There’s a certain amount of risk management that has to be respected whenever a competitive team is fielded. There have to be guidelines surrounding practice time, travel and support for the athletes. This area represents a huge failure by the university. It’s mind boggling that they allowed athletes to train without…

You buy this only if you feel you have too much money and are under the mistaken impression that BMW repair guys need the work. Or you hate yourself.

Anecdote isn’t trend. You’ve had good experiences for the most part. I’ve had disastrous experiences and apparently either a learning disorder or a surplus of optimism, since I kept buying VW’s for a while. Seriously though, the subpar VW reliability numbers didn’t arise from nowhere, nor the data on the repair…

The guy is on the spectrum. It’s a little nuts in itself to hope he has a winning personality; given his intellect and his achievements, it’s completely nuts to expect him to suffer fools (even if one thinks Musk is a fool, which he is quite obviously not).

If the VW dealer experience is still the same, when they inevitably break, the repair costs will be roughly equivalent to the cost of a decent used car.

C’mon. You can simultaneously support trans people and recognize that some trans people may actually have legitimate advantages in competitive sports. I say, “may”, because the current regulations work and don’t work, depending.

No forking way. Nope. Never.

That price is nuts. 

Depends on the age of the car but if we’re talking a 90's vehicle:

Once you question things, and your questions have proved moot, you should stop. Every state has shown that their electoral systems are safe. As we know, the real challenges to election integrity were by republicans who committed voter fraud or who tried to set up false slates of electors or who are currently engaged…

It’s a preference, right? You have yours, others have theirs - why we keep trying to persuade each other of the superiority of devices is beyond me. If your choice works for you, then it’s the better device for you, not necessarily the objectively better device. 

C’mon. Do you have any idea how much damage the pandemic and pandemic-related shutdowns hurt business owners? When you shut down every restaurant, every hospitality facility, hotel, country club, event space, casino, etc, and all sorts of light manufacturing that wasn’t considered essential - good lord, do you know…

I can’t believe this thing doesn’t have a decal of Calvin peeing.

Awesome kid car. Can haul tons of shit; great for college. Also great for city living - you can park those things anywhere.

People are capable of evolving. If it takes a wife and/or daughters to prompt a guy to re-evaluate his opinions, so be it; sometimes a guy needs to be invested in a person or people before he can see the reality of the treatment women encounter. I wouldn’t question their sincerity; I was a stupid kid who ended up with…

N/R Ferrari? NFW.

Cheap Italian food? Usually pretty good.

This is for the drug dealer who was told to stay incognito, but said, “fuck it”.

I’m fairly certain it’s a different disorder. People like Musk don’t retire because they can’t turn off. People resent him and his ilk, mostly because they simply can’t understand the way with which those guys interact with the world. They aren’t just idea machines, they’re obsessives and it’s accurate to say that…

It’s a funding issue in that funds are being re-purposed or not allocated. I have some past attachment to civil service funding, and the huge numbers are in no way adequate justifications for allegations that departments of any kind (police, fire, EMS, parks and rec, etc..) are “over”funded, particularly in large…
