We, as a society, agree you should be an adult before you can own a firearm. Something about being mature enough to be responsible with a deadly machine unsupervised. Yet we let a 16-year-old get a license and drive anything from a 3-ton brodozer to a Lambo SUV. Then, when they commit manslaughter, the driver is… Read more

The punishment is too light, but this is probably not too far from the mark. We do make a distinction for juveniles and there has to be a line at some point between the two, even if everyone here thinks 17 is too old, and it’s definitely manslaughter, and not “what basically amounts to murder, as the author put it.

The filthy rich and their spawn are not “able to learn and be a better person.” They have been taught their entire lifetime that us poors are nothing of import. We are disposable. We are trash. They think in terms like “I can kill as many people as I like by poisoning their environment and only pay a small fine,” or,… Read more
If he has such mental issues how about we throw the father in jail for, essentially, handing his son a loaded gun knowing full well he wasn’t able ot handle it. As long as the .1% cab buy their way out of anything this will continue. They are so far beyond the rest of the world there isn’t a dollar amount that can… Read more
Harsh punishments often do not work with clueless arrogant dudes that think that they will not get caught. murders know murder has harsh penalties and yet they still kill.
OR, and here me out here, why not hold people responsible and throw the book at them instead. How many times do we have to show that you can’t fix stupid with technology. If anything, you only make it worse.
For all the detail they DID put in, they missed one crucial thing in the visuals - the bikes in front are not leaving ‘dry’ trails on the road. You would absolutely be able to see both a ‘dry’ trail on the ground (where the tyres had pumped water out of the way, and before they filled in again with more rain). More… Read more
I think there’s two big reasons at play why someone would think this is realistic. One being the type of device you’re viewing it on, on a phone it’s much harder to pick out any details, on a pc with a high res monitor you can easily determine the scenery is not real, even the bike the rider doesn’t look right from a… Read more

Range Rover has to be on the list, right? A friend of mine has one (one of the long ones). It’s a 2019. He says that it’ll pass anything on the road except a gas station and a mechanic. Constant warranty repairs. Things just fail. The non-warranty stuff is atrociously expensive to fix.
The Dom - the club on St. Mark’s Place here in New York where, in 1966, Andy Warhol first promoted the Velvet Underground in his Exploding Plastic Inevitable show - is now a Chipotle. Read more
I need to see this as soon as possible. That’s a shame about Haynes downplaying the Doug Yule period though, the self titled 3rd album is brilliant and Loaded is at least a very good album if not a masterpiece. Plus the best live documentation of The Velvet Underground, The Quine Tapes, is all from the post-Cale… Read more
This sort of incentive program always starts with discounts. Always. Gradually over time though, the discounts become less and punitive measures start to creep in. After enough time there will be almost no incentives, only penalties. It will always be portrayed as a method that improves safety so if you’re against it… Read more
what’s most interesting to me is that there is no charging infrastructure for interstate electric semi trucking. as far as i could find from a cursory google search, that’s not an exaggeration. there’s none. putting that in place will be incredibly expensive, but also weirdly simple to do. with some forethought, it… Read more
We tried an electric mower and the battery life still leaves something to be desired (get multiple ones for hot swaps), but the lack of emissions, quiet operation, and lower vibrations makes it almost a joy to use. I started landscaping when I was 13, but had to stop after a few years because even the 4-stroke emission… Read more
