Reading the article, I’m leaning more towards the Maverick being more Bronco Sport pickup than Transit. Both vehicles share enough parts that this is where the confusion might be coming in.

Here’s my Photoshop of what that would look like, which I think looks pretty alright for a compact unibody trucklet:

Or you could just slow the fuck down when approaching an intersection with obviously-poor visibility. Have you driven through farm country? It’s mostly just endless straight roads with occasional intersections. Just use the left pedal every once in a while, jeez.

Unfortunately, that is millions of acres of farmland that would be unproductive.  Farmers (and the lobby) will fight tooth and nail about tilling soil, it’d be virtually impossible to get something like this past a state house in any agricultural state.  And, to be honest, most of these roads see, maybe, dozens of…

I think it was morally reprehensible of them to offer him sanctuary. I also think they were completely within their rights to do so if they want to be the kind of assholes who sheltered him.

Under international maritime law, every passenger boat must be equipped with an automatic identification system that is to remain on at all times

Somehow “being less shitty than Pakistan” doesn’t seem like a ringing endorsement.

My parents (dad retired US Army and US Public Health Service, mom retired nurse) would routinely sail to Canada from southern Michigan prior to needing passports. I would definitely say that they deserved their “yacht” (a used 27 foot sailboat) obtained through a lifetime of hard work. The vast majority of private bo…

Make a new one of these, you fucking COWARDS

And? Again, they are entitled to do so. That is what national sovereignty means, the right to do something that other nations might not agree with. Border violating execution squads are not something that any nation should ever do. Ever.

“The minimum fine for failing to report to the CBSA upon entry to Canada is $1,000.”

And? Any nation is entitled to decide who gets to live in it. There are genuine diplomatic protocols about how to gain extradition, legal extradition, and following those would have let the world know we were not pirates and terrorists either. Violating national boundaries to execute someone is not something that…

Nope. Whatever flag is flying off the stern broadly governs the configuration and operation of the vessel regardless of where it’s located. U.S. flagged vessels come under U.S. maritime regulations.

No disagreement there. Just noting that International Maritime law’s transponder reg is for really large boats. Seems Canadian Law has a different size threshold.

The regulation requires AIS to be fitted aboard all ships of 300 gross tonnage and upwards engaged on international voyages, cargo ships of 500 gross tonnage and upwards not engaged on international voyages and all passenger ships irrespective of size. The requirement became effective for all ships by 31 December…

You’d better re-check your AIS requirements for U.S. recreational vessels.  The assumption here is that all vessels are equipped.  They aren’t.

I thought the Wall of Moms was clever because if there’s anyone that Republicans hate hurting, it’s white affluent parents. It would be a gut punch to see them hurt as well.

Also, why does she think that being a 501(c)(3) means that they are legally protected from criticism?

It’s okay, though. @WallOfMoms is a protected nonprofit now and those that seek to harm it can be punished by law.

I mean Microsoft has already come out and said that all Xbox One accessories will work just the same on Series X. It’s another little indicator of their respective shifts in strategy. Microsoft is leaning hard on the generation-blurring games-as-a-service model, and Sony is hewing a little bit closer to their…

Said it before, will say it again. Sidewall=good. The more sidewall, the less of those forces transfer into the car. Yes youll lose some handling, but for a daily driver? More sidewall.
