Fantastic write up!

Awesome read. I knew most of the high level stuff from Electronic Gaming Monthly from back in the day.  However, it was very interesting to read all the personal anecdotes about the business dealings in the background.  This was really enjoyable to me.

This is an amazing article. This is FASCINATING. I’m not just saying that because I was a SEGA kid in the 90's, which included lots of arcade time with Daytona, VF & SCUD GT.

Article makes assumptions that those ratings are not backed by evidence. I downvoted a driver that threw a hard drive at my door as I caught it on camera. There was another one that dropped and kicked the package to my door. Both were brown and black, but as a brown person, I’m not going to give a pass to crappy…

Fucking Florida...

In my region, it’s high speeds and no seatbelts.

Everyone, put down your phones and watch the road. Drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, fucking horseback riders, I have seen all of these on their phones and swerving all over the road just in the last few months. That is my road safety PSA.

I have to disagree, the driver threatened the officers, then reached for a firearm that after the event was on the floor on the passenger side. the only way that gun moves from his holster to the floor is if he was pulling it from the holster so this was 100% a case where the force was justified.

They already picked a lane, a lane that generate as many clicks as possible.

Ugh, why use shiplap? You are replacing one out-of-date decorating style with another. 

Pick a lane guys.

Here’s the thing about rallying against vehicle weight, it is at odds with selling EV’s.  There’s a lot of leaps between correlation and causation in this article but one thing that is certainly true is the laws of physics.  Heavier objects capable of faster speeds are more dangerous.  Add in excessive blind spots and…

You missed the most obvious - whole life insurance. As opposed to term life insurance policies, which are usually for hundreds of thousands of dollars in coverage, and expire, whole life covers you for… your whole life. I always describe it to my clients as death expense coverage, usually only sell coverage in the…

Per her wishes, I made arrangements for organ and tissue donation when my wife passed away. About a year afterwards, my son & I received a very moving note from a recipient stating that she regained the use of her hands after a farming accident due to my late wife’s tissue donation.

Headline says something not supported by the actual text. 

I can give some level of forgiveness for those, but I literally mean people treat them like stop signs (or outright ignore) when sitting there will almost always turn within 20 seconds during the day and 5 seconds during late night. In some cases they also are massively bad at judging oncoming traffic speeds and cause…

That is what people do in cars too... because god forbid they wait 20 seconds.

Every single time a list like this is made, you see the same cities. There is a reason housing is cheap in places like Toledo. Most of these cities are in the Rust Belt and have been trending downwards for decades now.
