It really does depend on distance. I have a 25-30 minute commute depending on how much I speed and it’s a little over 20 miles. Give me a 5 mile commute that takes that long and I’d kill myself.

I’m torn because I think spending 9 hours of your free time doing something for someone who’s not your significant other or a very close family member damn sure deserves a thank you. On the other hand, why was 9 hours worth of landscaping a priority right now? Like I can see mowing the lawn real quick so the new…

2 or 3 cars ago, I decided to replace my own wiper blades. I bought the right ones and then could not figure out how to get the old ones off. I did not want to risk snapping off the actual part that stays with the car, so I very sheepishly brought the new blade to the mechanic the next time I got my oil changed and…

Actually, I don’t really see how it’s praiseworthy even at the high school level. If it’s a relatively minor injury, then let the injured runner decide whether to hobble to the finish and actually finish, or give up. If it’s something more serious, then finishing the race with or without assistance is beside the…

I don’t know the first thing about climbing mountains but the idea of an upper age limit seems ridiculous to me. Who are we to tell an 85-year-old he can’t risk his life doing something important to him?

Thank you. What’s turned my stomach about this whole thing is the amount of promotion and self-congratulation for Nike. They, comparatively speaking, didn’t do shit. Kipchoge is the one who ran a distance of 26.2 miles faster than anyone in history (albeit not in an officially sanctioned race).

I have no experience with Tesla, but 9 times out of 10 when a company complains that they can’t find qualified workers, what they mean is they can’t find qualified workers who will work for the pay and benefits they’re offering. Seems like they should have to suck it up and pay what the market demands.

Um, people who have an extreme aversion to children don’t watch their relatives’ kids at all.

Compared to backwoods Appalachia, Madison and Milwaukee and their suburbs are pretty damn urban. Compared to really big cities, probably not, but that wasn’t the point.

Only the most hardcore viewers are watching day 3 of the draft at all. No amount of antics involving animals or B-grade “celebrities” is going to get the casual fan watching. Given that, why not give them some analysis?

Plus, it seems like if he did it, saying there was never any sex is a really bad defense. It’ll be pretty easy to determine if they had sex or not.

Exactly. SF would gotten a haul of picks for moving all the way down to 12th. That they didn’t tells me that they weren’t willing to lose out on Thomas, or another guy guaranteed to go in the top 10.

No, you’re exactly right. The 49ers did not pass up a guy they saw as a franchise QB in exchange for 2 3rds and a 4th. They obviously had no interest in Trubisky.

Well said. Nothing about this pick makes sense.

That trade is totally unconscionable. No way were the Niners interested in Trubisky, because you don’t pass up the guy you think is your franchise QB for a few mid-round picks. I’d still be shitting on the Bears if they’d taken Trubisky at 3, but at least they’d still have those picks.

Duty times being regulated is true, but another part of “how an airline treats its pilots” is pay. The regional carriers pay their employees next to nothing and the stress from being broke as well as logistical issues has to have an impact. I believe in that Colgan Air crash in Buffalo pilot fatigue was implicated not…

But you have to keep in mind that, assuming Lynch will only come out of retirement for the Raiders, he’s worthless to the Seahawks if they don’t trade him. Having his rights doesn’t mean a thing if he chooses not to play.

If Lynch is only interested in coming back to play for the Raiders, why not get something rather than nothing? Their only leverage is to force him to stay retired which doesn’t benefit them at all. Might as well get a slightly better pick in exchange for a guy who 100% is not going to play for you anymore.

YES! Here in Wisconsin idiots who have the right of way will stop and wave you on from a stop sign. Or if two cars come to a stop sign at the same time and one clearly stopped like a second before the other, it’s 50/50 that the guy who stopped first will wave on the guy who stopped second. It’s moronic and it’s…

Because if I’m traveling by choice with someone like my wife, I’d probably like to spend the flight with them?
