Yeah, it took me getting into track driving a few years ago to realize how tame and within limits I drive on the road. Braking, turn-in, and cornering are just so much more aggressive on a track, they cannot be (safely, responsibly) replicated on a public road, unless you are a total ass, and then you are living on…

This is basically what happened in Round 1.  I’m not so sure they will make the same mistake twice, sadly.

Well done sir!!!

I know this is a bit of snark, but I don’t think people value their health, range of motion, etc. enough. This guy is in his 70's, out cycling. He’s probably put a lot into his life staying healthy, making good choices, so that he could feel good in his old age and do the things he loves. And then someone careless and…

I live in a very walkable neighborhood with sidewalks everywhere. I am the designated snow-blower when we get snow that needs heavy removal, and I usually do it for blocks in either direction. I’ve already made my notes for those who will need to boot-strap their own snow this year.

Of all the things I fear, this is actually the one I fear least. The 22nd Amendment says no person shall be elected more than twice. And an Amendment requires 3/4 of the states to change/ratify, and we will not be there (also the reason we’ll never get rid of the electoral college). Plus, looking at him now, he will…

Counterpoint: he knows he’s a lame duck and so will burn down the house because WTF does he care for the future. He will just golf all the time (and cheat, the WORST kind of person), but his now-unaccountable minions will continue the burn while he’s away.

Empathy, I’m losing mine, and I hate it, it’s not who I am or have ever been. I live in PA, maybe the swingiest of swing states, and my vision is now that 1 of 2 of every person I see, I feel borderline hatred, and I hate that too. I donated blood last night, as I do regularly, and I normally love it. I had to…

More like 50 once he replaces Thomas & Alito.

That guy in FL had a water bottle thrown at him from a car...he then fired 10 shots erratically through his own windshield at a fleeing car. The state told him to carry on, good sir. I’m not here to defend the stupid interpretations of these laws, I’m just observing they are being ever-increasingly interpreted to say…

Right, the definition of “air” is all over the place, from humidity to exact chemical composition (although I’ve to to think the rules actually define this a bit more). But generally any separated gas, be it nitrogen, helium, oxygen, etc. is 99.99% just those molecules N, He, or O, and nothing else.

Bingo.

With increasingly broad interpretations of Castle Doctrine, I wouldn’t be so sure.  Certainly depends on what state this occurred in. 

...half of America would cheer “That’s what you get!”? That is what this increasingly-stupid country is becoming.

You know what they say about lying down with dogs...

I’m guessing 50% of the dead 10% are Mondials that Ferrari themselves hunted down and destroyed under the cover of darkness.

Can’t even get a peaceful transfer of power in the crane world.

Agree with the light, but I have a Flare RT I also use on the rear. But I will never, ever get on a bike again without a radar. I even use it on my gravel where cars are few and far between, but they can appear in unlikely places.

This particular system is billed all the time as being better than humans, and yet in so, so many cases, it’s not, hitting stationary and visible objects all the time (fire trucks, cop cars, a deer just standing there). The real problematic deer are the ones that jump out of nowhere, like the one that leapt a…

Yeah, good point. And as a cyclist, I have zero faith in AP or FSD, and less faith in the brain-dead drivers relying 100% on them. One reason I ride with a rear radar and a mirror, things almost never sneak up on me (the radar catches everything, even multiple cars stacking) and one can usually tell by their behavior i…
