Drugs are bad, mmmkay?

Empirically speaking the firefly population is doing just fine.  I don’t have any data to back this up, but a loot outside at night seems to confirm my position.

Idiots. Emissions from jet engines and other aircraft are just that emissions. They same a car’s emissions, just a lot more quantity. Chemtrails are a stupid conspiracy hoax name for Contrails. These are nothing more than condensed water vapor. Essentially man-made clouds.

Lets just get rid of license plates altogether. 

Exactly!  Don’t remake good movies, there is no need.  Remake BAD movies that had unfulfilled potential! 

The liberal Elite would never stoop so low as to drive a Corvette. I am quite certain Joe would rip a burnout in Aston Martin and then have to spend three years apologizing to the labor unions for using a foreign car.

This is kinda crap journalism. You throw out a large number of incidents, but barely admit that half of them are not indicative of what you are trying to imply. You are quick to point out examples of drivers who were clearly attacking protesters, but you conveniently omit that fact that in at least a few of these

One point here.   The 747-8 is more cost efficient per Revenue Passenger Mile than ANYTHING except 787 or 373 max. The 777x will probably also beat it when it enters service, but till then, it is actually LOW fuel prices that are hastening the demise of the 747. The cost penalty for flying an old-ass 757 or 767 is low

Ever notice how Cohen is ALWAYS saying racist/homophobic/antisemitic stuff.  At what point does this stop being a character and become just who he is? 

I don’t know who tied that pull rope into a noose, or what was in their mind and heart when they did it. And neither do you. What we do know is that this was not intended to be attack directly on Wallace.

Not my thing, to be sure, but we need to take a cue from other fandoms.  Don’t yuk some one else’s yum. 

Ok, here is the thing about the valve. It is true that N95 masks and other masks with the exhale valve are not intended for sterile use, they are probably still very effective at preventing your sputum from flying all over the place. I don’t think any good studies have been done on this, but it is likely fine to use

I have serious concerns about the way speed camers are being used now, I don’t think I want to see an expansion of their use without some significant changes. The biggest problem I see is that many of these camera systems are owned and operated, for profit, by corporations. Some of those companies are not even based

There is some faulty logic in a few of your arguments, but lets just start with this. Just because you still see people violating the speed limit, does not mean that traffic stops are not deterring speeding. That is the same fallacy that has lead some to believe that prison is not an effective deterrent to crime

Wow, those modular connectors look like they should work for at least 10 minutes in the rain and mud. 

Now playing

This made me think of DaVinci’s Notebook.

Yeah, good luck with that.  We have already been told there will be no raises until March of next year at the earliest.  We are taking a 10% pay cut for the remainder of the calandar year, and are expecting a round of layoffs any day.  Hope others are in better shape, but I know a lot of folks who have it way worse.

The recall is because these jack stands were not manufactured correctly. Either the Prawl or the ratchet groves or both were cut flat instead of being undercut. That undercut is needed to insure that the ratchet can’t release with weight on the stands. If you are worried about your stands (and you should be, no

No table. That image of kids playing a game in the side-facing rear seats is pure fiction. First off, there was not really enough leg room for anyone older than about 5 to it with two people facing each other. Second, the kids in these seats were out of smacking range of adults in the 2nd row, so bickering was common

Why is the gear selector a giant lever. In the 60's there were push button transmission selectors. I understand why they fell out of favor, but it seems like there are lots of ways to solve the safety issues today. Lets just have a knob on the dash for selecting a driving mode and be done with it.
