I think the original reaction here was spot-on

If I recall right, the original measles vaccine had a control and treatment comparison of about 100 in total, in an RCT. It was luckily a pretty big protective effect, but just a few coin flips one way or another would still have produced a failure to reject the null.

Here we’ve got an observational study. It’s reasonable to remark that a study design like that and a sample size like that are unlikely to tell us anything meaningful

Something like the Master Chief Collection might be better, since it has great campaign modes that can be paused.

Not all kids are the same, but mine have absolutely destroyed the time I had for gaming. I’m not happy about it, but I’d rather have happier kids and spouse

Man, that 1990s Magneto with a big letter on his chest and no helmet, whom we also see in X-Men ‘97, is just such a weird design choice. Completely throws everything away and just goes its own way. In a totally geriatric Vanilla Ice kind of way

The Reflex

By Duran Duran. Other stuff by them is great. This one just was a drill into the skull

Worst

Evar

And that’s me in like 6th grade or so

You can’t put Heartbeat in the same sentence with anything else and not cause the universe to collapse due to anti-matter science whatsis

Metroid Prime was awesome

Destiny and Destiny 2 borrowed from this and other past efforts. The campaign face off with Oryx in Destiny includes an homage to Ocarina of Time (the room with the four portraits in an early temple)

Edge of Fate just didn’t pull off an homage. It was tedious. Add in a destination that felt more suffocating than anything they designed before, except maybe for those slo-mo spots in Final Shape, and you’ve got a winner in a bad way

AKA a coffee shop or cafe. Check out the I-House cafe, a great place to chat while studying

This is it. I like Walking in Your Footsteps too, but this is sublime

The bass line just blows into your brain. It’s not complex, but it’s turned up to 11

FWIW the city has a webpage that lists pro and con statements and rebuttals

The wild thing is that presumably the Destiny 2 team is the group that worked on the Star Wars expansion with LucasArts or The Mouse whatever they call themselves

Not a terrible idea to continue that and let it blossom. Unless it destroys Bungie’s own IP

I was only 3-1/2 that May and I think I had to wait until the theatrical rerelease. But I remember Empire in 1980 when I was 6-1/2

I’m not sure what doesn’t belong on any album, but it is absolutely astonishing that the artistry of “Inyo” only existed on Tracks II. What a song

Are the Stomper statues still there? I can’t recall if they had been repainted to reclaim them as Oakland rather than Athletics

Bluey and the Goldfish

I think you should try to call and go tomorrow, to the ED if you have to. Don’t wait.

The curtain won’t appear all the time, because your brain will take the image from your other eye.

Fingers crossed for you

You should check out The Last Ship, it is heavily influenced by Soul Cages

While embouchure differences probably favor going with alto over tenor, the other thing is that a Bb instrument is easier to mesh in your head and on paper.

Turns out that Eb alto and bari actually are giving you the same pitches for fingering that lower register clarinet gives you. For example, three left hand fingers gives you a Bb on lower register clarinet, which is called a C and written as a C. On an alto or bari it’s called a G even though it’s actually a concert Bb. Same fingering for same pitch.

But clarinet actually spends a lot of time in the upper register, where three left hand fingers gives you a concert F, called a G on the Bb clarinet upper register. Also called a G on tenor and soprano (and bass) saxophone.

For me, when the point of a saxophone honestly is easy improvisation and groove, I prefer the Bb horns because they fit better with where I was living as a clarinet player, in the upper register.

You want the horn to work with your brain, not fight it

The pee troughs MUST show up at an homage location somewhere they have to

Gamefaqs was a great place in the aughts!

Max and Miriya are shown with their own super Valkyrie kits blasting and relaxing at about 2:40 of that clip

They just don’t get as much screen time as Rick (or as much recycled stock footage of Zentraedi stuff going boom)

Careful now, logic and respect have no place in fandom on Reddit.

If one looks at the sequels in a similar way that one looks at the Tron sequels and the Kelvin timeline Star Trek reboot, I think it all makes a little more sense how they’re going to be imperfect. Still kind of guilty fun

Can the Mobiles really keep it up without triggering some kind of matter and anti-matter event?

Seems like they need to become a west coast Savannah Bananas or something. Maybe bringing SF’s Kelsie Whitmore back closer to home during the WPBL offseason

Unpopular opinion:

Seven Steps to Heaven

George Coleman is underappreciated as a sideman with Miles. The guy is solid. The lineup and cadence of the tunes on the album is thoughtful and aesthetically great

Sure, Basin Street Blues needs to be in Bb, but I’ll take C

The title track is sublime with its harmonized bebop head with trumpet and tenor. Up tempo but not head spinning

So Near, So Far is an unreal melodic stroll
