Can’t even get a peaceful transfer of power in the crane world.

My old driving instructor drilled it into my brain that you should never be going more than 20MPH faster than slowing or stopped traffic in an adjacent lane for precisely this reason.

Stop fucking with your phones, people.

I put some blame on the truck driver too. He should have slowed considerably approaching that line of stopped or nearly stopped cars, because sure as the sun rises in the East some dumbass is going to do *exactly* that without looking.

In 1920 we took the children out of the mines.

He knows a guy that builds auto plants. Name is John. No last name. All he does is build auto plants. No other buildings. He’s got a PhD in auto plant building. Not many people know you can get a degree in that. Too specific they say. I don’t know about that. But I do know John is very smart. Not as smart as me.…

Lol it just keeps getting better. With this whole election year, I swear we live in some kind of “test” universe or something where they’re seeing how ridiculous everything can get before it all just goes completely to shit. And I think they’re close to finding the limit.

I’d probably use many of the same reasons you did…except for the environmental friendliness comment. An EV is so wildly more efficient at converting stored energy to motion that it easily offsets any challenges in production. At this point, you have to be willingly holding onto misinformation to believe otherwise.

That’s Rig Stig

Operating a motorized conveyance in an unsafe manner, with tinted goggles at night, while intoxicated, should not be rewarded, on or off road, dude fucked around and he found out. If he hit a moose, a skier, a tree, etc... it would be a non-story or criminal charge, only way I’d be inclined in his favor is if they…

Um. It was parked on an AIRFIELD. The airfield was negligent in letting snowmobilers use the field at the same time as letting the military land helicopters there.

He was going 65mph in the dark. Reflectors weren’t gonna stop stupid.

fallen tree is not the same thing as a camouflaged helicopter parked on an active snowmobile trail.

but trees aren’t covered in camo.

The military probably paid more than the to a private contractor to scrape the man’s dried blood off the helicopter.

They want people to stop not aim for them.

There are almost 350 million people, and only 20k were murdered last year, or about 0.005%. Seems like a big waste of taxpayer money and resources investigating these crimes.

You can change the level of regenerative braking on the Tesla, from what I recall. Not sure if you can completely turn it off on the Tesla (I drive a Kia EV6 and you can turn regenerative braking off).
Either way, I’m not seeing your point here. You don’t have to keep the foot on the gas pedal for a controlled slow…

This is also a public service announcement that you should not let a 70-yr-old grandmother drive a 400-500hp car (with a 0-60 time of ~4 seconds) unless she knows what she’s doing!
