...go on...

Galt’s points are easily disproven by going an hour north.

Shit, I’m 37 and pretty positive that ‘walk off getting your bell rung’ attitudes in sports as a kid / teenager have had an impact on my cognition.

As a kid in the 90s, my grandparents took myself, my sister, and our two cousins from Detroit to Amarillo and back every summer in their big white GMC cargo van. Throw a mattress on the floor, a cooler to sit on in between the front bucket seats, and away you go.

Is there a market for a cheap (cardboard tube) portable bollard? You cut it at an angle and fix the end, and it should be enough to hit a crumple zone and fire an airbag / fuel cutoff before it makes it to the crowd.

Think it’s time to reinvent pikemen?

Bike cops have been filmed repeatedly using their bikes as riot shields / barriers / clubs against protesters.

I went NP, but only because there isn’t a fair option.

I find it really hard to believe this is the first time leather fetish was published on this site.

Boats are a white elephant.

Haven't read the comments yet, but willing to bet there is plenty of Cult of Musk trying to 'well actually' that bad quality is a good thing.

This is all I ever think about when I think of the Delcia in those colors and it’s not a bad thing.

Now that would be a ‘Duke Nukem’ I could get into.

Hell, no reason to have sheriffs or state police perform traffic duties at all.

Turns out that while this is a feature in a lot of newer and higher end cars, the people who tend to get pulled over for ‘burned out taillights’ are less likely to be driving newer and higher end cars.

As a person who grew up with a dad obsessed with towing a boat.

Yup.

Ok, I grew up downriver and spent a ton of time in the lower Detroit River off Grosse Isle and Gibraltar along with Lake Erie.

It would still be a 130' load, and would likely require a lot of the same blocking, permits, etc for each of the two loads.  I think a lot of that is a fixed cost so might as well do it once.

Of several people I’ve known who have worked at SpaceX and Tesla, every one of them says that Elon’s presence only creates more delays and problems, and any success is in spite of him. His presence is literally anti-productive.
