Wait until you try to take a turn at high speed...

It’s amazing how many car enthusiasts I know that have done stupid shit in their performance cars, causing injury to themselves or others. I love performance cars, but I know that most real performance cars can operate well beyond my limits as a driver. Part of being a car enthusiast, just like being a gun owner, is…

This isn’t a question of defending Bezos, which I’m not. I’m pointing out that the entire premise of the headline is false. Bezos isn’t the prime mover in this case, the contractor is, and outrage should be directed to the contractor who is building the boat and local government, who made an agreement with the…

Bezos contracted with a company to build the boat. The company made all the arrangements in cooperation with the city. Bezos didn’t do any of that, so why not be accurate? “Bezos’ Contractor Did Not Need To Dissemble Bridge”. How hard is that?

My brother put 300k+ and 3 turbochargers on one of those.  My brother also lives as if time stopped in 1988.

They do not.

I can say first-hand that watching adultery unfold in front of your eyes, particularly when one of the parties is the partner of a good friend, which friend is unaware of the adultery, is very painful. It’s true that we might not know what went on between Wilde and Sudekis, but the consensus seems to be, and both seem…

It’s kinda not. Russia has a pretty well-known low tolerance for foreign nationals bringing illegal drugs into the country. Griner, having spent 6 1/2 years in Russia could not have feasibly been unaware that cannabis was illegal in Russia. As someone who also uses cannabis for pain, I can safely say that she’s simply…

It’s not just Kansan pro-choicers who aware of the popularity of abortion rights. The RNC and Republican legislators are very aware. What they’ve been able to count on for ages though, is a very motivated, minority base able to outpace and outvote a detached electorate.

The pricing alone is a pretty clear indicator that this is a vehicle only a retired burnout could love. The whole thing smacks of bad decisions; from the engine to the metal to the interior, this alleged vehicle recalls a 19 yo (or 45yo) putting the bong down, exhaling, and saying, “Yeah, I can fix that.”.

The WNBA is unprofitable. Its existence depends on subsidy from the WNBA. Salaries therefore, are far lower than they are for male pro-players. If you want to see changes made in “...pitiful WNBA...” salaries, then women and girls need to attend games, buy merch, and watch the sport on TV.

I would bet heavily on the success of EV Toyota FJs and Honda Elements.

An 11 year old doesn’t really have the right to everything they want, and an adult who says, “not right now...” isn’t being rude. An adult also has the right to be religious, or not, and we should be honest about the fact that virtually every world religion, including but not exclusive to Christian sects, endorses…

Young people are not known for their decision-making prowess, and for good reason. This horrible accident was directly caused by the kid; he simply ignored all the safety instructions he was given. I’ve been on helicopters all over the world and I have never, even in places where one would expect failures of safety…

It’s pretty likely that the guy’s company has a rule, like many, that any flight over 5 hours is business class. Since business travel can be urgent, the price of his seat probably had something to do with the proximity of his booking date to his departure date.

I usually think that there’s a pot for every lid, etc.. This car is the mate of the sock lost in the dryer. 

It appears the author made not a single effort to understand the legislation, the precipitating events that pushed the legislation forward, and the abuses the legislation is designed to prevent. Essentially, if a company exerts control (like Uber, Lyft, the way FedEx used to control its so-called independent…

Why do you think it’s up to him? He contracted with a company who not only had the specs, but the obligation to complete due diligence with regard to their ability to actually execute on the deal. If you can build the boat, but can’t get the boat to open water after you’ve made assurances, then the problem is yours,…

It’s really a foregone conclusion that the future is autonomous vehicles. Humans are pretty good at developing technology; the challenges of reliable, safe AV will be overcome in due time.

I have coached girls team sports much of my life. The reality then, as now, is that though there’s an audience, and though there’s participation, neither is sufficient to make women’s team sports profitable. The WNBA has been subsidized since its inception; it’s not honest to discuss the league without specifically…
