Save the pedestrian. It’s the only answer that avoids an arms race between manufacturers, armoring their cars so that they can protect their customers exclusively and abdicate their responsibility for the safety of others. Making carmakers only responsible for saving their passengers would ultimately mean even less…

Driven it twice. Watched feral hogs walking beside the roads both times. Huge animals which could easily destroy your car if you hit them kinda dampens the urge to go 85.

How ‘bout something simpler, like USE YOUR DAMN TURN SIGNALS. It makes you think about what you’re about to do and warns everyone else that you’re about to do it.

“The Idiot Teen On The Field At MNF Wrote His Number On His Chest, So We Called Him”

The first Cap film has an amazing score (including the USO interlude), and yes, I can hum the themes from Thor - but I will admit that I specifically paid attention to that one because Ken Branagh often uses Patrick Doyle for his films, and Doyle’s Shakespeare soundtracks are phenomenal. He also recorded what I…

Watch the target’s head: first it snaps back then it rolls to the side, bouncing off the shoulder as he collapses. It was definitely helmet contact first.

There were LOTS of incidents like this in the UT game last night. I was surprised none of them got called.

“...so rankers were encouraged to rate cities they had never personally been to...”

Carry a half-empty beer and you can feed your drunk friends the most outrageous information and advice, and they’ll believe you’re the drunk one.

This will still be NBC - they’ll put Sailor Moon on a rowing skiff just because nobody read the profile.

So that’s what that song sounds like without any discernible musical talent or the ability to sing.

It’s going to be really weird when a guy whispers “Ahoy...” to you.

It wasn’t in Dallas this time!

Look into the Frisco deals - every one of them gave the city much better terms and rights to use almost all of the facilities for other local purposes. Even facility ownership is divided most of the time. When it comes to sports management, Frisco knows what the hell it’s doing. They spend money, but they…

Good thing the guy’s a hell of an actor. Sure fooled everyone when he was mayor of a California town. I doubt he could have gotten elected if he had spoken his mind back then.

It’s certainly not a flattering drawing, but would people get just as upset if it were a Roman soldier in the same style?

Truck manufacturers have been experimenting with hybrids for a few decades now. So far, no electric or hybrid vehicle can match the power/acceleration under load of a long-haul diesel engine, though they have made inroads and improvements on smaller trucks. Tesla obviously has some experience with these challenges, so…

I read his first big speech after driving everybody else out of the Republican race. Every single time he said “You have to believe this...” he was flat out lying. Making up statistics, bold-faced fabrication of facts, everything. Most of the rest of the speech, he exaggerated and lied, but the real whoppers *always*…

A dear friend (who was an adjunct) handled student expectations this way. At the beginning of every semester he handed out a short essay which essentially explained the situation. I have given the full essay to all of my nieces and nephews as they started college. This is a rough paraphrase of his wisdom:

So he comes to the US, joins the MLS, gets rich, and plays soccer as a hobby. Sounds nice.
