Based on the comments, it seems like lots if people had “gym sucks” experiences. Yet, my daughter goes to a high school where they seem to be doing it right. The PE teachers actually want gym to be a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone, not just the jocks, and they provide multiple activities for the kids…

Exactly. I saw another report which mentioned him using a hammer- that seems about right.

It does sound like mutual road rage, given that both guys are facing charges, and I suspect that the troopers have recovered the object that the guy used to damage the windshield.

Must we inject our political views into everything? The guy with the gun appears to have kept a felonious road-rager under control until authorities arrived, and as such was not charged. End of that part of the story. Your “so-called” dig was not called for.

Agreed. As a Pilot owner, I test drove both a base LX AWD and an Elite, which completely sold me on the base model. The extras just didn’t feel worth the enormous cost jump. For that price, I’d have gone for an MDX (or a truck-based SUV).

What a jerk

So if that’s so simple to fix, why haven’t you de-crimped your Sentra or Benz?

Good points, and as a former K-Car owner (we were all young and poor once, right?), I have to agree that the idea of a K Challenger only proves that Lee Iacocca must have had a sense of humor :). But the it’s not like they’re seriously marketing the Eclipse Cross as a sport coupe. Their ads (that I’ve seen, at least) d…

Yeah, but the Eclipse Cross isn’t even pretending to be in the Eclipse family. I don’t think you’ll ever see the Cross on the Eclipse wiki page, for example.

Heh - I must be slow today.

Um, ok?

Am I the only one who pictured "David Attenborough in a bee suit" like this?

I’ve seen Saturn’s rings through my backyard telescope. Just a blurry line as viewed edge-on, but still clearly visible. Sure, it’s invisible to the “naked eye” from Earth, but how does that make it any less iconic an image?

So, the flight was delayed overnight, passengers all put up in hotels, flight rescheduling, and probably missed connections.... the cost to the airline could easily be in the tens of thousands.

Exactly - it feels like Poe and BB-8 are forced into the season like a fishhook through a piece of bait. But that’s not enough of a hook to keep even a grade-school boy glued to the series (let alone his father).

Meh. I sat through the first 10 episodes with my kid, and while we’ll watch the last 2, I’ll be shocked if they can somehow get us to care about these characters so late in the game. First season nearly done, and there’s still no real “hook”.

Only a few? Look, maybe you, personally, aren’t a scumbag, but how about your sales managers? They are paid (well) to maximize the profits for a middleman industry which adds almost no value to the buyers, and do so with every dirty trick they can dream up.

...right up until he turned into an old man. That’s where, for me, it felt a little... creepy?

I agree with your post overall, except for the part about manned strikes being far less accurate than drone strikes. IANA pilot (or military drone operator), but my understanding is that the weapons systems (hellfire, paveway, JDAM, etc) are the same. And, in both cases, the decision to fire is being made by humans. I…

I know someone who has had exactly the same experience, though in his case I believe he suspected Siri. I’ve had an echo in my kitchen all year (which I use exclusively to stream music), and have not noticed that happen. But I have certainly had it “wake” to the wrong word and try to search for whatever it thought I…
