...consider a dormant car engine light. It’s not emitting anything, but it still signals information: that your engine is fine. That’s counterfactual communication.”

No doubt. I look back at the dumb shit I did behind the wheel when I first got my license and it is a miracle I am still alive. Especially when egged on by friends.

My two eldest grew up in California and we used the “cumulative vehicle IQ” score to impress upon them why they couldn’t drive with friends.

I think many states have a similar law, and would agree, its a beneficial one. Though many have carveouts for family, which this appears to be so not sure if adherence to the law would have made any difference. Either way, a tragic situation.

Dude needs to eat a fucking tire iron. 

Or a career with the police for much longer.

The requirement of many police departments to keep their body and car cameras running at all times is perhaps one of the biggest contributors to eliminating some of the corruption whereas in the past they would give other officers a break and let them off the hook. Now if they were to do something like that its all on…

Kudos to that cop who followed procedure and basically busted his boss. I’m sure he’ll get skewered by other, shittier cops for it.

“I don’t show favoritism to anyone, regardless. I don’t care if you’re a gangbanger or the President of the United States.” Good for that cop. Probably will never have a career with the GOP with that attitude though.

I thought the E golf was a nice little package hampered by it’s very short range

The drama was pretty much contained to this site trying to make something out of nothing. I don’t think it will affect many people’s opinion of the show.

Where’s the moral outrage about an obviously mentally ill person being unjustly kill by (multiple) police officers?

Maybe, just maybe, if your country didn’t allow everyone - including this delusional kid - to wear a gun, shit like this wouldn’t happen. Without that gun on his hip, this probably ends with the kid getting some (well deserved) fines. Yeah, he was a fucking idiot, but that clearly isn’t yet a death penalty offence.

This. Went from...

But what if travelling by train is easier, safer, more economical and more environmentally friendly than flying?

Trump is just a allusion to how our national ethos is about greed, and greed, both personal and political is what is really destroying our ability to have public works like this. We used to be able to build massive infrastructure, highways and dams and parks and now because a divided electorate is playing tribal…

Yes, true but because we are stupid. High speed rail along major corridors would be amazing. Have you ridden trains? It’s fantastic, none of the rigamarole of flying with the ability to walk about and stretch your legs at any time. Europe does it. Asia does it. Works great. And I say this as an airline pilot!

Raisin Bran motherfucker

This happens everywhere. You propose a budget, bids come in, get accepted, and then THEY ALWAYS GO OVER BECAUSE AMERICANS ARE FUCKING GREEDY. This isn’t a California thing as much as you dicks want to make that point. This is an all of us problem. We will NEVER have any good light rail or high speed trains while the…
