Ultimately, it illustrates the difference between physics (yes, traffic is a system defined by physical laws - traffic flow is ultimately a fluid dynamics problem) and psychology (people’s behavior).

CHiPs came out a year later.  That cannot be a coincidence.

A lot of modern vehicles automatically cut the engine if the airbags deploy, to prevent fire risks.

Insurance is little more than a bet against future risk - the insurance company bets against something happening, you bet it does, the amount of the bet is priced against the probability of the risk being realized. Unlike a lot of people, I’m perfectly fine with that.

Marketing execs are hypocrites?  There’s some shocking news...

Not the first time I’ve heard “Gays will breed and make straights extinct.”

Drive instead.

“Smart” is rarely universal. It’s possible - frequent, even - for a person to be “smart” in a certain narrow regard, and stupid in many, many others. Even Trump, a congenital idiot, was “smart” in one fashion (admittedly, smart at “selling snake oil.” It’s still smarts.)

I can’t look at that grill without recalling what an uncle once said about it.

Why is slide #7 showing a racist hand signal?

I suspect it’s performative on the part of the Academy.  Once the furor blows over and the vanishingly small number of people who truly care about this move on to their next shiny object, the Academy will quietly lift the ban.

And Cruz still doesn’t get it right, since sufferers of Kleinfelter syndrome - people with XXY chromosomes, hence two X’s - are nominally considered male.  

Unless the dealers pulled the old stunt of taking their car keys as a condition of the test drive, then didn’t disclose the pricing scam until after the test drive was over and held their car hostage over it.

I’ve heard more than one story from women claiming to be invited to Congressional orgies, though, to completely doubt the veracity.

Those CRV rims look like something you’d put in a Cuisinart to julienne a carrot.

The AMC Eagle was a great car.

Ultimately the same justification for civil asset forfeiture.  But I’m guessing you don’t support that, because it targets the wrong people.  

I don’t care about the billionaires.  But “Due process for me, not thee” is bullshit, no matter who the exceptions are.

The Christopher Columbus thing comes from the nature of “discovery,” which isn’t just finding something first, but being the first to come back and say “Guess what I found?” Which is precisely what Columbus did.  The tendency of explorers before Columbus was to keep the discovery of the Americas secret, for various
