It’s not meant to fit a “train-type vehicle.” It’s meant to fit passenger car-sized vehicles.

He made a much smaller tunnel that wouldn’t fit a decently sized train type vehicle in it, without needing to pass nearly as many regulatory hurdles as a longer, functional tunnel would, that also seems to have less features a normal tunnel has.

No, they didn’t ignore it. It’s not relevant.

Channing Robertson is covering his ass and I literally don’t understand why he isn’t in jail right now. He is either lying about his belief in Elizabeth’s ideas or was lying about his ability levels to Stanford for decades. How is every paper he ever wrote, every patent he ever filed, every machine he ever built not…

That was the weirdest thing! Someone said it on the podcast, I wanna say it was the Stanford medical school prof who was like, people study biology and engineering and chemistry for decades before having a true scientific breakthrough but this person studies a year and change in undergrad but is suddenly a…

Because Iowa was on the side he was making fun of. That’s it. That’s why he took it down.

Why are you calling Hayward’s move a stepback? 

He was not. Which is irrelevant unless you’re willing to argue with a straight face that literally everything that is against the law is worse than literally everything that isn’t. (Which is an argument, I should warn you, that would mark you as too stupid to keep commenting privileges on this website!)

Jesus, you guys. This is appalling and embarrassing from a comment community ordinarily as smart as ours. Levenson was not pressured to sell over the email. He was pressured to sell because the email revealed not just racism, but racism being brought directly to bear on the operations of an NBA franchise. If you don’t…

He really only pushed the envelope once he literally had one NFL game left to broadcast, just as he neared retirement age. It’s admirable, yes, and I acknowledged his integrity by quoting Lipsyte. But let’s not pretend he actually risked his career here.

We don’t partner with or pay the league. Pretty big difference.

This is *without question* the most fair way to do this. I am flabbergasted by people thinking she is somehow getting persecuted here. If she was competing against literally everyone, of course there wouldn’t be a problem, but she’s not. She is competing in a restricted division (women’s) with hormone levels that do…

Or maybe Kaep would have said there is nothing in the CBA or his contract forcing him to stand so they have no right ro suspend him for it, the league would have come back with some bullshit “conduct unbecoming” catchall, and the NFL would have ended up in court, yet again, and probably lost, yet again.

I mean, you could just acknowledge that there’s a problem with police brutality directed towards people of color. That seems like the easiest solution.

So, if only Kaepernick had bowed to the pressure exerted by the league to sell out his heartfelt protest, he’d still have a job? Too bad the NFL didn’t think of that!

There is a very strange union of spiritually and weight loss in some evangelical churches. Apparently the healthier (read: thinner) you are, the closer to God, I guess?

Me liked series in general, and this episode in particular, but me not loved way they Padme’d Kit. Me not doctor or anything, but “me can’t have lifesaving medicine because it’ll hurt baby that going to be outside of my body in 20 minutes” not seem that medically sound. They also made her look about six months…

Making an emotional connection to a character (and actor) with all the charisma of a cinder block wall the lynchpin of the finale was a misstep. Shame, because the casting was so spot on in every other way.

I liked to look of the show, and the acting at times was fantastic (that redhead girl in particular), but as soon as Allison Williams showed up, it just took a nosedive for me...the last 3 episodes in particular were just a mess to me.
