So, they did attempt to deploy a stop stick (and successfully deflated a tire), but felt that it posed an OFFICER SAFETY RISK and chose not to try it again.

Also, Dallas, TX (the D in DFW) has entirely banned use of the strips for years now, and Fort Worth has considered doing the same, for officer safety reasons. http…

My ex-wife topped off the washer fluid for me while I was getting gas in my Crown Vic a number of years ago. We had just driven through a plague of insects and I had used up a gallon of the stuff in about an hour. What I didn’t realize is that she gently lowered the hood but didn’t realize it wasn’t latched. Because…

Spike strips are easy enough to avoid even at high speed, at low speed it would be barely worth trying, but also requires you to put a police officer on foot out of their vehicle potentially in the path of a fleeing suspect who has plenty of time to spot and react and potentially attempt to hit the officer.

For some reason this comment made me giggle like a simpleton for a solid minute.

I was actually excited to do this, until I realized every car that I’ve owned died in my hands.

This is one of the reasons I keep a GPS tracker and Dashcam in my car. There are enough black Chargers out there being driven by knuckleheads that I know someday I’m going to get pulled over for something someone else did. At least I’ll have some of my own evidence against it.

I always got grey and grey confused, but realized one day grEy = England, grAy = A‘MERICA.

It’s intentionally very difficult to sue the police and win. If they arrested him in good faith, believing him to be the speeder, whether or not they were ultimately wrong, then they’re not going to be held liable. Refusing to look at the video is the only thing that can cause them trouble, and probably only if they…

Hm. This apocalyptic asteroid is hurting my eyes with its brightness, I shall put my visor down now.

I was watching their live broadcast in tvnweather.com when this happened (I live in Fort Worth, the storm was on track for my area after Stephenville but broke south a bit and put down some big tornadoes near Rio Vista, TX).

Your machine is slightly better than mine except I have 16GB RAM vs your 8 (though I don’t think it matters here). You’re a couple generations ahead of me on CPU and one generation ahead on GPU. On my machine, it runs at 1080p with mid-to-low settings pretty smoothly. It doesn’t look AMAZING but it still looks pretty…

Not cool, dude. Not cool.

Unless they've changed anything, your intervals are only in 1 month increments. What if I typically go through something in 6 weeks? I either have it coming every month and after a while end up with a lot of excess, or have it come every every 2 months and spend 2 weeks with none.

Serious question... Was your school mascot the Armadillo, and if not, why not?

Absolutely, I was so freaking excited when I saw this article. Gonna play some FF ASAP

I actually think it somehow made that ridiculous video even more charming.

I'm holding out hope for a SimCopter clone

Probably $60,000, paid for by my in-laws.

Yeah I have a 27" 2560x1440 and I love it but I don't think my eyes could handle the higher dpi of a 4K screen only 1" larger. I'm holding out for a good 60hz 32" or bigger.

Yes
