These professions have to misleading impression of scale too. One top 5%er can write articles that millions read. But you actually need the other 95% to teach classes, to attend the county board of supervisors, to grind out the midrange pubs that constitute a body of literature.
One of the worst developments of the last ~20 years has been that in certain professions, 5% are superstars and 95% eat cat food for dinner.
Society depends on a broad and comfortable middle path.

Very revealing moment for me about rich people. They talk like all the fancy stuff is wonderful or whatever but then you get in there and it's lifesize horse lamps, grey uncomfortable furniture, small tinnies of terrible beer and a midrange fry up.

I hope Capcom can figure out what’s going on with large scale games in RE Engine. It’s crazy that they can get modern RE games running on smartphones and Street Fighter 6 looking crisp with locked 60 on Switch 2, while DD2 and MH Wilds can’t maintain 1080/60 on PS5 or midrange PCs

Given DiVincenzo's $12M salary, the Knicks' lack of midrange contracts and the complications of the Knicks being hard-capped at the second apron and the Wolves being over the first apron, I'm guessing it'd have to be a 3+ team deal. Lotta moving parts. Pretty fun idea, though!
The Knicks have had exploratory discussions with both the Pelicans & Timberwolves as they look to improve their guard depth.
League sources tell ClutchPoints that a native New Yorker & a former Knick have been at the center of talks.
No deals just yet. Full story: clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york...

Jaylen Brown's pullup is absolute money now. He's had the midrange shot in the middle of the floor for years. But now it's from anywhere on the court, and he's nailing them from deep too. Brown is locked in this season in a whole different way.

I've only managed about 700 words and a lot of mucking about with Scrivener themes today. I really need computers in general to have a midrange setting, not just light and dark.
Also now I'm hungry but don't want to eat the ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS food I brought with me. Whinge.

Every now and then I think about how the midrange power plant on BMWs midrange vehicle now offers nearly 500 hp, can crank off 0-60 times under 4 seconds but still can go 40 miles without burning any gas, and does so in a package unimaginably luxurious by 1980s stds that costs $26,000 in 80s money

the hs7’s lack a bit in the low end. would prolly need a sub to get accurate mixes. i’ve used the mps5’s for years and love where the midrange sits. plus very easy on the ears for long sessions.

I kind of wanted the Dodgers to get him for their fourth outfielder vacancy before I remembered their track record with ex-Giant lefthanded corner outfielders who hit about .230-.240 with midrange power named “Michael”

Nikola Jokic is just unreal sometimes.
Here, w/ 3.9 seconds remaining in the 3rd quarter, Joker takes the inbound from the arc, dribbles through a double, gets fouled (no call o/c), and somehow drains the midrange contested floater while still kind of fumbling the ball.

As most of you know, I splurge on an imported panettone every year. This year I chose a midrange option (a standard Fiasconaro) and it’s fine.
I tell ya this random store-bought panettone-adjacent bread (bisciola) I got last year in Lake Como ruined everything for me.
