I think you may be missing the point, just a bit? The staff of this site have made our stance with respect to the management of this company abundantly, conspicuously clear. We’ve practically shouted it from the rooftop. That we happened to articulate our criticisms before the shuttering of Splinter doesn’t seem like…

That is total bullshit by LeBron. A real man would tell the truth and speak his mind no matter the consequences.

I think this defense is broadly right—but it still amounts to LeBron saying that the sensitivities of one of the world’s most brutal and repressive regimes should set boundaries on what people in the NBA say in public. Which is fuckin’ gross!

A good time to remember that Colin Kaepernick gave up his job and all the considerable perks that come with it to stand up against injustice, while LeBron James, whose legacy and bank account are both more secure, is unwilling to risk even a small fraction of future earnings to speak on one of the few world issues…

Daryl Morey, notedly averse to information

I understand the players are caught between a rock and a hard place. But this has to be one of the most craven capitulations to money I have ever seen by a major athlete. Should have kept quiet. His rationale is bullshit.

This is just fucking gross. Thats really all I can say about it.

This is why you don’t invade Russia during winter.

HE WAS TRAVELING! IT SHOULDN’T HAVE COUNTED!! 

So, not really.

I feel like this doesn’t get brought up often enough.

Lost in all of this is the fact that the Golden State Warriors once blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals, the championship series in American professional basketball.

I picked up a 2008 Jetta for next to nothing from a lady who had let it sit after “the brakes started making a noise” and just bought a new car. The VW had 50k miles on it, so I figured it would be stupid NOT to give her $1,000 for it.

I’ve been an automotive machinist since the late 70's. You got it-once carbs went away, the need for the 80k rebuild did too. Plus better oil-better materials-and actual engineering rather than crappy redo’s of the same engines designed in the 50's. The need for our work is down 75% compared to when I started. It’s…

I am the 300th like for this comment! Do I win something?

Back in the time of carbureted engines, gas washing the oil out of the cylinders was a real and frequent occurrence. Between that, the much looser tolerances in manufacturing (leading to increased piston slap, poorer lubrication from weaker oil pressures, etc.), poorer-quality oils, and weaker alloys, power loss was…

In Russia Lada drive you (and your broke-down M5).

i think it has to do with carburated engines. The moving parts wear out over time, making it perform slightly less consistent. While electronically injected engines can adjust according to their lambda sensor.

I’ve always been under the impression a car that sits is worse than one that is driven.

This is the most Russian thing I’ve seen all week.
