People who think about cars objectively end up with Nissan Leaves, Honda Fits, and regional transit passes.

Why does hitting the net matter?

I looked up the NCAA rules for scoring and I could only find references to the basket, which in the equipment section is defined as consisting of both the ring and the net.

You're right, it fits basket interference better than goaltending

Sure thing. The call was incorrect.

I think, by rule, the basket includes the net. So, it is goaltending, but not a basket.

I would much rather be able to fill up my car at home (without going anywhere) than have to go to the local gas station. The only situation where the gas station is more convenient is on very long trips, which is not the most common usage pattern for cars today.

You can't make America great again unless America is in decline. The notion that the military has become weak and ineffectual is part of that worldview

Russia constantly seems slightly fictional

Not even Bear Grylls is based on actual survival techniques

Unless you can convince their sponsor to run that livery, it’s not gonna happen. So, maybe the broke US government can sponsor an F1 team? Or we can persuade the world’s wealthiest actual bald eagle?

There’s a really simple way to avoid paying college athletes without being completely hypocritical, and that’s to eliminate the role of private, for-profit enterprise in college sports.

What about fire extinguisher, racing seat, radio, racing clutch, straight pipes, tow hook, and other stuff I couldn't think of?

Unfortunately, as it relates to the economy at large, fuel prices this low produce penny wise, pound foolish behavior (reduced investment in fuel efficient technologies, increased purchases of inefficient vehicles). When the inevitable rise comes, we'll be paying out the nose to catch up.

That'd be some Jack Sock shit right there

Two accusations I have never seen leveled at referees: being intelligent, being objective.

I’m confused by how young professional athletes are now

Trick question! #6 is every car

Under-evolved implies a directionality to evolution that is nonexistent. It is just a tragic flaw of the way our brains have evolved in conjunction with our capabilities as a species and the resources available to us. The scope of our physical capabilities has exceeded the ability of our brains to make good decisions.

You know what’s cooler than even Idris Elba or Leonardo DiCaprio?
