The Palm Pilot analogy would be better if the government had heavily subsidized purchase of Palm Pilots with tax credits. 

If the courts side with Trump on this, I hope the next Democratic President goes after states setting their own textbook rules. We can see how all the conservative states like being forced to adopt textbooks sanctioned by the Federal Government. 

We’ve fought 2 wars with Iraq for the Saudis, so you can understand why they’d expect us to fight one more for them. 

You know someone must have told him we moved from fission nukes to hydrogen bombs that are far more powerful and, being an idiot, he thinks hydrogen bombs aren’t nukes.

The open spaces seem to be all handicapped spaces in the Midwest. I think obesity is a handicap there. 

Costco trick - In spite of the fact that there are signs plainly stating this, it seems most people still don’t know the hose is long enough to fill up your car from either side of the pump. 80% of the people are trying to go to the right side of the pump, leaving me and the German cars on the left. 

I love BMW and MB drivers using their stop/go ACC. I couldn’t change lanes in heavy traffic without those spaces. 

Years ago (like 40ish), Consumer Reports did an article on why MB’s seemed to last longer than other cars. Their conclusions were that, yeah, diesel engines are sturdy, but for non-diesels, people who paid that much for a car simply tended to take better care of them. That was the MB advantage, not some superior…

Well done. Now, what’s the mechanism that causes a certain type of person to believe a pathological liar and is it a reversible condition?

I think your problem is mainly that you’re taking the side of the jerk who flipped the bird while one family was attempting to take a nice, family selfie at a ball game. I guess, to some people, that’s just being a good ‘murican, but to me, he’s a jerk - and, based on your continued responses, he’s not the only jerk. 

Thanks. I quit reading the article when I came to the part where it said the sine of the angle was the sq root of 2. Tilt. 

No, you’re making a strawman argument. All I have pointed out is that 1) there are no people behind the white guy in the pic, and 2) the guy is a dick for flipping the bird in the family’s selfie. It seems to me that you’re taking the word of the guy who is, undisputedly, flipping the bird. It can’t get much clearer.

Yeah, I read the article, but I can also see the picture. See anyone behind him? Me neither. Oh, and if he gets this bent out of shape when his seat back is kicked, I suggest he never get on an airplane in coach.

Witnesses? It’s pretty clear from the picture that the only witness would be the woman he’s with. It’s also pretty clear he’s flipping the bird in their family selfie, which, in itself, isn’t a crime, but gives you a pretty good idea about his character.

Will it hold a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood? If not, then it’s a hard pass from me. 

I’m going to wait and see how this turns out before I go forward with my Ferrari-themed catheter ads.

To be fair, you only know the number reported to have died. It could have happened thousands of times for shorter periods of time or on more temperate days and we’d never hear of it.

My mother drove a Century that looked a lot like this. A Buick Century. 

You may have nailed the most important reason why women’s sports don’t get as much monetary support as men’s:
