[snip] Didn't say "all" 8 in one day is a helluva lot more than a few Yes, and they didn't stop at the end of that day. semi-OT: The polarized plug you're holding is turned wrong, so you need to turn it around for it to fit. As some say "it only takes half a second". Suppose you have 20 things to plug in today. About half will need to be turned around. That's 5 seconds a day, 30 minutes per year. Assuming 60 plugging-in years of life, you've spent over 30 hours turning plugs around. 30 hours is a lot longer than half a second. -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.us/ "The concept of sin divorces morality from reality." |

The driver was obeying his green light and proceeding through the intersection, The girl was DISOBEYING her red light and stepped onto the street when the car was only a few feet away. How was he supposed to stop in about 5 feet? Do you think he has magic brakes with Instant stop? Or are you too stubborn to understand ? |

They say they're going to eliminate 2G and 3G at the end of the year (voice calls will use VOLTE). I wonder what they're going to then.

Or are you too stubborn to understand ? he wasn't paying attention. simple as that. anyone that is in a position where they must 'slam on the brakes' to avoid hitting someone or something is not paying attention and also driving too fast for conditions. drivers do stupid ****. that's why autonomous vehicles can't happen fast enough. |
