This is dumb. At no point in his time as commander is Li Shang interested in Mulan; if anything, it’s the opposite (though she would never approach him).

Worse, the thing is, that’s actually a structural argument in favor of Sanders, not against. Literally, the argument why we, progressives and liberals in the party, must compromise and vote for the mealy-mouthed moderate, is because that is necessary to get the votes of people who won’t vote for everything we want.

See and this is where it’s wild to me because I’ve had some Warren supporters be absolute ASSHOLES to me and insinuate that I’m wrestling with internalized misogyny - okay wait a minute not some, but damn near all. I see it all over Facebook, all over Twitter, and yet I would happily welcome Warren folks into the…

A twin is much easier to work on yourself, in my 18 years of experience working on bikes. So, if you always plan on paying a dealership or shop... then go with a 4. If you want to replace something quickly and easily in your engine, in a weekend, go with a twin. Bonus points if it still has a carb.

Off-idle torque is fun when you want to obey speed limits, especially in town. People love the feeling on the butt-dyno. I come from high strung dirt bikes and sport bikes, but I can understand why people like these big-blocks of the bike world.

Well, all the various configurations have their own packaging constraints. A vtwin makes for a narrower bike than and I4.

V-twins are a great engine design for packaging reasons. Back when air-cooling was the norm (or if you are Harley) it also helped with that.

How is that disputable? She’s one of the highest-paid novelists in the world. In 2018 she literally made £6,190,042/day, every day.

In 2009, the UN HDI was assigned to each American state as if it were a sovereign nation.

Trying to justify it by saying these are “industry-standard established ranges based on experience” is especially fucked-up, given the strength of their resumes. He had one movie screenwriting credit and one “story by” credit prior to Crazy Rich Asians. She’d been writing for television for two decades. It’s a flimsy…

When I lived in Tucson, I learned that swamp coolers can only lower the temp by 20 F so when it was 113F outside, we could get down to 93 inside - we lived in front of huge fans.

The X6 is so hideous that this actually helps a lot.

Kamala Harris, apparently. She’s rather hit up the Hampton’s for money.

Harris, Biden, and Buttigeig all have exactly zero plans or ideas for Climate Change that doesn’t involve more than lip service. Biden just wants to attach us to a bunch of resolutions again, without passing any legislature. Harris, until recently, wasn’t even that interested in discussing it as a political strategy. h…

Jesus, that is an obscure Zelazny reference 

Yesterday is “not like a musical. You’re not just covering the Beatles’ songs but recovering them from the dustbin of memory and re-presenting them to the world.”

I don’t fully buy into Ford “standing up to Ferrari”. Ford’s HUGE! And after realizing how much Enzo might lose he backed away, rather violently.

“Great that Dax “speaks openly” about addiction, and Kristen “speaks openly” about her depression—if only “speaks openly” weren’t a euphemism for saying just enough to be relatable and of the moment without chewing on controversy.”

Why didn’t she simply walk out? Why did she blow him? This is clearly a consensual sexual encounter she later regretted. “I didn’t really want to do it, but I did anyway” is not sexual misconduct.
