I would have to assume. So if this thing goes 150 mph like he claims the cars will have to start slowing down 2-3 miles before the end of the tunnel to give time for the car in front to clear, and that’s when the cascading backups will start. I can’t see how this is anything workable for a tunnel that isn’t something…

Came here to point out the massive traffic jams that would form starting a mile away from the entry to these tunnels as one car gets in every 20 seconds, see you’re on the case, leaving happy.

If only because it scans better may I suggest “à la recherche de grosses foufounes”?

We accept you. One of us.

Re rugby: don’t underestimate the TV issues caused by a sport with 40-minute halves and no breaks. Yes the ball goes out of bounds but when it does then often there’s a premium on getting it back in play fast, there’s timing on the conversions after a try, etc. As in: no good timing for commercials. Americans learn to…

If I couldn’t have my dream of watching Gary Bettman’s head explode from a final between the powerhouse media markets of Raleigh and St. Louis, at least give me St. Louis so 50% of his head will explode.

It was a nice touch that Dany never sat in the Iron Throne.

I have a Traeger, a Big Green Egg, and a gas grill (Saber). I use them all regularly and for different purposes. I won’t tell you whether or not to buy one or any of them, but I will tell you how I use them and what I perceive to be the pros and cons and maybe that can help.

Great question. The product comes in a package that looks for all the world like it’s vacuum-sealed, and like it should be vacuum-sealed, but because of the tears that are in the packaging it’s not. You only realize that it’s not when you thaw it. As in: it’s not that it comes from the shipper in a state where you…

Every time GMG promotes this content I will post a comment that, based upon several months as a customer, this is a waste of money and no one should sign up for it. The packaging all had microtears in it so that when I would thaw it, it would leak all over my fridge. That also of course means freezerburn can get…

The NHL taking all possible steps to avoid the ratings powerhouse that would be a St. Louis - Carolina final? Or even a St. Louis - Boston final? So as to get a final between two good hockey markets with large population bases? Completely impossible to imagine.

Fun fact: Florida has very aggressive homesteading laws that stipulate that, when a person declares bankruptcy, their principal residence is immune from seizure. As a result an awful lot of scam artists live there and, instead of putting the money into the thing they said they would put the money into, instead put the…

I have no idea why he would be furious but am giving you a star just for reminding me of how glorious it is when that happens.

This is a John Mulaney joke.

I’m here only to point out that the word Cholmondeley is the most English word possible because it’s pronounced Chum-Lee.

I love this site and all of its writers but after this piece I am almost mathematically certain that Gwen is a superior being. An oatmeal cookie is the punishment your mom gives you for asking for a better dessert. Auntie Annies is the place I’m going the day before a colonoscopy to make sure my doctor gets maximum…

You have just described the entire business model of Silicon Valley.
