In regards to lightweight, reasonably powered sports cars, the ToyoBaru twins are still available. The MKV Supra isn’t exactly a porker, and it has less than 400hp. And if you’re going for something to be a second car for dedicated track/weekend use, new Caterhams are between $30k-$40k for the sub-200hp models.

x1,000 on the “anything that’s not a miata commentary” (though not necessarily on the headline.) Too many “modern” sports cars are seriously unenjoyable on 99% of roads. You’re either going at genuinely irresponsible speeds or you’re basically pottering about using 5% of the car’s potential.
My E36 M3 was right at the…

It’s not okay to wait a month for a doctor’s appointment, it’s not okay to have dirty streets in the city with one of the highest income taxes. And it’s not okay to put the responsibility on paying waiter’s salary on the customer. It’s time for change.

If these lazy leeches didn’t want to be pulled over, then they shouldn’t have broken the law. It’s what’s wrong with this culture: a lack of respect of rules and order. It’s important that they have stricter policing and should probably have more patrols to ensure these lawless thugs don’t raid a pension fund or fire…

1) they have a finite lifetime due to Hawking radiation, which is caused by the virtual particular “sea” that comprises vacuum or “space”. This means that black holes have a temperature and slowly lose mass over time. However the more massive a black hole, the lower its temperature and the slower it loses mass (which…

Its the singularity itself which is being measured here, but the only way to make inferences about it is by looking at how the matter around it is acting.

There’s definitely an aspect of rage bait going.

At some point, some time, somebody had to have told you not to drink bleach, or you didn’t learn until you could read the bottle. Because children need to learn things, which is why a lot of schools actually do teach primary school kids the dangers of drinking household cleaners and other substances. Ever seen the Mr.…

Snyder seems like the kind of guy who likes Dune because he thinks Paul is a badass and also there are giant worms that swallow dozens of people.

This show is what happens when the writing is too on the nose with the lore and acting is stifled by fan boy shouting. This show is sapped of ingenuity to appease “canon”. You can’t tell a new story anymore without the public railing for the same-old.

Concerning.

“Ooh, that’s bad!”

You’re right, it would be much easier for these gig economy tech companies to buy their fleet of taxis, maintain all the vehicles, pay for the fuel whilst drive around the city with no parking, and driving the passengers around, and then still have time to pay off their CEO millions whilst laying off their employees…

We have arrived at the crux of the issue, I think. At the question “how much violence is the state allowed to use with our tolerance and for our protection”.

All rape is (also) psychological abuse. I don't see your point. There is no good rape.

It’s not “counterproductive”. It is an abomination. Again, I understand the sentiment, but we must decide to not be like them. Not to forgive, fuck forgiveness. Certainly not to forget or excuse. But we cannot become like the rapists.

Look, we can talk about the death penalty. But there is no “rape penalty” - and there shouldn’t be. There shouldn’t be, because it then normalizes rape, a thing which is not normal and has no justification ever. I understand the hate and revulsion, I feel it myself. But this narrative of “haha, you’ll go to jail and…

Rape is rape. There is no good rape and bad rape. It is all bad. Rape is not a tool of reformation or an instrument of revenge. We are not Tate.

If you can’t read between the lines of this story about a shitty celebrity coming into an unethically low-paying job and complaining about the location’s low sales numbers on his trash merch, then I’d argue that you’re more likely the person who’s never done retail work. That wouldn’t be fun for anyone but the largest…

>But there is no logical reason for her to be a Paladin, even with 5E’s loosy goosy half assed requirements.
