Everyone shaking their head or laughing at this video has been tempted to do this on multiple occasions! Be honest! 😂

The stupidest part of this is going to be a coworker saying "oh, you still think Ben Johnson isn't gonna work out".

Yes, he totally called a fourth down play where Caleb sprints back 25 yards and heaves a prayer to the end zone.

This Bears team is one giant horseshoe up the ass.

Decided to take the kids to this game. They had lots of questions about hockey. 😂 Had a little bit of everything (I’ve never seen a player get ejected before the puck dropped for a face-off!), but I do hope that Ivankovic is OK. Such a bush league play. 🤬

Interesting study of the effectiveness of randomized incentives!

The Review of Economic Studies (REStud) @reveconstudies.bsky.social · 17d

"Survey incentives can worsen bias! Randomized incentives help detect & account for nonresponse bias. Methods using both incentives & reminders outperform existing approaches."

Can someone explain to me, like I’m a first grader, WTH the point is of declaring that you are entering the transfer portal when you simply decide to return less than a week later? Is that really enough time to see what your market value is? Just seems nutty and pointless. 🤷🏻‍♂️
