No! Anti-freeze is ethylene glycol, which is entirely a different compound than polyethelene glycol. Google the two terms.

There's been a couple of posts talking about Kaepernick's contract in the context of it being a lot of money. The contract is actually very favorable to the 49ers, and IMO shows that Balke had a low level of trust that Kaep would succeed. In rough terms he will receive about $26M for 2014 and...

Tricycle Rider-- See the circular arc near the rear wheel? That's the boundary between the main body work of the car and the fender skirt. The skirt is held in by spring-loaded clips, and is removed when changing the wheel.

Foxy wrote Um, in the USA, any person has the right to express an opinion. The Washington Post has the right to publish it if they want to. Most of us think that free speech and free press is a good idea. Even if the ideas expressed aren't.

I'm not going to say who, but I'm quite certain that Rational Head posts here from time to time. Recently, too.

MI, The calculation I provided does not depend on an "all or nothing" concept. Assuming invariant 1/3 odds of winning 1 TDF, the odds of winning the first two are 1/9, the odds of winning the first 3 are 1/27 and the odds of winning the first 4 are 1/81. There are three separate bets...

But this isn't like "flipping a coin", because the odds of a positive outcome for the rider are much less than 50%. Let's assume that the odds of Armstrong winning a single TdF is 1/3. Actually if the insurers thought the odds were that high, they would have asked for a bigger premium. But...

I know quite a bit about bridge and the top players in the 70s and 80s. Hamman does not self promote his abilities as a bridge player, nor would he need to. During roughly three decades he was among the best handful of players in the world, and most people ranked him as the best. However...

The "expert" is Greg Cosell, whose analyses are highly regarded. What he actually said is "Mike Glennon is so far more advanced than RGIII playing NFL quarterback that it's not even close." That comment followed a discussion which shows that Cosell thinks a "NFL quarterback" must have very...

I don't think it was political interference. 1) The grand jury had been sitting for 18 months without returning an indictment. 2) At that time, before the USADA had publicly said anything and Armstrong's reputation was still quite good, the chances of getting a conviction were...

Eshnar, that edit of ChrisE's post is ridiculous. His comment was quite correct and IMO on topic.

You mean The Catch-- Montana to Clark? That happened when Tom Brady was 4 years old. Given that his parents were big Niner fans, he may well have attended that game, and that it was his first one. And of course it would hardly be a stretch for a 4 year old to just assume that he can become a...

Actually, as stated in the RR's link, Judd Burstein is representing Tacopina. Lanny Davis represented Tacopina in the past. So far as I know Lanny Davis has not represented Bonds. Nor has Davis ever been part of the DOJ. Lanny Breuer was head of the criminal division between 2009 and March...

Presumably for you to make this statement, you did see the video before it was taken down, and can give us a description of what kinds of material was copied from Coggan's site. Right? Any figures or graphs? Tables of data? Images? More than a few percent of the words in Coggan's...
