They could, but then they wouldn’t take the record away from the Agera RS. The record is based on a road legal car so you can’t use special tires that aren’t road legal.

I guess I don’t get how you can play the “we’re doing real journalism” card when the NY Times busted the story wide-open with 5 sources in what, a few weeks since the Weinstein stuff broke? And you’ve supposedly had it for years?

Here’s the simple fact: The Washington Post did journalism the right way, and Jezebel did not.

Didn’t see your other comment. Agree on DS9. Also think the last few seasons of TNG were outstanding. But DS9 was by far the most effective series in my opinion.

Have we met? I got in a huge thing at Dragoncon last year about why I’m not really a fan of Roddenberry’s vision of Star Trek and nobody could understand where I’m coming from. Like, TOS is progressive for its time and what he could get away with in the late 60s, but by the time you get to early TNG and you’re still…

I’d say that’s a pretty disingenuous reading of their intentions and completely at odds with the way virtually every front office (Jeets likely excepted) actually operates these days. Twitter snark is not where rigorous baseball analysis is happening for the most part.

I sorta see where you’re headed here. HOWEVAH. PECOTA and JAWS are projection systems designed to predict future outcomes based on previous performance, while WAR, OPS+ and wRC+ are designed to measure actual in-season performance. They certainly use most of the same data, but to different ends and with different…

The guy taking the shot is an expert marksman in the Special Forces. Seems appropriate given his career path. Their choice of gender reveal doesn’t make them horrible people.

I would never wish harm on anybody, but if something horrible happened to that absolutely terrible pair of humans, I wouldn’t bat an eyelash.

“Don’t trust anonymous sources” — oh well, there goes Watergate, the Pentagon Papers, etc. etc. The point is to trust anonymous sources if they’ve survived professional editing, a la NY Times or WaPo, and NOT to trust idiotic listicles like this that have no byline or imprimatur of a legit news organization. 

Shouldn’t the headline read:

This is very similar to when religious people ask me “if you are an atheist, what keeps you from doing bad things?”

I think where white people get mixed up is what they’re supposed to FEEL about their privilege. They (we) too often assume it’s guilt or remorse that’s required. When, in reality, it’s kindness and civility and fairness. And most importantly sometimes, it requires outrage for a plight that’s not your own.

I don’t give a fuck what people who aren’t you did in the past. You are a sociopathic piece of human fucking garbage, period. Fuck you and everyone like you. People like you put the truth to the lie of American exceptionalism. We aren’t a nation of loving caring people. We’re a nation of selfish assholes like you.…

If you voted for Donald Trump, Fuck You.

You are confusing two different things.

You’re way discounting American nationalism at home - you’re seeing quite the resurgence in 2016. And nobody cares if you go out and buy American.

I would actually say that there is a way that US automakers could penetrate the Japanese market... and it’s the same way the Japanese automakers really, deeply have embedded themselves into the US market. Mind you, it would’ve only barely begun by the time Trump’s out of office (even if he’s in office for eight…

I know some Jalops don’t want to hear it. But as someone who is old enough to remember the brown clouds and inversions from the 70's and 80's anything that slows Trump from being able to allow automakers to sell guzzling spewers without checks or balances is completely alright with me.
