I son’t think it affects the cap hit. I just wanted Haslem to have to foot the entire bill himself for this debacle.

My only regret is that insurance will pick up the tab and it’s not coming out of Haslem’s pocket.

What did you think of his appearance?

The board will pay over $15,000 to resolve the suit. That includes $14,845 in attorneys’ fees and costs to FFRF and cooperating counsel. The board will also pay one dollar for nominal damages to The Satanic Temple and $196.71 for various fees previously paid by the Temple in connection with rental reservations that had not yet been refunded.

Further, the Shelby County Board of Education has agreed not to discriminate against the organization with regard to its requests to rent and use school board property at Chimneyrock Elementary School; the Temple will be subject to the same rules and requirements as other nonprofit organizations seeking to rent or use the school’s facilities. In addition, the school board’s administration has promised not to hold any press conference with regard to the Temple’s lawful rental or use of school property.

Interesting. I think there’s at least two precedents that intersect the sporting world, with Michael [B.] Jordan and Stephen [A.] Smith.

I thought I remember reading that (at least in those cases) that it was because of SAG rules that two members can’t use the same “professional” name.

Is there a place where we can see total team grades, or is it just broken down by category?

On the NFLPA site, you have to drill into each team for some stupid reason.

This page has all the teams listed in order.

My favorite part was how Lurie saw last year’s shortcomings and addressed them.

Go Birds!

I’d be A-OK with more Oglaf – thanks for posting this!

Folks should be aware that it can run NSFW at times.

But perhaps the wildest example of this trend is Baby’s Day Out, the 1994 comedy in which Joe Mantegna tries to kidnap an infant, with near-fatal results.

That’s because the US enacted a law called the Wolf Amendment in 2011, which prevents NASA from using government funds to cooperate directly with China.

Wolf Amendment

States can establish religions. Federal government can’t.

Over the last 150 years, the Supreme Court has pretty consistently found that the Bill of Rights applies to state as well as federal government: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incorporation_of_the_Bill_of_Rights

See especially https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everson_v._Board_of_Education:

Everson v. Board of Education … was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court that applied the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to state law.

Automating anything blindly carries the risk of unending buckets of water or a universe of paperclips.

Nutty – I was just chewing on that similarity myself.

The CAD program with one level of Undo, an unreliable Revert option, and active hostility toward incremental saves.

I don’t know the first thing about CAD, but lmao.

Respectfully, Defector is about the furthest thing from a spam blog that you’ll find on the internet, my dude/lady.

It was formed a few years back by writers fleeing the sinking ship that was Deadspin.

I’d encourage you to check out some of their other articles and judge for yourself.

Yes.

Hi there! I’m you. My first computer was a TRS-80 in the early 80s, and my daily driver today is Debian (a flavor of Linux). I’m not an IT person, but I’ve had some skin in the game for a while.

You won’t need to purchase a thing unless you have some weird/old hardware where drivers will be a challenge.

There are a million flavors (“distros”) of Linux. The most straightforward ones to start with are probably Ubuntu and Mint.

Most Linux distros have a “live CD” version that you can “install” on a thumb drive. That allows you to take the entire OS for a test spin without changing anything on your “main” computer.

I’ve been beating this drum for years, but Autoduel as a MMORPG.

d’oh, thanks op.
