Backseat has two people, one with a seat belt, one without. Guess who looks way more hurt? Yeah I lost my very best friend a few years back in an accident that involved a head on collision. Neither her or the guy she was with were wearing their seat belts. They both died. The people in the other car survived. They had theirs on. Such a loving pointless way to die. Buckle up folks. What was surprising was how calm most of those people looked while in the middle of spinning out and crashing. And my God those people texting and driving.

The Republicans have spent decades cultivating a voter base comprised of some of the lowest common denominator groups in order to win elections, and now it's biting them in the rear end: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/02/us/politics/wary-of-donald-trump-gop-leaders-are-caught-in-a-standoff.html?_r=2

There's a good post about setting speed limits too low on the first page of the Ask a Traffic Engineer thread. Long story short, speed limits are supposed to be set somewhere around the fastest speed at which the worst designed vehicle can safely negotiate the road in dry conditions (called design speed). But grandpa complains about those drat kids driving too fast and the speed limit gets lowered because old people vote in local elections. Most roads (at least most roads the OP has done a speed study on) then end up with speed limits about 10 MPH lower than the design speeds (and surprise, most end up driving near the design speed anyway).

In fact, Montana experimented with removing speed limits in the day altogether and found that accidents decreased. Turns out people who are going to drive at dangerous speeds will be dangerous assholes even when it's illegal, and most drivers just drive at whatever speed is comfortable for them in the first place.

Testekill posted:I was actually considering posting about survivor series last week. There's just something beautiful about the WWE attempting to make Roman Reigns as sympathetic as possible and the fans booing him afterwards so loudly that they have to turn off the crowd mics and pump his music way up. It just shows that they don't learn since the exact same thing happened the last time they tried to make Roman a big deal. why do they hate him? did he murder his family but forget to commit suicide?

Go to Germany. The autobahns have a minimum speed but no maximum. You'd be mad to try and max your car though; quite a lot of it is dual carriage and German lorry drivers do not give a gently caress about right of way.

Speed limits are only set so low so the government can extort money from all the perfectly good and responsible drivers The USG passed a law and pressured the states to set a cap of 55 mph by restricting federal funds, even if the roads were designed for much faster traffic in the 70s as a way to reduce oil consumption during the energy crisis. Act was repealed eventually, but institutional inertia and all that means there are still old roads that are lower than it needs to be.

There is a speed minimum but it's like 60 or something. Just saying so no one thinks the speed signs at the autobahn are the minimum you have to drive.

snergle posted:why do they hate him? did he murder his family but forget to commit suicide? wrestling fans and promoters are giant retards Basically the hatred from Roman comes from a few places WWE has a really popular guy named Daniel Bryan who has basically been a real underdog. He had been screwed out of the title several times and finally won it at Wrestlemania after his father died, and was poised for a decently long run. Then it turns out the wrestling style that got him really popular really hosed up his neck, and he had to vacate the title a month into his reign because he needed surgery and an arm that could work. When WWE broke up the Shield by having Seth "My ex-fiance posted my dick pics on twitter after I dumped her for a nazi" Rollins, around the same time of the title vacating, there were 2 babyfaces that came out of it - Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. Reigns was always given higher matches on the card, though Ambrose feuded with Rollins and headlined a show. The message is clear, WWE wants Roman Reigns to be the next Cena/Hogan/Bruno as a long lasting top babyface of the company. Reigns was doing pretty well for a while, but Ambrose fans got miffed after he was written off TV (Ambrose left to film a movie) and Reigns was slotted into the Rollins program in his place. Reigns had to leave to get surgery (strangulated hernia), so he never really finished his feud with Seth, and Ambrose came back and the feud with Rollins kind of petered on until Hatsune Miku popped out of a lantern and things went to poo poo after that. Fast forward to the end of the year, where Ambrose has a pretty good head of momentum, Reigns is building his back up again, and we get to the Royal Rumble. The winner of the rumble gets a spot in the ME of Wrestlemania. Daniel Bryan coms back after finally getting a quack to clear his rehab, and is entered into the rumble as well. People remember last year. They really want Bryan to win. They might be ok with Ambrose. Some of the snarkier fans don't want anything to do with Reigns, because he cooled off after his hernia surgery. At the end of the Rumble, Reigns wins and the fans boo because it isn't Ambrose and it isn't Bryan. Daniel Bryan then wrestles another 3 months still doing really stupid head and neck spots after his surgery and concusses himself right after Wrestlemania and he hasn't been on TV since. chitoryu12 posted:I've been falling behind on wrestling, but what I've seen of Roman is a lot of crap. The guy's a poo poo actor even by wrestler standards and doesn't have nearly as much charisma as WWE thinks he does. Reigns is a decent promo, but they were really writing some horrible material for a while. Rock might have salvaged some of it, but having a dude who basically should be "I'm big. I'm strong. gently caress you. I'm doing this poo poo my way." should not be saying "Sufferin' Sucotash". OJ MIST 2 THE DICK has a new favorite as of 01:37 on Dec 2, 2015 |

My mom, based on a couple trips to Germany, adores the autobahn. This is a woman who is terrified of speeds over 60mph. She loves it because, as she claims, there is a huge factor that solves sooooo many problems: the left lane, like most places, is the passing lane, but Germany actually enforces it hard.
