This. They are still pretty rare in the US and every one implemented should be fought.

“Speed cameras are a fact of life these days, and are generally accepted as such”

Holy shit. this is written by a Michigan fan. They are on a rampage of caring about sexual assault all of a sudden.

Funny how much money and time is spent on: buying and installing cameras to catch cars running red lights; cleaning up accidents; debating/suing/penalizing drivers and townships alike for overly short yellow lights; and now expecting autonomous cars to anticipate these lights, when we could’ve just installed traffic…

My guess: The axles being locked to each other means that the system has more rotational inertia and thus resists locking up. Even if the front wheels want to lock up, the rear wheels which aren’t receiving as much brake are still providing momentum. It’s like putting weaker brakes on the front (or heavier wheels) in…

Both of your posts strike me as a bit misdirected. On one hand, you’re wishing some sort of vigilantee justice inside of prison upon this man (which is morally wrong, in my opinion). On the other, you’re buying into the idea of a “country club” prison, where just being in prison isn’t sufficient punishment for an…

I agree. No one forced these people to use his service. Just like Rent-a-Center, the business model only works when people can’t plan or want something now. If people would actually give 1/4 of a fuck to financial planning and separating needs/wants, payday loans would probably disappear.

Its fucked yes, but at the same time if they didn’t do subprime loans to these folks, we’d be hearing about the opposite issue- new car dealers are “discriminating” and limiting access to reliable vehicles to people with bad credit and poor people. Because you know, everyone deserves to drive a new car. Damned if you…

I’m guessing that’s a retorical question. :P

Do you even have any idea what you are talking about?

What LongBow means is, underpaying is when someone has ‘too much money’ as defined by LongBow. And then not giving most of it to his employees because class envy. LongBow politics 101

Who Ya Got?: Despicable Institution Edition

but unlike Penn State, the MSU community (save Simon and the Board) doesn’t appear to be in denial [read the student body, local press and community leaders]. There will be no statue.

People who I would want being the public face of a movement to get the referees to be less vindictive:

You lost me at Joey Crawford. He was an egotistical prick who believed he was as instrumental to the entertainment of the game as the players. The fact that his name was widely known is a testament to how much he worked to insert himself into the game rather then simply being a dispassionate and fair arbiter.

Better than a new U2 album.

“hello the owner of this phone Courtney. I am buying an iPad.”

Non story. The only reason she was spotted under a highway underpass was simply because she was trying to get an interview with Johnny Manziel.

“Video of Courtney Roland inside ambulance shortly after she was found in Galleria.”

Whoa now, those two agreed to get fucked by him. There were legally binding contracts that are matters of public record to prove that they allowed for such debasement to occur. They paid him to fuck them. If that’s not consensual then we need to have a serious discussion with the Merriams and Websters.
