Lazy post Ethan. I missed the first round of articles on this, and there is no recap of any sort, much less commentary. You linked to the 1st story, but there’s no way to tell if there has been any updates on this story you didn’t write-up or if this is the only one. I’m not trying to be a hater, just vaguely confused…

It seems odd that this article doesn’t address the fact that the line would be out nights and weekends also, if it was using the original plan. The real idea is trading twice s many closed nights for open days..

My ex has had some pricey shop bills on hers. It was a stud until it hit 70k miles, then had a wave of little stuff like window motors, hoses popping, and random fuzes going. No issue as she had a warranty. So, imho, it’s a great car to get with coverage. Most after market warranties on used cars are 7-12% sticker,…

So i just bought a newish (19k Miles) Ford Fiesta, mainly bc it was well equipped and had a 100k mile bumper to bumper. At only 2600 lbs and 120hp it’s actually fun to drive, like an early Miata (My old Cruze had 160hp but on 3650 lbs). Thing is, everyone I show it to seems to view it as “Oh man, he must really be…

I was a poor college student, maybe 19 years old, and I rented a max equipped Pontiac G6 to drive to Schwagstock, a music festival. I honestly was so young and poor that I felt the thing was made of gold. Years later, after I had made some money and lived some years, I got to drive a friends and.. Shit if that wasn’t…

I’d buy it for $25k.

This is the perfect game for Xbox Game Pass. Total win-win.

Why does no one mention the two random dudes repelling down the side?

It’s not just the purchase cost. Most of these facilities have massive expenses, from property taxes to insanely expensive mandatory insurance policies. I saw a local dirt track for sale here in Kansas that was $800k to buy, but required $500k a year minimum for the insurance and taxes, and that’s without actually…

I worry about Blizard. Every single one of their big games is dying, from WoW and Diablo to Overwatch. If even one of the next iterations bombs, they will be in serious trouble. Overwatch is the real worry, IMHO, because despite all the pro-scene talk, I really don’t know many people who still regularly play for hours…

Check out this months video game sales, Nintendo has 4 in the top 20, AND that includes Mario Kart 8 (old cheap games keep still selling!). They also have enough cash reserves to post a height of Wii-U level loss for the next 28 years. My point, Nintendo is far better at making money than any fan gives them credit for.

Let’s all take a moment and remember that Australia has only 24 million citizens. To put that into perspective, Sri Lanka, Yemen and The Netherlands, have about the same, while Bangladesh has 160 Million. Basically all of Australia has the same pop as the NYC and LA metro areas. Point being, Australia is MUCH smaller…

This won’t be a serious issue until major chains start buying it. The vast majority of oil changes are done by places like dealerships and Jiffy Lube, not by owners in their driveways (Sorry car fans, but it’s true).

Good for Wolfenstein 2! With PC and Xbox it has to have sold over 3 million copies, which is awesome for them! Proof that AA games can stand along AAA.

They hate me. That’s all I can think of Bungie now that I’ve gotten back into Destiny 2. When I quit,I had every legendary weapon and armor for the Warlock. Now, I can barely get a single purple Engram, never have enough cores to upgrade my favorite gear (it’s all stuck at like 360), and am back wearing blues. It…

An after-market warranty on a used vehicle (less than 5 years old) typically costs 7% the price of the car. I highly advise this on any car model seen as anything under perfect reliability. I just got a buyback Ford Fiesta from the whole Ford transmission saga (yes laugh at me for owning a Fiesta). It has 19k miles,…

Wait, 3% for 2 million Euros? So roughy $150million US for the whole company? Shit, Ford spends that like every minute developing a new car. I’m surprised no one has tried to force a buyout just for the PR of putting their badge on it and sticking them at auto shows..

This entire stadium issue has an easy fix. All we need is a federal law barring any level of government from engaging in any public-private partnerships that the GAO doesn’t estimate to be profitable (with opportunity cost) to the most local residents. The GAO doesn’t fuck around, has no aversion to spiking government…

Hahahahaha Do you know anything at all about how other professional sports unionized? Take a hard look at the UFC, as it’s going through the same thing. The NFLPA took decades to build, and many great players never saw a dime. The real problem is that you have to get the ultra tier guys to give up money. As in, to get…

I’m fairly sure my gf would have immediately broken my legs with a baseball bat. I’m dead serious, that girl doesnt fucking play.
