There doesn’t have to be space open _in front_ of the space where the lane changer is headed. That seemed pretty rare when I’ve driven in SF or LA. And there are lots of situations where he won’t see you. He certainly won’t when you are in the blind spot right beside him. If there are muliple bikes he may have seen…

Wait, an unoccupied lane? Are we really talking about the SF area? Having space to ‘accelerate quickly’ is going to be pretty rare.

What? Why would I read an article on lane positioning when I know exactly where the blind spot in my rear view mirrors is. It’s just to my left and slightly behind my head. Don’t go there.

Lanesplitting? You do understand that cars are allowed to change lanes don’t you? And that motorcycles are basically invisible even when they aren’t intentionally in the car’s blind spot?

Collapeses usually aren’t predictable. Otherwise everyone would get rich in our boon/bust economy.

Never is kind of a strong word when in fact your link shows a time with more favorable than unfavorable responses.

Mitt Romney proved that you can’t court the Wall St. side in the Republican primaries and then still pretend to be centrist enough to win the general election. Trump at least knows to try from the other direction - and with the end game being Florida in the general election he’s probably not far off with his appeal.

I don’t get it. Did the station have to pay some royalties for something he mentioned that they were too cheap to pay?

Celebrities are overrated. Get over them. And stop paying to see them too.

You are right that the debate is pointless, but not for any of the reasons you state. You touch on it as “opportunity cost” but it really is about inflation which nobody can predict. The thing that lead up to the housing crash was the fact that everyone took out a 30 year loan that became easier to pay back over the…

Tastes are mostly acquired, so you might as well keep it cheap and easy...

I always wonder what is a ‘household’ when I see income/budget numbers. Also, I’d like to know how many of those people are actually saving the 20% suggested here.

See them coming? Nobody sees lanesplitters coming - motorcycles are invisible enough when they stay in the lanes but when they are in your blind spot on purpose there’s no chance.

So you didn’t take it as an opportunity to scream obscenities at them?

Other side? Cars drive on both sides around here.

The article did say this was just the fourth biggest firm in this business. US politicians go big or go home.

The problem is that back when your old washer was made we used laundry detergents that actually contained detergent which, while bad for the environment, would actually clean clothes predictably. Now there are just enzymes or something smart that requires thinking a random amount of time before anything gets clean.…

So, street drugs that probably weren’t LSD?

Some of us are old enough to remember when it wasn’t, though.

You know that taste is relative don’t you? If you don’t keep escalating the damage to your taste buds with extreme stuff, the subtleties of normal food would be fine.
