And what's to prevent him from driving drunk after 25 years and 1 day? Nothing. Punishment/Judgement is rarely meant to make a crime impossible, it's to dissuade a person from doing so if their current moral compass is out of whack with society. It seems likely that social repercussions will have a larger impact on…

You do realize that "Free on bail" doesn't mean he's free to go without judgement, right? Most people are freed if they provide bail, unless they are a flight risk. Given the level of this guy's crime, and his ability to operate motor vehicles, I don't think he'd be willing to flee the country or have the ability to…

I agree with your overall point. But this specific example seems like a stretch. When watching "FIFA World Cup" I assume that all stats stated without context are specific to that named tournament and do not apply to other tournaments or leagues, which would include the "FIFA Women's World Cup" and the MLS among…

Wow. I read an interesting comment and felt I had something I could add to the conversation. I thought I approached openly and with room to be corrected. I had no intention of "dog piling" because A) I didn't read every post here B) I'm not with them so any plan to pile on I was not a part of. Unlike saying something…

Well, let's not stereotype the entire US based on your grandparents. I had two Grandfathers, one from VIrginia and one from Washington state. One of them said a few racey things every so often and the other said no such things in my lifetime.

To be a Cinderella story you have to go all the way. Unless I'm mistaken and that Disney movie is about a girl who sneaks out, has a drink at a party, and then gets drug back home at 8pm to scrubs the floors, no one can be called a Cinderella story yet. You have to go all the way and be someone that should never have…

I can't speak for that race, but at my local karting track the races have a minimum weight of like 200 or something. Everyone adds weights to reach that. Yeah, if you weigh over 200 you'd be kinda screwed, but you also wouldn't fit comfortably in the karts I'd guess. For regular kart rentals they don't do anything for…

I can't say I follow Porsche that closely, but I didn't think they would need a turbo to reach 380 in the year 2015. Shouldn't this car be NA or 400+? Someone care to fill me in?

I like the result of that data. And I'll likely pay X amount of money for the service, as long as I know that my data isn't being saved or used for things that I'm not aware of. With Google, we don't know how much is saved and exactly where or how our data is being used. With Apple and companies for which I am actually…

Let's not forget that the research isn't in how to do this, as that is easy. The research for someone like audi is how to do it:

I don't dislike Android the product, but I do dislike Google. With Apple the transaction is easy, you hand them a fist full of hundreds and they give you a product/service. With Google, you pay less (or nothing) and Google makes it up by selling me. This is okay (or tolerable) in some circumstances, but there are…

Because they aren't a Ford Fiesta. Why compare to that exactly anyway? The question was the last time BMW made something that was lightweight. At 2700, and 3300 those cars are anything but average or heavy weight in today's market. They may not be the lightest, but they aren't "fat". And while cars like the M3 are…

The i3 and i8. And in general their engines aren't all that heavy.

Or what if she blew a tire? What if her car was an elk/moose/deer? Heck, what if the road were covered in ducks? Seems like the motorcycle still would have wrecked, though possibly (we won't know) with a better outcome.

I'll add:

I almost mentioned that, and realized that the million they (may or may not) have is directly based on their physical prowess. I can't say I know much about the red wing players, but I'd hazard a guess that they didn't all inherit millions and that is what this lady was attracted to.

Doesn't look that way to me. That viper is headed right for the back of the mini before he locks up. Watch it again and you'll see the tire smoke before the viper ever changes direction. During a yellow you shouldn't be going around a blind corner at your limits. Also, based purely on the line all the other cars are…

A couple things happen. First, the guy was accelerating, about the furthest you can be reaction time from braking. Second, He may have assumed the guy would TRY and avoid him, and didn't want to garantee an accident with the person behind him.

but not the point anyone had made at the time of my post. Perhaps you missunderstood the meaning of what I was saying? It's the opposite of what the red wings said.
