Forensics deals with the application of scientific principals to criminal/legal issues.

Or even scientific principles, for that matter.

Those too.

I miss his glasses and Jewfro look.

I appreciate that it just kind of looks like a "Soviet" font, without using Cyrillic characters.

I also approve of mandatory fun backed by armored columns.

I've got my first job app rejection letter of the year.
Phone interviews... Ugh.... I hate talking on the phone

Dear lord. I just saw the ad on youtube for the new Challenger SRT Hellcat. I blew a load and shit in my pants. Simultaneously.

Buyers will get two different key fobs. Dodge says the red one will "unlock the full 707 horsepower and torque potential of the Challenger SRT Hellcat engine; while the black key fob limits the driver to a reduced engine output of 500 horsepower."

700 hp? 

[Zanza]

Makes sense when you have a 75 mph speed limit.

[CountDeMoney]

700hp?  That's just silly.

Makes sense when you have a 75 mph speed limit.

Which more places should have.

Indeed.  Actually, I'm liking the low-end torque on the Passat TDI I just bought more than the extra horsepower of my Acura.  Its more useful to be able to accelerate at lower speeds than at higher ones.

Engines are retarded powerful these days.  Even the V6s turn more hp than the V8s I used to drive, and with better mileage.

Serious question: is there any reason, other than vanity, to have a V6 in an ordinary car these days? In the olden days, a 4 cylinder engine imposed serious limitations on stuff like accelerating to pass or get on the highway, but modern engines are so much better, I never notice a problem. I drive a reasonably big car - a Forester - with a 4 cylinder engine, seems to give plenty of power.

When you get a v6 we will know it is the Malthusian version of a midlife crisis.
