That's fairly typical of the early end of semis--judges put the first corps a bit lower to leave room. I would fully expect BK to have a lower score tomorrow even with the exact same performance and panel just due to numbers management.

This is what finally confirmed it in my head that Haaland was this year's version of James Rodriguez.

US men's hockey was starting from a more competitive point relative to the rest of the world than US men's soccer, I think? Less ground to make up. (As someone who isn't an expert in either.)

Does the model you're using take into account performance through the WC (updating underlying team quality, etc.), or is it just working off pre-WC ratings and running through the grid?

In case you are asking seriously: They're going through, but didn't win their group. So they have to play their next match in LA (against South Africa) on the 28th, rather than staying in Vancouver and not playing until the 2nd.

Not only is it possible, it's literally what he did in the last WC.

I was on an observing run at Apache Point Observatory when they took a break from our observations to do a run with APOLLO (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_...). Went outside to watch. It is the most I have ever felt like a Bond villain.

Reasonable argument for Saving Private Ryan over Shakespeare in Love, or LA Confidential over Titanic.

Please. This is what WordPerfect is for. (Like, exactly this; my lawyer mother has been mad that Word won over WordPerfect and its 'reveal-all-formatting-codes' toggle for thirty years now.)

IIRC there's a not-unfounded concern that teams would fake injuries to get bonus timeouts (has actually happened at the collegiate level at least once that I can think of). Though in this case I think bringing the cart out indicates it's probably not faked.

Which can be seen in Trek itself--look at Roddenberry-heavy earlier TNG (the robot fucks, the captain wears skirts, Riker's everything) vs Berman-run later TNG/DS9/Voyager (women kiss for ratings but it's not *really* women kissing, closeted Garak, Profit and Lace).

Sometimes both of those last two things.

I've had good success with this before, adapting to a 16-oz box of pasta. www.rabbitandwolves.com/vegan-one-po... Basically a vegan Alfredo. If you don't feel like sauteing them I've gotten similar results by roasting the Brussels on high heat in the oven and then mixing them in.

First vehicle for me was a '91 Previa that was as old as me and had belonged to my grandfather, who had a backup beeper installed after-market. Took it to college, became designated people-hauler for my friend group, and graduated just in time for it to be my sister's first vehicle.

Serious answer: That I believe would fall under academic Rice. Academic Rice is basically the same as it was then; this is the third difference version of the athletic owl since I matriculated. Also that's a really fun project.

Really enjoy this one: www.gimmesomeoven.com/chicken-broc... usually with thighs instead of breasts. Works just as well with super firm tofu instead of chicken; also works reasonably well with green beans instead of broccoli.
