President Biden shares some blame. Cancellation of XL pipeline slows available world supply. Cancellation of of new Federal contracts and anti Fracking stance is a loss of future supply. The reality of no supply difference right now means little to the stock market which is forward looking. 

High gas prices also effect the poor disproportionately.

In 2019, Alamo Drafthouse in Austin held two Val Kilmer events. On one day they screened “Tombstone” at an old west town outside Austin, and on the next day they screened “Top Gun” at Camp Mabry, and Val attended both events.

Real Genius is the best Val Kilmer film. You can fight me, but like the man said...

All I’m saying is if I overdid it on edibles, and I heard that starting gun fire, I think I could keep up with Usain Bolt for maybe  10 yards or so. 

Tough call but rules are rules and she knew them. And mom would have wanted her to go to the olympics more than anything in the world. 

You’re right she did take (partial) responsibility. I’m just not a big fan of people who “take full responsibility” and then instantly go into a lengthy list of the reasons why it’s not really their fault.  I mean if she isn’t using it as an excuse why bring it up at all? I have nothing against her and agree the rule…

Yes its bullshit, but that has nothing to do with her token up so close to an event of a fucking lifetime.

I agree! I smoke a lot of weed, but when I have something I have do, or job interview etc, I fucking stop! Yes the rule is dumb and she shouldn’t be in trouble since its legal almost everywhere. But that’s the rule in place for now and she knew that, just like all the other athletes that probably smoke know too.

It appears as though it is, though.

I hope she gets to run, but I don’t think they should bend any rules for her. That’s not really fair to athletes who may have abstained to pass their own tests during this testing period.

“The idea that someone is a bad role model because they smoke a joint sounds more like drug war fear-mongering than anything.”

Let me guess, the author is young, probably smokes pot and doesn’t have children. You’ll figure it out in time. Unless you don’t care if your children do drugs that interfere with their…

Michael Phelps was also banned for supposedly smoking pot and he didn’t even take a test so your assessment that this is race related is reaching, sorry. Change the rules in the future, sure. Pot isn’t a performance enhancing drug. If anything it’ll hamper your performance. But she knew the deal. Opportunity of a…

Trust me, if a brand-new, high-profile combustion car just caught on fire like this, we’d write about that, too

How many of them are new, $100,000+ vehicles? A few Ferraris burn, which are covered here, but you want them to write an article every time a ‘02 Buick catches fire? Plus, there’s a difference between a gas fire and lithium battery fire.

It’s the new fire response mode. It was trying to drive itself to the fire station. 

Reads to me like the containment vessel failed.

Did you happen to reach out to them about the discrepancy? Seems their response would tell a lot about whether there was intention to decieve vs gross incompetence. 

The guy who was driving appears to have a long history of drinking and driving arrests. At this point, it appears to be more likely to be “drunk driver doing drunk driver stuff” than “terrorist incident”, unless some other info comes out.

This isn’t some long term gamble or strategic play. It might seem like it now but it isn’t. Emissions, regulatory bodies, and NIMBY made the business case for processing ore easy for companies. It’s either send it to China and make a ton of money or deal with a ton of lawsuits, delays, and protests in the US and…
