You assume correctly.

Articles like this remind me what a blessed state we are in to not be assaulted by his face, voice, and tweets, daily. I’m enjoying the reprieve, mightily.

I always get some kook on some low power local station who’s a doomsday prepper who goes on about conspiracy theories and all the advertisers are bulk meal providers, gun ranges, and how to invest in precious metal.

Maybe he was minding his own damned business and the locals didn’t take too well to him being there? As a Pacific Northwesterner who lived in rural GA for 6 years, I can tell you they give you the look. “You ain’t from around here, are you boy?”

This is all technical, regulatory, CYA stuff. Not anything a casual observer couldn’t surmise, based merely on the fact Tesla did not announce regulatory approval for “autonomous" Level 2 (3) in California. If they had achieved that step formally then dont we all think Musk would have announced that already?

I’ve been to my share of rural gas stations in Iowa and Missouri over the past year for various reasons. I never got anything more than a bemused side-eye from the majority-unmasked folks there. I also try not to engage or even make eye contact of any kind with anyone, though that’s been going on for far longer than a…

Russian athletes have been banned from competition by the World Anti-Doping Agency due to the country’s use of performance-enhancement drugs in the 2014 Winter Olympics. So, Nikita Mazepin is racing under a neutral flag (which is allowable). That said, representations of Russian flags by Russian athletes are also…

My 4 year old can see the speedometer, so he always tells me to go 100. I have a Pontiac G6 that has a menu setting that lets you change the speedo from english to metric, so if I'm going around 60 I'll switch it to metric and he gets super excited. His other thing right now is asking what city we are in, and he now…

He is Russian and nobody is going to arrest him stating that. He just isn’t racing under Russian flag.

WADA has jurisdiction because the FIA chose to be under WADAs jurisdiction and because the Olympics are also under WADAs jurisdiction. 

First of all, they’re not banning Mazepin from racing, just from racing “as a Russian”.

Are you implying it will be LEGENDary?

I wondered about that, but, honestly, I don’t think so. The main cooling system radiator is low and pulls its air from below the bumper, and the top area is mostly fluid reservoirs, HVAC stuff that’s usually crammed into dash areas, and plastic mounting frameworks. Again, many others can do it just fine.

I better fix that

That work truck looked perfectly capable to me. Why pick on the work truck?

Of course he was reading that garbage while driving. I’m surprised his defense isn’t that the deer must have shape-shifted into a man after he hit it, clearly a result of microchipped bioengineering by Bill Gates that Bill sent to run out in front of the car to paint him as a murderer. Hillary and Obama are behind…

I think that part of this is that - through experience - humans have learned to pick out signs of a bad/aggressive driver. If I see a moron driving like that rushing up on me, I’d probably move out of the lane if I had time or I would ease off the gas/tap the brakes when he goes to cut me off. Because I can see his…

“I think we’d all like to think that if we were driving we would have simply moved over...or not been in that lane” - if you don’t know that you wouldve, or simply slowed down when the BMW came over, then you shouldnt be driving

It most certainly is a negotiation. I’ve worked with an Indian tribe and they’ve become very adept at playing the victim card. Usually it’s a shakedown for a payout; then they start to infighting over which of their own factions get it. See casinos, Keystone XL Pipeline, literally any government social program and now…

That stupid fucking aluminum "gallery"  cost about $7 to make on a CNC machine.
