Police serve a vital function to society and their presence is needed. I think virtually everyone with any measure of sense can admit that at some level. However, one bad apple really does spoil the bunch. Until police officers and their unions are willing and able to act in the best interests of the society they are…

methinks you need to re-read what i wrote.

This is what police officers readily do, putting their lives on the line to save others. Pity that a tiny fraction of bad cops on a power trip ruin it for the rest

but it seems the driver purposefully stopped for a full half-minute right on the seam where solid road meets bridge. They’re basically parked in the middle of the road for no apparent reason.

Over a decade ago, LeBron James announced that he was taking his talents to South Beach.

I have some off roading people that just normally keep that kind list in their trucks everyday. They are a bit on the government MAGA side of things though.

I just watch my wife play first. 1/6 every time.

Really amazed at the “both-sides-ism” here.

I’m sorry... what? You’re saying that a ship yard constructing a ship....

If you’re prepared to also inject a couple million dollars into ‘my’ economic system, you can knock yourself out.

Agreed. The bridge was last overhauled 15 yrs ago. Salt does a number on steel in that time and they could have seen Bezos as a golden ticket to get it brought up to snuff for free. 

Jeff should have thought about that before making his big boaty boat.

While this is generally true, I am sure Bezos is on the hook for dismantling and more. There is likely some deferred maintenance that needs to be completed, inspections, etc that will now all fall on his shoulders. Not to mention this ship and now its associated move will have infused millions into the local economy. 

Good argument!

Frankly, not really, no. Their history isn’t being ‘dismantled’, it’s being temporarily deconstructed and then reconstructed to allow a ship to pass. Is their council backtracking on an earlier promise? Yeah, sounds like it. Could they be kicked out of office as a result? Yep for sure. Is it possible that council…

Yeah I forgot about Porsche somehow. I’ll take the brave stance that Porsches are cooler than Hyundais.

Yep. My driving got a *lot* better as soon as I bought a dash cam.

Since we’re comparing Grandmothers - my American Grandma shot a man on the side of the road in the central valley back in the 30s. Apparently her and a friend were hitchhiking, caught a ride with a man, and when he started following them on foot after dropping them at the side of the road they realized his intentions…

Can we be real for a minute?

I used to do work like this. we had a guy at the docks that would call when a container ship full of TV/VCR combos would come in, he would tell me what truck and what highway it was on
