I had 100 section seats near the tunnel at a Pistons game a couple years ago. One of their cheerleaders got injured during a show and was bleeding from her nose. We were close enough to see the damage when she walked past back to the locker room. Cheerleading is no joke.

I’d completely forgotten this VERY uncomfortable scene.

The only reason I knew about this before watching this particular video by Tom Scott is because a new sidewalk was being installed near me and the ‘bumpy’ stuff still had its plastic sheeting on for a couple weeks with a company label last Summer. It was made by an accessibility company which caused me to investigate…

I thought I noticed a difference but, I’m sighted so, I’ve never paid enough attention to determine for sure.

That’s the problem. The dangerous person isn’t so much the blatant racist bigot, it’s the moderate people around them that don’t say anything about their racism and bigotry.

The tires have the extra circle around them that means unused. So, this infographic is saying that unused tires last 10 years from manufacture. I’m guessing that the synthetic rubber just won’t keep longer than that.

I know Michigan does. In fact, licensed repair shops have to have it posted in large print out in the waiting room. The only way they don’t have to give it back is if they need to return it to the manufacturer as part of a warranty return and even then they are required to allow you to inspect the part before they…

I’ve always been taken into the garage and shown what’s broken even without asking first. I don’t know if that’s a state thing or not but, it’s happened at every shop big and small that I’ve ever been at.

I guess I’ve always been at the right places. I’ve always been taken into the garage and shown what’s broken even without asking first.

Clinton may have managed to work with a Republican Congress but, was that before or after the two government shutdowns in his first term or the impeachment proceedings in his second?

There’s only two countries on this planet with larger populations than the United States. One is totalitarian (the People’s Republic of China) and the other is a Democracy as flawed as ours (if not worse) who’s in the middle of an occasionally warm cold war worse than ours was due to proximity (India). We aren’t…

A good fix for this would be increasing the size of the House of Representatives and giving each state three Senators rather than two.

The problem with segmentation is a state like mine (Michigan). Trump won my state by ~12,000 votes. There are many other similar splits. We just don’t have any good lines to split this country along anymore.

Which fragment(s) will control the nuclear arsenal? or the navy? Outside intervention would risk global thermonuclear war in the situation you just laid out. In fact, the separate fragments may nuke each other which would likely scare others away from intervening.

One state (Maine) has ranked choice (now). They voted for it at the same time as the Presidential election.

Non-votes are literally votes for no one. If the non-voters had decided to vote for Johnson or Stein neither of them would have won but, they still wouldn’t have voted for Trump. Forcing people to vote strategically is part of why so many people simply opt out of politics now since they dislike the choices so much.

If Congress passes a law (and then overrides the Presidential veto) saying that the President can’t do whatever a particular Executive Order says then sure that’s a check right there. However, judicial review is much more powerful in these cases.

I’m a life and health insurance agent (part-time) so this is literally a job for me. It’s hard not to scare people away by screaming “Really!” when I hear something like that. Fortunately, I prospect in a generally ‘blue’ area so most of the people I deal with either know that these are the same thing or don’t have…

I often go to passive aggression to avoid active aggression. I learned when I was quite young that active aggression is often illegal while passive aggression is only annoying. In short, I’d rather make a sarcastic comment or write a note than hit a person and deal with the authorities.

The difference is that California has a history of getting not quite well thought out referendums on the ballot. Although, after reading up on this one, the 2018 referendum would alter the state constitution to remove its adherence to the United States and authorize a vote for independence in 2019 that would only be…
