I wish I had another star for this comment.

Yeah, I feel like this was definitely a joke lost in translation. It seems like Putin was basically saying, “you are lucky to do something so cool for a living, how can you call it a job?”

Are we certain this isn’t Russian “humor”

24 and 60 were based on the Babylonians using the JOINTS of their digits to count, a snippet I always found fascinating

This. Clocks and the notion of “time of day” are nothing more than a way to keep track of and predict when certain occurrences in the sky will happen.

I think a lot here are confusing a time cycle vs time measurement. A day is not 24 hours, it is a cycle of sun rise to sun set, we measure that cycle with time/clocks. Time, as we use it, is a man man construct.

That looks like a lot of fun.

Mirra almost died in the early 90's from a tramatic brain injury. Ironically, it wasn’t on a bike. He fractured his skull when a drunk driver hit him in a crosswalk as he was leaving a bar. Almost ended his career before it really started.

So, apples to apples, the USWNT pull the same ratings as the men in the USA and are treated much less favorably financially, plus the ladies actually win.

I believe the technical term is drywall mud.

Nobody in the saga can match the (whining) power of Luke Skywalker. Nobody. In that respect, Rey is like the anti-Luke.

Legit question - can you be charged with a crime in Great Britain for what he said??

Really, Clarkson killed it when he punched that bloke. I mean, you can argue that the BBC should’ve let it slide ‘cause of his popularity but, well, that’d hardly be fair. When you punch a coworker, while already on notice about your behaviour at work, you shouldn’t really expect latitude. At least, that's how I see…

Here’s how I understood it: nothing really fully protects you from a bad guy who’s determined to do a bad thing. But flowers and candles (and everything they symbolize) protect us from cynicism and meanness and living lives characterized by fear (and all of the other goals of terrorism).

I’ve actually got knowledge on this one. Paypal offers no protections to a buyer or seller when it comes to automotive purchases. Now both parties can still dispute the issue and b/c paypal is fairly automated and something will end up happening either way. The case would just have to be escalated to the point of a…

I’m not so sure about that - I have never studied it. I have heard of problems people have had where a buyer complains to PayPal and says the item they received was damaged or not as promised and so on.

While you’re right, what’s the Ferrari FF have to do with it?

And, you don’t kick things with your knee, you knee them with your knee.

Hi eyes go forward before Marquez loses the front, hard to believe he could hit the lever - with guard or not - without distinctly looking for it.
