3rd gear - As they venture into the automotive world Samsung should partner with Ferrari to strengthen their brand identity.

If you can get one ignoramous to actually fact-check themselves or even just do a cursory google double-check, I consider that a win for humanity.

I’m not a Byrd scholar so can’t really opine knowledgeably about him. From what I’ve read, though, he seems to be given credit for actually reforming and voting accordingly. His reformation seems to have occurred early in his career.

You’re thinking of Robert Byrd (he was a Senator - I think - who had previous been in the Klan), not David Duke.

Matching outfits aside, of all the pseudo science devices/clothing in lifting you lead off by picking on the two (compression tights and footwear) that are actually shown to make a huge difference when lifting (especially the shoes).

Kazam....

This reminds me that the most asinine design decision EVER is the double whammy Mercedes badge on the grill AND the hood. Take it out back and put it out of its misery. Just glad you didn’t resort to that

Those are not equivalent. Giving the ball to a disabled kid =/= helping a marathon participant across the finish line. One is a simple case of charity since the disabled kid is not actually a competitor.

Don’t “write it off just because he sucks” but be upset that LAVAR Ball (not Lonzo) cost Lonzo millions of dollars. A parent subverting his child’s future is unforgivable.

It’s also missing any way of opening the front or back end of the car

The ability of a driver to properly handle a busy rotary should be the only thing on a drivers test. If you can’t figure it out, take a bus.

It’s hilarious to me that the state is going to pass a “bathroom bill” because trans folks are apparently a potential threat to our children but in the meantime “normal” boys and girls are actually raping each other in the bathrooms. It takes a special kind of cognitive dissonance to fear people using the bathroom of…

Both companies are not profitable yet. They are valued at many billions of dollars, yes, but have never turned a profit while they are under incredible pressure to do so in order to demonstrate the feasibility of their business model.

Counterpoint - Lyft definitely is the better boyfriend.

In all seriousness has anyone read the book? Is it any good? It gets 4.5 stars on Amazon....

HamNo typically my issue with your blogs isn’t that I disagree with you but instead that you don’t write compelling arguments, relying on straw man arguments, oversimplified data and/or - like in this case - a misunderstanding of any nuance of the subject matter you are covering.
