sneaking past in the shoulder or something, they're the ones doing it right.

Are "zipper merges" well known where y'all live? Around here, I'm the only one obsessive and nerdy enough to know about such things.

Another entry in the “voters are morons” file. Ten percent intend to vote for Sherrod Brown and Trump?

Steve of phpBB

Yeah, I sure hope J-lo then doesn't get pissed at the people that are actually navigating the situation properly with the zipper merge. People that get all road rage'y about people merging at the zipper point are maddening. You are actually exacerbating the problem by getting over so early. Yep. Tr...

but no one is going to care about the women's olympic basketball team. I get your point, but I'd venture that women's basketball is becoming more popular and more people care than ever before (even if it still isn't a hell of a lot of people, relative to other big sports.) Yeah, if we take the NCAA...

To me, the only problem with Yeti is that it's ragingly stupid.

Might as well call them the Mighty Ducks.

But from a straight marketing aspect, maybe quiet down all the negative talk about her... What, exactly, is CC doing wrong? It's all these NEW fans that are pissing off... what, hardcore WNBA fans? Who fucking cares. It was a barely profitable business 3 months ago. The only way to honestly assess ...

I’d vote for Johnny Utah over any of the remaining choices.

I guess I favor Outlaws. Then maybe Blizzard. But it’s a sad set of choices.

Steve of phpBB

The Outlaws on Amazon Prime (3rd season out now) is a decent watch. British comedy. Stephen Merchant and Christopher Walken are folks us yanks recognize. I am sure the others are known. Also random cameo from one of the soccer players from Ted Lasso We really liked it, but you do have to tolerate w...

What an utterly fucked-up relationship the two of them must have. Although I would guess her crazy really comes out in the sack, and that why he stays. Someone else in the thread said they were divorcing. Finally. Not sure why. They are grifting the shit out of both sides of the Republican spectrum...

I married my high school girlfriend. We go married when we were 26. Still quite young, but we knew that committing that fully (and legally) prior to that age was really problematic. Good luck to them, but their brains haven't fully wired... Way too young. This is the way. Everyone I knew who got ma...

Oldest had the prom for her hometown HS (she goes to a county HS) this evening. Tomorrow (and Saturday) are the state group championships (basically semi-finals) for track, so she brought her own dinner (pasta and bread) and she drank nothing but water, passing on waffle fries and Chinese/orange ch...

What does T20 mean? Means they only play 20 overs (think the equivalent to an inning in baseball — each team gets to bat 20 overs or put another way each time gets to hit 120 “pitches”). Thats not the cricket terminology but it helps to put it into baseball terms sometimes when you’re new to the ga...

"Stationed in France and captured on D-Day" has to be a ninety-ninth percentile outcome for a German soldier circa 1944, right?

Steve of phpBB

Technologically, I think there's been way more change since 1984 than from 1944-1984. But I think social change may have been greater during that first 40-year period. In 1944, segregation and Jim Crow were endemic. Women had limited opportunities for employment. Wives were subordinate to husbands, ...

Steve of phpBB

In light of Mr D's mention of midpoints the other day, 1984 is the midpoint between D-Day and today.

Is that because they are relevant to understand the Acolyte?

Or because they're the best shows?

Something happened to/with Biz Markie over the past week where he doesn't want to go in our backyard, is showing a much reduced desire for affection and is just generally skittish. He's deaf so he's always been a little prone to being surprised, but this is heightened. We can't point to a specific ...

Is the right comp here Kukoc? Fully resented by NBA players for the hype coming over, including by his own teammates, but opened a huge door* that drastically increased the player salary pool? I bet Barkley was cool with him in real time. * Unless I'm completely misremembering that he's the one who...

No, you’re not the only one. I assume it’s bullshit or trivial until proven otherwise.

So, we just replaced our old gas water heater with an electric heat pump. We have solar on our roof, so our electric bill is next to zero (only the flat admin fees), and now, the only things we use gas for is our stove and heating, which aren't much. The heat pump puts out cold air, so on the rare ...

RSL’s first half Saturday may have been the most fun I’ve ever had watching soccer in person. Four RSL goals, two near-goals, and all at the end of the field where I was sitting.

So, in effect, college athletes are on one-year contracts.
