But if the energy is being transformed into motion, it’s passing through you and the car, not stopping in you where it will do the most damage. Like one of those Newton cradle things:

The “going into neutral if you’re about to be rear-ended” thing is not wrong, it’s only selectively useful.

I hate to be that guy, but it’s Delos, not “Dellos”

Was he supposed to lie because someone he liked as a child turned out to be controversial decades later?

So you never liked or idolized someone as a kid and realized later they weren’t who you thought they were? Because Shandling isn’t getting into anything about Woody Allen except that when HE was young, that inspired him to want to do comedy. Also, Allen has never been accused of rape. What he was accused of is bad…

There’s always one.

I disagree that the name Indians is inherently racist. Cheif Wahoo is racist as hell (and the team is finally dropping him). But is the name Indians defamatory? It isn’t a slur, certainly, the way Washington’s team name is.

I hope he’ll survive the Snickers from his teammates that are sure to follow...

He was ready at the deadline, but ultimately failed at Crunch time.

I can’t say where I heard the quote, though I’ve heard it more than once. That being said, that doesn’t mean it’s not apocryphal. Either way, I actually do think that Ringo was very much a key to the band’s success. He could play to match anything, and didn’t get pulled into the selfish drama that the others…

One of my favorite John Lennon quotes comes from when he was asked about the quality of Ringo’s drumming and remarked: “Ringo’s not even the best drummer in the Beatles!”
