You’re wrong about that bit. Ships routinely drop goods from Asia and continue on to the mainland. Foreign flag just can’t load goods from Hawaii bound for the mainland on the stop over. High prices are due to retailers capitalizing on the isolated market. They use the Jones Act as an excuse. Foreign fleets pay…

Boats are the cars of the sea

I didn’t think humanitarian aid after a massive disaster was “political bullshit”, but apparently even helping other human beings is now partisan.

The Jones Act is terrible. It’s a major reason that Puerto Rico is bankrupt. The island could be a major shipping and trading hub, but it’s precluded from earning a living. Then what is supposed to drive its economy? Tourism alone isn’t enough.

And just like that, Simone just monsterhandled everyone’s 2018 world championships hopes like so:

1) Yankees are at fault for not extending the netting. It’s the obvious and right thing to do.

Also, all these “no-one-cares-about-the-Rams” photos are at kickoff when half the crowd is still trying to get through security.

Yeah, they totally do! Just ask USC, who managed to draw almost 85,000 fans to their football stadium, exceeding the combined attendance of both the Rams and Chargers.

For those of us in SD, I’m actually surprised at how fast we’re getting (have gotten?) over the Chargers and the NFL. Turns out life post-football ain’t all that bad! I’m guessing history will point to this period as the beginning of the end for the NFL’s popularity, combined of course with CTE, wife beatings and…

It’s literally an MLS stadium, home to the LA Galaxy.

How is this more convenient than a vending machine? You literally need to download a proprietary app before you use it.

The city’s permanent residents should really adjust to the needs of the casual, pants-pissing visitor.

I don’t have a problem with vending machines or having them in more places. My problem is more with this actual pitch for trying on purpose to get rid of bodegas and acting like their idea is this new amazing thing when really it’s something that’s always existed.

Let’s dissect this for a moment.

I think we’re still at the point where landing safely is a much bigger priority than where you land.

“after refusing to violate hospital policy”

It should have been called ‘Competitive Gaming’ from the start. Even the moniker “E-Sports” is dripping in desperate hopes of validation.  

Yeah I’m not keen on it, either. Physical athletes who compete at the Olympic level are at the absolute peak of human performance. They endure intense training regimens requiring months of diet restrictions and grueling multiple-hour sessions performing at their very best.
I just don’t see esports being on that same…

Why would esports want to be in the Olympics?
