You can turn it off on your end by not sending them if they offend you.

Similar features are extremely popular in other messaging platforms, so there is an audience, albeit a young one.

You mean other than this article?

You like the reality TV stars we’ve had for the past 15 years? Because that’s the crap that is going to be pushed aside by the Youtube stars. At worst, it’s an even trade.

The Los Angeles area is filthy with FRS/BRZs. Around here I see a lot more of those than supposedly broader appeal cars like the Ford Fusion and Chevy Cruze.

Custom-painted helmets might be extra douchey, but I don’t bring my plain white Bell to wow anyone. I’m just not crazy about sharing sweat, spit, lice, and smells with the last 100 guys to wear a brain-bucket. It has nothing to do with vanity (I’m a heavy 45 year old guy, so nobody would be impressed anyway) and…

That pricing has nothing to do with the costs. It’s a transaction where the franchisee is forced to pay an absurdly high markup because the franchiser has a monopoly on reader supply and can dictate price.

This is, believe or not, what I came here for.

Remember, televised golf is still always cutting away to something more interesting when it gets dull. What does that say about actually playing it?

It wouldn’t matter if you’re in the majority (I also don’t use Twitter and Facebook isn’t a way I’d shop) because social media is still a significant avenue of brand communication. Not everyone is going to be in the demographic target for everything a dealer does. That’s not a failure on their part, it’s a success, it…

Well, America will stop relying on the labor of illegal immigrants as soon as everyone is eager to pay much more for almost everything, especially their food and construction costs. Whatever shared costs there are due to services being rendered to undocumented residents are essentially a subsidy to every grocery…

Business to business transactions are almost entirely by check (well, maybe not mom and pop shops paying their vendors). That is a pretty significant part of the economy.

Real-world integration is a very active area of VR research. So many applications of the technology would benefit from the user being able to see things around them while they are in the virtual environment. Controls of all kinds are at the top of the list of needs.

Maldonado makes plenty of his own mistakes, but gridding up wrong seems to be the whole team’s failure. Nobody on Lotus noticed the screwup? Nobody wanted to tell him to move to P16 over the radio??

You can’t fault the guy for praising Chavez. Maldonado’s sponsored by Venezuela’s national petroleum company, so any public criticism of the government would immediately turn him into a guy who used to be a racer.

Years ago my wife's toy poodle was dragged off a few hundred feet by a coyote that snuck into our yard. She heard something and chased it away, but the dog was never quite the same afterwards (might have had something to do with the two holes the coyote put in his skull). Even big dogs get taken down around here…

No one is suggesting it be mandatory, merely that the state-protected status of dealerships (a bit stalinist, don't you think?) be ended. The relative merits of direct sales from the manufacturer and the century old dealership model would then be allowed to compete fairly in the marketplace without state intervention.

In Montreal they'd be showerbags, non?

I thought we weren't doing phrasing anymore.

Absolutely. I'm sure the code of conduct for the Miami PD has a section for "Allowable bad behavior by officers, depending on the context: when is it okay to be an asshole?". Why expect professional police behavior at all times? That's just crazy.
