“Autopilot made me do it.” Nice try, but wrong.

The DRIVER failure is what resulted in death. Nothing more.

How do you figure Therrien won out? He got a worse defenseman (still good, but not like PK) and a worse contract where they have to pay a guy until he’s 39!

Can someone be both a nerd AND a bitch? For some reason I kind of feel like you can’t be both, but maybe you can. They just seem like they’re mutually exclusive to me. Thoughts?

I think arguing that Klinsmann is responsible for the US being uncompetitive against Argentina is asinine.

...what about a sandwich?

So much this.

Yes but do we have any in-car of laps around this place yet? I can’t seem to find anything.

Yeah that’s solid advice. The issue is that (I can’t think of how to describe this well, so forgive me) the gas pedal is closer to the firewall than the brake pedal is. So there’s no real way for me to touch both at the same time without stomping on the brakes to get the pedals at the same “elevation”.

I have a 2010 Mazda 3 hatch, and outside of oil changes and tires, I’ve not had to do anything to my car. It’s in great shape. I don’t drive it consistently hard, but I’m not exactly easy on her. I’m amazed at how little maintenance it has required. Over the course of the ~6.5 years I’ve owned it I estimate (without…

Did you have to re-align your pedals to allow this? I blip the gas on downshifts to rev-match, but only when I don’t also need to be braking. My pedals are not lined up properly for me to be able to actually do this. I either stomp on the brake while trying to the other half of my foot to blip the gas, or let off the…

As a Boston Bruins fan, I fucking hate Jeremy Jacobs.

19-0.

The best thing about soccer announcers is that they’re actually quiet for good chunks of time, even when the ball is moving around. It’s such an amazing contrast to football & baseball where the announcers do not shut up for one nanosecond. They’re constantly trying to shove information and anecdotes and terrible…

I get what you’re saying, but logically that’s incorrect.

And super helpful for pretty much anyone. It doesn’t matter if you’re 40 and think you know it all and implement it all pretty well, 30 and think you’re doing fine, or 25 and are still trying to get used to real life. It’s helpful for just about anyone.

Okay, so what’s a good solution, then? Just to keep envisioning all characters as white males and pretend that’s good enough?

This is excellent advice, quite thoughtful. Thank you so much for your perspective and insight!

I was a grad student at the University in Denver. My cousin and I, we sat in the student section with our $5 student tickets and our $7 20oz Molsons. It was electric. There was something in the air when Wisconsin came to town; they used to be good at hockey. Brian Elliott had just been a Hobey finalist. He’d…
