My wife and I did.Still have it and coming up on 100k miles on it.

200 HP is really low for a car this size. Toyota really needs to bring back to old V6 they used to put in these. My wife has one and it is more than enough power.

You “understood fully”, yet you stated that you had “no clue” what the premise of the article was. Got it.

Congrats. You restated the premise of the article without actually understanding that it was the premise of the article.

Those space satellites are operated by a number of different agencies, including intelligence agencies and the already existing US Air Force Space Command. The comment wasn’t “do we need satellites,” it was “do we need an entirely new branch of the military to do the things that we are already doing?” It’s a fair…

I think its really the opposite. The Conan without Borders thing has really taken off and I get the feeling that’s what he really wants to do now, so he’s restructured the show to allow him to do that more.

Your company is not exactly a neutral arbitrator on the matter...

RE: the college email address:

I liked The Monster of Florence. Its a pretty shocking account of the way the Italian justice system works and what a mess it is.

I’m familiar with the war monument regulations, as I go diving on a number of them off of the coast of North Carolina. Basically, they can be visited, but not entered or disturbed in any way, because they are considered gravesites for the sailors that went down on them.

I saw this in the Giants/Dodgers game last night. The Dodgers shifted on Belt, but left one guy on the left side to take away the bunt that he’s been using against teams that shift.

Another possible thought: The Warriors knew the risk. Durant knew the risk. He wanted to play, even knowing this could result, with the understanding that he had the player option to fall back on, should the worst result.

I loved all of this. Bumgarner getting salty and yelling at Dodgers is good. Muncy roasting him in return with a spectacular line like that is good. Baseball gets a fun story.

And crippled the Xbox One as a result... I’m still pissed. Given the cool shit they managed to do with the 360 in terms of making it a media hub, I was super pumped for what they could do with the next gen system. And then people piled on and all of those cool “does everything in one box” features were abandoned.

Cap and trade is basically the softer way to ease into the levels you want. A hard mandate results in (1) manufacturers going out of business; (2) manufacturers building crap cars that the public hates (see: the smog era); or (3) manufacturers raising prices of vehicles significantly to comply.

Not necessarily. Presumably, the costs of the credits vs. costs of developing your own compliant vehicles would shift over time (or could shift, given the right incentives from the government). Backsliding would be even more expensive (because you’d need to buy even more credits). Also, GM and Fiat and all the rest…

Not pissing off their carrier partners, mostly.

It will all make sense when the aliens finally reveal themselves as Bigfoot.

In order to get from that person, that version of Dany, to the one who barbecued THOUSANDS of innocents for NO REASON, you really need to do some detailed character work to show why she changed. And they really didn’t. Basically, she got pissy and sad about potentially losing her crown to Jon, and grumpy about…
