L0cke17 posted:Speaking of horrible motorcycle accidents, its not always the motorcyclists fault. We're just apparently invisible. I stopped for a school bus that was unloading (and had kids literally in the street crossing it) when a lady rear-ended me going ~30 miles per hour. I went up onto her hood and my head smashed a big hole through her windshield. Then when the cops showed up she started screaming at them. Turns out she had a fake license, fake insurance, stolen plates, and my insurance wouldn't cover it because the police mis-filed the report. So -1 motorcycle. Also I got super lucky to not snap my spine, because I had a license plate in my backpack for my other bike that I was coming back from the tax office with that took the brunt of the blow to my lower back from her hood. So yea, that's pretty much 'lawyer up' time to sue your own insurance.

I'm assuming that by "misfiled" he means the police never actually filed a report so he doesn't have any sort of documentation on their end. Otherwise I have no idea why insurance wouldn't pay for it unless you only had liability and no uninsured driver or something.

The Birbiglia bit is a fascinating spin on this, because they had a police report on file, but the report said that he'd hit himself with his own car. It's a pretty fascinating listen. He even brings up the report itself, which you can find a decent enough shot of on GIS.

Theres an important distinction a rider must make in the course of everyday travel. A motorcyclists best ally is the quickness and maneuverability a bike affords when it comes to escaping a dangerous situation. It is in my experience a perfect excuse to split lanes and thread needles in full traffic. The distinction is knowing the difference between a race with a car and a fight with a car. One, the motorcycle will always win. The other, the motorcycle will always lose.

I'd say a ton of people have been killed by them, but that's just because we've been around for a super long time. Like I'd assume more humans have been killed by walruses over the whole of modern human's history than have died in plane crashes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_deaths a few highlights wikipedia posted:455 BC: Aeschylus, the great Athenian author of tragedies. Valerius Maximus wrote that he was killed by a tortoise dropped by an eagle that had mistaken his bald head for a rock suitable for shattering the shell of the reptile. Pliny, in his Naturalis Historiæ, adds that Aeschylus had been staying outdoors to avert a prophecy that he would be killed by a falling object. wikipedia posted:206 BC: One ancient account of the death of Chrysippus, the 3rd century BC Greek Stoic philosopher, tells that he died of laughter after he saw a donkey eating his figs; he told a slave to give the donkey neat wine to drink to wash them down with, and then, "...having laughed too much, he died" (Diogenes Laertius 7.185).[20] wikipedia posted:1346: John of Bohemia, after being blind for 10 years, died in the Battle of Crecy when he tied his army's horse reins to his own and charged. He was slaughtered in the ensuing fight.[30] wikipedia posted:1854: William Snyder, a 13 year old, died when a circus clown swung him around by his heels.[45] wikipedia posted:1982: David Grundman was killed near Lake Pleasant, Arizona, U.S., while shooting at cacti with his shotgun. After he fired several shots at a 26 ft (8 m) tall Saguaro Cactus from extremely close range, a 4 ft (1.2 m) limb of the cactus detached and fell on him, crushing him.[79][80][81] wikipedia posted:1993: Garry Hoy, a 38-year-old lawyer in Toronto, Canada, fell to his death on 9 July 1993 after he threw himself against a window on the 24th floor of the Toronto-Dominion Centre in an attempt to prove to a group of visitors that the glass was "unbreakable", a demonstration he had done many times before. The glass did not break, but popped out of the window frame, and Hoy fell to his death.[86][87] wikipedia posted:2007: Humberto Hernandez, a 24-year-old Oakland, California, resident, was killed after being struck in the face by an airborne fire hydrant while walking. A passing car had struck the fire hydrant and the water pressure shot the hydrant at Hernandez with enough force to kill him.[100][101][102]

The guy shooting the cactus and getting killed by it is especially funny, because those are a protected species in Arizona. Live by the sword, die by the cactus

There's tons of mundane objects and causes more likely to kill you than encountering a shark in the ocean. Such as autoerotic asphyxiation!

I can't decide if it's okay to find this schadenfreudey or not.  On one hand, the idea of an obese youtuber not being able to play a Pokemon game because it requires walking is funny. On the other hand, finding it funny is basically making fun of a dude for being fat, which triggers my internal "Stop it, what is wrong with you?" switch.

When did "fat" become something that was some sort of protected status? If he has a REASON to be fat (i.e. actual glandular problems or something) then yea, that sucks. If not though, loving  at the fat guy for being fat.

I was super excited when the Boktai games came out because how cool was it that they were games that made you stronger in the sunlight! Except that the GBA screen was poo poo and under the sun you could see loving nothing. Also it was too sunny here rendering the game almost unplayable because all your weapons would overheat.

It's absolutely insane, and his delivery of the story is what made him my favorite comedian of all time. On a not-entirely-unrelated note, Mike Birbiglia's Sleepwalk with Me (the album, not the movie) is a goddamn magnum opus. If you like story-telling stand-up, you absolutely have to listen to that album. The way he tells this over-arching tale about his sleep disorder, and weaves in all the bits about his family and personal life, and his struggles breaking into comedy, is absolutely magnificent. Especially impressive is how he manages to include so many touching and genuine stories and moments without turning the entire thing into schmaltz. It's seriously one of the greatest single works of stand-up comedy I have ever heard.

Otherwise I have no idea why insurance wouldn't pay for it unless you only had liability and no uninsured driver or something. The police report was riddled with errors, such as the time and date the incident occurred. And the wrong address. The insurance company said I needed an affidavit from the responding officer to corroborate my story since the report was so wrong, but the officer didn't care and wouldn't return my calls. That particular motorcycle was only a few hundred bucks, so rather than start a lawsuit which would probably cost more than the bike, the lawyer I talked to suggested just dropping it entirely and going to a new insurance company. I lived happily ever after with my new motorcycle, until 6 months later it was backed over in my driveway and totaled with not so much as a note. The new insurance company was great and paid out in less than a week.

The dude was doing fad/lose-weight-quick diets (liquid diets/juicing come to mind) that even youtube commenters were warning him wasn't good for him (which would inevitably lead into a why-haven't-I-lost-weight video down the line). It didn't help that he had more than a few "  I was at a wedding, I couldn't not eat a ton of cake! " videos.It's why I've always had a is-this-schadenfreude-or-not thing with him. Man, I want to root for you.
