Where in the US were you? If you were in one of the few major cities with decent transit, that could be a factor, because in the vast majority of this country it is virtually impossible to exist without being able to drive a car. Those cities also have some of the best healthcare systems. So people who need service…

What if I hate basketball at any level?

They’ll probably be announcing a new NLL team in Philly any day now. They announced a team in San Diego on Tuesday, and reports that Philly is next.

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that the Cardinals got handed a called third strike that far outside. Their celebration must have felt so hollow without an opposing player collapsed on the basepath with a potentially career ending injury.

It was a gamble to try to finally get Seattle a team, but yet again Seattle’s basketball ownership screwed them.

Las Vegas is the 29th largerst metro according to the census

I always assumed that “knowing your neighbors” was one of those shallow patronising Mayberry rituals. That’s not to say I don’t know plenty of people in my neighborhood, but they’re friends from activities, not just proximity. Same goes for making friends at work. If I have a bunch in common with someone, sure, but I…

For carryon I always go with 2 changes of underwear/socks, a pair of pants, and at least one shirt. I always use a backpack to reduce the likelihood of getting it gatechecked.

Agreed. Those orei universal outlets with the side plug are also really handy if you have to unplug something to access an outlet. I just don’t like how bulky some of them are. I have them for UK and China style outlets, but I went with the lower profile

if you don’t need the universal plugs, this one is even better:

I have the 4 port version, and it’s pretty great. Only problem is that it’s a bit bulky compared to the flatter Anker chargers, but the slide on international plugs make up for that by being smaller than the adapters I carry for my laptop.

I refuse to watch nationally broadcast penguins games because the announcers are blatantly rooting for the crybaby. What I see is him left alone more than any other star player because defenders are utterly terrified of him diving and drawing a phantom penalty. You should try watching someone like John Tavares, Ryan…

The NHL doesn’t want the Flyers to win, they’ve invested 40 years in making them the “heel” of the league. They’re also the only American team whose fanbase will stick around when they don’t win a playoff series for a few straight years, so the league is less concerned about propping them up. Meanwhile, the NHL had a…

I can barely stand to watch the NHL any more because they clearly play favorites. Just like the NFL has refs throwing games with inane holding and pass interference calls, and MLB uses the strike zone to try to pick winners, the NHL gives refs a few tools to work with.

Charge time is only meaningless if you have a garage. Millions of drivers don’t. Millions don’t have driveways either, even if they wanted to leave a high voltage cord exposed. Charging overnight simply isn’t an option for many people.

hell, I’m in my 30s, but getting my head under the roof of my Camry (sigh) is a bit of a stretch.

I think there’s a bit of height race when it comes to CUVs. It’s become increasingly difficult to see around other vehicles because more and more of them are tall, so people need a tall ride, but still want it to feel like a car.

Neutral:

Yes, I would totally buy a Renegade if it was made by Toyota (or Mazda).
