If you’re talking about getting tagged by a car, yeah, a helmet probably isn’t going to be the deciding factor in your survival. Where a helmet is going to save you is secondary collisions with shit on the ground or the side of the road. I’ve had several wrecks where a helmet broke on impact instead of my skull. I’m…

Did Tesla produce the first affordable mass market electric car with over 200 miles of range? Nope.
Is Tesla bleeding money? Yep.

I’m not an investor in Tesla. I think they’re overvalued and not built for long term success. I’m also not dumb enough to short them in the current market environment. 

That’s all well and good. Tesla still doesn’t make a profit.

the scholarship limit for a D1 school is 85. Most will have another 30 or so walk-on/non scholarship players to fill out the scout team and provide bodies for drills.

Payroll for college coaches has gotten insane in the last decade or so. Even a low level position coach at a power conference is going to pull low six…

I’m an Akron resident. I have a good job. I don’t have kids (so I have no real vested interest in the strength of the school district outside of general civics). I’m pretty thrilled that they’re trying to make reasonable reforms to the Akron Public School system and I don’t think for an instant that any of this stuff…

doubtful. like most larger state schools, OSU’s most rabid fans are the Walmart alumni. They didn’t actually go to OSU.

Also, chances are anyone that’s free on a monday afternoon to protest in support of a football coaching millionaire is unemployed.

Weird. They’ve been one of the bigger American punk rock bands for over 20 years.

every 525i Wagon? that’s like 6 cars.

we do have piles of those engines in junkyards.

You don’t even have to flip the bird. Some people are just maniacs. Last summer I was riding my bicycle. There’s a guy driving a BMW SUV that’s stopped at a green light, clearly too busy texting to notice that the light turned green 30 seconds ago. Not wanting to waste time I go around him, through the intersection…

They’re going by population not total area. Japan has about 130 million people living in it. The USA is at around 320 million. That’s less than half but more than a third. “about half the size” is an accurate enough statement for an internet comments section.

That’s just limited mtg formats in general. Even in a booster draft of the current M19 set there’s always the chance to pull a high value mythic rare. 

I think it’s just a normal “keep what you pull” draft. They ran a similar draft at a GP a couple months ago with a box of Beta. A couple guys got dual lands in the draft and the grand prize for the winner was an Alpha starter deck.

Honestly though, outside of the nostalgia, drafting these early core sets would be…

The game was also clearly rushed out the door. The bosses don’t really line up that well with the individual levels and the game just kind of ends. The whole thing just doesn’t feel very polished.

But somehow it still wasn’t as completely broken as the original NES battletoads. That game has some serious issues, like…

the Cavs were in complete salary cap hell. they could barely sign guys to the bench.

Yeah, I think this is a reasonable take. If it’s a non-smoking area I think it’s reasonable to ask them to stop and if it happens repeatedly (and happens in a way that directly effects you) to raise the issue with property management. Calling the police though? That’s more than a little ridiculous. 

I have one. My scout troop had our meetings in the basement of a Lutheran church on Wed nights. 9/11 was a Wed. During his opening comments our troop’s scout master gave an impassioned speech about how the events of the day were a tragedy but we shouldn’t use the actions of a few to condemn an entire group of people.…

doubtful. Where the Tesla powertrains have sucked is heat management. they go like hell in a straight line. they corner ok. they can’t take repeated acceleration and deceleration. Car and Driver can’t get a stock model S to complete a lap at VIR anywhere close to full power. Too much current gets converted into heat.

ht…

If he lifts the chicken tax there will be a loss of manufacturing jobs in the US.

I only seem to get flashed from behind when I’m doing 10 over and actively passing and a dude that wants to do 25 over comes flying up behind me. It’s annoying. I don’t just cruise/sit in the left lane.
