Technically the Queen IS the leader of Canada.

Depending on your country and the existing Bernie-deal with your broadcaster, that may be in 2 months.

So when things like Faraday or this monstrosity fold up and die, I wonder if the designers in charge find it hard to get equally-lucrative employment.

There’s a huge number of really good astronomy and astrophysics lectures spread around YouTube, and they nearly all include the phrase “and this dataset will be 1000x better once JWST launches”. If that rocket blows up or something doesn’t deploy right, we’ll be able to irrigate the planet with astronomer’s tears.

MSNBC made a nice supercut of the Obamas saying Merry Christmas. Sorry for the screenshot it picked, but it should start playing at the Obamas.

I’m guessing the real reason they don’t want to move to Gilles Villeneuve is the nature of the track and undesirability of having laptime comparisons drawn with other series.

So they can be on deadspin

Wouldn’t say I was trying to refute them, just don’t think your stronger take of “Absolutely every other league takes this guy to the hospital” is entirely true. The NHL in particular has a very similar history of letting guys get their bell rung and returning to play, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see a…

...Not quite. Sidney Crosby, in his prime, had two concussions within days of each other. The NHL has cleaned up a bit by reducing fighting drastically, but it is reaping a benefit of being less popular and thus less scrutinized.

After so many years of utter incompetence, I have to wonder if Jimmy has decided that hilarious failure is actually their #brand. Given the choice, I’ll actually pick a Browns game over other 1pm options because I KNOW there’s a strong storyline and likelihood of something amazing(ly bad) occurring.

Spitballing: If you want to encourage women getting into F1, make a rule that says “You can have two 4-hour test day each week so long as the car is piloted by someone of the opposite gender of your main race drivers”. It’d be a weaker version of Title IX for motorsports.

Drove through it in September, and it was _so weird_. I had my face in the phone navigating and was saying things like “ok, we’re about to hit the built-up part of the city”, and then I look up and there’s a single trailer in the distance.

Dock the constructor points if they take too many. It’s typically not the driver’s fault if the engine goes boom, and the driver is already going to lose out on benefits of the practice/qualy/race session they were driving in.

Meh, it’s doing its job: making sure that when you list off all the makes you’re going to test drive a car from, Nissan is in that list.

The GPS, the cameras, the continuous data feed to their headquarters, the extremely conspicuous vehicle, and so on.

Podcasts aren’t as bad as video - they’re great for listening to in the car or while you’re doing chores or something. It takes a while to find ones that are consistently good, but once you do it’s worth it.

Perhaps we should hold ourselves to a higher standard than Breitbart?

A calorie is simply a certain # of joules.

Thermodynamics do not imply that you’ll actually _lose_ the weight.
