It has to stand.
It has to work.
It has to function.
This is the science of architecture.

It has to comfort.
It has to delight.
It has to inspire.
This is the art of architecture.

Is she still relevant?

Quelle surprise.

The problem with this argument is that it uses facts.

Top 5 in the #AFC after Week 6 in the #NFL:

1. Indianapolis Colts
2. Buffalo Bills
3. Jacksonville Jaguars
4. Los Angeles Chargers
5. Kansas City Chiefs

No change here either. Colts will have a real test next week that will determine if they drop and by how much.

Top 5 after the second Week 5 for the #AFC in the #NFL:

1. Indianapolis Colts
2. Buffalo Bills
3. Jacksonville Jaguars
4. Los Angeles Chargers
5. Kansas City Chiefs

The Pats are going to look good against a really weak schedule, but that won't put them on the list.

Ravens looked like a 1-3 team today and that took them off the list. And I'm still not sold on the Steelers.

Eagles look like a team I doubt but can still believe in. 49ers look like I team I doubt and can understand why.

Packers losing to the Browns is understandable. A tie with the Cowboys is inexcusable. And the Seahawks look for real.

Not only that, I still remember them.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

What a stupid comparison.

Just like Biden didn't do anything to preempt Trump, I wouldn't count on Obama to push any envelope.

That's an offensive play design problem for the Lions.

I think there is, in a healthy economy, a lot more room for the speaker+light industry to innovate and to grow the consumer market. The old adage is that specialized equipment will always perform better, and that won't change with this, but you can still make a cool consumer product out of it.

There is absolutely no point to sports interviews. All the questions are the same and all the answers are the same. No new information is ever revealed from any sports interview ever. Why do we continue to indulge this useless behavior?

The problem with devout hypocrites is calling them hypocrites is like water off a duck's back. I suggest we just call them ducks.

Randy has reading comprehension issues, along with the racism.

We're gonna have to prosecute them all. It'll be tough to know who to bring in. We'll just have to incarcerate every white guy with a southern accent. And any white guy who wears camo. And any white guy who is into crypto. And any white guy who is into AI. And...

Fascinated how the guy who made superstars of Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Jordan Peterson, and Michael Knowles thought that unfettered racism and every phobia in existence wouldn't eventually include anti-semitism

Having bad opinions is not a badge of honor. You can tell because you follow this with preemptively disparaging those you know will disagree with you. This is like painting a trip hazard bright yellow. It doesn't eliminate the hazard and just calls attention to the fact that you know it's a hazard.

Vance: Ignorance is always my excuse.

The premise here is that the architect has no vision for the design. The program didn't reveal any organizing concept for the facade. And a suitable alternative is to see the architectural expression as merely the superficial application of a random idea picked from an array of random ideas.
