Everybody is outraged, and the stories call up images of a demonic, laughing Tom Brady deflating his way to the Super Bowl. This is the biggest detumescence story since — well, since they started showing all those "ED" ads during football games.
If you could assign a point value to ball deflation, I think it might be an advantage of, say, ~0.0125 points per game.
If it was deliberate, I'm 100% certain nobody was thinking: "Hey, this is the secret formula for winning football games! Booyah!" Much more likely whoever did it thought, hey, it doesn't make any difference so I might as well be comfortable.
> I focus on micro-accomplishments. At first I concentrate on making it to the next switchback—it's overwhelming to think about all the climbing that's still to come. Soon, that mindset melts away in the blistering heat of the high alpine afternoon. I start concentrating on getting one more pedal stroke at a time out of my exhausted legs.
I'm happy you do biking, you get really good feeling I own a mountain bike but not a "racing" bike (for the road), but an uncle owns 2 of them, and we did 80km one month ago with a peak at 1050m
@MattЭллен The answer is a fast and high scorer. When did the acceleration happen, before or after your edit? (before the answer was essentially 'robust, deal with it', afterwards there's real explanation).

Matt's joke depends on knowing that joke, because you are then expected to here 'Escher?' as 'something-mumbled her?' and so "ha ha what must that mean, something dirty I bet, ha ha"
Given an internship opportunity in ICS , I would be not only be able to deepen my understanding of computation inference but also contribute effectively towards the department’s research objectives
the whole context: Fueled by this motivation to further the boundaries of computational cognition and backed by my strong technical expertise, I am confident that through this internship in ICS I would not only be able to deepen my understanding of computation inference but also contribute effectively towards the department’s research objectives
@Mitch
I tried that but it just sounds weird because there are lots of ands in the whole paragraph

@tchrist The Dutch book of etymology also says unknown:
> Ontleend aan Frans bizarre ‘zonderling’ [16e eeuw] < Italiaans bizarro ‘toornig, grillig’, verder van onbekende herkomst. Onwrsch. is ontlening aan Spaans bizarro ‘trots, fier, moedig’ [1625], of aan Baskisch bizar ‘baard’ (als symbool van trots en, bij uitbreiding, ‘energieke man’).
It says "Spanish bizarro and Basque bizar are unlikely".
@Sudh Yes, 'not only' provides more ... oomph ... but sometimes you want that sometimes you don't. Sometimes you have to overthink it so that later you don't have to and you're able to choose more quickly depending on the appropriateness of the context. That's writing or really any communication. @KitFox would know more.
@crl Yes, that was what I was thinking of...there is a good paper about the mathematics behind the filling out of that blank point... somewhere (can't find the link now).
@MattЭллен haha...you made good answer that stopped all upvotes!
It's a joke that plays on the fact that "er" sounds like "her". Often similar jokes are made in a crude manner, e.g. "Banger? I barely know her" where Banger sounds like bang her, where bang is slang for having sex with someone. I made it more surreal and make less sense. So it's a joke on a joke.
Very deep meaning. You know the deep web? With bit coin and black hats and Area 51? Even they don't know about the cows. They probably have a clue about the corduroys but everyone knew that already
