I think he meant: “not going to sell for the biggest of all possible bucks”.

There are, of course, actually 4 penises.  

Are we being serious here:

You’re not alone.  

Reached the decision that, yes, I should accept an offer to go to law school, instead of pursuing a career in something I was truly interested in, and that would provide me with a lifetime of fulfillment despite possibly paying less money.

Fair point, and a reason to not just rely on the headline.

In fairness to the builder of the car - when this thing was created WW2 surplus stuff was ridiculously common and picking up a boxed Merlin was probably about as expensive as the gas to get to the warehouse and back. It’s only outrageous now because of how many have been lost or destroyed since then.

My God - what a waste of a Merlin. Someone buy this, pluck that thing out of there, and donate it to one of any number of transportation and air museums that’d love to have it on display or in a reconstructed vintage warbird.

You might be done here, but I’m not quite.

Can you tell me how underscoring the urgency of locating a stolen car with an abducted child while working with the very person capable of - in the instant - finding that car is ‘emotional blackmail’?  Because you aren’t being clear.

The point was the timing in a very serious emergency situation, not the required payment. They obviously could pay - they ended up doing just that (too late as it turns out). This was an emergency situation where every second was essential to getting this kid back safe and any reasonable person would have assisted…

I agree and am in the same boat. This is all incredibly subjective - but I feel like this car was something that they built because they wanted to. A labor of love for the people involved. Yes they want to make money off of them - but creating the best possible driver’s car was just as important. You see that, for…

So this is clearly the swan song of the ICE performance car right? It’s not really going to get any better than this before EVs take over completely.

That looks like a pretty small, and fast flowing river for an iSUP.

I don’t necessarily agree. Racial insensitivity is a whole different thing. You can be a good person who is racially insensitive because you don’t know better, or perhaps you forget to do better. That, of course, requires that the person accepts it when they’re called out on it, and strives to do better after. None of…

I wonder how much COVID factored into this.

Came here to say this. Content with giving a star and comment. Racially insensitive is inadvertently saying something inappropriate that has some racial overtones. Maybe a joke or a turn of phrase that we shouldn’t use because of its history, its phrasing, its word choice or its implications.

Victoria - and loving it. I used to ride in Edmonton, and it felt like some sort of incident was almost mandatory for every ride. Whether it was a close call at an intersection, coal rolling, being buzzed by a truck or just honked or yelled at.  Couple that with the 6 month cycling season, and it just didn’t feel…

Close - but Victoria. There are certainly still areas you don’t want to ride on - major arterial highways and some of the narrow winding roads - but I used to live in Edmonton, and it’s like night and day here. 

We live in one of the few North American cities with an extensive and well supported bike culture. So I’ve been bike commuting and feel really quite safe doing it. Most of the drivers know how to drive around cyclists (even if some of them gripe on social media), and with the number of protected bike lanes and…
