You complain about mainstream labels but blackpink is literally the 2nd most popular band behind BTS

Zaide, if someone was to rank hockey players qualitatively based on the eye test and make it into a numerical metric would you approve or disapprove of the statistical methodology? And how valid would this analytic if you could even call it that be?

it would be no different than the objective validity of song ratings

That is a good point !!

But which is more reliable, the qualitative stat from the people arbitrarily grading them or the statistics of Puck play such as corsi and your other advanced stats you love!

Felt like I hit every red light on my way to work.

Fair enough if there's traffic, I can't stand when a light is constantly cycling and I have to sit at a red light while no other traffic goes through the intersection

A few years ago, I went through and reported all the broken red lights I go through on my commute.

Took a while, but they eventually got fixed

Oh, this looks like a good laptop, the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex.

But it has.... Amazon Alexa built in?

Who am I kidding, I don't need a new laptop.

My tablet/laptop hybrid just sucks to use anywhere but sitting at a table

Highest scorers for the last 3 weeks of football, quarterbacks excluded.

Rank 3 - Alvin Kamara - 84 points
Rank 9 - David Montgomery - 67.8 points
Rank 10 - Derrick Henry - 67.2 points
Rank 13 - Stefon Diggs - 66.2 points
Rank 15 - Johnathan Taylor - 63.4 points
Rank 21 - Joe Mixon - 58.4 points
Rank 25 - Devante Adams - 53.9 points

So Diggs basically put up RB1 numbers for the fantasy playoffs. Neat

While it's funny to see people be wildly wrong in their sports predictions, I don't like OldTakesExposed on Twitter, as their followers literally go and harass anyone that gets retweeted.

It would be fine if they only called out dickheads like Francesa and Cowherd, but it's usually just some random person that gets shit on for making a harmless prediction.

Francesa is not a dick.

Who still goes into an indoor office during a pandemic? Like, how would that work?
