I like bruschetta, but I can't stand sliced tomatoes.

Olden Polynice now assumes the honorific of Greatest Living Cavalier.

(he is still living, right?)

Gene Corrigan, former athletic director at UVa and Notre Dame, and former commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference, said when a group asked him to help name the top 10 athletes in Cavalier history, Corrigan said, “Well, No. 1 is very simple. It’s Tom Scott.” Well this is pretty telling Yeah, I...

Was it carrying a jug of water and checking itself out in the mirror?

She is absolutely a psychopath. Anyone that has dealt with someone with depression knows how thin the line is for someone suffering. This kid repeatedly said he wasn't sure he wanted to do it and he backed out multiple times. She rode him and rode him until he went through with it. Maybe with a pin...

Yeah, it's funny. I looked at the Wikipedia list of famous UVA athletes and he isn't on there. So it's not just me.

I have to admit that I really didn't know anything about the guy. Hell of a resume.

I think that's more in Seattle proper. Over here on the east side, if I really wanted to fit in, I'd be Indian.

No weed yet, unfortunately.

The butter chicken pizza was good, but honestly not as good as a regular butter chicken meal with rice and naan. Still, worth trying.

First day in the office today! Assimilation has begun.

I'm here now. Got in last night. The two times I visited Seattle before, both this spring, it was bright and sunny. Beautiful. Now that I'm committed and moved, I show up in August and it's 65 degrees and raining. Welcome! I'm about to head out to pick up my Indian pizza. Butter chicken pizza. Never...

Thanks, Dave (and everyone else). I have temporary housing for now. A nice-looking apartment in Bellevue. Once I get settled in, I'll start to look for an apartment. I do still have your info, so thanks. Again, once I'm out there and somewhat settled with everything, I'll give you a shout and we can...

I fly out to Seattle tomorrow. I cleaned out my office today. Kind of depressing. I'll still be back a week or two per month, so I kept my computer stuff, but I packed up all of my personal shit. Kind of made it seem real.

I'm going to miss my kids.

He may be the candidate least likely to have ever even met a Joe Sixpack though.

Have you seen all of the shit the owners have pulled?

Nope, can't say I have. I check this thread every now and then, but I don't always understand what's going on.

So Blackpool fans are so mad at the organization that they are boycotting their own shirt sponsors? That's fucked up.

I think I am missing what the problem was here. Why the backlash?

When I saw the shooter's name and picture yesterday, I had a brief Oh Shit! moment. He bears a more-than-passing resemblance to a friend of mine who has the same last name. I'm not sure Flanagan is a terribly common last name for African-Americans and with this happening in Virginia, not too far awa...

Ouch

The porn star looks like his wife's hotter sister.

The killer actually recorded the killing and posted it. The article below has one of the two videos - until just before the shooting. It's really fucking creepy. Apparently the actual killing is out there as well, but Twitter and YouTube removed it. http://gawker.com/alleged-wdbj-gunman-posts-video-...

I'm not sure why Bronto is sometimes so obtuse here, but he tweeted a screenshot of Schilling's tweet along with a one word comment, "Sigh". I think you could probably figure it out. And it's not like I didn't include what I said in parentheticals in my sentence. Apologies for the lack of...

Jesus. The horrified face and screams of that woman. I guess those were the killer's legs, just casually walking in her direction?

Sorry Rass, I deleted the post you were referring too. The spammer did a nice job of hiding his link. I'm guessing that didn't work so well with the other forum color scheme though.

Actually, looking at just those officially in the party, 7% might be right. But it ignores that they took power years earlier and outlawed all other parties. So the numbers who were officially in were kind of irrelevant at that point, since the Nazis ran the entire government and had done so for yea...

My Twitter mentions are a disaster right now because of Schilling So these people honestly believe that in 1940 only 7% of Germans were Nazis? They seem to be very proud of this "fact" and how it scares pussies like Bronto. I get that people may not know much history, but Jesus. This is p...

FWIW, I live in the South and my 11-year-old is pretty openly athiest.

Granted, my kids' school is pretty fucking (OK, extremely) granola, but still.

I agree that 100% adoption is very unlikely without some strong external forces, like laws or economic interests. Brian's point about insurance is an excellent one. I hadn't thought about that, but he's right that if autonomous cars are proven to be viable, insurance prices for drivers of regular ca...

I read this on Facebook given that I'm FB friends with one of the people featured in the article. So I guess it could go there. This probably could somehow fit in the Ashley Madison thread too. But I'll drop it here. And realize that "psychosexual obesity" is now apparently a thing. It is...

IMO, it's a bit odd to send flowers to someone who's friends with someone who had a family member die.

Kind of a misleading headline. They mean "Virginia" the state, but most people will probably see that and assume it means "Virginia" the school.

I like that whole album. Mission in Life is pretty bomb as well. My dad used to have that on cassette and Goin' Southbound was one of the few songs that both he and we (me and my brother) liked, so that tape got some heavy rotation. We liked the song Pruitt posted because he said "ass". S...

Alright, those banners are pretty damn funny, but also incredibly inappropriate. It really is amazing that someone thought it would be cool to do that. And I have to figure that a bunch of dudes live in that house, so I assume they all tacitly (at least) approved. Sometimes it's amazing that people ...

Isn't that true for every golfer?

I think concerns over avoiding collisions or bad roads are a bit misplaced. If all of the cars on the road were autonomous, these situations should be much safer. Take the example of a busy road and a pedestrian, maybe a toddler, walks out into traffic too close for brakes to stop. The option is no ...

It was odd that the article didn't seem to realize that Google has had autonomous cars on the road for years now. I agree that it's a really hard problem, but it does seem like one they've made a ton of progress on. I think Google depends on really detailed road maps for now, but that need will less...

Oh, another benefit I missed - much greater practicality of electric cars. The main problem with them now is limited range and long recharge times. Well, if cars were smart enough to drop you off at work and then go charge themselves up before you need them again, this becomes way less of a problem.
