- Comment on My favourite moment of the world cup is when there's more rules about advertising than the sport 4 days ago:
In the Olympics, this is also the same for equipment the athletes use.
In 2006, the brand Warrior did not pay the Olympic ad fee, thus ice hockey players needed to spray paint the logos on their sticks.
It’s all a game for money.
- Comment on LA is proposing a subway system for Dodger Stadium. This will allow people to commute from the stadium parking area to the stadium 4 days ago:
Yeah, I get it. The question was why did they build massive surface lots instead of garages. The answer is looking at historic decision-making.
The stupidity of future decisions is clear

Parking garages are expensive. You can spend $30,000 to build a space… At $50 a game you’d pay it off in 7.5 seasons, not controlling for maintenance and operating costs.
Now the trend is to build entertainment districts around venues… Which creates more revenue per square foot, so you’ll start to see more garages going up.

Its not when you catch someone looking. It’s when someone stares blankly because what you said is so stupid it doesn’t warrant a response.

This isn’t that.
- Comment on Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead 2 months ago:
The jury, comprised of people who certainly have been fucked similarly, can find in the gyms favor and award them a whopping $1 in damages.
Good luck convincing regular people bullshit cancellation policy is a gold reason to make someone pay

Well, not necessarily. A bike that’s got a full carbon frame also absorbs shock and vibration from the road better. This means you can ride longer distances without getting fatigued in places like your wrists or ass. Longer rides = more exercise.
But once you have a carbon frame, chasing grams on other components gets to be a bit silly.

Depends where in the south. Eastern North Carolina would commonly say soft drinks. And confusing sale and sell is common as in spoken dialect it is a homophone.

It’s also possible to just write a bad question/exam and recognize you need to do better as a professor.
I had a physics professor who graded himself on whether or not he wrote/taught well by the grade distribution. He was always transparent about it and had benchmarks of how it went previous years. He was also one of the most sought after professors.
I also had s philosophy class where the best grade over the entire semester was a 30 and the professor was like yeah this is just expected. You get an A. This guy obviously derived enjoyment from not being a good teacher and for humiliating his students that they really knew nothing about philosophy. That guy sucked.

The thing is it can be quite profitable for the biggest possible VC firm out there. The government.
The Interstate System spurned so much economic growth and thereby new tax revenue. Weve just pissed it away on stupid shit and have failed to maintain critical bridges and things like that.

It’s a smoker, with a port for a temp probe in the meat.
When you smoke something for 10-12 hours it’s nice to get temp readings from wherever. It might also have automatic control for temperature management.

The Solong.
The universe is trolling us.

But doesn’t it though? Stabilizing it for transport saves lives in mining, but it also means it can be carried in the throes of war. Imagine lugging grenades filled with nitroglycerin instead of something stable. I can’t verify the story, but it’s a stretch to say it doesn’t make sense.
The better point is your last, I don’t think dynamite specifically was widely used.

This can also be the product of a stupid breeder selecting dogs with bad traits, and not the fault of the breed.
Knowing who you are buying from is important. This is relevant for any breed. I don’t have an opinion on labradoodles specifically.
That said, shelter dogs all the way.

I think bullet proof is only part of the urban legend piece of the story. It says security glass and snopes did not use the term bullet proof either.
