Modern cars due to roll over requirements have much larger blind spots because of the thick pillars and generally less greenhouse window area.

“I didn’t see him, he came out of nowhere” and other forms of the magic words have long been accepted to get away with killing bicycles. However they’ve usually required two things to work: 1) stay at the scene. 2) be sober. Violating both of those usually makes the magic words not work.

Also I am vehicular bicyclist…

“Being a bicyclist is incredibly dangerous in America”

“Oh yes the argument that only a small percentage of people actually pay income tax.”

Taxes on taxes are nothing new.

Add some oars and/or put up a mast and sail.

“Membership for living in this country requires everyone to pay an amount to keep a certain standard of living.”

People love passing laws they think will only be enforced on other people. For example civil asset forfeiture. It’s just fine because government said it will only use it on illegal drug dealers. Then it started using it on people going to buy a used truck or whatever. There are tons of these laws. Sometimes they make…

KITT Turbo Boost mode is clearly still in beta.

You might want to ‘do your own research’ sometimes. 5 seconds worth would have at least shown you my handle comes from film and predates the book you were thinking of by about a dozen years, at least ten.

I am pointing out the insanity of people who think they can give government power under the promise that power will only be applied to those that are disliked.  Oh wait, that’s you, no wonder you took offense.

Not a book. It seems this website has a finite supply of ignorant people who think they aren’t, a condition known as stupidity. Here’s where my handle comes from:

Come on, you can trust governments to only seize/freeze the bank accounts and crypto currency holdings of those bad people over there that hold unacceptable views. It will never happen to good citizens with high social credit scores. Never ever.

I don’t get over by there on golf road much any more but never saw a problem. google maps image shows they have it set up to wrap around the building and there’s a side street and neighboring parking lot to spill out to. Parking lot is about twice the size of a typical location. If that goes out into the street it’s…

The problem is that 19th century industrial mentality doesn’t allow for a shift in normal business hours and certainly not a gentle shift as the seasons changed. But that is likely what happened before the railroads and time zones. The birds and other critters gently adjust day by day as the seasons change.

The correct time is local noon. Everything else is artificial.

‘more in sync’ depends on where in the time zone you are. Those of us who live on the edges of time zones, which edge it is defines what makes more sense, what is more in sync.

‘just change your schedule’

No matter which system is chosen as permanent some people get the short end of the stick because of time zones. Either it’s those on the eastern edges of a time zone or those on the western edges. Those on the western edges suffer for DST those on eastern edges suffer for ST.

Portillo’s usually choose their locations and set up their buildings so the line wraps around the building and stays in their parking lot. If it gets really long it spills out into a shopping center parking lot. It all stays on private property. I can’t recall seeing a line worse than that.
