So a transmission with more parts, but no more size or weight ... and (according to GM’s transmission naming convention), less torque rating?

That hypothesis was pretty well demolished when it was pointed out that legal abortion in NY began several years before Roe, and violent criminality usually begins at 15 or 16, meaning that the downturn would have started in the mid/late ‘80s (and this controls for the crack epidemic, BTW).

The point is that he was being perfectly quiet about it and then someone threw a stink. So when asked for his opinion, he gave it, and then idiots came around with their dumb opinions and misunderstandings of what free expression actually is. It is extremely offensive for couch warriors to sit and complain about how…

Yeah, but you’re a satan worshipping bisexual polygamist, old man. So why should we listen to you?

Study after study after study has shown that the aggressive policing tactics used by the NYPD under Giuliani did not reduce violent crime relative to the decreases that occurred in other cities not using these methods. At all. The entire decline can be chalked up to demographic changes. (Being an economist by training…

So huh has anyone else noticed that some of Donald Trump’s supporters seem to be vile racist pigs?

I’m a veteran of three dozen wars. Name a body part and a planet and I’ve taken a bullet in it, on it. All to keep our flag flying free.

I’ve noticed a very disturbing trend. Not one of the friends on Facebook I’ve noticed has actually addressed Kaepernick’s point about cops executing black people with impunity, and then escaping charges scot-free as their crooked friends in the justice department and internal affairs let them skate.

Everybody is…

“They only showed him kill that guy on replay” is my favorite comeback of all time now. Find that hill and die on it, buddy.

To paraphrase one of the guys who writes for ESPN’s Undefeated section, they only started calling Ali a ‘great guy’ when he could no longer speak.

If you’re a cranky old white man, you can say that we need to make America great again, because there are all these minorities and women asking for special (read: equal) treatment. Obviously America isn’t great for YOU. You used to be top dog, king shit, and you could get away with anything! Nowadays when you yell…

His appeal to African-American voters in recent weeks: THINGS ARE TERRIBLE! IF YOU WALK DOWN ANY STREET YOU’LL GET SHOT 25 TIMES! VOTE FOR ME BECAUSE IT CAN’T POSSIBLY GET WORSE!

Maybe it’s the wide angle lens, but that didn’t look like an impossible spot to me.

Raphael, you know what would be cool? An infographic showing the current up and coming battery technologies, their pros and cons, and where they are in development. I know there are a few neat ones out there, but I certainly don’t have a real great handle on any of them, let alone all of them.

Las Vegas Metropolitans would be easier to switch when they move to Seattle.

Las Vegas Nordiques. Get ahead of it from day one.

Finally, we can get Trump some help.

The one thing I hope gets addressed by this is the mental health issues of the homeless. It seems like on some levels it would (With police interaction in particular), but I keep hoping there will be at some point reform of what St. Ronnie gutted.

That’s a pretty stupid conclusion to draw. She accepted that public speaking money because that was her job and her main source of income at the time. If someone offers you money to give a speech, you take that money and give the speech. There’s no conflict of interest because she wasn’t consulting them on anything.
