Got hit in the back of the head by an extra-wide rear-view mirror while I was riding a bike, on the right in the same direction as traffic, as traffic law mandated and I had been taught, North up U.S. 41 (it was only two lanes back then) just North of Tampa.

I think the police are a bit better nowadays

Them bitches are jelly because they never let Trump drive that big rig. 

Also needs a “Gimme a vector, Victor!” or two.

I want to know what the CRV driver was thinking when she was trying to get out of a moving car. Guess she was dazed (or she was already dazed before the accident).

And again how embedded links are effed-up within a posting.... So WTF is up with that?

As a relative of one of these types, the answer to all of these is a resounding no. Obsessing over shit like this is pretty much it 

Of course the guy in the passenger seat wasn’t driving. That’s ridiculous. It was a remote control truck. Kamala was really driving it from her desk in the Oval Office.

In this case the driver got charged with DUI vehicle manslaughter (at 10 a.m. on a Sunday morning), so it would seem to be hard toward one end of the spectrum of possibilities.

The infrastructure really makes it a regional debate. The west coast was a little easier to deal than other places I’ve lived, with the frequency of bike lanes and high number of cyclists making the interaction more common. However, I never ride anymore unless it is an off-road bike trail. I’ve had too many near

Now playing

Stories like these are why I’ve decided to ditch the road bike and pick up a MTB. Sure I might crash into a tree, but the likelihood of getting creamed by a Suburban is infinitely smaller.

“As for your Beetle analogy: you would be right if Tesla published promotional material in which they showed people sitting in the rear seats of their cars while Autopilot was driving. “

I really hope they get to the root cause of the crash. Hopefully we can grow from this, and branch out with better traffic laws and awareness. Im just going to leaf this here.

I use dehydrated mushrooms (and many other dried things - because less rot) and when I rehydrate them I add a splash in the hot water. I then use the water to add moisture to whatever I am sauteing. Did this just this weekend with Pho broth and rice noodles (etc). It’s in a mason jar - for lunch. 

Cars today....

How’s this for a novel concept AT&T why not make your internet and phone service actually good that way you won’t be loosing customers. 

“What if, and stay with me here, what if Superman wasn’t dour? *Gasp* What if all Mans were Aquamans?”

Just imagine if Disney bought Time Warner putting DC and Marvel under the same umbrella.

That's really too bad about The Unicorn. It was never a gutbuster, but it was charming and well-written and the cast was incredibly likable. 

The patriarch of the clan was referred to as Mr. Bean.
