For anything other than a short (i.e., one where I can get away with just the suit I’m wearing) business trip, I have no problem with checking a bag. I’ve never had bags lost, and I’ve never waited very long to check or pick up my bags. The modern overhead-bin drama created by all the “I will die before I check a bag”…

Are we coming up with arbitrary reasons to create a divide amongst people now? Seriously?

If you have strong opinions on this either way you need to take a step back & look at the world around us, now ask yourself - is it worth it to die on this hill of all hills?

Now on to the topic - both have a time and a place - if…

I’ve been flying for 50 years and only once did the airline lose my bag (they delivered it to my home that evening).

We really should be putting up yield signs where 75% of stop signs are at

But it could go on your credit score

Doesn’t it seem odd that Elon Musk fires his whole Supercharger staff after getting many non-Tesla EVs to adopt the Tesla standard as the standard?

A huge part of Tesla’s unique value proposition is the Supercharging network. Seeing as their entire Supercharger team was just laid off, that doesn’t inspire confidence when you’re about to spend $40k+ on one of their cars. I don’t fault people for thinking twice.

“above and beyond” = Teslastan for doing the bare minimum, and only when insisting in public.

I can’t understand why anybody would buy a Tesla right now while the management is all being laid off...

This example needs more stars. 

Did the driver of the ATV not injure himself? I mean, he chose to ride his vehicle without safety gear, at speeds too fast for conditions, in an area he wasn’t supposed to be. And then he crashed his own vehicle at a high rate of speed into a stationary object of greater mass. Seems like driver error to me.

Nah, bro. There are times when the cops should be skewered for their actions.

Just a few days ago, up in Albany, some moron driving an ATV on a pedestrian path hit a student, and now she’s in the hospital in a coma with a TBI. Alexa Kropf, University at Albany student from Floral Park, in medically induced coma after hit-and-run - Newsday

What a piss poor comparison...

Assuming this is really a popular FAMILY trail, the ATV rider was 100% wrong. He was going around a corner so fast he couldn’t avoid a car; same thing would have happened to a stroller, biker, toddler walking on their own, or even a leashed dog. I wish the rider hadn’t been injured, but he deserves whatever fine the…

Cop did the right thing - I honestly don’t see anything wrong with what he did. There are pedestrians on the walkway who could have been seriously hurt or killed by the ATV. The ATV was going so fast that it didn’t even have enough time to stop for the cop car. If he was going around a blind corner and came up fast on…

It’s unfortunate the rider got seriously injured, but I really fail to see what the cop should have done differently except perhaps block the path a little sooner. On the flip side the rider could have:

One was not an active threat to anyone, the other is a guy riding a vehicle that weighs a few hundred pounds at 30+ miles per hour on a path meant for pedestrians lol

Agreed. Bad take on Jalopnik’s part to suggest that the ATV driver running through a bunch of cyclists and pedestrians was the more desirable outcome than hitting a stopped police car. This isn’t exactly the trolley problem, because one of the outcomes is measurably worse than the other.

Play stupid games, win big prizes. I have zero sympathy for the ATV - they brought this upon themselves.
