Two things:

+1 I hate myself for laughing

Agreed, but on top of that you’re opening things up to a new sort of arms race. Bad coaches could make in-game adjustments and become better, thus leading good coaches to themselves make adjustments to compensate, and where this stops nobody knows.

Yeah it really would have helped had I gotten drunk first. Prudential Center $12 beers though eh no thank you.

Once upon a time I worked at a food bank. The Chili Peppers made donations to local organizations like mine while they were on tour and also gave free tickets to their staff members so they could come and pick them up.

Counterpoint: I have no idea how long load in and sound check normally is but it’s a hell of a lot longer than 20 minutes/4 to 5 songs so yeah no one is ever going to do this ever.

Regardless of the subject matter watching someone flinch in terror while eating a hot dog was exactly what my morning needed.

There are a lot of unanswered questions regarding how and when a switchover to autonomous driving will occur and whether it will herald the end of private car ownership.

Sure but that’s exactly my point: none of those are things that would be listed as a “feature.” Like you’d advertise a high end car as having automatic door locks, you wouldn’t advertise a car as having “better soundproofing.”

Meanwhile I can’t point to anything tangible that a luxury car has that an entry level car doesn’t? I remember when power windows and heated seats were the things that separated a Civic from whatever the top model Acura was but now you’re going to spend a ton of extra money on a badge/cachet and really not much else.…

Yeah I was thinking that was like a Warner Brother’s cartoon plume there. Thank you for pointing out what that actually means.

I clicked this knowing exactly what it was going to be.

Most states have laws that mean per-hour payout by the job is much lower than a standard minimum wage with the assumption that they will make up the amount in tips.

I am fine with this. There will no doubt be someone in these comments who will rail against the idea of a forced 20% tip but they should shut up as the convenience factor here greatly outweighs whatever concern they have over wanting to undertip for bad service.

Yeah that’s about where my personal Tom Waits playlist stops - every album prior minus most of Heart Of Saturday Night and the talking bits between songs on Nighthawks At The Diner.

If they thought they could make it up by selling out every game, maybe. But as it stands definitely no.

Easily my favorite plot arc in Achewood.

This looks like slot cars on amphetamines.

Holy shit Uecker is still alive? I was just thinking about him.  

The El Camino was my high school dream car because it was hilarious. I still get excited when I see one in public. That said I will never own this car nor any car like it because it’s sort of ridiculous.
