It led to pretty universal condemnation. I didn't think it was that bad a self inflicted wound but she's not getting much traction with voters or donors... Still a long ways to go so I'm not counting her out yet. I'm hoping she'll be one of the last three standing, at the least.

Donating over a Billion to rebuild a Cathedral owned by the very wealthy Catholic Church is about as benevolent as contributing to a GoFundMe to get Kylie Jenner over a $B.

Fish are cool, but really the aquarium is the pet. I like ferrets if they’ve been desexed and had their scent glands removed, because they're smelly as hell.

She’s the only candidate I’ve donated to so far. I think she burned herself with the ancestry reveal, which is a pity because I thought she was well primed for a 50/50 shot at the nomination, otherwise. I do like her focus on those critical issues though. Dead-on with self fulfilling prophecies, the last Democratic…

I had never had a Hazy before visiting San Diego last Fall, where every brewery seemed to have at least one on draft. They’re delicious to me but I rarely see them here in the DC area— and despite the “NE” association as far as I can tell they really started getting popularized when the west coast microbrews started…

Hmm, I may look into the Ferodos, or what I’ve been thinking is going back to stock pads and then swapping the HP+ on when I do autoX/track days or mountain/valley runs. I live in the DC/MD/VA (DMV) area so there are quite a few options in the area for track days, I do miss living out West when it comes to car…

What bothered me on the first 10 replays they showed was that the defender he’d just passed clearly swiped across his arm, stomach and groin, leading him to grimace and lose focus, before the other defender smacked the ball out of his hand. Either open up the replay to the entirety of the play in question or scrap it.

I’m looking forward to that experience, to be honest! I’ve had a couple friends who did the track-day rental experience who enjoyed it quite a bit (if not $250+ level enjoyment). My wife drools every time she sees an R8, so if I do ever add a supercar to the stable it’d probably be something along those lines... a…

Every day we stray further from God in pursuit of worldly numbers...

Interesting, never realized before looking up this H25A engine that Suzuki had co-developed their V6 with Toyota. Had to wonder if it was essentially the 2VZ-FE that I used to have in my 1990 Camry V6 after seeing that ‘160 HP’ number and sure enough, wiki says “very similar design”.

If the defender touched the ball it's ok to pick up and restart the dribble. They may have assumed the defender got a hand on it. I saw this live in real time and thought it was a double dribble, and when they let play continue I assumed the defender had touched it...

I feel like this is a camping and tailgating kinda car. Putter up the hills and throw open that back when you arrive, unload the gear and set a spread in the trunk. Someone crazier than me might look at this as a EJ 20/25 swap/restomod opportunity, bonus points for a custom widebody kit...

There are companies now where you "lease" the solar. No cost to install, pay a bill to them reach month and a bill for supplemental power to the electric company. Previous owner installed it in my home, seems to save us about $20/month in winter (still have gas stove and heater is gas, plus less power generated) and…

I’m liking the Billie Eilish album, but not quite as much as her ‘EP’ from a couple years ago. It’s better than I anticipated it would be based on the lead singles though, so I’m happy.

This is a reasonable expectation and there shouldn’t be any excuse for the Justice Department not to adhere to it.

It may leak but it will never be ‘released’ by the Republican majority in the Senate— even if the DOJ hadn’t been reduced to yet another wing of the GOP/WH. Why would they? They know it would incriminate them, and they know there’ll be no major push-back to not releasing it as they control the 45% of Americans that…

To all Splinter journalists, please stop trying to get me excited that the “rule of law” actually matters. None of this matters. Nothing will happen. Nothing can happen with a Republican-dominated Senate. It doesn’t matter how much we (I) care. Stop trying to give us hope— all hope is lost.

Democrats won the house in the last election. The leading party in the house gets to determine who the committee chairs are.

Meanwhile I’m looking to sell my Fiat and buy a new commuter vehicle so I don’t keep racking up miles on my S2K... I’d like it to take 10 years to hit 130K from the 111 I’m at instead of the current 2 year pace...

Alfas are *really* nice when they run, and the mechanicals are reliable enough. Too bad they messed up sooooo bad with the electronics... Would have been nice to see them make it in the states but I’m pretty sure they’re doomed at this point....
