Girl on the right probably killed a Spanish swordsmith back in the day.

There’s also the very nerdy Shakespeare version of the same sentiment: “when troubles come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.”

In English, over time, “I could care less” has come to have the exact same meaning as “I couldn’t care less.”

Some people get wrapped around an axle (i.e. irrationally angry) about it, but i just mentally fill in some context myself: “I could care less… i suppose… if i really tried… but that’s not going to happen.”

There’s no governing body for English. If you communicate the meaning and social cues that you intended, then it’s “right.” Of course, communicating social cues is sometimes where you can get in trouble using newer linguistic constructions.

When you're trying to get into DPs, the outside can be slippery and the screw part can be tight! Very dangerous for the workplace.

I thought I had NSFW turned off... 🤣

But that's not a good joke, IMHO. It strains credulity even in the context of a comic strip and is so counterintuitive and unrelatable that no one here was in the cartoonist's head space.

Are we allowed to politely disagree and move on??!! I am happy to go into my thoughts as to why ROTS can't overcome its shortcomings, but a lot of comes down to what hit me as a kid watching the OT and how the PT was such a drastic departure. Certain of those choices were rolled back in the ST, so I'm fonder of it than most, though I've been holding a torch for TLJ so long...

My very first "design" was cord wrangler that fit the exact number of things I needed to charge and was the exact thickness for my no-name pressboard nightstand with a gap that matched an opening in the back. It was exactly what I needed.

Why yes, I was an English major...

Imagine thinking 3 is worse than whatever fucking mess phantom menace was.

Want to know why Qui Gon dies from a stab when no one else ever does? The man was fucking exhausted from carrying the entire film. Liam Neeson single-handedly elevates TPM above the other two prequels.

7 was 4 but worse.

You’re not wrong, but four was that good

TLJ is flawed but great and would be higher if TROS weren’t such a cowardly backtracking shitshow of a movie.

ROTS is very nearly as hard to watch as AOTC, though it has some higher highs. I will personally never forgive it for forcing the most brain-twisting mental gymnastics ever to retcon ROTJ’s Luke-Leia “real mother” scene in the Ewok village.

Everything that’s annoying about AOTC is there in spades in ROTS.

ROTS just had few better parts.

 

As more and more details come out, it's becoming very clear how Michigan had a very elaborate process to steal other team's signals during the season. Lucky ...

More mid-week ~~SEC~~ B1G shorts, y'all!

 

Yup.

 

A rumor recently dropped surrounding the status of USC’s star quarterback and head coach. Are we talking about Caleb Williams and Lincoln Riley … together? “In NFL coaching circles, the talk is that Lincoln Riley is putting out feelers about taking a job in the NFL next season …” Scott Wolf wrote for Inside USC. “The word is Riley would be open...

Alex Grinch, NFL defensive coordinator?

 

TL;DR:

  1. Shedeur
  2. Sam Hartman
  3. DJU
  4. Mikey Keene at Fresno
  5. Mertz

Last: Jeff Sims at NU

 

Darth Mizz grows stronger after an impressive comeback, Georgia is out for turf and fresh ankles, Tennessee has beef with Danielson, and Florida is...not terrible?

 

After releasing a video that features a gay love story, the Appalachian musician watched many fans question whether he truly represents the region. But Tyler Childers’ new album, Rustin’ in the Rain, only underscores his rural roots — and his commitment to contributing to the “good fight.”

 

RB Trevor Etienne and LT Austin Barber. who sat out against Vanderbilt, are set to return for UF football's next game at South Carolina

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE IF IT WILL MATTER. Seriously you guys, this Florida team is very confusing.

 

Duke’s opening-week rout of then-No. 9 Clemson served notice that the Atlantic Coast Conference wouldn’t necessarily fall in line behind the perennial powerhouse Tigers.

But this week? Orange team good! (please!)

 

Quentin Lebastard of Bastard Keyboards, designer of the Charybdis and Dilemma, talks about himself and his designs on the occasion of the upcoming release of the Dilemma Max.

No connection. I neither own nor have any particular interest in owning a Bastard keyboard, though I can admire them, but I thought the interview and behind the scenes peeks into a hobby-turned-business were interesting.

 

What if the Pac-12 and Mountain West changed the way college conferences operate by borrowing an idea from European soccer leagues?

 

“HE DOESN’T EVEN GO HERE!”

 

'60 Minutes' made a rare decision to interview Coach Prime twice in a single season of the oldest and most-watched newsmagazine on TV.

I continue being torn between appreciating that Deion strips much of the traditional BS out of college football and being annoyed that he then spackles on his own personal layer of different BS.
