If it’s “close to” lightspeed, that’s not a warp drive.  Is that how the paper describes it, or is this a consequence of the Jalopnik writers having to cope with not having Gizmodo around any more?

So he screwed up and took out two other cars at the very beginning of the race, but is scored *above them*? I guess his car ended up further down the track after the crash, but that still sucks. I hope the team split their paltry payout between the other two at least.

To hell with deescalation training.  Lets get the cops to stop doing the fucking escalating in the first place.

...and now I have to go listen to Marc Cohn because you activated an earworm.

I saw six of the things on a carrier driving down the highway headed into Cleveland about an hour ago.  Not sure how anyone thinks they’ll survive a winter here.

When I played it, and I got to the bit where you’re wandering around the farmhouse at night before heading back to Seattle, I damn near stopped playing the game right there, rather than actually make that decision. I knew what it would mean at the end of the game.

So is this going to be the comments section for the site funeral?

They were waiting for a lawyer sleazy enough to talk them into thinking they had at least enough of a case to get paid to go away.

Hey, at least we know they have all three parts of the story mapped out, which is an absolute step up from the sequel trilogy.

The quote refers to him as the “petitioner” which would mean he filed for the divorce.  Or at least, someone acting with his Power of Attorney.

The boxes are full of Nightsister corpses that can be reanimated.

It puts it under federal jurisdiction not to have higher penalties, but so that the federal prosecutors can step in when local prosecutors are ideologically disinclined to prosecute a case. See also prosecuting murder and assault as “civil rights violations.” (This practice sometimes leads to something that feels…

Typically “Stand Your Ground” laws are strongest when you’re in your home. A few states have expanded that to greater or lesser degrees, but the list of states where people are likely to try to charge into a clinic is probably pretty similar to the list of states where the local prosecutor is going to decide that…

I’d wager offending the judge is the point. Poke and prod and taunt until she gets snippy a couple times, claim it indicates a pattern of bias, demand a recusal, run that up and down the system once or twice. Next thing you know, you’ve got your 2026 start date just through bureaucracy.

The Mandalorian cloning stories are linked to Snoke, if you look hard enough. Some of the people Gideon was talking to during the Evil Council of Evil scenes are linked to the First Order. And weren’t some of the bodies in the cloning facility sort of Snokish?

Yeah, I think the Barris option is the most interesting, but it’s leaning even more into Clone Wars specific knowledge. I love it, and Dave clearly loves it, but there has to be a line somewhere, and realistically Barris is well past it.

As someone said on Twitter, he got as close as he could to 100 without going over.

It will be a clone of Ezra. (Would that be E’ezra, or Ezra’a? I don’t think the vowel has ever been at the front of a name.)

Opening with a crawl, and then a pan over a starship, even if both were slightly different from the way they were used in the movies, was certainly a statement.

I’ve never understood either the love for Garrus (he’s a borderline fascist) or the Mako (which handles like a dead water buffalo.)  The “alternatives” in ME2 and ME:A aren’t really much better.
