They might be lax but they won’t skip them - even if the airline doesn’t care about passenger safety, I’d bet it prioritized the safety of its multimillion-dollar aircraft.

Actually, it’s his money, and he’s chosen to give it to his daughter for her 25th birthday.

That’s kinda brill. If I have any kids, I’ll make sure they don’t get my 2010 iMac or pornographic comic books until they’ve got a PhD.

They’re offered insane incentives to establish satellite campuses. NYU has faced some pretty nasty blowback for their campus in Abu Dhabi, which has little-to-no academic independence and was partially built by slave labor. But hey, $$$ amiright?

Yeah, but I can almost guarantee this trailer didn't belong to a museum. They're known for taking care of their things.

All those artists did print runs with enormous edition sizes, some not even numbered. You can probably find prints from any of those artists for under $5k. Cheap retail galleries in tourist-y towns are stuffed full of unimpressive, large-run works from Chagall and Matisse.

And why make them read books? Moby Dick?! Whaling is illegal, dummies! Lord of the Flies?! My only lord is Jesus! The Diary of Anne Frank?! Why should I care what some tween thought of WW2 when I’ve got the History Channel!

Honestly, maybe. Jackson perpetrated one of the greatest genocides in history, and that his accomplishments in that field were surpassed only by the Nazis and possibly Queen Isabella isn’t exactly an endorsement. I’d say get him off our money first, though - then we can worry about the statues.

So why not look at things from a case-by-case basis? In New Orleans, the White League paid to put up a “memorial” for no purpose other than intimidating black residents. It has no historical relevance - it’s a mass-produced concrete obelisk ordered from a catalog (IIRC) - and the city is finally removing it. Of course…

I had one of these as a rental, and it really wasn’t bad. I wouldn’t buy one for myself, but it was quiet and well-made. Plus let’s get real, if the build quality of years past is a consideration, that rules out every company from the US, Korea, Japan (old Toyotas and Hondas would run forever but rust like Alfas), and…

No, because a breathalyzer isn't measuring your actual BAC, it's making an estimate based on your breath. You can still blow high after you've sobered up, or immediately after drinking. It's more like a polygraph than a blood test - a decent indicator, but not always reliable.

You can blow a .05 sober and hungover from the night before, or after a single beer or glass of wine. Might as well hand out fatigued driving citations for anyone who wakes up at 2 to pee.

The Iranian government occasionally does stuff like this to satisfy their “death to America” crowd, and ironically they need to be placated for the US-Iranian relations to have a chance to improve. It's obnoxious but not that big of a deal.

Allowed because it's their territory.

Wow I'm kind of amazed that there were multiple entomologists teaching HS

Wait, was that Dr. Cammer?

Come on now. Some Christians are close-minded and even bigoted, but they’re not the fucking Sith.

Financially, Porsche is an SUV manufacturer with a lively side business in racing.

Oh grow up. RWD doesn’t guarantee a car will be fun. Would you rather have a car that drives like a Chrysler 300 or a Mini Cooper?

Have you seen one in person? They’re much better on the street than in photos. Not gorgeous or anything, but they come off as more charmingly weird than ugly.
