and "I'll pray for you" is southern for "gently caress You!" Source, I am a TN Resident, unfortunately. I have become accustomed to replying "Well gently caress you too!"

Well gently caress, it was me today. Three way mini-roundabout, everyone appears around the same time, there was a few moments of confusion as no-one wanted to go first then I decided to go for it just after the guy to my right had the same idea (UK, so he had right of way), making him stop sharply. It was my fuckup for pulling out looking to make sure I wasn't being blocked to the left rather than if poo poo was coming from the right and I'm pretty pissed off at myself, so I'm sorry random guy, and I'm glad you were paying more attention than me. Minor poo poo on the scale of things, but I hate loving up like that.

How are you ever going to Win At Driving if you admit to making a mistake and try to learn from it to avoid doing it again in the future? That's showing weakness!

That's correct, I know for a fact that my driving skills are infallible and I am a perfect driver.

There's one idiot in a white Tesla Model S with whom we do not share the road any more, mostly because he drove onto the tram tracks around the corner from where I live  This is where he ended up:   And I think this is how he got there:

mobby_6kl posted:Still, that lead to a crash so he's a dick by definition. Not to mention if you watch the whole video, the brake-check rear end in a top hat sped off and didn't even bother stopping to help. So yeah, they knew what they did and didn't want to suffer repercussions, makes them an unsafe, reckless rear end in a top hat.

This happened in a suburb here in Atlanta today around 4:30 PM and will gently caress up traffic since it took the power out. The Georgia Department of Transportation says they do not expect normal traffic flow to be restored in the area for five-to-six hours. There is so much going on in the pic, and I have no details on what happened exactly.

Why are 3 people fighting (dancing?) behind the SUV? Why does it look like one of them is wearing a riot helmet? Why is that guy yelling at a garbage truck? How does a full size SUV get so messed up by a pole?

Trees are pretty goddamn solid man, at least until they start rotting. I'd say that SUV got off easy.

No it loving isn't, something caused those cars to leave the street and enter the restaurant, and I'll bet dollars to donuts someone was doing something wrong and quite possibly illegal. You'll be happy to know that in traffic engineering we call them crashes or collisions because referring to them as "accidents" implies that they're unavoidable or unpreventable.

I learned that from Hot Fuzz! Actually, I learned it from Driver's Ed, which basically said unless someone involved had a medical episode that they were unaware of previously, and caused a collision, someone hosed up if a collision occurred. It was further reinforced when I got my pilot's license, where it was pointed out that every incident has a "cause chain" that likely could've been broken at any number of different points, which I think is a good way of looking at things too. Most of all, I think you shouldn't get to drive a car on public roads unless you recognize that cause and effect govern the universe, and there's always responsibility somewhere.

Nitrox posted:Panic mode. Was she actually looking down at the phone until the very last moment? Goddamn Yeah if you blow up the gif and watch it a few times you can see she's riding with neither hand on her handle bars and is clutching something right in front of her face until the last second. In the still frame you can see it in her left hand (right side for us) As she hits you can see it fly upward out of her left hand. I'm loathe to call it hilarious because she might be grievously injuried, even dead from that head hit, but god drat if you assume she walked away okay it is hysterical to see that phone fly away

I'm guessing a crossing guard at a school zone got mad at you and blew you up with an IED. I'm sorry about the loss of your trans am.

I don't know how you got a school out of that square, but you were right!! We'll it's a daycare anyway. They are doing some construction at the daycare and were digging with explosives and had shut down the road leading past, but not the exit i came from. So i just drove out there, heard the siren going and though "oh they're blowing something up nearby" then i noticed that the thing they were blowing up was right next to the road i was on, and weirdly there were no other cars around. Anyway, the construction worker guys fired really judging faces at me when i drove past the checkpoint. Not my fault they can't close a road properly. I didn't hear a bang at the end of the siren, i hope i didn't make them cancel the blast : (

Hey man, sometimes you're digging a trench for something that has to roll downhill and you find a bigass ledge. Do you: 1. install a shitpump that has to have an access hatch and be repairable and cost 5-6 figures 2. spend days/weeks with jackhammers and non-explosive rock breaking equipment (which costs $$$$$$$) to do it, all while the road is torn open and traffic is turbofucked 3. say gently caress it, get a blasting permit, a couple hundred bucks worth of dynamite, a blasting mat or two (BTW - they're made from steel aircraft cable and large bundles of cut up used tires) and have it done the next day? I know what my choice is, it's TIME TO PLAY WITH EXPLOSIVES AND BLOW poo poo UP! e: hydraulic tools for non-explosive concrete/rock splitting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihBwB06JYiE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6oHz-_hn5g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIlohiX86O0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNHWVW0QVag https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks40-3MNxGY e2: if you want to do it by hand, here you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBMcMGBhUVk kastein fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Mar 16, 2016 |
