Tangentially-related - if you’re anywhere in the Balkans, talking about this game might be a safe bet:

Gentleman and ladies - may I introduce you to ... the Bob Semple.

“A different kind of company. A different kind of car.”

Yeah, pretty much. Though arguably he made the right decision, because multiple runners in the race - including the actual gold medalist - ended up getting hospitalized

Your logo is a hurricane, and your name is “University of Rio Grande”....

I can see that thing from my workplace. It can feel a bit random to see this big lighthouse-looking thing right in the middle of downtown.

Bit of a nitpick - no medals were given out at the 1900 Olympics. Winners instead received cups or trophies. American Margaret Abbott, who won the women’s golf tournament, received a porcelain bowl. This may have contributed to why she didn’t realize that she was participating in an Olympic event - she thought she was…

I’d actually be less worried about a squirrel than a kid. Squirrels are small, agile, and twitchy - even if they don’t dodge out of my way first, there’s a decent chance that all my tires will miss them. I’d squeeze the brakes if I can, give them some time, but I think my trying to swerve away will actually raise the…

Nope. Nope nope nope. Nope.

“It is unfortunate that this crash happened and we wish Max all the best in his recovery. We recognize that the circumstances lend themselves to heightened emotions and heated words - we promise that no malice was intended, and it does pain us that this happened. We look forward to the next race and seeing both…

When I read that title, I got this bizarre image of a Ford Bronco actually transforming into a lizard, with scaly limbs reaching out of a fractured hardtop like the shell of an egg.

I’m an F1-casual. And as an outsider with no skin in the game ... Hamilton makes it tough for me to like him, sometimes. He seems to be overall a decent fella, but he also seems to view his own life as a hero narrative - which means he never is willing to compromise ... such as reining in his celebrations and his…

“This has been brewing since race one of the championship… Part of me thinks Max could have closed [the door] to stop Lewis from ever going into that position, but at the same time… when Lewis overtook Charles, it was a similar position to me, maybe slightly different angles.”

“This film sponsored by the British Columbia Board of Tourism.”

Is this one of those things where no one gets it, but everyone pretends to get it because they don’t want to look like the only one who doesn’t get it? The “Emperor’s New Clothes” syndrome?

The worst accident I’ve ever seen in person was a fuel tanker fire. It was on the interstate, at night - I drive around a bend and there on the right shoulder was a fuel tanker completely on fire. The entire trailer and cabin, burning up in huge flames like something from a movie. I slowed down and crept by on the…

Rejection denied. The usage “in name only” is the older and more common usage, going back centuries. The original definition of nominal was “pertaining to names” (“nomen”, Latin for “name”). But later on, it came to mean something that was true “in name”, but not necessarily “in practice”. That usage as also expanded…

Now that’s a logo you could stab someone with, which I assume is the criteria for this kind of thing.

I guess it makes sense they might want to look normal, but they’re marching around in Philly in uniform with white masks. This is clearly meant to be an intimidating gesture. And there’s little that could be less intimidating than what they chose. If they’d come out dressed in Teletubbies onesies, I’d have found it…

I’m genuinely curious about those Penske trucks, though. Do people actually ride around in the back of those? These fellas came all the way from Texas packed into the back - just looks like a terrible way to travel. They really couldn’t afford to upgrade to a couple passenger vans?
