I’ve ridden motorcycles for much of my life, too, though they’ve all had windshields and I was always wearing a helmet.

I’m also in Wisconsin, and while I realize that 70 degree days are but a fleeting occurrance, driving on the highway with my window down is just horrible. I used to do it as a kid, but now, the ear by the window gets blasted with sound, I can’t hear the radio, the wind messes up my hair. When I’m on the surface…

We have a GOP Senate and GOP House due to the Tea Party wave a few years ago, gerrymandering, and the fact that many people who vote Democratic don’t bother voting during mid-terms. The DNC has spent millions of dollars on Senate races in battleground states, and is ramping up spending on House seats, especially now…

The current plan is for a couple thousand colonists. Any less, and the population is too small to keep itself going. I think there is a poit at which a sub-culture could easily exist. I’m not sure what that point is, but a few thousand would probably do it. Not to mention, these people are going to be very intimately…

*Stuck on Mars: Two obvious solutions. 1) Make Mars porn. 2) Download a batch, then be free to wank it for the rest of the week/month.

Not with kids, but I know I’ve instinctively swerved when someone/thing runs in front of the car. Many times, I had no chance to think or calculate odds, I was swerving before I’d even thought about it. If the car were emulating my driving behavior, it would probably prioritize the people outside over me, and I’d be…

This type of scenario is incredibly improbable...but not impossible.

I would give her challenges in the fundamentals room. I’m not sure what the layout is, or anything, but try seeing how far she can go there, with presumably fewer people around. I wouldn’t put her out on the main course with the adults tearing it up for two reasons.

Truth. I don’t really care what anyone else thinks any more (generally speaking, as in, random people on the street). I’m not a teenager, my priorities have changed. I’ll carry my wife’s purse, I’ll buy tampons at the store, I’ll carry my kid’s dolly, whatever.

I love Subway. Though, I tend to figure out my favorite food from a restaurant and always get that when I’m there. So the quality of Subway may have goen down, but as long as they still make the Spicy Italian sub, I’ll never notice.

No matter who is projected to win based on national polls, I don’t think they’re the right metric to use when considering who will win the election. I never have and I never will.

But that’s not what the article was about. Nate Silver is trying very hard to make people realize that Trump might win by showing that the national polling has them close. I’m simply arguing that the national polling isn’t the right metric to be using when trying to say that someone might win.

But if we’re wondering who’s going to win, as Nate Silver is, then the Electoral College is all that matters precisely because they are not beholden to the popular vote. The popular vote is, at best, an indicator, but a better indicator is the state by state polls, weighed against the number of each state’s electors.

Part of the issue is that a lot of people look at the national polling data, which has Clinton and Trump very close. But a national poll is not comparable to the actual election. When you factor in the Electoral College, Hillary has been comfortably ahead since the two nominees emerged from their respective primaries.…

We don’t have any, that I’m aware of, in WI, but this state has seriously fallen in love with the roundabouts/traffic circles. They’re putting them in everywhere. And while they make sense in many cases, they are horrible when one (or both) of the streets intersecting are busy. I’ve sat, waiting for an opening for…

9/11 was a sort of a loss of innocence for many people, but I can’t get passed the people on Facebook who keep posting shit about “we forgot” or something like that. It was 15 years ago. We don’t honor December 7th...and I bet most people couldn’t even tell you what that day even means.

I live in WI and my family calls them “Michigan lefts” because they’re pretty popular in MI and that’s where my parents grew up.

How do you propose the kinks be worked out if the feature is offline?

I’m not surprised, since there are many people in the country (and in government, specifically) who would rather all regulation be at the state level (or non-existent). I would like some federal regulation on this, but I don’t see it happening.

I would bet that the coverage would be through a national insurer, so state by state regulation would be mitigated a bit. In fact, coverage would probably be held to the strictest state’s regulation, so they could sell (and insure) cars in all states.
