Creates a hot jet of warm air exhaust fumes that can interact with the tail surface to create a lift force.... at the tail, which basically can prevent the control surfaces from pitching the plane up to take off, causing it to careen off the end of the runway at takeoff speeds. (Ask me how I know...) lol. The first…

It’s funny because when his knees get hurt I think ‘uh-oh, he’s going to lose a lot of his lateral burst (and for some reason ball-handling)‘, whereas when he hurts his ankles I think ‘huh, guess he’s going to drop 45 in the next few games’. I’d swear he shoots better with a hurt ankle... almost like he got used to…

I have, but not since high school when I finished up a read-through. I couldn’t recall Jesus himself saying anything against homosexuality. IIRC it was in the letters that Paul wrote for the most part. I believe that passage you mention also included the line about the camel, eye of needle, etc... which would go…

I’m not sure that Curry’s inability to get separation is hurting him as much as people make it out to be— he just seems a bit out of sync more than anything. Going 1-7+ from 3 in first halves has become practically a habit, but a lot of those looks are as good or better than the looks he got 2 years ago pre-Durant,…

Good Christians don’t see their religion as a barrier to treating fellow human beings with decency and empathy and providing equal rights to all citizens under the law. Then again, with modern Christianity I’m not sure how many truly follow the teachings of Christ, and how many are really little more than “Jews for…

Drake’s always better on features anyways— he should see if he can get a guest spot on someone else’s track who will let him have a few bars to respond. Either that or go full-island raggaeton singing on his response.... he’d be best off taking the ‘rap’ out of the ‘rap battle’.

Some of us always thought he was trash.

Agreed. From some reading up I did earlier today it seems to be a widespread problem in both opera & pop music that has become worse over the years. This is an interesting read: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/aug/10/adele-vocal-cord-surgery-why-stars-keep-losing-their-voices

Hilarious that this made it through testing. I mean... not literally hilarious because lives were at stake, of course, but CR was able to identify the issue within a couple days of testing, while Tesla presumably had months to test the braking performance of the vehicle during their own black box testing. Did they…

Yep, there were good tires on the 325i and one of the 135Is I’ve driven. Definitely an upgrade over the other 135i and 335i I’d driven. Also, the convertible 135I felt significantly different (worse) than the hardtop I drove— didn’t hurt that it had the 6-speed manual instead of automatic, which to be fair was a…

This is terrible news. One of the best new talents in R&B in years and she’s brought so much life and variety to the genre in just a little over a year.

Well when I lived in the San Francisco area people did reference Bill Maher as a representative voice of liberal America. But... that was 1996...

Yeah, baseball everybody’s all fine competitively until around 7th grade when some guys just explode into dominance. I remember playing on a 7/8th grade combined team and breaking up a no-hitter on my first at-bat in the 7th inning (I was in 7th grade and a bit of a shrimp so I rode the pine almost all game)... after…

Preferably everyone should get destroyed by a Div I college level (or better) athlete at some point in your life. It annihilates any one of those “I mean, maybe I could have competed too if I’d spent every waking moment practicing...” delusional thoughts that fans tend to have.

I suppose the best comparison I could make would be 325i to 335i. I haven’t driven any Ms personally. I used to own a 325iX... have driven my father’s early aughts 325i, a couple 135Is and a 335i. The E30 is the only car I’ve owned that I ever miss driving— the modern bimmers, while nicer appointed and a bit tighter,…

BMW. I would rather have an E30, E28 or an E24 over their modern offerings. Does that make them better? I don’t know— I’d honestly argue that the E30 is a better car than later gen 3-series, but the 5&6 series modern equivalents are quantifiably better in every way other than looks and potentially driver engagement.

Although I sometimes wonder if his style of play and leadership actively prevents his young teammates from developing... you can’t deny his unique ability to single- handedly dominate a game on both ends. If only he/GM (not sure if slash needed) could surround him with enough talent to take 5 damn minutes off in a…

Bringing the fun to the party, I see...

You’re good! I actually hesitated for a sec to even bring it up ‘cause I’m in total agreement with your point; didn’t want it to come across as a ‘well actually...’!

I’m pretty sure the word ‘stopped’ in the quote was supposed to be ‘searched’. The hurdle for being pulled over while white is definitely higher, but I think that’s more a reflection of the hurdle for being pulled over while black or Hispanic being lowered to the ground. Nobody really *should* be pulled over for…
