“it still leaves users paying way more for a ride than they should”

So, if you get a cab from A to B, and are told the fare will be approximately $X, but then add a 93 mile detour to the trip, the fare will still be $X? Interesting.

Unclear if this is a street-legal vehicle. If it is, then he should be able to park it wherever parking is legal. If it’s not, then he’s no more entitled to store it on the street than he is a shipping container or sacks filled with Beanie Babies.

90% agree, but it also depends. For some cars, there really aren’t that many options, so you might well find exactly what you want on the lot. A number of years ago, I bought an Accord Coupe. There were (as I recall) three trim levels, and two engine options for the top two levels. So, really, other than color, there…

if gamers do not understand that it takes programmers, artists, managers and much much more to make games then the industry has failed to communicate this.

Didn’t say it didn’t matter, just that it’s less important than car/team.

Statehood for DC makes little sense. For one thing, it’s tiny, and we have enough “wildly overrepresented small states” as it is. Logical thing would be to abolish DC as an entity, and just make it part of MD again.

Honest answer: find a part-time job where you are, and donate all the money you make to an established charity.

Excellent deal. At full price, these are OK suits, but at $340, excellent bang for the buck.

Honestly, matters less than powerplants/car at this point. Delta in vehicle performance between MB/Ferrari and Williams/Mclaren/etc. is substantially greater than the spread in driver talent.

Somehow (and it’s not at all clear how this happened), Trump’s head of FEMA is actually, well, competent, and apparently good at his job. I’m as shocked as you are, and it’s unclear how he slipped through the cracks, but there it is.

Something like 200 babies were named Khaleesi in the US last year.

Looks great - except for that chicken wire grille. So close, Hyundai, so close.

You know, I give him credit, it was the right call. After all, if he had stayed at third and the next guy up walked, the Mets would have left themselves open for a force at home.

Actually, no, they’re not. They’re not (unlike in the US) overwhelmingly the descendents of slaves. Secondly, abolition happened much earlier, there wasn’t a civil war about it. Victims of institutionalized racism? Absolutely. On the same scale as the US? Nope.

It’s really not surprising, simple natural selection. All the short Dutchmen drowned long ago.

Modded S2000s make me cry. It’s line people think the Mona Lisa needed bling.

I would happily pay $14.99 for a Showtime PPV special entitled “Dame Judi Dench Picks Up Her Dry Cleaning.”

Half of the PCs in the world run Windows 7. It’s still the dominant OS for corporate environments.

So, basically, it’s unwatchable on half the desktop machines out there (Windows 7).
