How many people even recognize the Eddie Haskell reference? I guess scouts are mostly old.

Proud to say that I write for that infamous woke organization, SB Nation. Maybe we can rise to first place in next year’s rankings. πŸ˜‚

Congratulations…I guess. Can’t help but feel like I’m welcoming a passenger to the Titanic. (But seriously, congratulations!)

Problem is, anything that currently can be directly imaged is far too big to be a habitable planet. Habitable planet candidates will continue to be discovered only by indirect means…and thus more uncertain. Still, these exo-giants are indeed cool.

Look back at the hearings for the current Supreme Court majority that pre-date these. They set the standard-say what you need to, then do what you want.

Bill Belichick will, however, be making the AFC Pro Bowl roster as a quarterback.

Discovery Alert: An Ice-Cold Earth? - NASA Science A candidate planet that might be remarkably similar to Earth, HD 137010 b, has one potentially big difference: It could be colder than perpetually frozen Mars.

JPL's press release calls this planet a "cold Earth" because it orbits right at the icy edge of its habiable zone.

I didn't go with that framing because we literally only know this guy's radius and rough orbital period.

And with the right (wrong?) atmosphere it could still actually be Venus-hot.

Very exciting to get a K dwarf HZ discovery. Could conceivably be like past snowball periods in Earth history, or with enough CO2, even warmer.

Apparently to voters, 1 Spygate + 1 Deflategate > 6 rings (+ the D he designed to beat BUF for NYG in that 1990 season SB). The math may change next year.

I feel bad for Daboll if he gets the HC job.

Aside from his politics, just having 100 million people look like Stephen Miller scares the hell out of me.

The rate of global sea level rise doubled during the past three decades - Communications Earth & Environment Global mean sea level rise amounted to 4.5 mm per year as a result of warming oceans and melting land ice, more than twice the rate of 2.1 mm/year observed at the start of satellite data in 1993, base...

The rate of global mean sea level rise has increased from ~2.1 mm/year in 1993 to ~4.5 mm/year in 2023. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

This was 1,620,000 kmΒ² below the 1981-2010 average. December ice extent is decreasing at about 3.5% per decade. Data: @nsidc.bsky.social at nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

This doesn't bother me if the charity is effective under her leadership (it is). The US shouldn't deny people with talent the ability to make money. It should only be seeing to it that such people pay a fair amount of tax. For comparison, the 257th (last) NFL draft pick makes $865,369 this year.

πŸ‘‰ It's Week 12, let's look at some data...

Pressure vs. Sacks:

In an ironic twist of fate, the Falcons now have a pass rush...

BUT, they rank 18th in EPA/pass & 17th in Success Rate.

They are elite in man coverage (4th in EPA), but not so much in Zone (26th).
