I believe it was Maurice Sendak of “Where the Wild Things Are” who said something like “When I first got a book, I would hold it in my hands, smell it, flip the pages to hear the sound, taste the pages, and the very last thing I would do is read it.”

and no blood alcohol test was administered at the scene

Because then they might have had to arrest her for drunk driving, I suspect.  Can’t charge her with what you don’t know about. Kind of like why former South Dakota AG Ravnsborg wasn’t tested for alcohol when he killed what he claimed he thought was was a deer but was actually a pedestrian. Police said he wasn’t under…

“no blood alcohol test was administered at the scene”

Killing people that don’t buy into his bullshit is very on-brand for Elmo.

I think it’s telling how seriously the “awards show” aspect is taken when you’ve got plenty of celebrity appearances hocking their upcoming projects/products for minutes at a time, while the folks winning the awards are quickly ushered off stage.

That’s not to say celebrities don’t belong on the Game Awards stage; just…

This comic/meme but it’s solid snake and kotaku poster Arden’s ass.

This is a police dept. They did this show for the cameras (hence why we have footage). Their egos are what did them in.

But they were fireworks, illegal or not, they could have got like a big dumpster put them in it and filled it with water to render them safe for transport. I mean unless the fireworks contained something that reacts with water, but that’s unlikely since many compounds that react with water can combust just from…

Pikers.

Right-on-red was introduced in the 1970s as a fuel saving measure. That time has long since passed, with hybrid powertrains and stop-start systems doing more to reduce idling, emissions, and fuel consumption.

Traffic deaths includes everyone in traffic, including cars, bicycles, and pedestrians. 

I’m pretty sure that wasn’t willingly put there by Zack.

Not sure why he used the box when he can just call Desantis’ boot maker.

Narrow lanes increase driver discomfort, which typically causes them to drive more cautiously and to slow down. That’s been well-known for a long in profession engineering circles.

I think it’s hilarious when you see the crew cab, short bed versions at home improvement stores with like two 8 ft 2X4s hanging precariously out the back. One, that would fit in any reasonably sized sedan or SUV with the seats down. Two, it’s probably only time the bed will be used that month. Until next month when…

Back when “new Urbanism” was a thing, there were several developments in my city where they wanted to build a new neighborhood that felt like an old neighborhood. So, smaller front yards, porches, sidewalks, more public park space and... narrow streets. And the city said no. New streets have to be built super wide…

I can only assume there is an echo chamber online somewhere with [made up] stories about how someone put the law in their place or some such nonsense. Or they simply believe that it doesn’t matter and that its their duty to be “right” and suffer.  I agree 120% with the gist of your argument.  If it works, it works, if…

Americans live in constant fear of other Americans. Which has created a feedback loop where the goal is to be the most dangerous American (giant vehicle, many guns, ect.)
