If I recall comments in previous threads, there are pipes that prevent this.

Just looked up the Australian water curtain stop sign. Pretty smart.

Yeah, ridiculous as it sounds, I tend to agree. That “OVERHEIGHT MUST TURN” could be understood as “If your truck is overheight you must turn,” when it really means “We have measured your specific truck as overheight, and you must turn.”

Remember this next time someone claims that Google is a panopticon of such power that we’re all digital slaves. It can’t even keep track of a bunch of large physical objects within a block of its own campus.

I agree that this is one of your ‘pick your battles’ situations.

I think that’s the point though. You can. We all can, it’s just so fucking hard sometimes. It’s so hard when someone is shitty to you to recognize that they’re probably coming from a place of pain, so we go through a cycle of negativity being shitty to each other around and around. But then if somebody can respond to…

While that’s an excellent timeline, I prefer the one where he experienced a complete meltdown on national live TV and was reduced to tears and repeating bingbingbingBONG and making gun shooty fingers at April Ryan because she was there and may have moved her head in an offensive way.

Yes, I agree. But we were talking about parallel universes. In my parallel universe, she chose to run and won by a landslide.

Let’s not forget that Elizabeth Warren chose not to run. And she chose not to be Hillary’s running mate. Ever since the “You Didn’t Build That” speech, people wanted her to run. And people still want her to run.

Pence is into the Russia mess to his eyeballs. If they don’t impeach him with the rest, it’ll only be to keep the white house for the GOP.

And one in which Elizabeth Warren has had a phenomenal first year as president.

The man is dangerously unfit and unstable and should not be president in any capacity; let alone have the power to launch nuclear weapons.

There’s a universe out there where Leslie Knope just started her second year as President of the United States. There’s another one where Michelle Obama just started hers.

The article specifically says that teachers in Germany intervene if someone is about to be physically hurt. You’re arguing against something it doesn’t recommend.

oh thats ok then.

it just makes a yank think of a bunch of dudes named ted hanging out in a jungle, probably in plaid flannel. We don’t associate it with “bears”

I am legitimately excited about this expansion. I always hit this point where I want to build vertically and can’t; this is going to make everything look so much better.

That’s all fine - except for the externalities. It’s one thing for Joe Driver to make a decision for himself that he wants to work 80 hour weeks because that’s what it takes to earn the kind of money he needs to (support his lifestyle, or feed his kids, or dig his way out of the debt accumulated due to a medical…

Your argument falls apart when normal commercial driver requirements are applied.

On the other hand, other professional drivers - truck and bus drivers - aren’t allowed average sixty hours a week. Should Uber taxi drivers be exempt?
