I am livid that Niskannen isn’t getting further discipline. I think Ovechkin deserves a suspension as well. How many times does that dirty asshole get to slash and slewfoot players without getting called for it? If I’m Coach Sullivan, I’m bringing Tom Sesstito back to the line up, giving him a sledgehammer in place…

To correct one thing, this is not a granted patent. Rather, this is a patent application that recently published. According to the USPTO website, the application has not been examined yet.

I’m not convinced. There are three types of (possible) viewers: those who almost always watch; those who only watch the big races; and those who haven’t watched but would continue to watch once exposed to it. The timing of the big races have no impact on the first two groups. Someone who has never watched is most…

In high school, I had a Renault Alliance GT convertible. That car was surprisingly fun to drive, but the problems. Biggest problem was the timing belt snapping well before any sane person would expect a timing belt to break. By the time we got rid of it, the top was more duct tape than anything else. Highway…

I agree it would be a lot of Apaches and Warthogs shot down, but the resulting loss of life would be less than if the NK artillery could shoot at Seoul and other SK cities with impunity.

Much. Thank you.

I really don’t want to go to war with NK, but the regime is getting more dangerous by the day. It seems the only thing that sanctions do is make them more desperate to develop their nuclear arsenal. How long before they are so desparate that they at least try to sell a nuclear bomb to a terrorist group or another…

Sorry, but you have it entirely backwards. No pro-gun person is promising to “pull out their glock” to charge into battle if someone goes on a shooting spree. Those of us who legally carry guns do so as a last resort to protect ourselves and our families. If someone starts shooting, our first instinct is to run…

I am from Pittsburgh, a huge Pens fan and therefore a huge Crosby fan. That being said, the dick shot was dirty. Now THAT being said, I can’t help laughing every time I see it.

Exactly this. Data shows that concealed carry permit holders are more law abiding than most citizens. Everyone that I know who legally carries a concealed handgun is extremely aware of the enormous power and responsibility they wield. Almost all of them are going to do everything within their power to escape,…

Let’s call it a gear cone from now on...

Here is the real reason this is terrible. The best use of autonomous cars will be sexy time for parents who can’t get five goddamn minutes to themselves because kids. In the age of fully autonomous cars and darkly-tinted windows, parents and kids will soon learn the new implications for “Mommy and Daddy are going…

I don’t disagree with your point that gun owners should have training but I do disagree with your point that such training should be mandated by government. Like it or not, the right to bear arms is enumerated the Bill of Rights, and the rights are not ranked in importance. With that in mind, a big part of the…

I don’t think oil prices are going to increase appreciably any time soon. The problem for OPEC countries (and Russia) is that North American shale is a big player in the market now. If oil prices start to rise, then more domestic capacity comes online, which depresses prices again.

“Correct” air/fuel ratio was probably a poor word choice on my part. Desired would be a better choice. Regardless of what air/fuel ratio a gas turbine is trying to run, attempting to shove more air through the core will require more fuel to maintain that ratio.

Interesting video, but he says a couple of things that are incorrect or misleading. At 2:30 in the video, he says that for turbofan engines, the majority of thrust comes from the air going through the turbine. That may have been true with some of the earlier, low-bypass turbofans, but the fan by-pass provides most…

Steelers fan here. I couldn’t be more thrilled with this. Yes, he is a show off and will probably get a couple of unsportsmanlike penalties for excessive celebration every year. But the talent is clearly there. From everything I’ve read, his cockiness is earned. He is one of the hardest workers in practice and…

Congratulations on twins! It’s fun, but a handful!

No doubt the Camry is the right car for some people. But if you’re that person, then own it. I’m never giving recommendations that are too far off the reservation. If someone is looking at a Camry or an Accord, I’m not suggesting they cross shop an M4. I will, however, suggest that they look at cars like the Ford…
