Technically, it’s made from the owner of the Muppet Theater, J. P. Grosse, from which it gets its name.

Minor thing: Outside of some specialist vehicles, the M60 tank wasn’t in Vietnam. The M48 was. The M60s were keep in West Germany to take on potential Soviet invasions while the older M48s were sent to Vietnam.

I’m not sure who said it first, but “If you design something to be idiot proof, the universe will design a better idiot.”

The jury being “misogynistic and patriarchal” and the jury being an Ohio jury naturally sympathetic to Ohio State football players are not mutually exclusive by any stretch of the imagination.  Not sure why you’re being so dismissive of the former.

I don’t believe “consented on tape” should be proof of anything in court without additional contextual evidence. Anyone scary enough to commit the crime in the first place is scary enough to intimidate their victim into fake “consenting” just to escape without further injury. Not saying that’s what happened here, but…

I agree strongly with your first point, but your second point wins out imo; the brow thing weirds me out, no matter who’s doing it.

You’re not missing out. My spouse drives a Model S and it’s insanely shit quality. The materials and build feel awful, on par with some $25k econobox, but this thing cost over $100k.

“You expect me, a 170k EV wagon owner and connoisseur of obsolete timepieces, to sleep where someone ELSE has slept?”

That statement is either extremely naïve, or completely in bad faith.

People are now saying you like the taste of your own pee, dude. 

You like the taste of your own pee.

This whole article seems on the verge of “just asking questions” about medical science.

My least favorite thing about the death penalty is that it forces the court system (and the public vicariously) to litigate which murderers are the *especially* bad ones who deserve this cruel and pretty rare punishment.

“Why didn’t the cops do the jobs they’re supposed to do in a competent fashion?”

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that Tory’s dad has an uncontrollable, unreasonable temper and can’t moderate his emotions in any capacity. Apple trees make apples.

Similar story. Went into Kia 8 mos ago and they had a $10k markup and $10k in non-optional accessories. The salesperson informed me that had actually increased to a $15k markup and $10k in non-optional accessories and just hadn’t updated the sticker.

Toyota dealers have been playing games since I can remember.  Everything from misleading statements about finding the car one wants to bait-and-switch after inquiring about a vehicle to not disclosing the Costco price unless you commit to buying (which is against the program’s rules).

I’m not a Catholic Church supporter. Not even spiritual. Just a former parishioner and student. I think Pavone got defrocked for seriously overstepping his bounds as a priest to deny people absolution because that’s not his choice. It’s God’s forgiveness which is eternal and no human can deny it from anyone seeking it.

I assumed Gelflings from The Dark Crystal.
