Key word “unreasonable”. Things aren’t unreasonable until a judge rules it is. The cop was working with plenty of precedent on his side. Note that two trial judges AND the state court of appeals agreed with him. So I would assume that in CA this was pretty well settled law. It is the Supreme’s role to review this sort…

The 4th amendment says:

So if I can make it to my garage, I’m safe!

You know, people could just save themselves the trouble of having to rent a car and just drive to Hawaii in their own.

Look, give them a break, they’ve tried nothing and are all out of ideas!

If you want to get around the Big Island and see more than a resort, a rental car is the only reasonable way to do it. I would be infuriated if I was a resident, but it’s hard to blame tourists for choosing a legal and economical option.

If only there was a publicly funded way of transporting large groups of people all over the island without needing to have everyone drive their own car.

I’ve been there, the drive-around for taller vehicles is one fucking block over. And as others have said, it’s a railway bridge, so lifting the bridge means regrading the rails for literally miles in both directions. It’s not that easy.

*Ahem*

Even if it all was a flight of fancy, the original rocket car story penned by someone at the Cult of the Dead Cow leaves you wishing it happened. I read it back in 1998 when the CDC had a shit ton of stories in their website and I used to read the most relevant hacker zines out there.

Let’s simplify this, let’s make a drinking game out of how far she makes it. One shot for every mile she makes it. You will be depressingly sober afterwards.

Maybe they could work out a deal with their neighbor the USS Iowa.   Have the Queen Mary towed out to sea and let the 16 inch guns on the Iowa send her out in a blaze of glory.   I'm sure that Queen Mary would make a great artificial reef.

I wonder what the 0-60 time that will literally kill you is.

Now, just for the record, this is not something that Elon was the first to dream up; the idea of rocket thrusters on non-rockets isn’t exactly new. Bosch demonstrated a thruster-assist for motorcycles in 2018, and I myself proposed the idea back in 2012, though both of these concepts were more about using them as…

Yeah, I don’t want a 6000 PSI air tank designed and built by Tesla anywhere near me, let alone directly behind me sitting on top of 800KG of li-ion batteries. 

I did not say this was racially motivated.

David, you’re better than this. Unless you think that lawmakers are going after redneck white kids in their 20's for some reason, there’s just no evidence at all that this is racially motivated. You’ve been spending too much time with your fellow writers who seem hellbent on turning every situation into a political…

The “driver” can just sit in the sleeper cab and play video games between Bismark and Fargo.

The “driver” part of the equation is something I’m sure we’ll figure out in the next 10 years. It’s all the other things drivers do that artificial intelligence can’t do. (At least, not well.) Pulling up to a loading dock? Navigating extremely tight turns? Cleaning the inside of the trailer? Repairing the reefer?

I thought they had this technology for some time now
