Huh I’m pretty sure it was the southerners who wanted slaves to be counted as people. And I think Roger Sherman was a representative for the state of Connecticut. Your joke is still funny though.

He had a monster last couple of years in moto2 as well. Dude is just super fast. When he gets a factory ride he is going to dominate. Mark it down.

Insurance is included in tire/maintenance number. I don’t have a car payment because when you’re responsible and buy a car you can afford you don’t have to finance it. And if you had the ability to read OR do basic arithmetic you’d see that that’s 18/hour after taxes and expenses (as I stated). Say what you want about…

Basketball is also having its playoffs right now so that pretty well explains why he singled it out. Social issues were singled out because ESPN has been making a concerted effort to address such things more than they used to.

I had income gross around 43000 and paid about 2700 in taxes. That’s an effective tax rate of 6.5%. I get a credit for being at least a half-time student (6+ hours in a single term) as well as deductions for my IRA contribution, school tuition, books and expenses related to Uber and my day job. Of that 43000 Uber…

Dude was totally ripped when he first came up to the bigs. Using a player’s body type isn’t a particularly good argument for why you think someone uses PEDs but that argument goes out the window when you just look at some pictures of him from 5 years ago. I seem to remember that they called him “Biceps” when he was…

This is high quality.

What you did was make baseless assumptions and then some rudimentary and highly uninformed calculations. As a person who has a BS in mathematics and is currently pursuing a second degree in actuarial science I am offended by your “math” and methodology not your conclusion. There is much more to the proposition of…

Sssshhh. Math doesn’t involve logic or reason.

Well the vast majority of Uber drivers are not full-time driving, but rather using it to supplement their income. Additionally most people aren’t going out and buying a $25k car just to drive Uber. Maybe for you Uber wouldn’t be worth it but I can tell you from personal experience that I am making a nice supplement to…

No

Can’t assume a 20% effective tax rate because all car-related expenses are tax deductible (prorated for what percentage of your car’s miles are used for work). This math is just bad.

But there’s the rub: the current popular ne0-liberal movement is built on making fun of these people. Popular politics (on either side of the fence) has become an exercise in picking an ideology and trying to force it on everyone else. Instead of being inclusive and listening to the other person’s idea the common…

This reads like a Dwight schrute madlib.

I agree that it was an in-canon soft reboot. I think that’s exactly what it was and to be honest that’s what disappointed me. Like I said before it didn’t ruin anything for me I just wish that’s not how they chose to restart the franchise, though I will say that anything would have been better than episodes 1 - 3; I…

Ya it was alright. I don’t regret staying up real late on a work night to see it. I’m just saying that any criticism thrown the way of the FF franchise applies to TFA. It was undeniably a film geared towards the lowest common denominator. Fan service is another way of saying that. Reboot could be a synonym as well.…

My guess (and it’s pure conjecture to be sure) is that this is exactly what this couple is thinking. This is pretty much the perfect time for them to blow a story of this kind out of proportion or simply make shit up in order to ride the wave of public disdain for United. They’re probably hoping to get some comps out…

Did you watch The Force Awakens? They didn’t spend any money writing the script because they literally just ripped off the original movie. There is nothing “rib eye” or “premium” about that movie. That movie was pretty much the definition of ground beef geared toward the lowest common denominator. A Mcdonald’s…

The car does come with a trigger device though. It’s called a gas pedal, a brake pedal and a parking brake.

The mechanism neither encourages nor discourages anything. It is a device which acts at the user’s command. Which is the key here: the user commands the device. The car even has an indicator that tells them how they’ve commanded it just in case they’ve never commanded a device like that one before. Or if they make a…
