This is exciting tech. Curious how they overcome additional friction losses and added inertia as well as how they will produce a reliable product (this is a lot of additional functional, breakable parts).

So can we collectively accept your resignation?

I guess what makes him smile is having a cool car or having a car he always dreamed of or the perception of other people’s approval.

Some Jalop contributing writer responded to such a comment with a very simple statement (I’m paraphrasing): “drive whatever makes you smile.”

Eh there’s middle ground here. While Kap’s National Anthem protest has been largely effective at promoting a national conversation about race, that doesn’t mean everything he says has merit or is well informed. The “super predator” comment is a good example of the fact that - while we may agree with his opinions on…

Given the opportunity to have him address the issue I’m urprised they didn’t pass it to someone else instead.

For once I 1000000% agree with a Formerly-known-as-gawker” take!!!!!!!!!!!!

HamNo - it’s worth pointing out that this is exactly what an investment bank does (underwrite equity terms). Point isn’t really inventing anything new but they are definitely making the resource more available to “everyone.” The catch is two-fold, though: 1) they only underwrite deals they like, which makes sense but…

A slightly more nuanced point than my other post: your argument is that journalists need to post things like the medical records because “credibility” and because the public should be able to make up their own mind based on primary sources. I think that the reality is just the opposite. Part of the reason perceived…

You know, now that Gawker is done and the Hogan suit is resolved Deadspin can drop the whole “if it’s ‘newsworthy’ then anything goes” stance the whole staff seems to be blindly applying.

I have no love for Harbaugh but the presumption here - that Harbaugh is using the death as a means to gain control over players - is disingenuous or at least isn’t substantiated. You may disagree with the method but the idea of helping young players deal with a new lifestyle isn’t new or wrong. You have a bunch of 22…

I am not here to express my opinions on certain sects of Islam but basically I don’t disagree with you.

But to Ibtihaj it is. Their relative observance is not the question. Their observance of practices that do not align with a sport’s norm or - in the case of an American Muslim athlete - America’s norm is what is significant here.

“The underlying issue here” is nuanced and multifaceted. What you call patriarchal oppression she might call religious expression. I’m not saying who is right and wrong or that one issue trumps the other. I’m just saying that both of these Muslim athletes are important and distinctly different symbols and the author’s…

While I generally agree with the blog, it is an apples and slightly different apples comparison. To use an analogy, it would be the difference between highlighting a Jewish athlete vs highlighting a Jewish athlete who does not compete on Shabbat.

Crude prices (regulated) don’t necessarily affect local prices so directly in short term. Pump prices haven't gone up here either (also knocking on wood).

Agree. But it’s also not just about direct cost. Call it “market uncertainty”. Changes in market trends and market anomalies drive buyers away from large expenditures. Note that housing market also “stalled” (I use the term loosely because it's much more complicated than automotive sales but there was a blip in the…

Ronald Reagan agrees with this plan!!!!

Interesting stuff. Curious if this also correlates to gas prices slowly starting to creep back up. Consumers want to see what's happening with fuel cost before making a decision.

Judging by the condition of my stuff I just received from CA, that has to be my mover’s truck.
