Yep. And for the next few weeks, almost every airline is tankering fuel into the southeast so that they don’t have to draw so much on the limited supply thanks to the Colonial hack.

Long-haul flying on a full commercial airplane is by far the safest and most fuel-efficient mode of transportation. It’s actually even more fuel-efficient than bicycling, if you add in the carbon cost of eating food.

That is what makes the Olympics so thrilling, I think. Sure, it’s fun when the Americans win (suck it, rest of world!), but who doesn’t watch the Russian figure skaters, or the Austrian skiers, and just go “Wow, that’s amazing?”

Yeah, the era of free agency has benefitted players a lot, and I wouldn’t want to lose that, but we lost a big part of the “local” factor in sports when players started changing teams all the time.

Yep. I can’t tell you how many indelible memories have been formed over watching games with friends and family. Some of my fondest memories of deceased loved ones, even.

“I’ve got so much money, I can self-insure.”

DON’T FEED THE TROLLS!

Eh, until we decide to build more transportation infrastructure, location is always going to command a significant premium in the Bay Area.

Fine, let’s go with a 1/8th inch nipple, an 1/8th to 1/4th adapter and a 1/4th inch cap.

The asset bubble isn’t a bubble, it’s real demand. Financing standards are still extremely high - you can’t get anything with less than 20% down.

Trying to think of a good The Graduate-based joke.

When the James Blonde movies came out, ostensibly to make a “more realistic” story, I really wanted someone to “reboot” Die Hard from the perspective of a dude in a diner watching the story of the Nakatomi Tower hostage situation on TV.

I take this comment as "why don't you write an article about every time you get an honest, straightforward answer from a dealer?" Um, because no one needs advice about that situation. :-)

The medallion system was working pretty well managing the supply of taxis to make sure that there was a balance between that supply and a driver’s ability to make money.

It’s ultimately a mechanical Turk, and an inefficient one at that.

How about "savants?"

Isn’t that what insurance is/isn’t that what taxes are?
