We’ve had 150+ years of living with trains, more than long enough for the basic “don’t fuck with a train” knowledge to be a steadfast part of common culture. I say this as someone who used to hop on & off a very slow moving train to get to work in the mornings. I knew it was stupid, but even I was smart enough to jump…

When has the lack of “fossil proof” bothered people in Utah?

The Prius should have a factory installed bumper sticker that says “Saving the planet by riding my brakes”.

Investing is a lot like gambling in the sense that you expect to make money based on your opinions, not your productivity. It might be an educated opinion, but it is still other people doing the work and there no guarantee that your opinion will become fact.

The multiple stages in today’s races are a prime example of “contrived”. Just race the fuckin’ cars, start to finish, and see who wins. 

This is pretty rich coming from an asshole who would love nothing more than to see public employees receive no pensions.

Should be 3 options for this one:  Nice Price; No Dice; Hell Yeah, Brother.

Also, they’d certainly be riding bareback.

Let’s not forget how many of the people driving those 3+ ton vehicles have their noses buried in their smartphones. Or the people who use their smartphones for “real-time” navigation rather than pre-trip research to know where they are going before they start the car.
