Unfortunately, Manchin is almost locked in when it comes to a Democrat winning a Senate seat in WV. The goal, as you correctly stated, is to avoid having him be the necessary swing vote for anything budget-related that we can use reconciliation to pass, thereby avoiding the filibuster.

Outside of Georgia, we…

You’re quite right.

There’s also the issue in that Mercedes has never been good when it comes to their halo vehicles retaining value. You combine that with the fact that some people saw the SLR as merely a harder, faster, more expensive SL and not something truly unique aside from styling, and it made the car and the…

The SLR, to this day, is one of my favorite cars almost solely because of the looks. I’m sure due to various new safety regulations it’s unlikely we’d see another car designed like it (particularly the front), and for that reason alone, it will have a place in my heart.

And for what it’s worth, the SLR did one thing…

The only cars in that category when the SLR dropped was the 575m, the Continental GT, and the DB9/Vanquish. The SLR was faster and lighter than all the others, but for that you paid 2-3x as much for one.

Honestly, the fundamental issue with the SLR isn’t even something that is it’s fault. It’s that in the minds of…

Having not played competitive football in years, here goes: Head coach, assistant coach, QB coach, special teams coach, line coach, linebackers coach, receivers coach, defensive backs coach, and maybe a special teams coach.

Also, with this being high school, there might be less individual coaches for the specific…

Not to defend Chauvin, but unless that 2017 case (or the incident) was introduced during Chauvin’s murder trial, there’s a possibility the prosecution can’t bring it up.

Sentencing hearings usually don’t allow the admittance of new evidence unless the court outright permits it at their own discretion, and even then,…

It wasn’t merely that Dahmer was famous, it was that Dahmer repeatedly did things while locked up that specifically antagonized and weirded out his fellow inmates. He just so happened to run into one who 1. Wouldn’t put up with that shit and 2. Already had a life sentence without parole so didn’t care about any…

While I can’t speak for manga (or digitally published literature in general), I for one and many other people have used piracy/torrents as a means to experience games which might have had a small single-player component but were mostly known for their multiplayer aspects. This is especially true during our younger…

It’s hard to describe them, but there essentially leather capris with a bit of elasticity near the knee that allows them to stretch much more than a fully-leather pant would. They taper near the lower leg so they give the effect of more recent sweatpants/jogging pants versus the classical, looser fit of previous…

It’s not a scam, it’s merely a case which happens all too often when a development runs into what they think is an unlimited amount of funding.

Look at any area of business. If the creator/founder/developer/producer of a good or service receives funding at a level far in excess of what they reasonably expected to get,…

No dog in the fight here (haven’t donated/funded, but I do like Space sims so would play the game an in finished state).

There’s no incentive for the team behind Star Citizen to ever complete the game. Why? Because people funding/donating have brought it to that point, and people continue to donate/fund even though, as…

When he told me how much they cost, I just nodded my head and accepted that he will always be who he is and kept it moving.

Fashion is fashion, and no one is the arbiter (but I sure as hell wouldn’t be wearing them. I only like leather on my feet, around my waist, and keeping my cash and cards safe and secure.)

My point wasn’t contrary to yours, simply expanding upon it.

The thing about events like Blizzcon is that to really make up for the costs, you want to have as many of your hands in peoples’ pockets as possible, not just for the tickets.

This is why they have host hotels, so they get a slice. Why they partner with restaurants, bars, and clubs, so they get a slice. Unfortunately,…

Thanks for the catch. It’s what I get for typing fast haha

After Tokyo Drift, they really fell into a trap of having to constantly exceed themselves or risk losing the audience.

It’s astounding that the movies have gotten more successful (monetarily) the more outlandish they’ve become, with the focus moving from any semblance of street racing or small-scale crime to global…

I saw the first 3 in theaters. After that, I’ve seen snippets of the rest but never a full movie, a certainly not for the price of a movie ticket.

Which is interesting, because I love cars and I don’t need much to compel me to watch something about cars I wish I could own but perhaps never will. Unfortunately, it’s…

Haha, you’re good, but it was obvious that MJ was gonna get the win for both of the free-throw line dunks, even though Nique’s 360 was the most impressive in the contest.
