Since the advent of the modern peer reviewed scientific community, a consensus has been a pretty good indicator that something is either correct, or pretty damn close to correct.

Name one scientific concept that had over 97% support of all scientists in the field post 1950 as unequivocally correct that later was…

its a myth that it was a consensus there was a flat earth. that is a “tall tale” told to children in fairy tales about Columbus. It was accepted science that the earth was a sphere from the time of the greeks. All navigational maps from columbus time where based on spheres. Their math was wrong on the size of the…

This, surprisingly, isn’t bad. The only thing that makes me want to projectile hurl is all the flames. Why on the fucking gauges?

you must be fun at parties :)

PRECISELY. Its why I drive my truck to dinner and NOT my Cayman in the off chance I actually let a valet park it. Aint no way im letting some 17 year old drive a car thats worth more than he’s ever made in his life.

Even if it is valet only, I pay the valet and I park the car myself.

never valet, not even once.

who hurt you?

Holy fuck, what an attitude. I can’t imagine how a test drive would go with a person like that...

But people continue to buy the Jeep Patriot, the Compass, and the Dodge Caliber, even though we’ve known forever they’re huge pieces of shit. haha

I’m really on the fence about this one. On one hand I could buy a lot of other things for 24 grand, but on the other it would be really hard to find something this wooden again. I’ll say NP.

There may not be any more left, but fuck it this thing is worth going to jail for.

Er, most people in Paris or other European cities further south.

Stopped reading at “weight does not matter.”

that’s very true. One thing I was taught is to put into 401k the amount that your employer will match as soon as you can, otherwise it’s like throwing away free money.

If you are under 30, it’s actually good that the market tanks. That means when you do your weekly contributions, you are buying more shares because they are cheaper. The entire history of the stock exchange says that prices will rebound. It’s only a matter of time. Sit back and relax. It only sucks if you are close…

Are you on drugs? I have yet to find an SUV that drives as well as the crappiest car on the market. Absolutely no comparison. Any car based chassis will always drive and perform better than a SUV on the street, not to mention be able to out handle it and out brake it...all aspects of active safety.

I call shenanigans. SUVs are inherently unstable because of their top-heavy construction and are typically truck-based which hinders ride quality. Minivans are typically car-based and have all the advantages of the car they are based on.

That needed busting?

Jay Cutler probably would, but I don’t know if anybody else would.
