Sometimes it is just a case of missing the edge of the brake pedal and slipping onto the gas pedal. If one believes they are on the brake they press harder if the car isn’t stopping. It is why cars have interlocks to prevent shifting from park if the brake isn’t pressed. The majority of sudden unexpected acceleration…

Remember when LAPD took down an illegal fireworks business, packed too many of them into a bomb disposal trailer and not only destroyed the trailer, a bunch of cars, and homes on the surrounding block? This in spite of one disposal tech saying it was too much for a shot and his boss told him to go f’ himself.

Yes - the ceramic element failed, blocking the exhaust. Took an Italian tune-up to clear the problem. Still passed emissions test for 4 more years. Got replaced with crap from Midas to pass after that.

As a sometimes bicycle rider in an area that has drivers openly hostile to the 5 or so riders I have ever seen, self-preservation is a high priority, so when no protected lane exists I take to the sidewalks that almost no pedestrian uses. The peak use is from the local high school for a half hour in the afternoon.

The walk signal is always aligned with green. The cross traffic has red.

I bet your seeing eye dog does it for you. Or, as in many places, you will wait forever as the drivers absolutely do not look to the right before giving it the gas. You can stand on that curb and never be seen.

Smart sensors are a better fix than a bad law.

Perhaps Spike would change the opening as well with the rape of Nanjing or that the atrocities by the Japanese dwarf what the Nazis were up to in sadistic cruelty. 

There is a KFC near the detonation point at Hiroshima. Spike is deluded.

Modern scholars who had decades to ponder the information unavailable outside Japan at the time. AFAIK there had not been any surrender by any group of Japanese in large enough numbers to suggest that was an option. 

Brakes. Are cars a tool designed to kill people? There was no mechanical defect in the real gun that was used to kill a person being used in a movie that glorifies the use of guns to kill people, even if it may demonize those who use guns - which would be ironic.

I am surprised - it’s been 40 years since German class and I didn’t recall it possible to create a German sentence that ended in any way but three verbs.

I think Trump claimed the Austrians water their forests so they don’t have forest fires as an example of what California should do, but I am not sure he likes Austrians as anything more than a momentary cudgel and would confuse them with Germans because of his incorrect and vague memory that Hitler was both Austrian…

The pack may weigh 4-8 tons and require structural connections to not be ejected in ordinary crashes.

Ok - aerating the product to look bigger is fine and using raw ingredients is fine because if they took that advertising burger apart and finished cooking it, it would shrink to the size delivered? Maybe if that fact was put up on the sign -

Send it text messages like: “Vinny, the boss says he put a hit on you and a tracker in the car. Park it fast and get out. They are closing in.”

“Wells Fargo analyst”?

Becker was involved in a car accident that injured him and left his vehicle totaled. His family said he became “angrier, frustrated and depressed” in the days following the accident. It must’ve brought back memories of the service he wasn’t pleased with at Stout’s from two years before.

Plastics are hydrocarbon polymers. Which also describes cellulose, the main structure in trees, cotton, and, in some places, drinking straws.
