It's absolutely not moot because if you could predict when an accident was going to occur, IT WOULD NOT BE CALLED AN ACCIDENT. Without some sort of magical, prescient Muad-dib-like power you're out of luck here.

"He's wrong, but he's better at being wrong than other people" is not really a defense you can take to court.

That's nonsense. Why are you assuming a pedestrian is out in the road? What part of this conversation ever had pedestrians out in the road?

The point, dear Professor Brainy Q. Intellegensia, is that small amounts of speed increase result in large amounts of additional damage, regardless of what the speed limit is. Clearly, many of these roads aren't pedestrian (i.e. tunnel). But unsafe isn't just "ohhh I crashed my ride, broseph". Unsafe at even 60-70 MPH…

You're an idiot.

You should really just not be allowed any .GIF privileges.

There should be a licensing bureau for that .GIF. So people like you can't use it.

I feel like this thread is something of a dividing line between "grown-ups who are part of a society, an act with regard to others' lives", and "SPEED BROZ!".

Fun (and totally damning) fact: The default speed limit in NYC is 30 miles per hour!

Just a five pound bag of raw potatoes stashed in the filing cabinet at your work. Just open 'er up and chow down. Healthy, hearty, and a few cleansing farts.

1) Every aspect of "Western" culture—which increasingly pervades and dominates global culture—demands and validates female thinness to the exclusion of nearly every other attribute.

There's a significant amount of what Jez likes to call "slut-shaming" in making Weiner a villain for consensual sexting. There's also a significant amount of humiliating criticism of Huma Abedin for her choice.

It's kind of weirdly sarcastic to put actual boxing gloves as the logo for the digital boxing fight. It kind of feels like you're making fun of fight gamers

Part of Silva's genius is that the goading, the clowning, is worked into the fact that he's an unbelievably finely-tuned counterpuncher. He's the rolls royce of response, and making people come at him is his bread-and-butter. He wants to be chased, to be hounded and to be taken down because in the chase, he finds…

I believe by "mechanical" error, they just mean the actual maintenance and upkeep of the mechanism of the airplane. If there was a structural or underlying failure in the airplane as a product, that could be blamed on Boeing, and all other errors on human/computer fallibility.

But really though, video games had nothing whatsoever to do with anything in this story. This is maybe a story about... online purchasing? Credit cards?

The second season of The Legend of Korra can't come soon enough.

Somehow putting a memoir about failures as a parent seems noble, meanwhile there exists WHOLE PROFESSIONS of people whose lives are devoted to rearing and raising children, and with the sacrifice of some time and money, people could easily learn what the best way to deal with tantrums is. It doesn't solve the…

This is getting stupid. You're just adding in qualifications in order to prejudice whatever thought experiment you're running so that you can say that humans can win.

You absolutely cannot outrun a horse over any distance, especially over long distances. We are good at long-distance jogging, but certainly not the best:
