I’m the farthest thing from a police apologist but...

I attended one of these “educate the public about police use of force” things a few years ago. Many of the other people there bought into it and were like “ah, yes, I see why you totally have to shoot people in a situation like this.” What those people were missing was the fact that the “situation like this” was an…

I can’t watch the video while at work, but CBS summed up the video and they do not mention him lunging toward the officer.

*Starts simulation*

It’s probably also automakers lobbying to squash any changes to allow minicars because they want to keep charging more and more for their cartoonishly large vehicles, safety be damned.

Exactly. If they are concerned about pedestrian safety as they claim, how about you allow cars that allow drivers to see the environment around them better? An F250 hood would block the view of people in wheelchairs, short people, kids, pets, shorter cars, so on. But we can crash it into a wall at 45mph and the 2…

I’d make a joke about their shooting simulator being called FATS, but I don’t go for the low-hanging donut.

Look at the books little Tammy is holding - way past her reading level.

Can’t wait until they bring the simulator to the public, and the public overwhelmingly looks the other way and ignores the people evading fare. When the choices are “let someone jump the turnstiles” or “open fire in a crowded, confined space,” the answer is obvious to everyone except the goddamn police.

Imagine doing this instead of just not shooting innocent people.

Because many Americans think that rules don’t apply to them.
Several years ago, there was a big Internet hullabaloo about “why is car [x] rated to tow in Europe but not rated to tow in the US?” The answer was that in Europe there are strict towing regulations that are followed and enforced, while in the US, people will…

I don’t understand this safety regulation stuff for cars when motorcycles are completely legal...What is this safety for? It’s so backwards, trucks and SUVs should be regulated out the ass simply because they have the potential to cause more external damage than smaller cars. Is my thinking incorrect?

Mandatory arbitration clauses aren’t a bad thing when they are negotiated between two sophisticated party. If Corporation A’s team of lawyers agrees with Corporation B’s team of lawyers that their contract for 1,000,000 widgets should be subject to arbitration, that’s a net positive. It keeps the dispute out of the…

Nissan’s dealers are killing the company. I had a 2004 Xterra which was a great, bare-bones vehicle. Owned some other cars in between, and in 2018 put Nissan on the list of cars to look at with my wife. The dealers we visited were so smarmy that my wife was categorically turned off by them. (I didn’t love the vehicle o…

If I’m understanding you correctly, I’m in complete agreement. That’s a *very* dangerous vacation. And one of the people on board was allegedly a deep sea exploration expert. That guy for sure should have been asking some very tough questions.  Kind of makes me wonder if he actually was any kind of expert whatsoever,…

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but what I’ve heard on the news thus far about the things ignored (and government entities alerted), it would seem those of means who could afford $250k per person on a ride to see the rusting hulk of the Titanic wouldn’t have had to do too much in the way of due diligence to check on the…

Whenever commenters would shit on CVT trans, they would invariably be talking about nissan cars.

I’m not innocent in this one as I egged on the road rager, but it was fun..

If it’s a known issue and the failure mode is well known, I would expect there to be some kind of permanent fix- like shrink-wrapping the whole connector to keep moisture out. Pretty much every enthusiast car has at least one of these foibles.

That guy was such a toolbox. Just seeing this gif makes my eyes roll so hard I’m worried one will fall out.
