Yeah the first two series seemed like the right amount

Counterpoint: we saw a really cool low-slung garbage truck in Taipei and it was super annoying to have lost the option to describe it as "chopped"

They're good for reading to kids, for sure.

Pretty much!

I think that's the premise of the Percy Jackson sequel series

The fake toll invoice the rental car company sent as propaganda against congestion pricing got the email company’s AI to offer me a “Pay Bill” button on it

So many tech-world shenanigans revolve around treating explicit law as an unfortunate and obscure technicality

Nothing "technical" about secretly hitting record on someone else in a two-party consent state! That's just directly what the law says you can't do.

Well there's some unwarranted hedging in writing "which could technically put them at risk of violating state laws" instead of "which could violate state laws."

Right, the key here is "arbitrary." The Spelling Bee editors do not project any sort of deep competence in where or how they draw the lines.

I def. don’t think meaningfully many people are using l.c. “viking” to mean a generic “sea rover” (?) rather than a helmet-horned Norseman

Hm, then we run back instead into the question of why INANITION and MATIN don’t count

I'm too weary to even get mad once again about INANITION

Under what possible set of rules is VIKING playable but AMAZONIAN is not

The whole premise was always "Here's how the math says the franchise can get the best players if we assume that I, a professional basketball general manager, have no ability (or responsibility) to identify good players"

YEP

Perfect coda if they finally get a title with a true generational No. 1 lottery pick superstar who has already won titles for three different franchises that hired him on the open market

Trust the Process
