Anthony Ha, TechCrunch [There's] something inherently awkward about where these games fall in the broader evolution of the industry: They don't have the "classic" look or easy-to-learn gameplay of 8-bit or 16-bit Nintendo titles, but they still feel primitive by the standards of today's consoles.

And the fan base for many H.B.C.U. teams, though small by the standards of a Clemson or a Michigan, would be near or at the top of Division II. Additionally, they would no longer be hopelessly overmatched, or know even before the kickoff that they were destined to lose.

RIO DE JANEIRO — The killing of the Greek ambassador was shocking even by the standards of this crime-weary city: Investigators say his wife had him murdered in a home they owned in Rio by her lover, a police officer, who then set the diplomat's remains on fire.

Urban shootings might seem low-grade and banal to some Americans, but by the standards of many places in Europe, they're all exceptionally bloody—and the fact that such attacks could even become banal, shifting our definitions of tragedy toward something like the Piketon massacre, should be cause for national reflection.

"It seems to us that even by the standards of some of these trade unions, this is chronically ill-timed and ill-judged," he said, adding that it could coincide with the period in which the company will be announcing base cuts, closures and job losses because of MAX delivery delays.

To liberate the city from entrenched ISIS fighters, the U.S.-led coalition was forced to destroy it, pummeling the regional capital with more than 4,000 airstrikes and 30,000 artillery strikes over three months, and creating a scene of almost unimaginable devastation, even by the standards of the Syrian Civil War.

Or maybe not: the cool wrap-front jeans, patchwork-denim Converse sneakers and outsize khakis were notable both for a restraint unusual by the standards of this designer and for ornamentation that leaned heavily on such elements of Americana as trading cards, jeans jackets, flip-flops, kiddie glitter hearts and Coca-Cola script.

But while Cerise Lim Jacobs's libretto seemed to want to echo the zany yet cutting anti-authoritarian satire of Ligeti's 1978 classic "Le Grand Macabre," her story was difficult to decipher even by the standards of absurdism, and even given the bright, clear production by James Darrah, its prevailing color electric green.

Sure, by the standards of an administration that regularly cites the Bible to legitimize its complete authority, that has produced executive orders demanding that "religious liberty" be observed by the Department of Justice even when it conflicts with anti-discrimination laws, and that regularly implies Trump was chosen by God, Kavanaugh is a moderate.

He is, by the standards of his peers, an outsider: he spent the majority of his career not only working away from fully professional soccer, in Tuscany's regional leagues, but doing so part-time, while holding down a full-time job in wealth management for Banca Toscana and, later, Monte dei Paschi di Siena.

Yarchen Gar Journal YARCHEN GAR, China — Even by the standards of the phenomenal sights of Tibet, Yarchen Gar is a wonder on the high plateau: thousands of ramshackle homes clustered on a remote peninsula at the bend of a river, each one the domicile of a nun who has come here to study Tibetan Buddhism.

They talk faster than Six in Blossom (the scripts were so dialogue-heavy they were about 15 pages longer than the average network TV script) and confront class, politics, and feminism in a way that still feels fresh by the standards of modern network TV.

Bret: By the standards of this administration, Trump had a very good week: the return of the hostages from North Korea, the setting of a date and place for his summit with Kim Jong-un, the move of the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and the withdrawal from the awful Iran nuclear deal, which fulfilled a campaign promise.

With James, the clandestine implications and the explicit text are the same, the words articulate the wound: he announces that he was judged insufficiently masculine by the standards of his time, queer and perverse and in some ways disappointing to all—but, perhaps for that very reason, better able to see a sight and to land a sentence.

And then, of course, there's President Trump, who has an unusually close relationship with the National Rifle Association (despite his previous calls for an assault weapons ban) even by the standards of GOP presidents, because the group was one of the main pillars of the institutional Republican Party that stood by him even in the lowest moments of his 2016 presidential campaign.

" For Roosevelt, the nation needed a change in ethics: an "abandonment of the false belief that public office and high political position are to be valued only by the standards of pride of place and personal profit" and "an end to conduct in banking and in business which too often has given to a sacred trust the likeness of callous and selfish wrongdoing.

The United States is the only high-income country to have millions of citizens who lack health insurance, has a relative child poverty rate that's off the charts by the standards of other developed countries, has no guaranteed paid parental leave or paid vacation, and remains one of the world's highest per capita emitters of greenhouse gases even as the world hurtles toward an environmental crisis.

But to protect other species, such as the bull trout in Glacier, wildlife biologists have taken a step that's radical by the standards of the NPS, which is usually loath to move species: Fishery managers have caught native bull trout and transported them upstream of barrier waterfalls to upper reaches of mountain streams that are both cooler and — so far, anyway — free of marauding lake trout.

Still, even by the standards of reality TV -- a genre populated by exhibitionists and those seeking their 15 minutes of fame -- "Tiger King" is so awash in hard-to-believe oddballs that lean into their image it genuinely feels like a Coen brothers movie come to life, the kind of thing any studio would return to the writer saying the screenplay was too over the top.

It is not clear whether the back-and-forth will do anything to change the contours of the race, which is especially close by the standards of a state where Republicans tend to rout their rivals, but many party officials believe that Mr. Moore has steadied his candidacy and that they should back — or at least avoid further antagonizing — someone who could soon be in the Senate.

Even before he became president, Donald Trump was known as a routine liar, a bullshit artist of the first order even by the standards of high-end real estate and reality TV.
