Ak Gara posted:Okay...I get that he was tailgating like an idiot and had to swerve out of the way of the car in front, aaaand I get that he over compensated when doing his emergency manoeuvre, but there's no secondary corrective steering. He just turns the wheel left and leaves it there? I've done this once before and I went left, right, left, right, 180 degrees and then rolling backwards looking into the eyes of the guy driving behind me. You really can't predict what your car will do when Jesus takes the wheel.

Stereotyping, but there's a good chance the tailgating rear end in a top hat in a truck swerved and then aggressively accelerated to show the other driver how great he was and hosed it up. Possibly in combination with not wearing a seatbelt and losing control.

She was given 30 days last January after her husband, the former Seattle Seahawk Jerramy Stevens, was caught drunkenly driving a U.S. Soccer team van around Manhattan Beach, with Solo apparently his belligerent passenger. As U.S. Coach Jill Ellis said at the time, Solo’s behavior “resulted in a negative impact on U.S. Soccer and her teammates,” thus justifying her suspension. quote:Then there’s her misdemeanor domestic violence charge, which stemmed from a convoluted 2014 incident in which she was accused of assaulting her sister and 17-year-old nephew. That case remains unresolved—earlier this year, a Washington appeals court rejected her request to avoid trial. Real class act there, surprised she didn't say something even stupider. Enjoy the suspension, dipshit.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Remember the 2012 Aurora Colorado shooting where a guy shot up a cinema at a screening of The Dark Knight Rises? A federal judge just ordered four people who survived the massacre to pay $700,000 to the theater. Is this one of those "need to sue due to Insurance requiring it before paying out" types of deals that exist for some inscrutable reason or is it really just a bunch of people attempting to blame the theatre for something beyond their control?

Almost definitely a lawyer convincing people that he can get them a sweet settlement, and it won't cost them a thing. I'm sure the initial thought was the theater would just pay them and not take it to court.

No doubt that if it is confirmed that the agreement was wrong, people (voters) are going to start asking awkward questions such as 'why did you make this deal with Apple?' and 'why do all your family have new iPads?'

The argument is that Ireland, as a EU member nation, did not have the authority to negotiate a tax rate for Apple lower than what the EU dictated. Whether you agree with those politics or not, this is pretty clear-cut.

I'm not saying you're wrong in general, but free trade within the Eurozone is kind of a big deal and handing out fat subsidies violates that principle. I'm not an expert on EU law but it's very plausible that Ireland could have violated their trade agreements with this deal.

But they did and now the only bs is they think they can skirt their agreements and get a one-up on the other EU countries.

You really can't predict what your car will do when Jesus takes the wheel. Yeah man, cars are totally mysterious and unpredictable. That's why NASCAR drivers can race side by side in a corner at nearly 200 miles an hour. That's why formula one drivers can take hairpins a insane speeds. That's why WRC drivers can do 80mph sideways through the woods while hitting jumps. That's why NHRA dragsters can hit like 300mph in a quarter mile. Cars: totally and completely incomprehensible mysteries. That accident was totally and completely avoidable, and 100% caused by that driver making terrible decisions followed by not knowing how to actually handle his vehicle in an emergency. The schadenfruede is that so many people drive a car every loving day without having any loving idea what to do in an emergency, while constantly patting themselves on the back for being ~good drivers~.
