They should at least have both a radar and an AIS receiver, even if they turn the AIS transmitter off. Both system should be capable of sounding an alarm based on an estimated CPA distance.

Can we just assume the people at watch on the Fitz were just as asleep as the entire crew of the cargo ship now?

For those that don’t know it, I submit the “transcript” of their conversation.

(insert joke about naval vessel commanding a lighthouse to change course)

The one thing you keep forgetting to include is the 25% markup that the dealer’s will tack on because fuck you that’s why.

Give up now. Gawker is way too left for this sort of rational discussion.

With you man. I’m second generation American born. My grandparents all came over here legally. Heck one of my grandfathers came over and became a citizen all wrapped up in being drafted to fight in WW2! And the other still got drafted in!

You missed that “no people are illegal” or all that happy horse poop.

There is a large left leaning segment of government which does not respect America or her laws. They don’t see the need to follow our laws or how setting a double standard hurts us as a country.

You nor I expect to find sanctuary in France, Italy,…

I’m not sure how this necessarily makes sense. The key word I see here is “illegal” immigrants. I have no problem with people who want to immigrate to the US. I have a problem with people bypassing the system and taking advantage of government resources without the government knowing they are here. Does any other…

In the Bay Area, this is affordable housing.

What I’ve read elsewhere is the Sentra crossed the median separating the carpool lanes from the rest of traffic and nearly hit him. My take is there’s very little the rubber sole of a boot can do to the body panel of a car. Biker may have acted aggressively, but no harm came to the car or its driver. The driver of…

Looks like a Harley Davidson Street Glide or Road Glide actually.

What a pair of knobs. Fuck em both, but fuck the asshole in the Sentra even more. Motherfucker tried to kill the biker twice. That shit is attempted murder. Fuck that cop too. Fuck everyone. Fuck me. Fuck this chair. Fuck solidworks. Fuck this mouse. Fuck punctuation.

Imagine how terrible of a driver you have to be to 1) react to a biker kicking your car at highway speeds, 2) try to engage a retaliatory attempt to take the biker out, and 3) to then lose control of the vehicle over something that was so inconsequential and not worth reacting to.

Somewhere David Tracy is either crying or eyeballing his next XJ.

So are you saying Phoenix saw heat like this before the Trump administration??

Flights in Phoenix get canceled every year because of the heat. This is absolutely nothing new.

You can’t really get too upset. The “staff editor for Jalopnik” just used “littler” in a sentence. We’re not dealing with professional journalists here.

He said climate change is going to make it more common. That new shitload of pavement is contributing to the heat island effect, which contributes to global warming. Toss in the ubiquitous air conditioners dumping waste heat into the atmosphere, and you guessed it ... it’s only going to get worse.
