Statewide reform is the way (to prevent local NIMBYism)

Relocating the team to…San Diego, San Antonio, OKC, Saint Louis? might get you the stadium you want but you’d immediately lose several billion in team worth so that’s not a serious idea.

Fundamental issue is that the McCaskeys are team rich but cash poor (relative to the average nfl owner) and neither Chicago or any burb is interested in giving them the kind of free handout they need to build a new stadium.

LA didn’t have a team for a couple decades so it’s theoretically possible but the Bears are trying to run the scare tactics that might work in Jacksonville or Buffalo and wondering why no one takes them seriously.

Cuomo doesn't even have a track record as being good at his job!

There's a big sample size and it's totally mediocre.

The absolute best players in the world are successful 30% of the time = a pretty random sport for any given game.

Anyways total bummer because he was one of the artists I was most excited to see and the show was mostly a mess.

Adams is firmly in the Conor Oberst category where maybe you get a good night but you shouldn’t be expecting something different. And that doesn’t even get into Ryan Adams the person.

Saw him in 2006 at Lollapalooza and was unsure if he was drunk early in the day or just usually that unfocused and discursive.

This review is pretty close to my memory

Anyways, this is definitely data but outside a handful of folks this isn't particularly helpful and it's certainly less useful information than the kinds of tests people get for recurrent kidney stone formation like a 24-hour urine.

And your urinary pH could be helpful if you're a specific type of kidney stone former but again probably not that helpful for the general population.

Vitamin C (or citrate) can be good for preventing kidney stones but it's also water soluble so just taking large PO doses throws that off.

Ketones are only meaningful if you didn't already have a diagnosis of diabetes but otherwise congrats on your low carb diet.

You can pretty accurately determine your hydration status by looking at the color of your piss. You don't need a smartapp to do that.

Hi. Board Certified Urologist here.

None of these things are particularly important or predictive of any of the things we might care about.

Celebrini has been a bit more impressive out of the gate but the floor for a healthy Bedard is like John Tavares and not like Nail Yakupov.

Look all relief pitching is suspectable to small sample size theatre but rolling a 37 yo with a 1.838 WHIP and -0.6 WAR in the regular season is a guy who is entirely washed until proven otherwise.

They should get Werner Herzog to do the promo intro for the World Series.
