Static discharge wicks are a huge part of this safety system. :)

Here’s what happens when a plane is struck by lightning...

For a car blog, I took “plane hit by Lightning” as some rando on a rural airport runway driving his brodozer into some Cessna. 

NO!.. he thought they were transvestite immigrants who were trying to give him gender reassignment surgery before making him buy an EV, installing LED bulbs in his house, and then take his job. 

Let’s be honest, he still has a good chance of getting off. 

One of my friends was a firefighter/EMT, and he had an exemption to carry a handgun before he turned 21. He said a lot of first responders carry because they get called to crime scenes, and if there’s a fire or medical emergency, they can’t wait for police to secure the area first. So I’d give the fire chief the…

See, the problem here is that everyone assumes that they’re the good guy with a gun. And unfortunately, all those good guys are tryhards who really REALLY want to show just how good a guy they are and so the second something happens, out comes the gun and... this.

Yup, cowardice and paranoia are very much part of the equation. 

Hey, just because you’re not a chickenshit coward afraid of your own shadow and will fire at anyone or anything because you’re so paranoid doesn’t mean... er.. shit, I don’t know how to finish this sentence, so I’m just gonna end it...... here.

Shiz I’m white as a ghost and I’m 99% sure me and a friend were pulled over in rural VA (not too far from Charlottesville) several years ago for suspicion of DWB b/c we were in a car with DC plates. Passing thru the area, went down a side road (off 29?) to see if friend’s college friend was home. Cop had somebody…

See, this is why I never want to really go to the deep south (alabama, mississippi, arkansas) as a non white person... and I want to go for some of the great driving roads and hiking I hear about. Spending a week driving around the back roads and hiking the southern part of the Appalachian mountains

This country’s gun culture is fucking off-the-rails absurd. 

I would totally shop at the “Boobs and Whatnot” store

Yeah, “texting while driving” is an actual crime.

“Then again, if he’d killed someone other than a fire chief, he may have gotten off scot-free.”

The amount of outright lying exposed by cops since the invention of the bodycam is truly startling. They know they are being recorded, and yet still lie constantly and commit crimes, to the point that basically anything before, say 2010 or thereabouts, we should assume all the cops lied all the time, about everything.…

“To cover up his tracks, the 28-year-old told investigators he had been looking at texts sent by colleagues”

The fact that they bumped the price into low earth orbit isn’t the problem.

Wow, took that 0-60 really quick. Sounds like you have some unresolved rage you want to let out. Thanks for not doing it on the road, I guess.
