yeah it's so weird. Off the court, in interviews and press conferences and stuff, he comes across as such a thoughtful and reflective person, especially about his own game and his limitations. But on the court, when things aren't going his way, major league asshole.

Yeah Rome and Barcelona had electronic calling this year. I don't get why the french open does not.

The alternative is that we see a lot more of players stepping on line umps' ankles. But I mean, what we really need is electronic line calling

Nah they're fine. That's to protect the line umpire (who was watching the serve). There absolutely needs to be something between the line ump and the player.
Gigante is standing as far back as he possibly can to return, he can't complain that he's hitting the furniture.

And also, vaccines that target diseases with low incidence - how is that going to work? Let's say there's a new vaccine for (terrible example) torn achilles tendons. Your placebo group would have to be ridiculously large.

I'm a huge fan of my "portable" bidet - it's called happypo I think. No installation required of course, just need to refill it with water. It's been life changing!

Or even - it continues to a best of seven only if it's not 3-0

Oh fuck, TIL I'm PMC

Great book. I unfortunately read it as the worst possible time (Feb 2020) :/

Unbelievable ratio

What did they do now?

Greatest pop album ever recorded.

I mean, it's clearly just a joke?

They're actually genuinely very good. Despite their terrible taste in vehicles.

Like, the content of the episode was great. I agree with almost everything you said. But "Prabhakar Raghavan" has six As, and you pronounce like five of them incorrectly. Like, if you're going to make an episode about someone, maybe run the pronunciation by an Indian person or something?

I just listened to this, and honestly something was extremely grating. All that research, but you couldn't put in the effort to learn how to pronounce the name of the guy the episode is about?I cringed every time you said Prabhakar Raghavan. Or Sundar Pichai? As a Brit, these are very pronounceable.

I've literally never baked a cookie without either eggs or butter.

Yup, actually *paying* nazis? Fuck that.

I deleted my Twitter account as soon I saw that. Done with that crap.
