Not really. The people who actually steal the cars are easily replaced. In many cases here, they’re basically young adults who are exploited by money in communities in which the parents or parent - by dint of lack of economic opportunity - have to be at work or asleep all the time just to survive.

It happens all the time, but it doesn’t qualify as news, which is why you don’t read about it. Good old confirmation bias at work. Nor do you read about private projects that go overbudget, because it’s also not really news - in the sense that it’s in the public interest to know about it, and private companies don’t…

Uh, no. Nobody is an island, even an unarmored nobody. People make reactions not to run over people, and those reactions can harm themselves, or others. Even somebody who runs out onto a freeway naked as the day they were born is putting everybody else in danger.

man, I came down here to laugh at that but I see it’s already been taken care of

Honestly, I think most the hate for cruise control comes from people used to cars before the adaptive cruise stuff that you can adjust from the…

Adaptive cruise control is the shit. I just pick my highway “adopted car parent” .. like, “Yeah, I wanna go the same speed that person is going” and driving 3 hours to the cottage is pleasant.

The years of inconvenience/consequence some people are willing to submit to just to slake their fleeting thirst for retributive action will never cease to impress me.

It’s what animals do. People are animals. I don’t say that pejoratively - just that a bunch of our baseline behaviour is rooted in the fact that we’re biologically social creatures.

This boat was going to sell for 67 million dollars before Eric Schmidt backed out. $2000 a day is pennies. If it sells for half of that, that would still cover 16,000 days (43 years) of sitting around doing nothing.
