I bought a 2.5 year old 2011 335i sedan with sport package and nav off lease and still under warranty for $24,000. Not sure if similar deals can still be had, but 300HP > 180HP all day.

Also, from the article entitled: “DO SAILING VESSELS ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY OVER WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES?” by the Director Vessel Traffic Service Puget Sound, U. S. Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound.

Having spent years racing yachts in Puget Sound (where this occurred), I can assure you that all the sensible folks stay the eff away from the ferries. And the cargo ships/tankers/barges. Right of way, shmright of way. I like not dying of hypothermia when my boat gets crushed like a fly and I’m tossed in the drink.

Correction: electricity, indeed, is not magic. Magnetism, on the other hand, can only be explained as the work of the devil. Ask your neighborhood theoretical physicist why magnetic monopoles don’t exist, and watch his head explode.

Screw that. I wanna be the guy who send OUT the message saying “wanna fly jets and drive Bentleys.”

The downward wage pressure caused by dismantling of unions (in my…

As a white, male, 1%er (well, 2%er really), I thought this essay was great. And horrifically true. Things are obviously broken when view from my perspective too, but I’m far too young to have broken the system that began to be dismantled before I was in diapers.

I’m a cyclist (as in bicycles), so I’m usually going quite a bit slower than a motorcycle. But we have similar visibility and vulnerability issues. I’ve gone down hard enough to require a new helmet probably half a dozen times for various reasons (twice my fault: I race too). Cyclists that don’t wear helmets are…

I went to a large public mainstream urban high school. My English class one year read nothing but women and POC... for an entire year. In 1995. Kids these days are hilariously and undeservedly self-congratulatory for nothing. Is there, like, some merit badge for not reading white men I wasn’t aware of? If so, I want…

Ha, high school parking lot. Best views in Boulder!
