As a Padres fan, I recognize the truth in what you say. But it doesn't change my belief that my team is well and truly cursed for reasons that are very difficult to discern.

Exactly. It's one thing to intercept the bad pass, another to loop it around the keeper and on target from that distance under pressure.

Although the Manhattan Institute has a long history of promoting things like Climate Change Denialism. So this seems more like a masks off moment than anything else.

My uncle used to say children are best seen but not heard. He was mostly joking. This is just the same bullshit, but with computers. And she's not even slightly joking.

I'm fortunate to have one that allows me to do it. I get that puts me in a tiny minority. I buy other instructional materials like Galilean telescope kits, that I take those back at the end of the semester. But books are for them to keep.
