I have one of things. Bought off Alibaba for about ~$300 shipped. It is fun, but you have to be very careful about stepping on. It is one of those things where the more you panic the more something goes wrong as you overcompensate. I fell w

I just finally read the article about why it was getting blocked (TC wouldn't load on my mobile) and it is completely laughable how corrupt SFMTA is about this matter. "Hey you're helping people not pay us!" Again, ticke

I'm glad they're ending pay-to-play, and that article shows why it's terrible. I am not really sure permit parking violations and tax on the poor are one or the other. Most people who are poor are not worried about tickets ca

I can. And my options were: Fight it and risk losing anyway and wasting a day defending myself. In LA and OC you also have to prepay the ticket and then they refund if you "win". Oh btw they also charge fees to defend yourself. J

Xiaomi is eating a lot of Apple's marketshare. And a smartphone is almost a requirement, while having some nice e-scooter would be _nice_ but probably not on everyone's affordable list. But even so, Apple is Apple, which has spent

First off, don't quote me out of context. I reference their contribution as helping in the war effort at home, and not because they were abstained from fighting. Maybe that's not what you were trying to write, but you seems to imp

Maybe because women were seen as inferior fighters by the British men at that time? Russians had no problems sending women to fight in WWI. PS. Women and Men did not get the _same_ rights to vote at the same time. 1. The act for the right t

To clarify, you don't just pick high variance players. You _must_ pick some people that are high-cost high-reward types. The superstars that will almost always get their lion's share of points. You cannot win a tournament just by

Low stakes poker tournaments both live and online have juices >= 10%. See any live tournament up until maybe $500 buyins and $5+0.50 SNGs that you play online. The $1 SNGs are juiced like 25%. People still play them anyways. Not necessar

You can enter multiple times I believe with different lineups. So you enter some lineups with high variance low % picked players.

I find spelling/grammar mistakes annoying in a profile, but probably won't affect my decision/interest that much. English isn't my first language so I won't really care if English is not their first language either.

I feel like Microsoft doing this is their new attempt at trying to dominate how the web will be shaped. I know the likelihood of async/await being bundled with ES7/ES2016 is pretty high but lets say it gets delayed for further rev

_My_ story is anecdotal but early 2000 VWs are known for being really shitty. this have this history. I heard they have gotten "better" but a bit too late for me to care about.

Not sure if you're referring to something else. But in the story she is just replaying the game that her grandfather played back in the 1800s. She didn't actually come up with that move from playing.

I love the look/feel/drive of a VW, but I will never again own one. My parents bought a 2002 VW which I mostly drove and the maintenance costs were through the roof. There have been at least 3-4 recall notices, one time while park
