Rashida Jones is Quincy Jones daughter! I had no idea.

Yeah. But the mayor should not forget taxing the *wealth* of those that live in NYC, not just earnings.

Driverless cars just might work if they have special roads built for them where no other cars, people, bicycles or anything else can interact with them.

This is the most interesting thing about the Dodge Durango.

With the high quality we have in NFL teams all around, the schedule should definitely be extended to 18 games like the owners want.

Ditto. I am trying to kick my NFL habit this season. No 10 AM kick offs drinking coffee (sigh). Jim Irsay being himself does make it easier. It would help a lot more if the Seahawks would stink (the nearest NFL team to me).

Give em hell #truthteller!

Is the XJ a new design? I understood the F type was the only new Jag platform.

This new car is built on an extended version of the Lincoln LS platform right? That seems like a poor idea.

If this ship actually mattered to the US’s defense I would be upset. But it doesn’t.

Campaign finance reform is the answer. If campaign spending or donations were capped the donations of defense contractors would not rule.

A lot of trends, products, etc have risen and fallen with the boomer generation. Maybe HD and big motorcycles are examples. Automobiles may be similarly affected.

I desperately miss my 99 9-3 (even more than my 81 Cutlass and 85 Chrysler Laser). It is definitely a less refined BMW. 1st gear would bounce off the rev limiter in milliseconds. But the engine was so smooth; even at red line you could hear it but not feel any vibrations. Gas mileage was excellent, often close to 30…

How big was Harley when boomers were young? Maybe we are returning to normal for motorcycle sales.

There is practically no overlap between what pleases their donors and what pleases their constituents.  

I cannot say I care where Froome wins but it was a delight to see those guys ride off Froome’s wheel. This and Lance’s Stages podcast (of all things) has gotten me into the Tour this year.

Hyperloop is definitely a better use of resources than improving existing rail lines. In addition, public transit without the public part must be the future.

It’s true. Only the US has soap.

Except for the mining of the uranium.

Owners are scum. It warms my heart to read that. Also, markets need regulating because they are a tool for human enrichment, not an end in themselves.  Finally, my Pacers may not have been able to keep Paul George had they been able to offer a super Max deal.
