I had a hard time staying awake during the French Connection and had to actually look up and confirm that the car chase I’d just watched was really “that amazing car chase” because I was extremely underwhelmed.

Thought this was the Guardian Ape fight from Sekiro when I first scrolled past the story.

A 200hp car can’t get to 116mph in the span of a city block though. Power *is* the key factor here. There’s a reason a lot of countries don’t allow new motorcyclists to purchase or ride powerful bikes. Sure, some 250s might be able to hit 116mph (eventually) but it can’t yeet you into the stratosphere with a slight…

He’s a cheater and fraud filing a doomed-to-fail lawsuit. What’s the “positive spin” to that?

I’ve seen enough heist movies to know these were obviously getaway cars ditched after a job.

In fact, if you buy a bike at all today, you will probably never even encounter your bottom bracket at all. It will be trouble free, maintenance free. It will not be a thought that enters your mind.

I don’t love Pizza Hut, but they are nowhere near the bottom of my list. That said, I haven’t had it in YEARS, so maybe that would change if I tried it today.

“Half and half” pizza is perhaps one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated against the public.

I spent a significant slice (har) of my teenage years as a cook at Pizza Hut. The ideal pizza size is 12" because of slice size, topping concentration, and structural integrity, to name a few factors. 2 mediums is generally always the better option from a quality perspective.

I have a Mutley 1200 with 160hp (or whatever the actual number is) and, like you said, it’s fine for daily use. That said, I think one of the moto mags did some testing between the MTS 1260 and the MTS 950 and found the performance differences were negligible. So in practical terms, I think you could make an argument…

“The Strike” gave us Festivus, and is perhaps deserving a top 10 spot, as is “The Serenity Now,” but I think there’s probably 15-20 episodes that would be equally valid choices for a top 10.

Apparently for the F800ST, there was even a recall about it. I believe the solution was just to shave off some of the end of the grip so it wouldn’t expand when heated and cause friction with the bar end. 

I had a 2008 F800ST that had similar throttle issues. Well, the issue was actually caused independently by two different things. First, the end cap on the handlebar could be tightened in such a way as to squeeze the rubber throttle cover and make it “sticky.” This happened if I wasn’t careful about keeping my throttle…

Ah, but perhaps the character referencing her in the show just hated her and was trying to downplay her achievements?

Other issues aside, you generally can’t purchase a house with literal cash or without dealing with a bank. With the exception of minor fees that you can pay by personal check or credit card, real estate financial transactions are pretty much all wire transfers or cashiers checks.

I didn’t start right at 1pm, but mine finally went through just before 3pm after lots of error messages during payment.

This will be for continuing my NG+9 run of Sekiro on a plane to Frankfurt.

Obviously there has to be a balance between safety and practical transportability, but this seems like the type of crash a tanker should be designed to withstand without creating a huge fireball? Like, “tipping over at speed” is not some one-in-a-zillion scenario that is too rare to make design considerations for.

Probably the same person who said swallowed gum stays in your stomach for seven years.

Air Force One and its reverence for the presidency and post-Soviet US foreign policy is almost impossibly 90s. And it actually highlights another glaring omission that is Independence Day, which is 90s for similar, and additional reasons.
