Finally, an expert opinion I can trust.

I’m glad they did the experiment. Yes, it didn’t work, but that’s why it was an experiment. Some limitations were known - efficiency, sub-optimal sunlight, etc. Many of the variables were unknown - resin durability, tire noise, etc. The test was conducted, results derived. This is a win IMO.

A “shelled” pistachio means it has the shell removed. In yet another inexplicable quirk of the English language, to “shell”, verb, means to remove the shell from a nut, seed or pod. So perhaps his girlfriend assumed the shell had already been removed if he was referring to them as “shelled pistachio”?

Yes. Business in the front, party in the back. :)

My all-time favorite cars, of any kind, are the late 60's F1 cars. They look like someone put a V8 in the back of a Kayak.

You could have just told them "no".

I was going to guess 5 Kobes

Fast XXX Furious and Vin Diesel keeps forgetting which character he’s supposed to be playing.  Not that it would make a difference.

You got a weird definition of 1:1 copies I’d say maybe that Deep Purple one is the closest. The one you cited doesn’t really sound close. 

Haha! Yes, adding a 100 horsepower motor to a 755 horsepower motor will result in an 855 horsepower engine. Whether you add the 100 hp by connecting an electric motor to the supercharger or by adding a 100hp electric motor directly to the crankshaft.

“It makes 755 HP from the LT5 engine, whose supercharger consumes about 100 HP at full boost. “So,” Lee said, “our engine is really making 855 HP at the crank, since 100 HP is used to drive the supercharger.”

Please use its proper name, a masterbatoreum.

This is what the photographer walked into:

that’s a jerk-off station

“If you wanted chicken you should have gone somewhere good, you piece of shit” is how I end all of my emails.

Hiking Everest should not, in fact, be a thing.

Truman, you can Carter off to jail, but Grant me this: If you just Fillmore prison cells, it won’t solve anything. It would be-Hoover to reform her ways, so we should Taylor the punishment to the crime.

Can the batter do this if there is a man on first? Because at some point there will be a man on first that doesn’t run when this happens, and there will be a rundown between home and first. Can the runner make it back to home? And continue his at-bat?
