been thinking about wireless noise cancelling. Is the bose NR really that much better than a Sony or Plantronics I can get for half the price?

JetBlue gets love because they’re one of the cheaper NYC/BOS-LAX/SFO carriers. They’re also very popular with New York and New England snowbirds flying to Florida and the Caribbean.

I’ve been hiking and biking urban trails in Philly for many years, and I’ve only been murdered 3 times. It’s not a big deal.

ESPN’s ultimatum shouldn’t even be called a bid, they basically came to the table and said “you have no other options, we’re never giving you more money, but we’ll throw you a bone and give you one game a week and stream every playoff game on ESPN3".

nah, deadspin has tinfoil-hatted prorelistas, who blame MLS for american soccer not magically being on par with the nba and NHL after just two decades of finally having a stable pro league, which is far worse than ESPN’s apathy.

can they also work on Android’s “other” biggest problem: mediocre apps. I finally gave up and went to iphone because I got tired of seeing amateur hour on android and polished design on iphone, for the exact same apps.

except ESPN’s MLS coverage is incredibly weak, and most actual fans don’t use it for anything other than checking the scoreboard. Their soccer coverage is entirely targeted at bandwagon eurosnobs.

That not to say MLS isn’t lagging far behind the euro bandwagon for eyeballs, but it’s still a fatally flawed metric. It’s…

for two seats, yeah, but some seats only have like 40 inches of seatbelt attached, that’s pretty average these days.

Busways require significantly more vehicles to match a low end LRV, and to match multi-car light rail trains buses essentially need a 4 lane highway.

that may actually be an RFID or NFC sticker on the phone case, not mobile payment.

Allegedly Philly’s tap cards go public next month, and they say it will work with phones once the cards are working smoothly. Of course, SEPTA has been delaying rollout for years, so who knows.

My 1st car was a 242 and my second was an 850 turbo.

the sixers also claim to be a relevant professional sports franchise, and that their alleged thousands of fans don’t show up, or watch on tv, or buy their merchandise for completely not made up reasons.

an exec touted the fact that WatchESPN is a default app and on the top row of all Apple TV- and Roku-type services

Is it even worth getting TSA PreCheck or Global Entry at this point?

Don’t forget about the 3 ton GVWR scam deduction. It creates a huge incentive to buy pickups or large SUVs.

I’ll miss the character, but not really the show

Please tell me this will free up Marvel and Star Wars characters to come into Lego Dimensions.

I was working in Delaware at the time, and we had people in from our San Francisco office. As soon as the shaking started, they bolted for the stairwells, while most of us just kind of looked around with the mutual thought of “wha.... is this an earthquake or something?” I figured it was just a diesel tanker turning…

Soccer is a British term, used to clarify what type of football is being discussed when there might be another type of football it could be confused with. Since every form of football stems from rugby-like pickup games, no version of football has a special claim on the word “football”
