Okay, why do Americans (and Canadians, for that matter) insist on referring to “Brits” when they talk about people from England, and the “English” when talking about people from the UK?

Also missing from the right-wing link that kept being pushed in this thread is the fact that CDC report also said, “The 2005 National Research Council study found no persuasive evidence from available studies that passage of right to carry laws decrease or increase violent crime.”

While Canada is getting some deserved positive publicity of late, it should also be pointed out that Ontario just elected Doug Ford as premiere. Doug Ford, Rob Ford’s less unbalanced, more evil brother. Doug Ford, the caffeine-free Donald Trump. Right now only 2/3 of Canada get to point at the US and laugh…

And what should he do after the Daytona 500? My vote would be for the Dakar Rally.

Among some circles it’s famous for the 1979 science fiction board game, The Creature That Ate Sheboygan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Creature_That_Ate_Sheboygan

“As production (and anticipated production) of electric cars ramps up, so has the demand for nickel.”

“But there were a couple of close battles that could’ve been affected by the mishap, even if Vettel was in his own zip code for the win.”

For me it was a 1987 Plymouth Horizon with a 2.2 liter 4 speed. The expensive halogen lamps went out in 6 to 12 months. The voltage regulator went after 2 years. The cables holding the side view mirror into its housing rusted out and the mirror had to be glued in place with epoxy. The “Expo” sticker on the back window…

I went to the page. Those stats don’t mean what you say they mean. It does not mean that your chance of death without seat belts is essentially the same as those with seat belts, or worse, that seat belts are more likely to kill you.

It took some digging on Google, but I found the Associated Press article that describes his apology. From the A/P:

If you haven’t listened to it, there’s an episode of Patrick Wyman’s “Tides of History” podcast where he discusses Columbus and da Gama. Wyman explains that while Columbus thought he could hit India by going west, there was also a theory at the time — which Columbus knew about — that there was an undiscovered…

I’m a Scottish-born Canadian-American. Taking exchange rates into account, the correct answer is 6.5.

Point of order: hockey’s not yet done for the summer. The Calder Cup is still running, for those of us fortunate enough to get to see it (thank you, Fox Sports Southwest; sorry the family didn’t get to see Texas defeat Toronto last night, as we were holding out slim hope of a Vegas miracle, but we appreciate you…

“You had a chance to actually open this persons mind and give them insight into something they don’t understand, just like Kodithic did(thank you btw Kodithic), but you chose to go that route.”

Assuming Kelly is arguing in good faith (and that’s a huge assumption), she is equating Barr’s comments with Samantha Bee’s because, fundamentally, she believes that the offensive part of racism is calling people names.

Geez, not one of them went with “sweetened condensed”?

When I moved down to Louisiana, I asked my to-be wife how many mufflers she had gone through on her 8 year old Mitsubishi. She answered, ”Gone through?” By contrast, in Ontario I had an 18 month old Honda CR-V where the tailpipe had rusted off. Salt plays havoc on brakes, too.

OMG, if you’re not watching it already you have to watch next week’s episode of AMC’s The Terror. It’s all about white people serving white people, in every sense of the word.

They’re not in it to win it. They’re not trying to convert you. It’s all a power trip, like any other form of bullying. They just want to upset you until they get bored or they get booted off a site (in which case they wear their banishment as a badge of honor).

Yep! Here it is. This isn’t a new device, either. One of the other buttons is for Rdio, which filed for bankruptcy in late 2015.
