Someone Else Further Down the Stack

I mentioned this when I first saw it, but I just cannot get over this ridiculous interview with the CEO of Zoom. Somehow, it manages to simultaneously highlight pretty much all of the major things that are bothering me as I careen into my grumpiest, middle-ag-iest years.

Dirty Basketball

When assessing the “dirty” aspect of a basketball play, a good but non-all-encompassing question to ask is “if I did this in a pickup game, would someone fight me”.
