Not life-threatening, but I think this qualifies more as a “design flaw” than a lot of the aesthetic or build-quality problems identified in the comments.

In a lake or ditch: pretty sure it’s a lambo

Johnson isn’t the only problem, but he is the most expensive problem by a wide margin. Personally, I never really saw Lopez as the franchise. Maybe that’s my problem. Williams was the franchise. Johnson was the franchise. Lopez was nice to have.

Look man, the Nets are in a sorry state, and have been for some time. But of the big three they brought in to win a championship within a year or two (oh what a heady time 2012 was) Lopez has been, by far, the best. You can call that grading on a curve, but I think given what he’s got to work with, it’s pretty good.…

I don’t know, I saw quite a few attempts at arm-barring and grappling in the first round. I think the narrative is getting away from people. In a way, we’re looking to explain how the putative greatest athlete alive could have gone out that way, and hubris is a classic explanation. The much less appealing alternative…

She didn’t decide to do that. Holm had the tools to force her to do that. Which people have been saying for some time now was going to happen. Rousey is a great judoka, but she’s seriously underschooled in striking, and in particular in boxing, which has techniques for punishing people that try to get close and…

I can’t be mad at Lopez as long as Joe “$24.9 million” Johnson is on the team and playing like he does.

The standard portmanteau of Crossover and Hatchback is Wagon.

Pretty sure it was coined by Richard Pryor in Live on the Sunset Strip.

This is not getting nearly enough love.

Congratulations, that’s a great deal.

Cold air intakes add exactly as much horsepower as bitchin’ racing stripes. Which is to say about 5 to 10 horsepower subjectively, 0 to 0 horsepower objectively. I’ve heard that on (much) older cars, CAIs were actually useful, but no manufacturers have screwed up their intake badly enough to leave room for aftermarket…

Yes, let’s face a thing that you just made up with absolutely no evidence for. Let’s face that.

Yeah, we’re totally on the same page as regards shoes vs bare feet in a foundry. I think where we differ is that my view is that if the employer can’t or won’t provide minimally acceptable PPE, then America really shouldn’t be doing business with them. We are perfectly capable of producing these covers domestically,…

So what you’re saying is that PPE that does not meet the minimum standard for PPE in this environment does not meet the minimum standard for PPE in this environment—including the PPE of “stay on your (literal) toes”. Agreed.

Higher pay = higher cost. Safer environment = higher cost. Fair treatment = higher cost. The reason you have to fight for these things is that they RAISE COST. Higher costs imply lower margins imply lower profits. Most businesses have significantly more market power than their employees, and many are effective…

They find other employment. This idea that eliminating individual businesses actually causes there to be less work is highly reminiscent of when France cut workweeks in half in order to double the number of jobs. That’s not how an economy works.

The Dusenberg Model J Murphy. Not only is it extremely old and rare, it is also very long (wheelbase 153.5 inches) and surprisingly fast (0-60 in 8 seconds, top speed of 140 mph in third gear). This is a bad combination when your visibility is most charitably described as “Camaro-ish”. Also: unsynchronized…

Reading is fundamental. Again: “The key is then being able to force the businesses to incur the higher cost. Outsourcing being a work-around to unions is a recent development made possible by prevailing elite attitudes towards trade and tariffs.”

I still hate the name, though I love the engines.
