Put another, I think more accurate way: hindsight is always 20/20.

Very often, the thing that seemed impossible that suddenly wasn't anymore looks "obvious" when looking back at the completed solution.


Where do you live where vehicular manslaughter is not being prosecuted?


It often isn't charged when a driver is sober.

American that was alive and adulting in the 90s checking in: no, they wouldn't have. Even after 2001.


Then you decide if the positives outweigh the negatives and unfollow them or not.

This particular situation is why the only thing I miss from Twitter at this point is the ability to mute an account's reposts rather than the full account.


Getting onto the allowed vendor list for the US Government is a dire process even for the largest of global service companies, by design by the folks already on the list.

I was able to work as an individual as a subcontractor for a subcontractor for a company on the list. Rates aren't as high, but with federal regulations (for now) mandating that subcontractors be paid as soon as the primary contract holder was paid meant that there was 0 chasing after invoices which is actually very nice.

I'm sure there have been bat changes all along the way, and if the Yankees hadn't scored 20 runs that day we wouldn't be reading about this either.


Remind him that he needs to turn in his interlocking NY for an interlocking LA.


The concept is out there -- different players would have different tendencies that would require slightly different adjustments.

This will make the team owners either do their own analysis, or come up with yet more excuses to hide the fact that while they could afford it, they won't.


This supports the inverse square rule for seafood restaurant quality vs. being near the ocean. There are good places, but right on the water? Universally bad.


I wouldn't say universally bad. I live in Seattle, and there are some restaurants on the water that I like.

The way I think about it is this: the restaurant has to pay for the real estate, and that cost must get factored in somehow. Water views aren't cheap. So you can get good food on the water, but you'll be paying for the view.


Shipping of sea food is expensive so even the cheapest distant resteraunt will pay for premium prices since the difference isn't that much. Near the shore you can save buying cheap - but if you know what you are looking for you can buy the best off the boat for cheap.


Less true if you're talking about seafood "shacks." Tons of good places serving lobster rolls and steamers on the ocean in Maine for example. But, yes, for fancier restaurants especially in cities, the best views often don't come with the best food.


El Bulli was considered the best restaurant in the world until it voluntarily closed and it is right on the Mediterranean with a dock. The web site even had directions to reach it by boat.


If this is true at all, it only applies to cities. Many fantastic seafood restaurants are on or near the docks in regions economically dependent on seafood production.


If this were true, the best seafood in Australia would be in Alice Springs.

Conversely, I have one piece of life advice for you: Don't eat seafood in Alice Springs.
