It sold for $2.5m, not exactly cheap.

Topsoil inside of MOCAD does a vegan coney.

Except that Uber does stuff like book rides with Lyft and then cancel 85% of them to disrupt Lyft's drivers. Pardon me for thinking a company should succeed on merit, not sabotage.

That's a nice "tough guy" sentiment and all, but lots of these home-owners abandoned their properties. If you drop your dog off in a far away neighborhood and speed off, you can't come back and be salty that someone adopted them.

These are hippies not hipsters. Stuff like this has happened in Berlin and Copenhagen, on a much bigger scale, and those cities found a way to tolerate it. There's not going to be a flood of hippies taking over every abandoned house anyway, so until someone actually wants to officially occupy these homes, I'm having…

Hmm, I drove regularly on I-696 for years and never remember going too far above 70mph. Cars weren't anywhere near hitting me either.

This ignores that people can hit pedestrians and in the case of pedestrians the speed very much matters. At 30mph the chance of pedestrian dying in a crash is about 10%, at 45mph it jumps up to 85%. That goes up to nearly 100% with the elderly. http://assets.dft.gov.uk/publications/p… So fine, up highway speeds, but…

Remember when you weren't MLK?

To be fair everyone on Top Gear dresses pretty poorly and they all tease each other about it. At least they know.

Calm down champ, they were just saying self-driving cars would function like public transit trains, i.e. you sit in it and it does the driving for you.

Well cars as is are probably the most expensive form of transportation, because you have to pay insurance on top of maintenance and fuel. If you have car payments on top of that it's no contest. Now if autonomous cars become like taxis, then they should be much cheaper, but nobody knows if that will happen.

This is why you get a mechanic to look over a used car for you. They would have spotted any serious problems in a second.

Quality suits. A good suit can last a lifetime, so might as well get a lightly used one and avoid dropping $1,200-2000. This definitely applies for tuxedos. There's no real reason to buy a new tuxedo, since you might wear one a few times in your life.

Recently read an article, think it may have been The Economist, about how red tape (the lack of it) is the biggest factor in attracting business.

What exactly is the pain point in changing that though? Would getting in a modern computer system mean city workers would get redundant/fired? Hard to imagine staff levels…

Woods is the worst - it just doesn't look that great and the housing stock is mostly low-quality post-war stuff. Everything else is fine, but all the other Pointes are littered with beautiful houses and beautiful streets, the Woods just isn't.

Last I heard his tally was up to 60 in downtown alone.

Bingo.

Before anybody gets outraged, and somebody is going to get outraged, ask yourself if you've ever been to a place in Detroit where some minority wasn't around? Odds your answer is no, you never have. Exactly. Something is off if you profile Detroit three times and you include no people of color. It's weird. Imagine…

I'm more concerned that I didn't see a single black person in that video. It's an 83% black city and black folk definitely skateboard too.

They do. Now caring about good taste is another story.
