Soccer is really just getting a handle on its concussion problems...

It’s worth saying, though it might not be obvious, that the FIFA qualification is easily rigged. It’s not an “average” performance, instead; it’s more of a sum where the more you play, the more points you’re likely to have.

Sure, but what it comes down to is “don’t royally eff up your performance in the Hex.” Mexico ended the hex that year - even with the late, lucky goal - with half the points of the US, a negative goal differential, and well behind Costa Rica and Panama.

I mean, sure, in general, but the other way of looking at it is that you’re just rolling over the debt from one car loan to another, and depending on the timing, that might mean you’re avoiding some significant maintenance costs (even tires are a non-tiny % of the value of say, a 3-year-old car).

Nothing more American than buying a car while you’re still paying off your old one.

Double this, especially since those “basic economy” fares are pretty new on American, and not explained that well on other sites like Orbitz. You might have still been out some of the money, but I suspect you could have had some of it back.

It’s worse than that: CNN, more than any network, was responsible for giving Trump airtime on the so-called “birther controversy” during the Obama administration, and I really think that if Trump doesn’t get to be a talking head on TV talking about that, he doesn’t run for president (or win the nomination. There were…

The space race between the Soviets and the U.S. was remarkable for several reasons, of course, and perhaps most remarkable for the Soviet Union, since that country put the first man in space less than two decades after being devastated by World War II. Each country was starting from zero, but the Soviets started from…

It’s really an anti-consumer move since keeping HDMI would have been a... $3-5 cost? The SoC and everything else still supports it.

Name is misleading since the console doesn’t “Switch.”  Maybe call it the Nintendo Switched? The Nintendo Sub? I don’t know, but seems a lot like misleading marketing...

What happened to people just letting things slide at work?

The problem is that American Airlines doesn’t have a dress code. They’ve got vague words about things that aren’t OK, and that’s not the same thing. If they said that men needed a jacket and tie, and women needed a dress (of whatever length) and/or a suit with appropriate hosiery, that’s dickish and no one would fly…

I wish that we’d replaced the EV tax credit (which is only useful for people who buy new cars, and is increasingly rewarding EV laggards rather than supporting EV makers) with a much more generous charger tax credit, available to homeowners, landlords, and commercial property. (In a perfect world, the chargers would…

Renting can be a great option if 5-10% of your driving is really different from the other 90%, though I’d say that a carshare actually loses some of the fun, since you can now get rent some really fun vehicles: Weekend getaway somewhere nice looking? Get the sports car you wish you always had. Weeklong camping trip…

It’s the guts of the i3 stuffed into the shell of a Cooper, so your experience is probably a pretty accurate gauge for how the Cooper SE will drive.

I’m sorry, this thing looks like it’s at least 50% larger than the Smart or iQ. As a point of comparison, at 3,895mm long and 1750mm wide, its actually a little bit bigger than the 3rd gen Honda Civic.

On one hand, that’s true, on the other hand, output is output, and she’s been the one that’s put the ball in the back of the net the past couple matches.

Part of it is the way she’s been mobbed when she gets the ball, but I agree that she hasn’t really been that effective.

The De’Longhi 3-in-1 Portable AC 350 Sq. Ft is $210 and should be more than enough for a 12" x 12" apartment bedroom.

Banks shouldn’t be able to discriminate between customers based on anything other than legal action or customer behavior that harms the bank (such as defaulting on loans or writing checks that won’t clear repeatedly). We should have learned that lesson a long time ago - banks have discriminated against (legal) immigran…
