This is the correct price for the MacBook Air, and Apple shouldn’t be charging more than this in the first place.

Or an (unfortunately nearly extinct) Box On Wheels. My friend with a Honda Element convinced me that, however dumb it looks from some angles, the car’s really a miracle of engineering. Everything in the back lies flat, and the car does a great job of letting you use the full internal volume for stuff.

As other posters pointed out, the do exist (The RAM Tradesman, and the base Colorado has an MSRP of around $22k - $1k more than a Honda Civic, and you get all the GM discount options). I do get your point, though - though they exist, they’re far from prevalent - however the flip side of the coin is that, in some ways,…

THIS. It’s one thing if a feature on the car “acts up,” or if you’ve got to use your own ass to heat your damn seat, and another if your car is leaking fluids or the transmission is barely functional at 30,000 miles.

At least that suggests one option for renaming the team...

A very expensive booth at a trade show I go to has a golf simulator in the booth (which also looks very expensive), just to generate foot traffic. It is ALWAYS busy despite being, well, as terrible as you’d think.

I was thinking more before the preseason, when he had more time, but, yeah.

I’m amazed Trae Young had the self-control to stop himself grinning ear to ear halfway through that game.

Montreal is the backup? The last 4 years that Montreal had a baseball team, its attendance figures only cracked 1 million once, and even then was barely over it. The other years were in the 750k range.

As said elsewhere, at the National level (only) you’re docked 3 points for every second you go above the standard course time. It’s kinda dumb, like assessing a penalty stroke for being too far over par (like, what’s the point? they’re already way over par!), but, well, there we go.

Another poster got it - there’s a penalty for going over time - but a bit more detail: There’s a Standard Course Time determined by the judges (it’s a number determined by course length, and “standard” here isn’t a synonym of “average” - it’s more like the opposite of “par” in golf, and most dogs at this level…

Honestly, there should be laws on packaging that greatly encourage (or almost mandate) recyclable (or compostable) materials in packaging. There’s recyclable alternatives available for the vast majority of uses of non-recyclable materials, from molded cardboard instead of polystyrene on out. Without (preferably…

Amazon’s probable defense: “Well, how would we have enough talent to write/direct/produce all the original content we need if we excluded ALL the sleazebag white males who may have abused women? We just didn’t realize it was this bad when we hired him.”

Here’s the thing: Though they talked about ending the state and local taxes (SALT) and mortgage interest deductions, they didn’t.

I still think that the “Internet pricing” that some dealerships do is worse, since not all dealerships do it, and the Internet price almost invariably includes every possible manufacturer incentive that they can stack: It’s $X, but only if you’re an employee and veteran or active duty service member and who recently…

The ironic thing about it is that I can’t really think of nearly as many “great” beers made with rice. There’s certainly a lot of Asian lagers that intentionally put in a fair amount, and there’s a brewery north of Detroit that makes a “double rice IPA” (Kuhnhenn Brewing Company) that intentionally incorporates rice…

Whoa, you mean a person doesn’t have to be either a perfect villain or a perfect hero? Are you saying people are complex and don’t easily fit into boxes?

My commute takes me past one of the rail yards for Chicago commuter trains, and there's one of those that's typically parked along the perimeter of the yard. I always thought it'd be fun riding on one, just for a bit. 

Unions can alleviate some of the problem, but really, it’s the US’s basically non-existent employment law that needs to change. (Unions can help organize around those changes, but although they’ve supported progressive candidates in the past, actually have somewhat of an incentive against working for strong labor…

I’ve really wanted an actual combination trackball-mouse, where you could conceivably use it by moving it around on your desk or the wheel.
