That was eye opening. Nobody, including the shooter, thought he was still in the play. Zion is the only one who wasn’t surprised by that block.

The petty one in this situation is Davis’ agent. The Pelicans have rights to Davis for this season because he signed a long term contract. His only value to them now is as trade bait... His trade demand effectively destroys the entire franchise’s chances for probably 5 years. Fans are now paying to watch a dead team.…

I mean, I think most any band would be ok with being associated with Depeche mode/NIN :) personally I’m a fan of the more commercial sound of the last two records but I totally get that earlier fans would be put off by the direction.

NYC never made any sense. Nova makes sense based on proximity to the airport, but it’s so packed and expensive I wonder if they wouldn’t have been better off building the HQ out South of Andrews in PG county or near National Harbor, lots of undeveloped land, 30 min from City, 40/20 mins to an airport; they could have…

“Health - Slaves of Fear” dropped today. I liked it quite a bit on the first listen-through.

Exercise is great. Good for the id, good for health, good for appearance, essential for bodies that evolved to scavange, hunt and farm. That said Trump exercising is bad, because I don't want any of those benefits for him. 

I picked a great time (last year) to move across the Potomac to Maryland. Feels good to be back in a Democrat state as well, after a nearly 20 year run of living in Republican states...

Welcome, brothers....

Especially if it could still return 40+mpg on the freeway... My S2000 guzzles fuel like a V8 because on the aggressive cam profile it inhales air like a V8. There are tradeoffs in engine design but this engine technology eliminates some and can still be optimized within that framework. I’d expect 100hp per liter and…

Maybe they’ll make a 2.5L version putting out 220hp... 180 out of a 2.0 NA tuned for Street driving/economy is fine, I’m sure they could make larger displacement or higher compression versions without too much trouble.

Good, I’m glad to see it succeeding. The Porsche coming out is the car I think is the one to watch out for, they can do a damn good interior and everything good about the Teslas comes down to the power and handling benefits of a sled platform and autopilot, which I’m fine skipping until it’s legal and safe to sit in…

I want to know the brake HP *and* whp so I can appropriately judge an AWD car versus RWD, and to be able to judge drivetrain and parasitic loss efficiency across models. We should get both. 

The most frustrating thing watching Goff shit the bed was realizing it should have been Brees and the Saints... Who sure as hell could have scored at least 10 points.

75 percent say that Democrats shouldn’t withhold funding for the government over the wall if it would lead to another shutdown. Even among Democrats, 65 percent want their party to keep negotiating rather than allow their refusal of funding to lead to another shutdown.

I was a player/coach for a rec league team one season. We had 8 seconds left, down 1, with the ball. I casually recommended a pick and roll with our beast center. He went “what?!? You’re trying to draw up a play...?”. Missed shot by someone else, pass out of the rebound to him out of a roll to the basket for the last…

As a State grad and fan I half wanted us to fire Keatts, who is a great coach, because someone has to answer for the entire team shitting the bed. I don’t know what else to say, law of averages usually prevents an entire team shooting 17% facing pretty average defense, but here we are. The thing is, the team was…

A Jeep Grand Cherokee is more in line with an average American’s idea of luxury transportation, and it looks like 100k more of those were sold. Still a great sales number for the Model 3.

The VW partnership should work out well for them in the long run, IMO, and help VW in the short run. Ford will survive the industry shifts to electric and automation. It’s shares are a bargain with the dividend they pay and the share price is looking like it’s bottomed out, and may break out in with a 20% or so gain…

Yep! IIRC she returned there ~30 years after she was imprisoned there as a child; her body had shut down her perception of smell when she was imprisoned there, likely because the human mind isn’t designed to face the smell of death and burning flesh in any frequency, much less as a daily occurrence.
