I am utterly amazed at the sheer ignorance and trite ‘animal rights’ aspects of many of the completely worthless, and often completely false, arguments against milk I’m reading in the comments here.

“the 5 freeway” ... “I-5 freeway” ... why do so many people use this bizarrely redundant structure to describe this road? Interstate 5 is normally written “I-5" and pronounced “eye five”. That’s all you need to say, that’s all you need to write. I understand that SoCal drivers are conditioned to specify by means of a…

There are some very simple, albeit potentially expensive, infrastructure fixes that could ameliorate pedestrian/car interactions substantially: build fucking pedestrian BRIDGES at busy intersections.

... which makes me think, how well would autonomous vehicles handle driving in unmarked / unpaved open areas with random objects / vehicles / campsites / etc. spaced in no definite pattern? I’m picturing some of those large unpaved temporary campgrounds that are often just in an open field, with cars and trucks and…

cheaper (minus travel), more tropical, and less Floridian

Well, as far as finger wagging is concerned ... “can’t afford to buy it” is in no way, shape or form actual justification for stealing a game which you do not in any way, shape or form need for survival. It’s not like stealing a loaf of bread if you’re penniless and starving, do you see what I mean?

Just when exactly did the word “progressive” morph into this bizarre code for hard-core left-wing radical? It’s bad enough that the hard-core right-wing reactionaries have taken control of the word ‘conservative’ and turned what used to be a perfectly good socio-political concept into a label for racist…

I think our public school systems need to include skilled trade academies (including but not limited to mechanics, wood working, metal working, electronics, even engineering) ... the college prep channel is fine for many generic degree paths (MBAs are dime a dozen, found everywhere and worth next to nothing) but…

Schools simply aren’t turning out enough machinists.

I think a lot of folk who question either the utility of cup holders or the practice of drinking coffee in a car don’t understand American commuter culture.

For what it’s worth both the question and the answer are wrong ... there currently ARE luxury minivans. There just aren’t any luxury BRAND minivans.

homonym alert ...

Word up. I have never played a game where I knew and expected “permadeath” to be a part of the gameplay. I’ve been playing PC games for almost a quarter century, and the whole “permadeath” and “ironman” playstyle is something I never even heard of until just two or three years ago.

a partial panacea

“One Of The Biggest Motorcycle Magazines ...”

The viddy is cool and all, but I think there are a lot of clues in there to point out why that war is going the way it is ... the absolute unprofessionalism of the tank crew (reminds me of Kelly’s Heroes in a way), and the apparent complete lack of strategy or tactics ... “hmm, the enemy is purported to be about a…

My point is that he didn’t apologise for punching Tymon in the face. He apologise for the incident. It’s a non-apology, apology.

Yeah, but my “recycled” settlers ALSO say the exact same lines ... Bostonian Lady Settler at Starlight Drive-In says the same thing as Other Bostonian Lady Settler at Hangman’s Alley who says the exact same thing as Another Bostonian Lady Settler at Sanctuary Hills, etc. etc. etc. Different hair, different clothes,…

I haven’t watched the vid up there ... and unless this “secret Deacon” character actually comes out and says he’s Deacon in every instance, then I’m gonna hafta say this ‘easter egg’ is bogus, and that what we see is in all reality just another recycled character model like you initially thought.

I think that’s cool, an acroym as a name, lol! ... I’d steal your idea, but it may be too late as my kids are teenagers now and would probably react negatively to me trying to change their names.
