In all fairness, everyone looks that disheveled during an Iowan August.

Pedo nerd - everyone knows that Togruta adults have much larger head tails and horns. I’m not entirely sure I’m making a joke here.

This is so much better than the usual orangutan comparison.

I had never heard of that before, thanks! Man, there are a ton of bad illustrations of that if you google.

What I get from this story and from your response to crankygrump is that as long as you assume everyone is as safe as possible and never takes a shortcut, never gets tired, never gets distracted, etc, etc, as long as everyone does everything right, then safety is not an issue. But then you go on to tell the story of…

I finally clicked on it to come and complain after having that train of thought three times.

I was set to predict Splitting The Check as the odds-on favorite at this point, but I split a tie with my vote.

I could definitely see this type of thing being used on a corporate, no-injuries-allowed worksite. No way you’re going to get your average general contractor to use it, but I’ve worked in situations that have forms (requiring two signing persons) for proper ladder use.

I was with you on the first part, but no one is careful and smart all the time, unless they’re a robot. I definitely agree with the portability part though. I can’t even get my relatives to wear safety glasses, much less ‘waste time’ on a contraption like this thing.

I’m with you on Candyland, but how is Chutes & Ladders bad in that way? You could argue that any game with dice is terrible by that logic.

Anyone who argues that they couldn’t help doing something because they were just so turned on is an emotional child.

I love that the one guy not wearing a helmet is probably in the most danger. “Nah, I got this turban and a buncha hair underneath! Ain’t no thang!”

A Møøse once bit my sister...

Not to mention a moose is basically a cow on stilts. You hit a deer, your front end gets wrecked, but generally you live. Hit a moose, you’ve got 1,000+ pounds of meat coming through your windshield.

I don’t know why, but this is the best Trump-won’t-get-elected news I’ve heard in a long time. I feel like being loathed by over half the voters should about do it. We can relax, like our Mon Cal friend here.

That might be the most pornographic thing you’ve ever posted.

One of the best places to people watch is anywhere people have trailers and don’t know how to drive with them. Go to a popular recreational lake on a Sunday afternoon, grab a six pack and head to the boat ramp, then just watch the marriages end.

Really though, you’re right. Ford isn’t thinking forward enough, because combine this tech with the auto-parallel-parking tech, and I won’t get to hang out by the boat ramp and laugh at people any more.

My nightmare is backing up an arrow board on a construction site. Those things have maybe 2 feet between the axle and the start of the tongue, and there’s usually about a dozen guys waiting around to give you crap for jackknifing.

This is a pretty nice feature, but I’ll be that guy and say that a big assed trailer like that isn’t too hard to back up. I’d be excited to have it for a little trailer though. Those things are squirrely.
