This is how you know we don’t have enough testing yet (plus of course the high positivity rates). Given the importance of stopping the spread, they should be testing anyone who has any of the symptoms.

More importantly, it also went in the Saab Sonett (after Saab decided that a tiny 3-cylinder two-stroke wasn’t actually appropriate for a sports car)

So as I see it, he has:

Of course a bubble really never would have worked for baseball, at least for the ~3.5 months they plan to be playing. That’s just way to long to keep people isolated from family and friends, especially when you are talking about more and bigger teams.

You would be wrong. NYC routinely pays out somewhere on the order of $200M per year to settle lawsuits against NYPD. And it really doesn’t lead to change. If you want change, you need those at the very least to hit the police department budget, so NYPD has to choose between losing funding for things they want, and…

Heh, well Michigan doesn’t have them every other year either...

Meanwhile, Michigan doesn’t even have annual safety inspections...

It’s easy enough to send to Jalopnik HQ, and it’s pretty easy to find Tracy’s place if you want him to pass it on (or if you think he’d like his own copy!)

Oh, I should also mention that while I’ve been calling the car the Changli NEMECA, an acronym for New Energy Mini Electric Car for Adults, as it was shown on the Alibaba site, I just found the original Changli site that seems to call the car the Freeman!

You can’t literally get away with alleged murder if you’re a U.S. diplomat in the UK anymore, sorry.

Well you aren’t allowed in America anymore. Don’t feel too bad though, the place is sort of going to shit anyway.

The police frequently suck, it’s true, but the solution is to fix the police, rather than to take away useful tools.

Personally, I like that police can quickly identify stolen and uninsured vehicles. I’d like it more if they actually acted on those finds though, I get the sense that they are largely ignored.

I think that the richest country in the world can easily afford to subsidize workers who can’t work while we get this thing under control.

They can backpack around Europe! You know if the Europeans let our plagued asses in...

That of course does not mean that we can’t require them to have a duty to protect, just that they don’t automatically have one. All we have to do is pass the laws.

Yep, even before it was co-opted in opposition to Black Lives Matter, this was the problem with the Thin Blue Line flag. It speaks to a broken worldview that guarantees that the police will see themselves apart from the community, mistrusting it, and feeling like extreme force is required to keep things from spiraling…

This isn’t at all about making sure the kids get educated unfortunately. That’s a concern, but really it wouldn’t be a disaster to delay.

I don’t know if rubbing it in is the best idea, but it’s worth noting that while we have 10 bases named after Confederates, there are only a few named for Union officers: Forts Meade, Custer (who is problematic in his own way), Sill, Carson (who won a battle against the Confederacy, but then spent most of the Civil…

538 actually ranks Fox’s polling pretty decently:
