I think the idea is that the engine can engage as a kind of power plant for the electrical system - a lot of ships do the same thing. 

You know what else is bad for Native Americans? The fucking Democrats.

Killing low-level drug carriers is a great way to silence them.

It’s an ethno-nationalist state with a single-party government headed by the son of the country’s first Prime Minister (who retained power behind the scenes, from when stepped down after 31 years in office until his death) that openly markets itself as an Asian tax haven and turns a blind eye to the activities of…

Network television!

It takes one to know one, I guess.

I think it’s more like an Elvis impersonator - at this point they have their own stereotypical image they have to like up to, which completely divorced from what Elvis ever actually looked like. Similarly the pose doesn’t look like a penis, but it does have the accurate shape and proportion to penis pasta.

Given that what Pac-12 officials and executives deserve is to be lined up against a wall and shot, figuratively throwing them under the bus is doing them a favor.

Nah, Philadelphia’s gentrified. These days, a Philly Special means you keep the shoe.

What, and let players earn market rates? That kind of talk is un-American.

Nah. Philly right now is pre-Decision Cavs, where they’ve had luck acquiring the talent but aren’t really capable of making good decisions with it. It’ll take several years and a(nother) complete meltdown before they can get their asses together.

Even non-instant oatmeal only takes like 5 minutes. In NBA terms I guess that means by Christmas?

I’m convinced NBC is trying to make “Green Zone” a thing so they can launch a sports talk and highlights program called Green Zone. 

Did Eli Manning ever have the locker room to begin with? He never really struck me as the leadership type.

Zuck’s a chucklefuck, but he’s also the only one with a personal interest in Facebook remaining at least somewhat ethical. Anyone else would either 1) not want the job, or 2) try and get as much money out of it as possible and not worry about the reputational costs.  

College football more effectively captures all the petty feuds and differences that make tribalism popular. Urbanization has killed teams in smaller cities, and more people are living in and around the big cities than ever before, and they’re all carbon copies of each other. The average person living in Dallas these…

Online reviews are like Twitter: 50% bots, 40% people interested in pushing an agenda regardless of facts (such as “have I actually used this product”) and 10% attempts at humor that occasionally work.

It’s a point well made and well taken, and how your own identity is taken depends a lot on how you frame it - especially with groups like Native American tribes that have rules governing who is a member. Saying something like “I’m part Indian” or “I have Indian ancestry” is very different from saying “I’m a Cherokee”,…

The real horror is that people feel the need to justify their weirdo decisions with op-eds that do nothing but make them look like batshit lunatics. No one on the fence who read this ended up convinced that attachment parenting or whatever they’re calling it this week is a good thing. No one who would go up to a…

What are the odds they are making the team so unbelievably shitty on purpose because they want, when the move to Vegas takes place, to suddenly turn over a new leaf and start doing well, as if by magic, so they can effectively end any controversy by making it look like Oakland was the problem all along. The Raiders,…
