Now if people want to cross in the middle of the street with few to no moving cars, common sense says yes, not a problem and it should have never been an offense in the first place.

Me neither. Maybe it’s a Cincinnati thing?

I’ve never understood people who rely solely on the transmission and don’t engage the parking brake (the proper name for the misnamed “emergency” brake). Especially on a slope where a roll-away is possible.

If it’s mandatory tech on new cars, then if you want a new car you’re going to be buying into it.

The ground clearance looks comically high for this kind of car. It really throws off the look.

I have a few thoughts:

I actually said “What the fuck?” out loud when I saw the picture, it was that jarring.

This is a bit pedantic, but that’s a tunnel hull, not a catamaran.

My comment was more “how the hell does a professional “writer” put together such an atrocious non-sentence?”

I hope you get your money back soon. I was very close to buying tickets when they first went on sale, and I’m glad I didn’t.

Try as I might, I just can’t parse this sentence:

Headline is incorrect, as the bill is being introduced in the state legislature, not at the city level.

Looks fantastic, but the fake exhaust noise is blech. Pipe it in to the cab so the driver can pretend he’s driving a supercharged V8, but don’t ruin it for the rest of us.

I suspect it’s because it’s a T-intersection the drivers believe that if no cars are coming from the left (and in the right-most lanes that would generally be the case) then there’s no reason to stop. Well, except for those pesky meat-bags on bikes and foot.

I haven’t heard of an epidemic of motorcyclists being sent flying by all the Botts dots on the interstates.

Also, I should not discount the effect of intelligence operations at identifying and dismantling potential terror cells. That information is safeguarded, so I don’t know what kind of numbers we’re talking about, but let’s presume these ops have at least some effect.

They are unarmed screeners, probably earning a pittance. The required skillset is roughly that of a grocery store checkout employee. I can hardly blame them for nope-ing.

The very fact this hasn’t happened just goes to show you how few folks out there are actually willing to be terrorists.

Surely they can drop many of these jobs through attrition. There must be a large number of retirees every year -- just don’t fill those spots.

I’d love to see your evidence for that claim.
