Why can’t they ever (I guess the AG came the closest) just come out and say, “Yeah, I did that, and it was really fucking stupid and I’ve learned a lot since then”?

“just wasn’t something that was done” sounds a lot more like “it was generally not socially acceptable to wear blackface” than “no one in the Midwest ever wore blackface, ever”.

Reads a lot more like shade at the South than some kind of blanket denial that it ever happened in the Midwest or KC.

As much as people love to blame unions when it’s just a case of a worker’s rights being protected - this is exactly the reason why people love to hate on unions.

You might considering trying to learn how to play Gin/Rummy first, as it uses many of the same rules and principles.

Is this actually riichi mahjongg requiring yaku to win, etc?

This is about exactly how I would have expected something like this to play out in Japan.

Americans also love huge fucking cars.

This might work if all you have to do is buy another grill to increase your production, but if you need many millions of dollars and years to increase your steel production capacity (not to mention somehow source more ore), the answer is clear: raise prices.

H Company seems like a less-than-ideal name for a production company in charge of some teenage girl idols.

The whole point of a tariff is to increase domestic prices. So this is playing out EXACTLY like it should and EXACTLY like everyone who knows how a tariff works expected it to play out.

And there’s SO MUCH of it, and so varied. From rock to jazz to almost tribal(? - e.g. Space Lion) and just weird stuff like Mushroom Hunting, it’s such great background music.

The music is all tailored to the episode and even the scene - it’s a great example of how music can be used in television.  

For some reason, I’ve been getting notifications about this post today and I didn’t answer one of your questions regarding high performance guys swearing by “coppers”. It’s probably because in the old days, in order to tune for best output at high RPMs, you end up with a really shitty idle. The technology simply…

A spark plug should have a gap protector inside the box to prevent that sort of thing.

You can actually see the difference in waste spark systems that use alternating positive/negative polarity. One cylinder will have extremely high ground electrode wear because it is positively charged, while the next cylinder will have extremely high center electrode wear because it is negatively charged.

You can see…

...Yes? Electrons are negatively charged and attracted to the positive pole. Positive charge carriers (in this case, protons) are positively charged and attracted to the negative pole.

The protons are generated from the ionization of hydrogen gas (both natural and from the hydrolysis of water (generated during…

Motorcraft doesn’t manufacture any spark plugs.

Very terrible but let’s not forget that “there’s just nothing we can do.”

Welcome to Ferndale, best dale with ferns in Detroit metro.

Bikers don’t scrutinize Polaris/Indian as much as HD, imagine that.  

It was also 5v3 so someone’s going to be open.
