Meh. My cousin was a cheerleader for an NBA team. Nobody coerced her to do it. She loved it, otherwise she wouldn’t have done it. Yeah, it’s a n=1, but calling it “exploitation” is a real eyeroller. This is beyond even a rich world problem, it’s a “young, beautiful, healthy, popular, world-is-my-oyster rich world…

I was on a flight that got hit on ascent, it sounded like the engine blew up, which is what I first thought. It knocked over a flight attendant (not sure if he got zapped or if he was just surprised). The plane didn’t budge or get disturbed in any way, it was just a loud fucking explosion sound.

Agree. They should keep miserable shitholes just as they are.

Like we don’t have enough people in jail already, we want to lockup people who do their job poorly. The reality that this is even a thing just speaks to the American insanity of jailing people. You can extrapolate this to just about anybody involved in safety. Fireman didn’t get to the scene in time? Manslaughter.…

I also have the Galant from back in the late 90’s when I was in college. I added some pieces to it so it wraps around me like a U (with a long stretch of table on the bottom of the U). It’s fantastic, has held up to constant use, and you can still buy stuff that matches it. This wins hands down.

I’m not surprised that plans to invade Iraq were made prior to 9/11, since the sanctions from the FIRST gulf war threatened use of force if Saddam didn't comply (which he didn't). 9/11 was not the reason for the second war, but just made minds more focused on the WMD threat.

People often forget the circumstances that led to the second gulf war. It’s not like they went in guns blazing after 9/11. There was a long debate among members of the UN to address how Iraq was flouting the WMD UN resolutions. None were opposed to force, it was a question of timing and whether to give sanctions more…

I went on a splurge and ordered a bunch of t-shirts and undershirts from Tommy John. I was disappointed in the underwear, they are starting to wear out with holes after only a year or so. The underwear it replaced was literally 10 years old, and I could still probably be wearing them today. I do love the t-shirts…

Showing it for Minecraft is a good sign - hopefully this means it’s aimed at consumers/gamers rather than as a high priced piece of kit for professional 3D modelers.

The Club. Disappeared after the 90’s along with Melrose Place, grunge, and the Supra.

Everybody knows that in this country you can drunk drive off a bridge, stagger away while your passenger mistress drowns, and continue an illustrious career still beloved by your party faithful.

Actually, I hate the turn signal stalk on the other side. It’s 100% hidden by the steering wheel. I’ve had the car since 2010, and to this day I’ve never seen what’s etched on it - I still fumble around with the wiper controls. If you look at the pic, when you are seated you just don’t see the stalk.

I really like 4:3 aspect ratio in portrait for side monitors - typically I have reference contracts, documents, or web content open on the side, and my content creation display in the center which is widescreen. However, there are no modern 4:3 monitors that I’m aware of. My ancient 1280x1024 Dell monitors got the…

I’m sure they will be a fortune, but Eizo is coming out with a new square display perfect as side monitors. I actively searched for a modern 4:3 display so I could have the same arrangement - large widescreen in the middle and two document monitors on the sides (4:3), but you just can’t find them anywhere.

A President is technically the person in charge of the company, so is a superior position. CEO and President are sometimes the same person (as in my company), but don’t have to be.

What we need is a modern cab over van. To hell with safety.

I had an older Boxster S and tracked down a Becker unit in Germany that would allow me to use bluetooth for the phone and integrate my iPod. It didn't say Porsche on it, but Becker matches the Porsche interior with the same fonts, buttons, etc. The only problem was finding a home for the mic for the phone, there was…

Serious question - has rape on college campus been shown to be more prevalent than that of similar age groups who don't go to college? I'd like to see studies which are corrected for employment, alcohol, drug use, etc. I'd wager the problem is alcohol abuse, not necessarily the types of people at college.

Employees are typically at will employees. This means getting fired for them not liking the look on your face. If they want to publish a policy that says you can't talk about pineapples during work, then you better not talk about pineapples. It's as simple as that.
