I appreciated how Bourdain evolved from the cheeky American asshole in Cook’s Tour to the more respectful “I want to be everyone’s friend” in No Reservations to the “food is just how I talk about the bigger stuff” guy in Parts Unknown. He cut down on the wisecracking (somewhat) and turned into someone who was…

How fucking hard is it for a cop to park in front of him. They just keep following like ducks

The medallion is too expensive. Cities always pull shit like this and then wonder why things go wrong. Uber and Lyft are the future, and as of now the “geniuses” in the various cities haven’t come in yet to ruin that. I drive for both Uber and Lyft and let me tell you, it’s been wonderful, especially since me and my…

700k? are you kidding me? how in the fuck could any cab driver ever make that back?

Add to that the very reason for Uber and Lyft’s existence is because the taxi industry (read: companies not the individual drivers) refused to innovate and make it more convenient for consumers. Before, when we would call for a cab in San Francisco, one would only show up about 20% of the time. It was ridiculous.

I can fix this, easily. Thanks for asking.

There’s a simple change that would make not just Monaco much more enjoyable, but F1 in general:

It may have been more exciting when the cars were small enough to fit two or more cars side-by-side. With modern F1 cars, you could barely fit two. When there is no passing, it’s a parade. I don’t think there is anyway to fix this particular race without scaling the cars down. Maybe that’s what F1 needs overall.

Why not just remove the engine and rebuild it when you remove the light so you don’t have to do it later - which we all know is inevitable.

Nope me too. And I would have rather seen a picture of the injured man (or no pic at all) than a picture of a dead cougar who was trying to survive while we humans walk/ride around in what’s left of his house. Fuck us all. Truly sad for all involved.

I agree, and the Cougar’s condition probably helped lead to the attack. If it wasn’t starving it might have been discouraged and looked for smaller, easier prey after getting whacked with a bike. I live in Washington, and enjoy hiking and camping in the Cascades and Olympics. Luckily I have never encountered a Cougar…

pretty tough, unless they were armed.

Our bodies are not built to fight large cats. We have thin skin that doesn’t do a good job protecting our vitals from large claws and huge teeth. We’re good at problem solving and throwing things, and we’re built to do some physical things quite well, but fighting large cats and bears is not what we excel at.

Is it terrible that I feel bad for the cougar too? Sounds like it was sick and starving. Really unfortunate all around.

Show up at a school shooting with a gun.....what the fuck?

Fuck that asshole.

Why was he even allowed near a crime scene?

Oh, they’re already calling these kids “crisis actors” and saying that the shooter was a paid liberal operative.

And this idiot...

Can’t wait for Tan Julius, BirdofPrey, and Max Contrarian to swing by the comments to fling their opinions around like chimps slinging shit. I’m certain Tanny Boy will somehow bring up Hamas in the discussion.
