That, and the implication that just because the technology to create cold air took thousands of years to develop, means that it’s inherently more difficult to create cold air than hot air.

People actually think that other people modifying they’re cars creates a significant increase in air pollution lmao

You do realize that personal vehicle modifications make up an infinitesimally small portion of air pollution, right?

The article also talks about modification. IIRC all mods that could affect emissions have to be CARB approved

I definitely wouldn’t pick California as the best. Get that CARB and emissions testing nonsense outta here.

Automatic was used to refer to firearms that chambered the next round by themselves, back when that technology was still pretty new. You’ll occasionally hear old people refer to semi-automatics as just automatic. And they’re technically right, though the term in that context isn’t really used much any more.

Automatic is an old term for a firearm that chambers the next round by itself. Full-auto or fully automatic is the term you’re looking for.

There’s no such thing as a ‘class III firearms permit.’ The firearm was almost definitely not full auto. It was likely semi auto, but the media being stupid, or just looking for more attention, called it an automatic.

FYI: automatic is a (very antiquated) term for a firearm that chambers the next round by itself.…

The firearm was almost certainly not full auto. The media just has no clue how to report on firearms. No, full auto guns are not illegal provided they were manufactured prior to 1986, you have the tax stamp, and it’s registered with the ATF and possibly your state police. No, you don’t need a permit to have a firearm…

Have drifted a dually F-350. Can confirm it’s awesome.

There’s a lot of momentum and energy behind getting hit by a two ton car. That landing clearly could have resulted in those injuries.

Did you miss the part where the cop ran over the bike?

But that would cut down on their profits!

The mirrors are stock.

I’ve taken similar hits, though at much lower speeds but with no gear besides a helmet. You feel invincible until the next day. Adrenaline is better than any drug out there.

At the end of the day, I’m going to do what I feel is necessary to protect myself and my bike. If that means filter past you at a stoplight or in traffic, then tough titties. ‘It’s not fair’ is not a valid argument, especially if it results in a net positive for both of us.

Okay, I’ll amend my statement to ‘safer when people aren’t intentionally being assholes’ Opening your door on a lanesplitter is a serious dick move and should include multiple years in prison. But I’d rather run the risk of getting side swiped in very slow moving traffic than run the risk of getting smashed into by…

Repealing helmet laws is pretty much the core thing the AMA tries to do. If you want to support an organization that actually gives a damn about the health and safety of motorcyclists, support the MSF.

‘Wahh I’m sitting in traffic so everyone else should too.’

What’s the point in doing anything? What’s the point in racing? It’s just guys going around in circles. What’s the point in travelling the world? You’ll never set eyes on a truly significant portion of the Earth. What’s the point in going to work in the morning? You’re gonna be broke anyway, and, even if you aren’t…
