Lynchburg is much smaller than Omaha, barely 30% the size.  Marketwise, Lynchburg gets lumped in with Roanoke, over an hour’s drive away. Neither city is as big as Omaha, and there’s some Appalachian poverty in that market area, so that drags down the wealth demographics. Omaha and Des Moines combined could *maybe*…

From people who know things, apparently Tom Arnold is a legit force in Hollywood for getting backroom deals done.

To be fair, the DoE does have sub-agencies for renewable energy, “clean coal,” advanced automotive design, power grid research, fossil fuels, etc..., and they all have some importance, but yeah, it’s a lot of National Nuclear Security Administration. NNSA has a huge mission, not only in regulation and cleanup of…

Can a future fact be considered for COTY? +1s my man

Neither will we. HEY OOOH!

Yeah, nothing instills pride in the Colts quite like an adult mauling innocent children on the field.

Has to be McAfee in the costume, right?

The simplest replies are the best. +1

Except, according to the CIA, now we do, too! AMERIKA comrade!

One of my college internships was at CNN in Washington, DC for the Larry King Live show. Pretty decent gig - I researched every article written about the then-active OJ Simpson trial, got to meet some major celebrities and politicians, saw Bob Dole announce his 1996 Presidential run in person - but the main thing I…

I was an alt-rock DJ back when this song was released. I could live a long life never hearing it again. Just WAY overplayed...55 spins a week was too much on a modern rock station.

They were 1.5 psi off, clearly

“But look at that understeer!”

You’ll get my star simply by being an adult who can ice skate. I *technically* can skate, but damn if things don’t break when I do.

My 20th high school reunion was held on the same day as The Jim Jones Revue (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jim_Jones_Revue) was playing at The Black Cat in DC. I figured the 25 year reunion was only 5 years away, and JJR didn’t come through the region often, so the Mrs. and I went to the show. We were at the very…

I moved out of Des Moines before they opened. I’ll move back for that

I’ll posit this - Grantland succeeded because of ESPN’s bulk, even if the name’s reference didn’t initially register with many of the readers. It then became a good name due to the quality of writing. The Ringer....just not a good name. Too much Johnny Knoxville baggage, too many hipster t-shirts from 8 years ago, I…

When his accountant yelled at him for such an extravagant purchase, he just Sugged his shoulders.

He’ll remember that comment, but not that Ernie Grunfeld sucks?

You deserve a +1, but, technically, this comment requires a -1.
