Oh ffs...now I learned something! Since this is the internet, that was not part of time wasting Jalopnik check in plan. Similarly, I’m not going to confirm the veracity of your info.

Oh, ffs. I’ll cite some actual numbers to provide context.

Here’s a study published in the journal Health Physics, measuring radioactivity of phosphogypsum piles. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1850391/.

The concentration of Radon-226 was found about 1.1 Becquerel per gram. One Becquerel is a single radioactive decay…

Very good point. The Wire had 5 stories and 5 seasons. Ended because the story was done as opposed to just making episodes for the sake of making episodes. Unfortunate that the magnitude of shows that DON’T know how to end well is equal to the magnitude of how good your point is. Sigh.

Ditto. Also...going to look for This Fool which blunts pain of RD ending. Thanks!

Well said. I agree catching up with Carmy, Sydney and all at once (among other points made...especially the sliding scale point). I binged the whole thing in a couple of days. Which...I like to do. Shoot me. Saloni’s (and other commentor’s) points are valid though upon reading. When I first read the headline, I was…

Is it weird to say that while I usually agree, I kind of like the whole season being out at once for The Bear? I haven’t finished it, but I’ve been watching a couple eps at a time, at my own pace, and will probably be done this weekend. And if it’s anything like season 1 I’m in for a couple rewatches, which I’ll space…

“because our binge brain is broken”

I’ll be sad to be without this show, but I think they’ve got the right idea. Season 1, they have a goal driven by grief and encounter hardship in working toward it. Season 2, they battle through their personal low points but come together to achieve their goal from season 1. If season 3 is about how they come to terms …

Bittersweet. One of the best shows on TV 

I think you proved I didn’t!

Just a technical note for those who don’t speak nuance - I said meh to a point. And I acknowledged how crazy story was. Meh was NOT a response to what happened to her. It was horrible, bad, blah blah blah. Situation sucks. Response by Lyft sucks. Meh...I’ll use Uber. So...meh...to a point. Nuance explained. 

I think you misspelled dicktater.

according to the chuds in the greys, yes.

STOP USING LOGIC! Are you insane? 

I took an Uber to the likely outcome of this article. Which is...sucks for her. Not fair, not good, absolutely terrible thing happened. But wanna bet on how much changes after this event? I’ve got a million on nothing.

I mean...you’re not wrong. Totally F’ed up. But...corporations are bad. Water is wet. Reality necessitates Meh as a response to the big picture situation. What happened to her isn’t meh but how will 99% of people respond to this story? I’ll still roll the dice on ride shares rather than get a DUI. Or pay for downtown…

or maybe they could vet their drivers. maybe get less human traffickers, rapists, and other sex pests driving women around

Did you perchance take an Uber as far away from the point of this article as was possible?

JFC. Woman involved in likely attempted kidnapping and the company supposedly in charge of keeping her safe bans her and says nothing of the alleged would-be kidnapper, and your response is: “meh” and try another company already known to have safety issues.

That’s a lot of money and effort put into making 1 gallon of ice cream.
