Non Political Current Events Thread

5 mph bumpers on cars weren't even mandatory until 1974. And I'm sure the bridge engineer said nobody will ever be stupid enough to run into this thing, it's massive. Alas, a good 50% of engineering is trying to predict how the biggest idiot in the world will misuse your design.

Trump is basically "house poor." His wealth (the amount of which is subject to much debate, and has likely dropped precipitously given the current commercial-real-estate market) is mostly in the form of real estate, which is illiquid. Bonds on appeal are for the purpose of making sure that if the a...

Nice...
We debated the zoo when we're there this weekend. We may still go, but really the highlight is just sitting/playing on the beach.

the justice system takes entirely too long, with too many appeals, and it's 100% weighted to the rich/popular.
I feel like every system in our society is weighted to the rich. It's one of the main features of capitalism I'm afraid.

Chiefs trade CB L’Jarius Snead to the Titans, for a 2025 3rd-round pick, in addition to a 2024 7th-round pick.
Awful return for one of the best corners in the league, have to think his congenital knee problem played into it though.

Russia is far from blameless in this, but neither is the US and Europe blameless. Russia absolutely deserves blame for starting the war, but it was not without provocation, including the expansion of NATO counties right up to Russia's front door. Putin raged against NATO’s expansion toward Russia’s...

It's one of the things that I love about my organization. I've never had to ask for large raises, I've never had to ask for promotions, my performance speaks and the management listens to that and does right by me.

You're correct, I couldn't remember which SC town I wasn't visiting shared it :)
Did have just enough time to drive over to Tybee and take a 40 minute beach walk before hopping on the flight back home, so that was nice.

Steelers 2024 Offseason Thread

Fields is pretty close to the trendline, so you just have to cut the # of sacks down. Lawrence (and Dobbs) and to a lesser extent Wilson are on the high side, which would indicate that they're taking "worse" sacks (in terms of EPA). Meanwhile, the Giants are so bad that Daniel Jones's 80+ sacks are ...

I think the comment in the report is careless and misleading. It's technically true that he didn't have the years right, but it's not completely out of the course of the conversation. He knew the exact day, and in the paragraph leading up to it he's talking about the end of his term as VP and the 20...

Correct. The ruling even says that if a math problem were to use "gay" characters that it is allowed, because it doesn't explicitly teach about sexuality.
