How sad is it that 300lb at 5'9" isn’t considered abnormal?

last i checked roads are in much greater demand than rail.

Those routes aren’t really public transportation. They’re land-cruises for railfans. And the answer is basically senate representation. The Senate (especially western Republicans) doesn’t want to spend public money on transportation for the dense coasts, so extracts some pork of their own as compensation. In addition…

The Acela is actually profitable for Amtrak, and several other urban routes break even or come close. Where Amtrak loses a ton of money is on the long and slow cross country routes. Those could be cut without much negative effect, but they won’t be as they are protected by Senators from the big empty states.

“...the city will hold a closed session to discuss the budget next Monday.”

There’s roughly 300,000 African Americans in Mecklenburg County. The $175 million would be better off spend giving each person $583.33. Better stimulus for the county than helping buying a stadium for a private business.

In literally any other situation I would say fuck this guy, but fuck the Virginia DMV. Fuck the fucking DMV for sending my new license plate to a tertiary address on my account that hadn’t been my apartment for 5 years and then telling me that I couldn’t order a new one until the old one was either sent back or had…

Why are pennies still in production?

I remember this contest. It was in the 90's and it was based on Who shot Mr. Burns. All i can remember is swimming in the summer and thinking it has to be Maggie because she is the least suspect. And i should have mailed it : ( but i was a kid ,I regret it the rest of my life i would have one the Simpson house and…

The whole 20th Century Motors story is just waiting for someone to make a legit movie of it.

For the most part Uber for me has been cheaper, cleaner, offered nicer cars, not refused my trips due to distance, non-surly drivers, no asshole dispatcher to call to get a ride maybe withing an hour and my payment is flawless.

The Bronco’s been discontinued. We’re trying to shed that whole “fugitive on the run thing.” This is the Escape!

The fact that a Chinese court is enforcing ip owned by a western company was something unheard of just 10 years ago. Awarding damages for copying cars that have the eyes in the wrong place has significant implications on global trade.

As an example of this, until its disestablishment in 2012, the Grand Council of Chiefs continued to recognize Elizabeth II as Paramount Chief of Fiji even after Fiji became a republic and she ceased to be head of state.

This truly made my morning. What a fitting end to a truly reprehensible person. Do not RIP Fidel, Do not.

I find it amazing that most people do not think further ahead in life than 5 minutes. So now you will be going to jail over someone you didn’t even know 5 minutes ago, you will also pay all kinds of money and possibly not drive again for years. sounds logical to me!

Whats old is new again.

Elizabeth Warren is looking rough

Winston tastes good like a *clap, clap* cigarette should.

Yeah sure, but I bet he was The Worst about it.
