While this is correct, people often make outrageous last minute decisions in cars because they’re not paying attention. If you’re not taking the time to really look at your mirrors…

I agree that the rule change is problematic, but no matter what the rule is, it is still unevenly enforced.

One of the most popular wines at my shop (in CA) is a Slovenian Haložan white blend. People may need to get some coaxing to get it into their glass, but you can't deny flavor and t…

Correct- also, in blind tasting, you're never asked to identify the price or price level of the wine. Now, as a wine professional, you do care about the price of the wine because i…

This is not true, "natural wine" is exploding and there are quite a few wines out there that do not contain any added SO2. We get people in asking for them all the time. However, t…

Oh no, the glowing dot! But remember this was well before HDTV. Watching hockey on a grainy old TV was not accessible for those who didn’t know the game. However, I don’t think it …

Not only that, but VAR has consistently produced some shocking and unexplainable decisions. They haven’t quite gotten the implementation correct. Offside calls are improved, danger…

In their entire country of 38k people, which has the second highest GDP per capita in the world. There are a lot of comparisons one could make here, but this is not the strongest o…

I don’t see how that refutes his point- maybe those young people aren’t living in Cupertino anymore?

Agreed on Spykes and BB7. Mech discs are essential for long touring... who wants to carry a bleed kit? In all other cases though, I will prefer the modulation and stopping power of…

Mmm I miss scouring the internet for NJS parts. Wish my track bike hadn’t been stolen....

Tire inserts like cushcore let you run really low pressures without worrying about squirming the bead off your tire, even on hard corners. They’re really a game changer- I still ru…

How do you have multiple kindles to give away?

No doubt that they would come up with “new” terroir- every spot has its own “terroir.” My point was that it’s not something that can be quantified, so there’s no point trying to ga…

Alsatian wines would typically be labeled with the varietal on the bottle, for just that reason- Alsace is known for a variety of world class white wines.

Skating/rollerblading is coming back into style, at least here in coastal California. Everything old is new again, and everything new becomes old at some point.

Software is much easier, faster and cheaper to scale than car manufacturers.

You are correct that American wines are much more likely to be labeled with their varietal, and European wines with their place of origin. However, those places of origin are so cl…

I had never seen the cover to this album... it makes it look like a children’s sing along album. Sco is the man though!

Sorry, that’s not a logical conclusion. Just because real stats are hard to come by does not mean that Tesla’s stats are true.

Kickstarter has never really been a pillar of honesty in the online community, has it?

It’s much, much more expensive to be poor. Reread this comment and find why most of “regular” America hates the coasts and tech elites.

I think HN also has a very strong anti-sports leaning, especially for “traditional” sports.

Japanese Squiers are great. My uncle, who is a fantastic guitarist and has all kinds of amazing guitars, often still gigs on his late 80s Squier Strat.

Uber Eats is a dumpster fire burning cash, so I don’t think it helps Uber’s bottom line very much to increase that side of their business.
