It’s also important to recognize that rear-engine cars are not well suited to US highway driving. The lack of weight over the front wheels makes them prone to understeer at higher speeds, until you start to panic and let off the gas, when they become prone to oversteer and the back end kicking out. Just ask James…

Téa Leoni was the only redeeming factor in the first film, which is the only one I saw all the way through. Any of the others couldn’t measure up to a casual view on cable.

For anyone not clicking through on slide 10, the guy doing 182 on a Hayabusa was 6'5" and 355 lbs. That’s some serious mass there. 

I’m well aware of the atrocities Hamas committed, but that can never justify committing atrocities in return. All countries are held to this standard. While some would have approved of the US indiscriminately carpet bombing, or even nuking, Afghanistan post-9/11 in an effort to eliminate Al Qaeda, that would have been…

I had to call out my sister-in-law many years ago for using it. She’s not a particularly racist person, but she had heard it enough in her youth that she simply had it in her vocabulary.

This does me expect that the judgement will be significantly reduced on appeal.

What, the ones around you wait until the light turns green to rev the engine?

I now wonder what constitutes “evidence”?

While it’s true that all 3 things can match a (too large) portion of the populace, there are still a fair number of citizens that only match the first 2. The deeply disturbing thing is that too few of those citizens will consider not voting for Trump anyway.

I’m just glad that we’ve completely avoided the other term used around here (south of Chicago) for a badly cobbled together solution to a problem. One that involves the worst racial slur.

Well, Nyad did okay, but that film had two major stars, telling a more contemporary story, and was clearly marketed as awards bait. But, yes, solo swimming by a woman a century ago is going be a niche film no matter what.

I wonder what else was Israel supposed to do?

Is a female athlete’s story so much less compelling than the rowing team in The Boys In The Boat or the adventure racers in Arthur The King?

I guess they can’t figure out how to make her into another Disney Princess ™

And after all of that, recognize that the vehicle is possibly closer to the end of its life than the beginning, and act accordingly. You can’t rely on a warranty at this point. Do not defer any maintenance, and drive it gently.

Running from phones will leave far too many vehicles not communicating. Think older drivers without an updated app and privacy objectors that refuse to “be tracked”. Unless the govt mandates software in phone OSs, way too many vehicles will be unseen.

It’s the reselling that is the root of the problem. Eliminate the secondary market and tickets will again sell to fans at face value.

Think globally, act locally.

It’s what I thought Toyota and Honda should have done with the C-HR and HRV: Make a butched up 2 door version of their sub-compact CUVs. 

The best explanation is one that heard recently. Trump voters feel like they’ve been victimized by changes in the workplace and culture. Trump presents himself as a victim, one that is representative of their victimization, so they identify and support him. It makes little sense to me, but I can understand how some…
