Happens when you stick your head up your ass for extended periods of time.

Why not throw in the 5th?  Would that help with justifying ‘just compensation’?

Yeah, I could totally use a small van that’ll fit a bunch of gear and can easily be a multi-purpose vehicle. A VW California fits the bill... but I think I just figured out why we’ll never see one here... they’re all TDI powered.

Doesn’t matter how many have burned or that they catch fire less frequently than internal combustion powered vehicles. They just get plenty of coverage because they usually burn in some of the most spectacular ways and once extinguished, re-ignite, sometimes more than once.

Yes and no... most of the other types of energy reduction barriers are only good for one big hit, maybe two if you get lucky. But at least it would prevent throwing them back onto the track and into traffic. Maybe some sort of combination of SAFER and something other than polystyrene as the energy absorber since…

Now that you mention the ‘camera only’ Tesla approach, I’m wondering about the lights on the emergency vehicles. LED lights appear to flicker when you video them, emergency vehicles (modern ones anyway) use LED strobe lights. I wonder how the cameras and software ‘see’ those lights. Those may just look like regular…

It’s not just about a single plant, it’s the entire process. From the Impossible web page (Impossible Whopper, plant based meat substitute, the sausage kinda sucks, but the burgers are pretty good)

Now that you mention this, it’s actually the opposite of greenwashing.

Yeah, growing up a white kid in the country and seeing this on MTV I kept thinking to myself... he’s got to be lip syncing this... no way a skinny, white, GINGER... sounds like he belongs on Soul Train (which I also watched because there wasn’t much on TV back then and Soul Train rocked... and they had the Soul Train…

Trunk Monkey!

Nah, ties perfectly into the fear that it’s a sign you’re marked for abduction... except the other way around... and then ties directly back into the “never fuck with a man’s ride”.

Oh, someone’s getting abducted alright... and it’s the fucking clown who throws cheese on my car.

What’s it called? I’d rather not have to dig through all the wacky-pseudo Swedish names to find it. And I’m going to be in need of that soon, winter is just over the horizon and I’ll be hiding in the basement with the records.

Well, it’s New London, CT so... pretty much.  All the interesting crime happens under the watch of the USN Shore Patrol, NCIS and FBI down there.  But considering the guy was from the area and how far he pursued the case, it’s shocking no one woke up and realized that he’d be a great asset to them.

You usually get something for your labour... in this case, probably a free bottle of gin or maybe just a t-shirt.

On a personal level, I’ll hit up those I care about and keep hammering... unfortunately for me, I’m the ‘responsible party’ at work who’s job description includes ‘manager’ and ‘safety’ so I also have the pleasure of hammering on upper management about the need for whatever will prevent employee injury and illness...…

I work with some folks who were hesitant, so I focused on people I care about and/or don’t want to have to replace. Narrowed that number down to a manageable population and kept hammering at it.  It worked.

You know this is a car site, correct?

I doubt the aftermarket part of that. It’s running the same motor and transmission as the GTI & GolfR... not to mention a bunch of the Audi’s, Skoda’s and SEAT’s run the EA888 motor as well.
