Teachers, auto workers, electricians, nurses, etc. have to strike for a living wage or insurance or better hours? Why don’t they just get a different job?

I like every moment Chuck bullies Shaq. It shows what the Javale McGee taunting shows, that Shaq needs to be the top dog giving people shit or else he starts to mumblecry. I mean really, you’re going to knock Chuck out because...he took too many minutes of a timed segment?

The show was better before Shaq got there.

To be honest, Shaq doesn’t have a voice for radio, TV or any medium where it is important that you be able to understand more than 2/3 of what someone is saying.

He gets by on his witty personality and his fit with Chuck, Kenny & EJ, but I wish he would take some elocution lessons or something.

the chemistry was worlds better pre-shaq. And I expected him to be fantastic for the show when it was announced

Chris Paul? I usually blame Chris Paul. 

I fall asleep to the low unintelligible mumbles of Shaq on my white noise machine

The Rockets are fully the most unlikeable team in the NBA.

did you make a Kinja account just to “well ACTUALLY” the Union of Concerned Scientists?

Recycling of EV batteries is still in its infancy, but it is being worked on.

Of course she didn’t.  She was too busy hiding from the Nazis.

Elon Musk’s project would run into even more road blocks since it would require a new ROW and expensive tunneling. The US is a wealthy enough country where we could throw 50-100 billion dollars at the Northeast Corridor and we would not have to raise a single tax.   Our President, Elaine Chao, and any other…

Actually, Amtrak and other public agencies (CDOT in CT for example) do own the right of way in the NE Corridor. It is one of the few places in the US where Amtrak owns the right of way. In most of country, Amtrak does operate on right of way owned by freight railroads.

But they’re disrupting boring technology!! With... an old used boring machine... but they’re doing it...

It’s amazing that no tunnel boring construction company anywhere on Earth has thought of this!

The main obstacle to increasing speed in the Northeast Corridor is not the trainsets but the right-of-way. The existing right-of-way is too curvy. Straightening out the right of way would require billions of $$$ to acquire land by eminent domain. The NIMBYs will also delay the process by years and add significant…

They have the capability to be upgraded to 220 mph service. The Federal Government should spend the money…

I’ve never understood the scooter hate. Welcome to the city. There are transportation devices everywhere. Cars, bikes, scooters. No, they shouldn’t be left on private property. Yes, they should be left standing and out of foot traffic. And yes, some dingi probably just dump them wherever and leave. But this talk about…

Consumer Reports is excellent. Your apparent opinion of them is uneducated.

The point of the article is that this “improvement in the process” already exists at every major airport, it’s called a taxi stand. Lyft “improved”their airport pick-up method by just using the same idea taxis have been using for decades, but Lyft acts like it came up with some entirely new concept.
