“The seats are bigger than on an airplane and have a lot more legroom, but it’s not a fundamentally radical difference in design. Train seats are a bit wider and have more legroom, but when you factor in how much longer you’ll likely spend in one, none of those extra few inches seems quite enough.”

But which has more…

“Clever girl...”

That’s totally Cherdleys. I would put my life on it.

They don’t like either, but they can at least punish Kraft for excessive frivolity.

Years is a bit of a stretch, considering the charge. And even if that were the case, that wouldn’t be the only reason for the state to try to punt. It’s a misdemeanor, he’s old, and he has no record. Deferred judgment (or likewise, probation before judgment, or a nolle prosequi) would be the norm for a lot of people…

Eh, I think the claim is that there is a link to an increased occurrence in cancer.

To say that the claim is that there is no healthy compromise would suggest that the only way to be healthy is to avoid any food that poses a cancer risk of 1% or higher — which would likely even include other, otherwise healthy foods.

I’m pretty sure the intention was to say that drinking soda causes no harm to those around you unlike, for instance, smoking.

Otherwise, well...

Eating red meat and processed meat are also linked to an increased risk of heart disease, and heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States — even moreso…

I gotcha. That is an interesting one. So basically, the moment he claims that Twitter should be treated as the equivalent of a “digital town hall” he can no longer also argue that access to (at least some) privately run sites can or should be selectively throttled or paywalled.

But I suspect the reason he made that…

Nunes’ allegations don’t relate much to Net Neutrality or whether Twitter is considered essential. The more relevant question is whether a “content-neutral” platform can be considered a party defendant to civil speech violations committed by the platform’s users. (Assuming any court anywhere actually considers this de…

Eh. It is an easy platform to use, to broadcast a short, public message. And there are plenty of instances of normal, otherwise disregarded little people who might’ve had their very real injustices on the part of governments or large corporations largely ignored, were it not for a viral tweet.

Maybe it isn’t essential…

Eh. Plenty of sports venues have policies against spectator behavior that would be considered “disruptive” or might otherwise affect the outcome of the game. (E.g. The spectator in Utah, last week.)

The determination as to whether certain behavior would be considered disruptive would naturally depend on what’s being…

They are, indeed, assholes — but they’re also wrong. Venues have a lot of latitude to remove fans who are “disruptive” or engage in “abusive language.” The key, of course, is that the venue needs to be informed of what is going on, to take action. For what it’s worth, this same guy has harassed Westbrook before…

I don’t see Black Panther in the dual role of leading the Avengers and ruling Wakanda. Peter Quinn is, more or less, relegated to space-faring within Marvel Cosmic. Captain Marvel will likely play a major role in the Infinity War considering her familiarity with the Marvel Cosmic-verse and her power-set, but she’s…

My dream was a standalone blitzball game. 

That song is good too. I pump it in the car with the fellas’. I mean. In an earbud.

At low volume.

“Feel the burn! But at a medium pacing! But at a brisk, medium pacing!”

Oni was good. 

I’d also add that in some states, communications sent in a clear attempt to settle would not be later admissible in court. (Doesn’t mean they’re privileged, of course. But at the very least, they generally can’t be used against you.)

Yes, going there was a risk, and a stupid one.

But holy shit should he have died for it?

And HOLY SHIT should the President of the United States absolve them of responsibility for his death?

If an immigrant illegally entered the United States, just what degree of crime do you think might justify deporting the person…

That’s pretty garbage, but I totally believe it. Hard inquiries for some utilities don’t factor into scoring, while others (like cable/phone/internet) usually do.

When you renegotiate, the old contract is considered paid in full and dead. The renewal is actually a new contract with new rates, and as such, warrants a ne…
