I don’t know where you live, but there are murderous fucks murdering every day in my city, and no one is jumping up and down trying to find them and protect us - not even witnesses who actually saw said murderous fucks shooting and murdering.

Aside of the fact that D&D is easily played without using these products, you seem to think that IP and the work to maintain infrastructure and innovate doesn’t cost any money and should be free. What work are you willing to do for free?

I disagree with the Lexus comments. More than anything else, I consider reliability a luxury. Lexus is fairly well known for delivering reliable, trouble-free ownership.

This is where experience matters. I’m sure she was told that “bad” things would happen if she embellished, and she not only embellished, but committed about 47 crimes in the process of embellishing.

The guy has been doing construction his whole life, even while pursuing his acting career. There are people who have no business even renting a Bobcat and those who have been around equipment and can check out on it without too much trouble. He made a dumb mistake, but he’s not your usual Hollywood dilettante.

It’s possible to look at this case and the entirety of Jolie’s behavior, and consider that theirs was a dysfunctional relationship. Pitt had a drinking problem, Jolie prone to manipulation (look it’s not just me, it’s several judges), the kids weren’t disciplined, etc. There is no excuse for physical violence on…

Naked bikes are ok in cities, especially since having the ability to go fast isn’t the same as being able to go fast. Stoplights or stop signs every couple of blocks, daytime traffic, etc. . Otherwise, I want my fairings and I want my windscreen and, because I am tall with long legs and arms, I want a comfortable…

Lawrence, you buried the lede, a little bit. Geico wasn’t hit because of policy language that covered such a hazard, but rather because they blew off an appearance - I imagine they thought the claim would be dismissed.

Range over speed should absolutely be the orientation of designers. After all, if we want to slow battery degradation, more range = more time between charges, etc.

When a company is unprofitable, cost-cutting is inevitable. Shining a light on a ridiculously generous fertility benefit that, even after a 50% cut, still exceeds fertility benefits commonly offered elsewhere, is a little much, regardless of how many kids the CEO might have personally. It’s also worthwhile to think of…

What in the fuck is wrong with people? Who actually doubts that he told her to “dance” while he shot at her? There’s nothing defensible about his case. He wasn’t allowed to have a weapon - he had a weapon. (who knows why he thought he might need one, but he certainly showed why keeping guns out of the hands of morons…

These were seats with small motors, capable of transporting two high school kids back and forth to school and practice without offering the capacity for fun. The only thing in one of these cars that even implied quality were the front seat belts.

It’s pretty simple. He’s not a US citizen. He was in possession of an unlicensed, semi-automatic gun. So, he’s already fucked. Once they prove he shot her, and let’s face it, he shot her, he’s going down for a number of years and then getting booted back to Canada.

The most virulent “We have too many cars and it’s killing___, ____,and_____! We need to make it difficult to drive!”, don’t live in places where transit options simply don’t exist. You can’t ride your bike on a 50 mile one-way commute in Tennessee. There is no commuter train in South Dakota. The local bus might run…

Ms Ellison cannot be far behind. The sheer imbecility of this whole thing just boggles. All of the people involved had at the very least a peripheral understanding that their structure and governance was inadequate, and that their appropriation/manipulation/comingling of investor funds was violative of all kinds of…

Fat is unattractive. We are literally programmed to find it so; that’s why seeing dramatically obese people engenders a visceral reaction in so many people. Sure, people might point to the Rubenesque ideal, but that wasn’t fatness on the scale we now see. Evolution pushed us to favor fit mates, and fat ain’t fit.…

I’ll bet his daughters loved hearing that at school, likely on heavy repeat.

None of the things you mention are quantifiable, in the sense that there isn’t a way to reallocate funds from healthcare to roads. One underfunded system isn’t going to be able to support another. Aside of that, we are beginning to see the strain an aging population puts on our healthcare system, which system will…

Up until very recently, one of the most common ways for people to meet their spouses was at work. Given that 50+% of famous people marriages end in divorce, it’s hardly shocking that two famous people developed an attraction that supplanted their (apparently dying) marriages.

Consenting adults choosing to consent to a relationship - what’s controversial?
