I’ve really been enjoying Ratto’s columns on Deadspin. Can he stay? I feel bad for just now “discovering” him.

...are you familiar with General Motors?

even worse, the kid benched bortles and started cody kessler

It’s something to do with the system in general. Our company has been trying to get a colleague from the EU over to the US for a temporary stint for the last 18 months or so waiting on a visa. It’s always been fairly tough from what I know, but since ‘17 the system seems to have ground to a halt.

i’ve always thought it was because harden doesn’t get the ticky-tack regular season “fouls” in the playoffs and he’s not as scary for a team when you know that each rockets possession isn’t going to end in a harden bucket or a defensive foul. no numbers to support this, just my observations as a casual fan.

Eh, a furnace is still a furnace so there’s going to be some pretty hefty CO2 emissions, if that’s what you’re referring too. Other pollutants like NOx, SOx, PM2.5/10, and VOCs are all pretty tightly regulated. Advances in burner technology and unit ops like SCR/SNCR have indeed reduced pollution over the past few

Field hours are expensive. Work in the field can be delayed by weather. Generally speaking, shop hours are where you want to do a lot of the work, that way you just have interconnecting piping etc. when you plop things down in the field. Especially in places like Fort McMurray. I heard that union rules say during the

FYI, the industry term would be C3 Splitter, which is just a distillation column. It uses the same principles as a whisky still, but it acts like several stills in series, concentrating the product more and more in each subsequent stage. This particular column probably has around 100 or so stages and generates really

i need something cheap to run (i.e. not another audi), that won’t suck the life out of me when i drive it. something like a WRX wagon.

put some goddamn respect on FedEx name son.

yeah that’s not true. the lines still take forever. i mean, maybe if there was a burger king next door that had an equally long line, you’d get through the in-n-out line faster, but at my nearest location, it’s always 15-20 min waiting at the drive thru.

you take that back. in-n-out is trash compared to whataburger.

got my man christian looking like lt. doakes from dexter.

993s were in the 20s for a while....i kick myself every day for not buying one when they were cheap(er).

as a texans fan, i’m finding all these osweiler stories cathartic.

It’s Justin Reid, Eric Reid’s brother.

Stopped at a Chevy dealer to test drive a used C6 Vette they had in the lot. After convincing the salesman that I would need to drive the car before giving him a down payment (“unlike the rest of my Corvette customers who just buy Vettes sight-unseen”), he had me turn out of the parking lot, go less than a 1/4 mile to

I love how they felt like they needed to clarify which one of the cars pictured was the Syclone

Yeah, that wasn’t an issue for the B7 RS4 like it was for the B6 S4 and earlier models with the 4.2L. The shop I take my car to has several RS4s that they service over 100k+ miles and the timing chains and chain tensioners have all been reliable. Whatever Audi did to change it for the B7 RS4 has made the timing chain
