It’s an issue of space and weight. The batteries required are huge and heavy, as are the generators and whatever is fueling them. Another large problem is cost. Bunker fuel and diesel are wildly cheaper (particularly in the volumes that they’re being purchased) than any electric solution would be. With current tech,…

Build every airport at the top of huge hills, and all the planes can roll down and gain speed that way! Haven’t worked out the landing part yet though, I’ll get back to you.

That was definitely what I thought immediately too, esp. being that he refers to him in the present tense in the sentence immediately before...

Ohio State is making a run for the title of chest-thumpingest fans, and if they win it all this year, they may eclipse the Yankees at least for a time as the fans you least want to be around for any length of time.

So who’s job is it gonna be to punch him next season?

I am anything but a hippy but Birks or GTFO. How anyone can stand having a piece of plastic between their toes all day long continues to astound me. (And yes, before you post it, I’m aware a small percentage of Birkenstock models are of the between-the-toes variety but most are not.) Plus Birks have kickass arch…

Not to take anything away from the guy as it’s obviously very impressive, but having a giant team of people checking your intake down to the ounce and shielding you from the goddamn wind sort of puts a bit of a tarnish on it.

Stupid question: is there some kind of financial advantage in forcing people to download a specific company’s launcher? I feel like I’m not any more likely to buy a Rockstar game just because I have their software, esp. given that much of their stuff is on Steam anyway...

It dovetails nicely into their “the real racists are the ones calling people racist” routine, so...yes, yes they are.

Really eh, how many rings do you have?

This is the epitome of talks much, says nothing...wtf are you even talking about? Did you just look up some words you thought were clever and put them in a post? Spencer Tracy? Do you even know who that is?

I’m sorry but if this is the case then fuck every pitcher who ever pretends to get offended by a hitter looking at a home run for 0.2 seconds longer than he “should.” I love baseball but this is why people hate baseball. What an absolute joke. I still have no idea why baseball players think they deserve some kind of…

No one even noticed they’re calling it “Sactown?” Are you kidding? Let us know when your sport is even remotely serious and we’ll stop mistaking you for the WNBA and their ridiculous multicoloured ball. Anything that makes soccer look appealing should be very seriously reconsidered. Anyway back to the 3 major sports...

Is she aware that he only gets to be President Poopy Pants for a maximum of 8 years? Like is she ramping up for an impeachment hearing in 2050? “I tell ya Donny, if you keep up being the worst, most corrupt president in the universe for 10 or 20 more years, one of these days we’re gonna get ya.”

how is he still the president

A lot of good people on both sides?

2 quick ones:

Counterpoint: hockey announcers/sportscasters say National Hockey League a fair bit. Particularly when they’re talking about contracts. “He might end up the highest paid defenceman in the National Hockey League.” “This kid’s got talent, but he’s gonna have to keep it up to a very high level if he’s gonna be successful…

MLS announcers drive me to drink because if I’m hearing them, that means someone has a soccer game on somewhere. And as if it’s not bad enough that soccer is on, it’s MLS, with their fake-Euro-Premier League names to appease the pretentious soccer dorks who didn’t wanna tell people in the early years that they like…

Cops are the fucking worst. They don’t see anything, they “observe.” If you say something, you didn’t say it, you “indicated to the arresting officer.” There are no people, just “individuals.” It doesn’t hold any more water if you use big words, fellas.
