1500 in '97. i was so good at this sort of test taking back then that i took it with virtually no practice or studying, and no stress. if i had tried it a couple more times i probably could have come near a perfect score but i was so cocky w.r.t. academics that i simply didn't care to. that confidence left me entirely…

there's probably not a stigma so much as high import taxes, that's what I've heard anyway. Probably a lot of car people over there who would consider getting a mustang.

the bench warmers make below average. But point taken.

well you don't HAVE to :)

the boy next to her is like "huh"

yeah i think also that this unwritten rule is kept going and encouraged in young players as a way to get players pumped up, emotionally back into the game and fired up, plus get the spectators/fans pumped up, get a clip like this to pass around... this one little rule around that central pitcher-vs-batter battle in…

DVR I guess?

I'm happy to say that I've never heard this particular anti Semitic trope before. It's frankly bizarre. Not to mention how it clashes with the other "suspiciously smart/clever" BS stereotypes.

I inquired and it turns out that it actually is *not* against the rules.

Yes, thank you for that! I was not familiar with that term, but it describes exactly what I had in mind, from an engineering or physics point of view. I like that the article reference is from IEEE.

I'm not saying rubbernecking isn't a real and common thing, but I think often times it gets blamed for traffic when that's not exactly the main issue. At the moment of an accident on a divided highway, people on the other side from if will naturally react to the noise, the sudden violent event nearby, probably by…

thanks for this, i actually thought it was to avoid spelling the 3 k's, i suppose i never questioned that childhood assumption & haven't watched enough baseball to have it dispelled. ha!

I know I shouldn't laugh at this. But the way the stewards just caaaaasually walk away from the thing they left behind - and in the slo-mo gif, even their reaction looks very casual.

Thanks for the information! Curious - what are the exceptions to it? In my parents' old apartment complex, the management didn't have a problem with it, but the installer said he couldn't do it because our balcony faced one way, and he had to point the thing in the other. (He could have rigged a pole, but that…

Serious question from a non hockey fan. I mean I'm sure this topic has been talked to death but I probably missed it... But, why does fighting have a place in pro hockey? I've heard about like, having enforcers, protecting your stars.. basically, policing the game via fighting so that fouls/dirty plays don't go too…

often this is true, but in this case i think it's more like, "if i hadn't made a video of this that made the NYPD feel like they had egg on their face..."

I sort of assumed those "testimonials" were made up. If they are making this BS product, selling it to unsuspecting people, and trying to trick Jalopnik into believing it's for real, twice... Then I wouldn't put it past them to make up or buy positive web feedback. There is a lot of scamming in the world.

One time I had to drive my Celica a few miles with massive body damage, over the Verrezano, cause the BQE was under lots of construction and I had nowhere I felt safe stopping. Plus I didn't know the extent of the damage; I could hear something dragging on the road but otherwise the car actually was handling normally.…

rad, thx for the response.. i agree, it looks great. i know the picture you posted has body mods, but the underlying shape is pretty cool
