What’s stupid is that car makers are fully capable of meeting the efficiency standards. Engines have become vastly more efficient over the decades. But instead of that translating to gains in mpg, it translates to gains in horsepower while mpg remains stagnant. Instead of stuffing another 100hp into a Ford family…

My family was in Germany during the war and their strategy of keeping their heads down and hoping it would pass didn’t work. By 1945 most of the homes and the family business had been bombed into the ground and most of the men had died or disappeared in Russia.

Not even joking, I miss Oklahoma thunderstorms. Moved to the Pacific Northwest, and all I get now is drizzle. There’s something existentially satisfying about a good thunderstorm. I don’t know what it is. I was in a store in Portland once and there was a thunderclap (a thunderclap, as in one, which is about right for…

Damn, I would have killed to have so many girls interested in mainstream gaming when I was in high school. All these boys are lacking vision: a shared interest is an unbeatable icebreaker. Dumbasses.

“The Charger is the last RWD full-size American sedan.” — sure yes, but there are other RWD full-size sedans out there for somebody looking for a full-side sedan. And “American” is a misnomer for a car assembled in Canada for a company run by Italians.

Here’s the thing. It wasn’t close in the second half; it wasn’t even close. UMBC slowed the game down to Virginia’s snail pace then outworked them. Also it was a speed difference, as Virginia defenders couldn’t stay with UMBC’s guards.

Or...you know...maybe a manually opening glovebox.

For sophomoric ski bro humor? I think he did show contrition for that. He treated her “like one of the boys,” and took the practical joking a couple of steps too far. But he seems to have acknowledged he was an idiot, in a way that created a feeling of sexual hostility. I assume there isn’t much more he can say…

Because nobody said jack to White about this lawsuit for months till its asked right after he won gold. Basically nobody would have been reminded of this settled lawsuit if he finished 4th.

My attitude is, “Sean White is not as bad as Harvey Weinstein.” I’m not shrugging it off. I’m just recognizing that he doesn’t deserve the same punishment.

because social media has made us entitled little assholes, myself included, and we expect to be pandered to for the dopamine hit.

You’re such a brave hero for pointing out that nothing happened to a man who was never charged with a crime and settled a lawsuit.

Honest question - would this story have been written if he did not win gold? It seems like there was ample time to discuss White in the lead up to the games. I am not defending him, I don’t personally have any affinity for the guy, he kinda sounds like a piece of shit and I know many people that know him and have…

Hold the Pickle was really the best volume in that series, though Open Sesame Seed Buns is not without its charms.

Cock Robbler, on the other hand, is the name of a homoerotic Hamburglar fan fiction series.

Which is best?

That was my first thought as well. But dear god, how is it I get 4k from my nest cams and these fuckers can’t get a clearer shot than this?

I attended the super bowl where Prince performed and it was exactly the same. You couldn’t even really hear what was going on. They design the show for TV, not for the crowd.

Superchargers have a shitty whine that reminds me of a failing transmission. Turbochargers sound like a jet engine under the hood.
