Explain. I am trying to imagine how a roundabout gets "ruined for everyone" by "one fucker" and for the life of me I can't imagine what you're talking about unless you mean they just plow into somebody.

I like net neutrality and I would like real competition even better but this title 2 unilateral FCC mandate was never going to last. If you want actual net neutrality then somebody has to get off their ass and get congress to pass some actual policy which I think is what Ajit Pai would say he...

I'm interested in efficiency and getting people down the road as quickly as possible. You seem to have a very strong sense of fairness with regard to people going in the right order, but when you're talking about a 1 second delay per car vs. 20 or 30 at a 4-way, I'd look at it pragmatically...

Deadwood The Wire ... ... ... Breaking Bad I really liked Breaking Bad but it wasn't on par with the other two in my opinion.

A cheater is just a piece of pipe that will fit over the end of your wrench to give you more leverage but they can be dangerous. Did you hose it down with WD-40 to start with? That will help to get rust or corrosion to break lose. What size ratchet are you using? If it's a 3/8" drive you...

This is a lot of ass talk, but even if you are correct that the Mythbusters got corrupted by "big roundabout" and intentionally threw the experiment for some reason, real world studies have shown that they speed up traffic and reduce accidents. I am very skeptical of your assertion that it is...

There was an accident somewhat similar to this in Billings. Turns out one of the downsides of roundabouts is that you can't go through them while passed out drunk as easily as a standard intersection.

I'm willing to wager that 90% of the objection to roundabouts is that people aren't used to them and don't feel comfortable going through them. When traffic gets backed up, people blame the roundabout because hey, you gotta blame something right?

Eventually the self-driving cars will solve this problem in an even more terrifying way but not before all the people who fear change cry even louder than they do about the roundabouts.

So you're saying you're too much of a pussy to take your slot? You're usually talking about a fraction of a second delay if someone gets in ahead of you. Whether or not you are correct about "incentivizing aggressive driving" the fact remains that even the pussies are getting through the...

The solution to that is obviously more roundabouts!

The only way I like to eat venison is as jerky or mixed 50/50 with pork and made into sausage. For me personally I get a free tag every year and I could fill it without leaving my yard but I don't bother. It just doesn't give me the thrill it does some people and the hassle of gutting an...

I guess you're saying that a system where every single vehicle on the road has to completely stop even if no one else is there is better than one where almost no one has to stop ever? I believe the rules with regard to who goes first are exactly the same as in a 4 way stop?

All I know is when I've been driving around the roundabout part of town and then leave it and I'm sitting at a red light it seems like I've gone back in time.

I guess you're going to have to explain what's so horrible about them. I love them.

There's a street in Billings with like 10 of them and I love driving 4 miles of a major street without ever coming to a full stop.

If you want to feel better about your pass rush, playing Arizona is a good way to do it. If Palmer's been taking as many hits every week as he did against the 9ers it's a miracle he's still playing.

You love stop lights or something?

Apparently I missed the boat on the Pixel 1 replacement. Google reverses servicing policy, no longer replaces defective, out of warranty Nexus 6P units I just talked to google support and they just gave me some generic battery saving tips and told me to contact Huawei. Fucking sucks but I...

One week until the craziness starts here in Montana. I have 17 hunters coming to my place for opening weekend, then a lull for a week or so, then about that many guys from November 4th until the season ends after Thanksgiving. Not looking forward to all the calls, knocks on my door, and...

These 49ers have to be the most entertaining 0-6 team ever. I was definitely not expecting to see Beathard today but he played well. I don't know if he's the QB of the future, but he's no worse than Hoyer. I was really distressed by the 49ers inability to stop the run in the first half, but...

HIPAA or not, you're not going to get something that lasts a long time AND a large range. Radios take power to transmit very far. I think the tile gizmos will be the best you can do unless you could rig something to charge the battery while the machine is plugged in. Maybe they all do this...

There's been a lot of talk about Bowman's future on KNBR this week but I don't think anyone thought that they would just release him. I talked shit about Ray-Ray Armstrong a couple weeks ago but he's played great the last couple weeks and with Reuben Foster possibly coming back people were...

...said a cowboys fan every year since Tony Romo got drafted.

Patrick was a retard and I'm glad we don't have to watch him anymore. Also, Ali is hot as fuck.

I don't get this either. I think Collinsworth is one of the best at pointing out subtle things on the field that as a fan I would never see and is able to explain things without descending into jargon like some analysts. Joe Buck I have no strong opinions about but I find it strange that...

The part of the insulin pump that transmits is outside the body and has batteries that have to be charged or changed regularly. You need to understand that for something to transmit a significant distance it needs batteries and an antenna so it's not like a tiny chip under your skin is going to...

FINALLY I got flamed by Lumi. You don't know how long I've been waiting for this day.

I really wanted the Pixel 2 XL but no headphone jack and no wireless charging is 2 strikes against it for me. I was prepared for the headphone jack but I thought sure that it would have wireless charging. I don't care about plugging it in, but the first thing to go bad on all of my phones is the...

Who was also unstoppable in the 2012 playoffs. Don't let what has happened since taint your memory.

He doesn't win any superbowls, and wasn't in 2012 either. Like I said, what has happened since has nothing to do with what was going on in 2012.

Assuming that you don't have the benefit of 5 years of hindsight obviously. But regardless, there's no reason to think that Smith would have played better than Kaepernick in 2012. Kaepernick dominated the playoffs and still came up one pass short.

Yeah, benched him for this. Whatever happened down the road, it's hard to argue that Harbaugh made the wrong call.

Fan fiction. Kaepernick carried the 49ers in those playoffs. Alex Smith had his chance the year before and didn't get there.

Alex Smith becomes an elite quarterback only 12 years after being drafted #1. That clock expired touchdown to cover the spread must have had some people pulling their hair out.

Even though McCheese loves the brown sugar bacon, I advise you to proceed with caution. If you don't think dumping a bunch of sugar on your sandwich sounds like a good idea, the brown sugar bacon might not be for you. I got the BLT and actually gave half of it to my dog which I never do. Way...

It was a pretty shocking collapse. I think that part of it was the Harbaugh/Baalke drama but also part of it was NFL defenses figuring out the read option. SF had a great defense and a solid O-line at the time but the offense was a gimmick that pretty much collapsed at the same time as the...

Too much poop in it.
