Das Borgen

Bernard was a runner and Shazier wrapped up. That would very rarely ever be called. If he had launched with his arms to his side, they would call that

that doesn't matter whether Bernard was a runner yet or no (he was though, for sure). Shazier led with the crown of his helmet. Regardless of where he hit Bernard (it was on Bernard's helmet, for the record), it should have been

1) a penalty

2) not a turnover in Pittsburgh's favor

wtf?

It took a few years for the manufacturers to find ways of significantly improving mileage while giving customers cars they wanted. Engine technology got better, cars got lighter, mileage went up, and ultimately quality improved.

I'm sure there are many other factors at play, but that's how I look at the graph, FWIW.

And that's how the Japanese managed to infiltrate the market. They had a huge jump start on fuel efficiency in the early 70s and USA took a while to catch up

I especially love this story of how Honda slapped GM in the face the best way they knew how: no words, just show of engineering superiority

I came across this and I find it interesting.

This graph in particular is cool from bullet point 3

It shows that vehicle weights have averaged out to be steady in the past 10 years (high strength steels, aluminum, Carbon Fiber, and other materials help drop weight and let new safety equipment be used for basically a net gain of zero weight?)

A couple thoughts:

 

1. This vid is so random. If you were like, "Hey, put two things together - go!" it would take me about a billion guesses before I get to "Porsche and skeet shooting."

 

2. I think my favorite part was the fact that a Porsche was just driving around a yard, like around the house and shit.

If I am offered another form of a greeting, be it Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, etc. I will wish that back out of respect as I would expect the same from someone else.

I really can't understand how people can think otherwise on this matter.

lol 00:32 "combo meal"

that said, here's Harvey's apology tweet. He went full potato with not 1, but 2 extra mistakes!

So USO is a ETF?

I hate to ask such a basic question, but what is a ETF, and how do they correlate to commodities like Oil and Gold and Silver, etc?

I've never really known and the descriptions I see online just confuse me more

Never been to either place but used to go in south Florida. Which place should I take my money up here?

 

CR kart racing meet? Anyone up for it?

Definitely Buckeye for experience.

But if i'm honest, I prefer the layouts at Grand Prix. They have 3. Forward/reverse (~35 seconds) and a full track (1mn) that combines the normal with the kids track. They run 1 of those layouts any given day. Usually the full is on Sundays

I must note that Buckeye also changes their layout every 3 months because their barriers make it easy to do. I think they're on layout number 4 since they opened in Nov '14
