I’d assume the next passenger would simply flag that taxi as dirty and grab the next one.

Yep, there are a lot of futurists who believe autonomous cars will be the death knell for the very concept of individuals owning their own cars everywhere but the most rural of areas.

Some people are neither and don’t enjoy getting drunk.

Uh huh. And wouldn’t it suck to step into an existing Taxi, have the door lock behind you, and be kidnapped right off the street.

Unless it prioritizes whichever group is obeying the rules of the road, (which is always the car, because it’s programmed to) it’s a no-go for me.

Maybe the guy means far southwest Asia, like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Saudia Arabia, etc.

When the lights are off, unload your gun.

You overestimate the cartels. They do have significant presence is Mexico, but aren’t nearly as pervasive as you are attempting to make it seem. Not to mention lethally competitive with each other. Probably safer from whichever cartel he was running from in a different cartels territory than he would have been in the…

And yet he did relocate at least twice. Both times hopping the border into the U.S. instead of some place safer in Mexico.

Not sure when you went, but you do realize Brazil is in a ridiculously hard economic downturn, and has a significantly higher murder rate than Mexico?

Just throwing this out there, but Mexico is a big country. Maybe not quite as big as the U.S. but still up there. (13th largest in the world)

To be fair, I wouldn’t say gaining access to somebodies facebook account is really “hacking”. It could have easily been done by a student who doesn’t like her if she was using facebook in class and went to the bathroom or something during a study period and forgot to log out.

Why? What, precisely, would be the police departments motive to be withholding information? The police chiefs son was in the freezer luring her in with candy?

Maybe she’s undressed? Maybe she’s talking about how much she wants to kill herself/hate her family?

Corollary: Slaloming through traffic is simply proof that half the cars you are passing are driving in the wrong lane. Perhaps illegally. (in areas where stay right except to pass is codified in law)

Yellow speed signs on offramps/etc. are advisory, not mandatory, and designed to be safe for the lowest common denominator.

Something I’ve been sort of curious for a while. At what point did “taking a knee/kneeling” become a sign of disrespect instead of a sign of increased respect?

Eh? My phone was an iPaq as well, and while it came with a stylus, (which was literally just a plastic stick), I don’t remember having any trouble using my fingers to navigate. (though I *do* remember having trouble selecting specific bits of text without it’s fine point) I also don’t particularly recall having much…

So, stones make it so you can force your opponent to:

I was unaware “white people” in general were upset that some kid committing suicide by cop got shot.
