"Because I just don't like you." That's a whopper, because how can anyone not like me?

That's nothing. The site told me it was insufficiently powerful to tell my how long it would take to crack my password, but gave me detailed instructions for building a more powerful site that would be able to tell me the answer.

Yes and yes. ;)

Oh I get the usefulness of having a paper copy. I just haven't seen one in at least five years.

They still deliver Yellow Pages?!? I'd be more surprised to see that than an entire parliament of owls on my doorstep.

She seems to be betting rather heavily on new Middle Earth movies being made in the near future. Or perhaps a Peter Pan reboot.

But doesn't Tinder charge extra for the olds now?

Same. I did advanced mathematics in college but, through decades of non-use, I can barely tell you the difference between an integral and a ham sandwich today.

The true horror of this encounter is that the idiot human videoed in portrait mode.

Even if it corners like a hovercraft, it'll be an improvement on the stock Trax.

I was being a bit facetious with my final sentence. It's equally possible that the people who complained (if there were indeed any) were "upwardly mobile" Rochester residents who resented their town being depicted as "trashy."

I lived in Frankfurt for several years as a teen and there were regular stories of American service personnel and their spouses being maimed and injured on the autobahn, by virtue of driving their VW bus at 60 kph in the left lane.

I'm guessing it's the overall context. The pic shows a stereotypical type of "working class" home, complete with white van, garishly porticoed yet cheap terraced (row) house, and the George Cross flag. The George Cross is the national flag of England, but it has also become a symbol of a certain thuggish, white…

Yeah, he/she had a pretty horrible surprise. The truck in the Number 2 lane was like theater curtains, parting to reveal the carnage coming from the right.

As others have commented, the BBC has wanted Clarkson out for some time and this was the straw that did it.

"All the Gears"

Another great BBC America original production. Oh, wait...

It's an easy mistake to make. After hundreds of hours playing Gran Turismo, Forza, etc., I just sort of expect the guardrails on real tracks to gently steer be back onto the course.

So, it's sort of the realpolitik way of saying "buy our magazine or we'll shoot this puppy"?

Rovell, and other 'free market capitalists' like him, rely on public ignorance of the word "free" in this context. It's actually an acronym, standing for "fully rigged, end to end". Armed with this new information, we can see that their arguments make perfect, coherent sense.
