What is this, a Panenka for ants?!?!?!?!
Suppose you run a B&B and have a few umbrellas outside your building for guests to use for free. You’re okay because they keep the guests happy and they work as advertising for your B&B. And honestly, you’re fine if other tourists came and use them for the same reason. They don’t pay for themselves directly, but they…
God bless the Trump First Responders.
The judges also accept “I had no idea it was racist because I don’t see color.”
It’s basically, “I swear I wasn’t doing anti-semitism. I’m just a fan of that Buddhist symbol and had no idea it was used by hate groups. As proof, here are many, many examples of the Buddhist symbol I spray-painted on walls, school buildings and synagogues.”
Pretty sure the price you pay is whatever they show on SeatGeek plus tax.
Oh, you.
Weird time to break out the Jaguars fan GIF, for sure.
It’s hard to really appreciate how hard a professional soccer player can kick a ball until you watch a game or training at field level and HOLY SHIT the ball comes fast. I was behind a goal at an NWSL game and the velocity was unreal, and that was shots coming from outside the 18-yard box, not point blank range like…
On the one hand, I feel bad for the fan. But on the other hand, how often do you go home with a souvenir on your face?

But seriously, let’s remember some Kings guys.
I’ve been waiting for the Kings to get good since 1994-95, when they had a promising combination of “remember some guys” guys like Walt Williams and Olden Polynice, actual good players in Mitch Richmond and Brian Grant, and Spud Webb.
Now if he can move to the other coast and ruin (arch)Duke as well.
Yeah, I missed the fake on the first couple of viewings. It just looked like Delph was hanging off for no reason.
Mass transit does lose money and it’s okay! It does a better job at moving people than highways.
I don’t know that you’re exactly arguing against induced demand (except you’re ignoring how once the demand is met, more people will fill the road to its full capacity). You’re right that in LA’s case, the 405 expansion did meet the existing demand of commuters who wanted to drive on the freeway during the very peak…
1. You’re right, toll lanes don’t do much. It’s just a way to shift public money into the private sectors so politicians can say “See, I tried something, and I didn’t use the state’s money (until the project is unprofitable and we do have to use the state’s money).”
