I love TTR. My friends and I have been binging on it on the weekends for the past couple of months. We’ve had some serious emotional swings at the end of some of the games.

To be fair, my friend was sort of a skateboarding prodigy.

I’d swear you couldn’t get a DUI riding a horse in FL. A friend of mine once got a DUI on a skateboard and (supposedly) according to his lawyer the only mode of transportation you couldn’t get a DUI on (in FL) was on a horse.

Tesla may fail but Musk, from his standpoint, has succeeded.

...a Hawaiian snack bar at that.

Netflix is using shady accounting practices IMO. Look at the difference between their stated profit (positive!) and their cash flow and free cash flow (both hugely negative!). It’s not like they’re building factories or office buildings. Content doesn’t have much of a shelf-life IMO.

For that to be an authentic DPRK message you’ll need more superlatives.

WOW.

About ten years ago I was on I-4 west bound in a shitty rental car having a shitty day. I had been on the phone yelling at people and getting yelled at since Lake Mary. Just after Maitland Boulevard something happened: the car went quiet. The previous symphony of econobox rattling and a stuttering AC fan gave way to…

A caveat to all of that is that tanks also operate in a different sort of “dirty” environment: they’re close to the ground. The bar for detection and targeting when your target is close to a bunch of random crap is much higher than a plane that’s literally just surrounded by air. Also, because the tank is close to the…

I was standing on top of a 62 story building which was a turning point for the Blue Angels at the Chicago Air & Water Show this past August. A few times the F-18s probably flew within 200 yards (maybe closer tbh) of the building. They weren’t even remotely on the throttle and the raw noise was enough to shake anyone.

Now that I think about it, something like a Super Tucano should be capable of launching from a Wasp class.  

Depends on your definition of winning. Do we achieve the political outcomes we hope for? Not often. Do we rack up a multiple of enemy casualties relative to our own while we have one arm tied behind our back? Damn straight.

Did anyone else notice the big dog’s dong was blurred/pixelated? Is that really where we’re at as a society?

I recently got a flyer in the mail for a class-action lawsuit against my alma mater for failing to disclose the the dangers of concussions/CTE to players. IMO, the way this will play out is lawyers will succeed with such a lawsuit, colleges/high schools won’t be able to afford the insurance going forward, those…

I’ve always wondered if NK wasn’t a front for a Chinese nuclear weapon program. It could be argued that China never got as far along with their nuclear program as they would have liked (they never tested a miniaturized fusion warhead) and that NK is a nuclear surrogate for them.

My impression of the Rolls Royce engineers designing this engine:

Honest question: what’s the plan if a lot of these high-income, high net-worth individuals decide to up and leave? This is not an unprecedented question either: both Baltimore and Chicago are seeing an exodus of millionaires.

Does anyone know if ventilated seats are an option?

Why not park a couple of Ohio-class (or newly minted Columbia-class... or perhaps something purpose-built) subs on the Great Lakes? Such a weapon system would be literally impossible for any foreign power to target and you’d streamline your missile inventory at the same time. I’d imagine operating in fresh water would…
