My high school years were proper shite, so it can’t be everyone.

I think it was a bad attempt at a joke honestly. Dude isn’t an asshole, he flat out says it isn’t safe and wouldn’t let his kids drive it.

I see that image and think of Columbo

Ah, but those are normal maintenance.

Academics are some of the most egotistical and insular people you’ll ever interact with, brilliant or otherwise. It’s one of the main reasons I left academia. Well that and a saturated and exploitative labour market.

Well, at least it’s not a Pinto.

To be short, the evidence is pointing to a source civilization in remote antiquity. From which astronomy and mathematics survived the longest among the peoples that preserved it. It is unknown if it was a civilization of a single culture that had global reach or global civilization of many cultures. Either way…

If you only put the caliper bolts in finger-tight, they’ll fall out on any car.

An active conspiracy in liberal newsrooms? I agree, no. But a tidal wave of personal biases that accomplishes much the same freeze-out of legitimate conservative ideas as somehow “extreme”? Absolutely. It isn’t as intentional as the right-wing crazies would have you believe, but it exists nonetheless and it only…

I think it depends on exactly what that furniture looks like...

Yup. Crony Capitalism isn’t the free market.

So many NOPES! to this bogus list.

Doug... seriously. How is a government controlled entity any more trustworthy and reliable than privately controlled one? Aren’t they both made up of people? And aren’t people generally going to act differently when power/influence/control are provided to them, regardless of whether they work for Big Jim or the…

Here’s a better soundtrack.

Police are always our friends and are always looking out for our best interests. They also never do any wrong themselves and should automatically be given our complete, blind trust and treated like war heroes.

Back then it really did not feel like criminal activity. It felt like spelunking. You explored a cave, mapped it, and documented it. When people started talking about the fbi raiding kids homes, we just assumed they were looking for pirated computer games.

It may only be a “$100 mirror” but ignoring the issue is just as bad as causing it. I’m not saying that the BMW was correct in what he did by following them (and probably breaking the law in that pursuit), but ignoring it will just cause the next issue to be a “$300 dollar door panel” or a “$500 something else”.

Guys…

Yeah that’s one interpretation. I tend to agree with Sean MacDonald’s interpretation;

^This. Yeah some dumbass went way too fast and COULD HAVE killed all the things. What about the 70 year old going 45mph in the left lane while furious drivers go around him? What about the asshole that constantly doesn’t bother using his turn signal? What about the 26 year old girl on her phone the entire time on the…

One of many valid questions. We see this from the IIHS every single time they try to prop up the “speed kills” myth. There are always exclusions based on “factors” that they’ll name vaguely but won’t their actual math forward. It’s pretty clear up front how much manipulating was done to get the wanted result when the…
