Yes, PPI is very good advice, but this... this was buying sight unseen. That’s a whole ‘nuther level of naiveté. Or ignorance. Or risk-taking. Or something. a PPI wasn’t even necessary for this one. Just a personal visit and a test drive. Heck, it sounds like it wouldn’t have even got as far as a test drive, just…

You guys do know that HD is considered standard at this point, right? What possible reason could there be for showing sports highlights and clips in shitty standard def, or worse, from twitter. If it’s not in HD, I move on.

I don’t think you know how markets work. To say the market sets the price of medallions is silly, when the city limits the number of medallions. Artificially limiting the number of medallions is why they are so expensive at auction. Artificially limiting the number of medallions is why the existing taxi drivers could…

Not Jaywalking, true, but even more important, not jaywalking at night in dark clothing. And even more important, look both ways before you cross the street.

They don’t “void your coverage”. They just don’t cover you at track events. You can buy coverage for a couple hundred for a day of HPDE. But it’s true, most people will never track their car.

This is why I wish gas prices would go to $5/gallon or more.

You have no idea what led up to that. He maybe was moving his hands around a lot in the car before he exited. Maybe he wasn’t following directions. Maybe the registered owner already had an arrest warrant for something more serious, or maybe the car came back as stolen, ie. this was a felony arrest. Could be lots of…

Huh?

I’ve seen this movie before.

Am I missing something? Didn’t MS have a foul to give? Why didn’t they foul on the inbound?

Am I missing something? MS had a foul to give, right? Why didn’t they? did their coach overlook it, or did the players just not execute? Not to take anything away from ND, that was an awesome finish.

“Phones are enough of a necessity...” I somehow made it through 12 years of school without a cell phone. Never once, in those entire 12 years, did I use or even carry a cell phone. And neither did any of my classmates. And yet, here we are. Think about that. Then think about the statement you made, and now you know…

I think justify doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Funny you bring up laws of physics. Stand on a sidewalk next to the lane of travel on a 35 or 40 mph street. In the dark. Then step out in front of a car. You don’t even have to be trying to move fast... just take two steps casually. There is no way a driver could react fast enough to avoid the collision. Even if they…

It isn’t about “justification”, or as Clint Eastwood put it “deserves”. There are a lot of peds out there who weren’t taught by their parents to look both ways before they cross the street. If you step out in front of a moving car where no driver could reasonably be expected to avoid the collision, then you are going…

We have these where I work. Complete and total pieces of crap. Not safe even at 25 mph. Not fun to drive. I can’t imagine any good use for these things.

I actually like being able to see a “normal” person doing something like this. The world class competitors make difficult things look so easy, sometimes it’s hard to realize how difficult it is to do what they are doing. Someone with plebeian skills gives us a visual perspective of what it takes to do some of the…

Ya’ll are making this too difficult. It’s a race. If they left at the same time, one would beat the other by 9 or 10 inches. That’s not a tie. That’s one person beating the other person in a race. It’s kind of the whole point of having competition.

And there’s the racism. From a douchebag who obviously thinks of themselves as morally superior.

When it comes to deplorable human behavior, what is it about big cities that brings it out in people? You couldn’t pay me enough to live in a big city. I guarantee you that would not happen at any of the businesses anywhere near me. There was an armed robbery attempt a few years ago at a local gas station/mini-mart.…
