It’s true, rugby is known as the pussiest of all sports

F-16s have a higher ceiling, longer fuel capacity, and were probably already in the air (or at least warmed up for quick scramble).

Has a good CMS system ever been made?

I was wondering about this. If AP makes a change to a story like this, do they send a notification to papers that might be using it? It seems odd (unethical, maybe?) for them, at least, to do updates of a story instead of retractions/updates.

Iron Rangers are awesome, but if you try to use them on slick, get ready to fall on your ass. Flat sole good for dry, not much else.

I generally like Jedi, but I do agree that from it you start to see the pathos from which the next three sprung from. Especially if you count the ‘90s revamp, although that feels like cheating. The Ewoks themselves aren’t terrible, but they are the first step down the path of Jar Jar.

The blows my mind that this article is not just “Hitting someone with your car is not cool”, and all of the comments are not just “Agreed”

You haven’t lived until you’ve fenced with live wood

We actually do almost the exact same drill at my fencing club every once in awhile, although we’re standing and using fencing footwork. Even with the same looking straight up thing. Stuff about reactions and judging distance, etc.

Cricket had a similar thing happen. Its version of being on base is having some part of the batter’s body or bat grounded behind a line. With the introduction of replay, people were getting called out because, after having crossed the line, were temporarily in the air while in mid-stride, and being (technically)…

He’s a well-regarded career radio and TV(?) presenter, so he at least has the experience.

No matter what the size is, it’s still 33lbs over the design goal.

Syria was already desperately dependent on Russian support even before this. But now Russia has boots on the ground there, and is facing the possibility of another quagmire that they faced in Afganistan in the 80s and US faced in the 00s. It’s not a fait accompli that anybody comes out of Syria good.

I know this man’s pain. I muffed two chances at foul balls at a minor league game this year, the night of my greatest shame. Both popups within an arm’s length, but I couldn’t get both hands to it.

Where we call Zeus a wuss for disguising as animals to fuck all of the ancient hotties.

Do we assume that was planned? The other receiver was awfully close and he seemed to be expecting that...

You’d have to unpack and reinstall the tooling, but my non-expert thought is that the bigger problem is getting the people building them back up to speed. Planes get cheaper the more of them you make, and production lines get faster as they get experience, and it could very well take a dozen runs before things are…

You’ve got that exactly backwards, y’know

We’re in the final months before Rio 2016 and entering the last season before qualification. Which means it’s time to start paying attention to sports you pay no heed to three out of every four years. What’s your sport, and which one is going to make news in the US this time around?

Even if the article included footnoted versions of every relevant statue and precedent for each state — which would likely require being an expert in every state’s statues and precedents on the topic — it’d still probably have to be asterisked to hell with “yeah, buts”. I’ve always looked at these as: here’s the basic…
