My first thought watching this. I was very young when that happened, but it has been seared in my memory ever since.

As a Marylander, it’s my duty to point out that the Potomac is actually in Maryland.

It’s like a game of “find what’s wrong in this picture”.

I saw a police electronic message board along University Blvd that read “FIREWORKS ARE ILLEGAL. SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING”. This was across the border, so I’m wondering if PG county cops actually care, unlike MoCo cops who allow groups to take over major roads and set off fireworks for hours on Christmas Eve.

It's a knock off Chinese product with instructions stolen from Rick Brickham (search for "Rick Brickham M557 APC"). I paid for the building instructions a few years ago and built my own out of LEGO.

Yes a lot of people don’t understand how gambling odds work. It’s not about the calculation of actual probability, it’s just gauging the public’s perception of how things will turn out, and that includes the opinions of a lot of casual or uneducated fans.

To be fair, the messages constantly playing in the store explicitly state they themselves aren’t a charity, presumably due to legal requirements.

Well, people still choose to be middle school teachers.

Ripley was hanging around for a while before the mission. I have to believe she would be curious enough about her own daughter to find out more about her life in that time.

I get that it can be risky, but at some point you need to pursue criminals or the message is that you can commit a crime and just drive away fast and get away without consequences. Criminals have learned that they can shoplift without consequence and now stores are even locking up soda bottles.

I had a Miata in 2000 and it’s definitely a very different environment. Now I frequently get compliments on my car instead of having homophobic slurs yelled at me.

I saw them play October at Madison Square Garden in 2015. At that point they hadn’t played it live in over 25 years.

Also, Your Blue Room in 2009.

Considering he played as the top line center a good number of games last season, this is a pretty team-friendly deal.

That’s a low-probability scenario and it’s not going to affect if the kid is ok or not, so I’d say the bad significantly outweighs the good.

Kids have gone to school for hundreds of years without phones. If parents need to contact their child in an emergency, they can call the school, who can then page the child. The lag of a minute or two isn’t going to be a life or death situation.

Best thing I did is get a double decker rack. It works perfectly and doesn’t take up extra floor space.

Trade him to the Devils to finally make that jersey happen.

(Also, he should wear 6 so there are three 6s on his jersey.)

It’s one of those things I would never do myself, but I appreciate it.

Cherry blossoms are the pumpkin spice of DC.

I was dumb and ordered one of these for my car, not realizing they don’t work with the chrome fuel doors. It would have been handy.
