“So it’s better for a company that’s burning money to burn money faster, go out of business faster, and there to be no jobs left at all for them?”

“Doused”. Unless you were watching a very different video than I was.

Lol. American ignorance at its finest.

A centrally planned economy is not a requirement of socialism. You might want to try reading a book some time.

It also has a near-cradle to grave social safety net and extensive government-provided services. Or, you know, socialism.

I promise you it is, but you could live to be 300 years old and still never find a reason to travel there and confirm it for yourself.

“so..i didn’t dig through all the comments extensively, to see if it was mentioned..”

Nah man. I mean, I wouldn’t call them great, but if you live in an area where you can’t (or shouldn’t) drive your good car year round, they’re perfect winter beaters. I’ve picked up several for under CA$1500, they last a couple of winters without any major issues, and eventually the transmission dies and I get another…

I currently drive a 4x4 truck but spent years driving beat-up FWD cars before this. You’re absolutely correct. I live in a city on the Canadian prairies and if it ever got bad enough that my Taurus with Blizzaks wasn’t able to handle it, it was already well beyond unsafe to be on the road at all. The only times I’ve…

It says a lot about how much I liked this match (and how tired I was) that I forgot about that until you mentioned it. And yeah, he looked unbelievably stupid. He looked like a shitty cosplayer at some D-grade local comiccon, not (arguably) the best pro wrestler in the world.

This might be kind of a hot take, but I couldn’t buy Jay White as a badass calling himself Switchblade. I have no prior context of his work to go on, but he looked too much like a literal babyface. He looked like if he saw an actual knife he would piss himself. Maybe this is less of a big deal in Japan, god knows…

In my experience, unless you’re talking about travelling opposition fans, out-of-town fans usually refers to people who live in a team’s “territory” but far enough away that it’s a bit of a trip to come in for a game. For them, the proximity to hotels is not an issue, they’ll probably drive home after the game, so…

I mean, the Icy Hot Stuntaz are beyond awful, but at least there’s some comedy value there.

I regret to inform you that this is also terrible.

I didn’t really pay much attention to the headline till I saw your comment, but yeah, I see the joke now. I think it’s a play on suburban Long Islanders who move to the city because it’s cool and they’re totally going to make it as an artist/writer/musician/whatever and then move back home when they’re broke and have…

Cornette frequently has some valid points even if I don’t agree entirely, but getting him to blow a gasket always has some entertainment value.

No, to keep the payments down they get 84-month loans and wind up owing more than the vehicle is worth by year two.

I watch and enjoy the CFL, so I’m ok with sub-NFL-practice-squad players. ThoroughHenry also pointed out that college football is full of those types and people still watch. It’s still possible to have entertaining games with players doing fun shit in lower-level leagues, but you do have to set expectations…

It wasn’t intended to, just pointing out that your comparison with GM was misplaced. GM needed a clean-sheet redesign to make decent power and still maintain regulatory compliance. The Explorer 302 was probably the upper limit of what Ford could do with the Windsor and still, say, sell it in California. The early…
