  1. Except in this case someone actually did invent a better way. A much better way. Giving people access to and options for mobility they didn't have before. It's not putting any more burden on the system to get an Uber to the airport instead of making my wife drive me. More jobs, more commerce, improving life for people, isn't that the idea? And yeah, I trust individuals who work for themselves. I certainly trust a guy driving his own car, who if he doesn't keep it clean and maintained and who if he doesn't provide good service, will be canned almost immediately as a result of a direct customer feedback, far more than I trust God-know-who they get to drive the late shift at some sleazy cab company, or the owner of the sleazy cab company. So now fuel efficient vehicles are a bad thing? I guess you're off that whole 'global warming' crap, huh?
  2. Progress is an excellent thing. But the vast majority of people calling themselves "progressive" haven't proposed or accomplished any type of meaningful progress in decades.
  3. I love when you get all worked up and start spouting nonsensical crap. Yeah, ***** old cabs being driven by some guy who can't read the road signs in English was not only super safe (oh wait...never mind, he had a placard, the ultimate guarantee of safety!!), but also such a glorious example of equality and the brotherhood of all working men! And how dare I "pollute the world" by getting a ride in some guy's brand new Prius vs some giant, 20 year old, yellow rust bucket!
  4. Uh....wut? Uber has created thousands and thousands of drivers jobs. And I choose automated checkout vs human based on number of items I have and length of the respective lines. If there's no line at self checkout and I have just a couple things, that's easiest. If it's a full cart, the cashier can bang it out and bag it a lot faster than I can.
  5. And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
  6. Zonk out with the Nyquil so you get your sleep. I can't do that during the week cause it takes almost a full day for the haze to clear but on a weekend it's ok.
  7. That's someone who desperately needs a sentence of 3 years in a hard labor camp.
  8. Cano and Familia were both such horrible moves it sort of overshadows everything else. Those were EJ Manuel-level blunders.
  9. This thread reminds me of the guys who desperately tried to deflect what Burfict and Pacman did to throw away a playoff game.
  10. ....in self defense.....after being the target of a cheap shot.....from a well known cheap shot artist.
  11. So Garrett was just standing there watching the play downfield when Rudolph walked up to him and trying to rip off his helmet? Huh. I didn't see the game so thanks for clarifying that for me.
  12. Lots to unpack in this one. 1) Dancing tow truck guy clearly enjoy the celebrity 2) Hell yes to light blue dress skank 3) I was fascinated that they didn't initially walk to the actual parking spot when they noticed the car missing. People almost always walk to the exact spot. 4) I find it odd that no one, including the cops, pointed out any of the dozen '24 hour customer parking' signs. Those signs usually have the number of the tow company.
  13. This is the guy who head hunted JuJu, right? Sometime karma comes around sooner rather than later.
  14. Emily Post says at least the cost of your attendance at the wedding. So yeah, 100+ is the right answer. If you’re not willing to spend that, is this really someone you are close enough to to be attending their wedding?
  15. Perhaps people failed to grasp they could vote for multiple answers.
  16. Pouncey should get an ‘atta boy’. I’d love to believe anyone on the Bills would react the same.
  17. Yup. Might be nice if you're sitting at home watching on TV but it's a complete screw job for fans with tickets. Baseball does this endlessly....people buy tickets to a 1:00 game on Sunday and then it gets 'flexed' to 8pm? How exactly does that work if you were planning to bring your kids? Or you have to be up early for work on Monday? If I was in charge, that crap would be illegal.
  18. My point is, the answer to the Bills problems is not more strip sacks. Sure those are nice, but 'splash' plays come and go and are often based on luck. Winning teams more frequently get that way through consistent, efficient, mistake-free play. CJ Spiller and Sammy Watkins are great examples of guys who provided splash plays but were ultimately not reliably consistent players.
  19. And we all know, the goal of every team should be to provide ESPN with high quality highlights.
  20. Boy, I sure do miss the high level of convenience, excellent customer service, friendly/courteous drivers, and clean cars of the old regulated cab industry!
  21. Did anyone honestly think the Bills would claim a CB who was cut for not trying? That is as un-process as it gets.
  22. Oh Kent, and we were going to make you King of the Winter Carnival.
