I have to hand it to them, it's an incredible bit to publicly lose a game of chicken, admit that's what happened, and then spend the next day lecturing everyone about courage and tenacity

This is where I think hockey can take something from soccer: specific names for the *ways* different people play what is nominally the same position. See, e.g., trequartista / enganche, destroyer, pivot, anchor, shuttler.
The more important "cultural" aspect, though, is that we need a broader and more varied set of "types" to be able to talk sensibly about the players we've actually got in the league. Naming things is hard, though - "transition defender"? "blueline machine"? "ice tilter"? Something like that.

Teaching friends, advice please? I have this calculus student who fancies himself a hotshot. During group work at whiteboards he often takes charge, assumes a teacher role, and lectures other students. Other students have told me that they find this condescending and don't want to work with him. 1/

Anyway I think one reason I'm not that mad at these guys is we already knew they were the wrong people for this moment. A party trying to carry on with business as usual in the face of autocracy won't survive. They're sitting in a burning house and commissioning polls on how popular the fire is
If you think the president is a tyrant and you're running for office to oppose him the only platform you can have is "Give us enough votes to impeach and remove this menace." Otherwise what's the point of electing you?

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Retire bitch
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Watson and Crick? More like Watson's a pri-- *a tomato flies from the audience and splats humorously across my entire head*
Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Making fries or hash browns out of it. Potatoes are born to be fried.
What do you think is the best way to cook a potato? I think it's a jacket, but roast is also good.
