Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.


Aren't you required to set up an emergency warning triangle way before the car in cases like this though? At least that's the law in a lot of European countries.

I am not an Airsoft person, but what I can glean from the comments is: Airsoft teams have patches, like a unit patch in the army. The kid getting shot had a falling out with his team and posted a video wherein he burned his patch. The dude doing the shooting is a member of said team and apparently decided this was an appropriate response.

I've read a lot of the comments, and it totally was an appropriate response because they were at the airsoft arena. Much like how football players always have to watch their back from being tackled as soon as they get to the football field.

you are, however there's no shoulder on the far side of the roadway, and the breakdown is in the fastest(outside) lane

I don't think that would have helped, since that driver had ample time to switch lanes and instead decided to barrel into a parked car in broad daylight.

The swerve from the white SUV honestly might have made things worse from that point of view. Having a full frontal impact as opposed to putting one of your chassis rails into the fuel tank might have avoided the rupture.

But the white SUV was moving pretty loving fast, so maybe there was no avoiding it.

I think they were. It's clearer if you look at the one on the right of the image.

the second-prior response to the crash would indicate the driver wasn't looking at the road until that point

Sometimes people do dumb things. I decided not to go to a concert last week for my favorite solo artist, and I found out I made the right choice: in San Antonio, he just up and decided that he was tired of performing and drove home. All the way back to Seattle.

Didn't even finish the tour. He put up an apology on Facebook to the East Coast for not showing up, but that's it. I understood why he wanted to retire early (he's spent almost his whole adult life recording and touring and he's barely even gotten to raise his son), but I don't get just abandoning your tour in the middle of it and going home. If you're gonna commit, commit.

At least he said he's finishing the album he's working on instead of leaving that half done, but he says he's done with making music for now and is just going to run his record company and merchandise business.

Who is this? I know several touring solo artists from Seattle and I'm hoping it's not my favorite either!

quote:

The State Department said Wednesday it would begin revoking passports of registered child sex offenders and will require them to apply for a new one that carries a “unique identifier” of their status. Those applying for a passport for the first time will not be issued one without the identifier, which will be a notice printed inside the back cover of the passport book that reads: “The bearer was convicted of a sex offense against a minor, and is a covered sex offender pursuant to (U.S. law).”

Man, they really oughta just raise that bridge!

It happened again in my town a couple weeks ago. We're up to a couple a year now. Apparently no one has had the business sense to point cameras at it, though.

Sewers under the road that would be $$$$$ to fix.

They did a study to improve the RR crossings in the area and that one was actually listed as lowest priority because well, there's only been one minor injury if you don't count the insane number of bruised egos.

At some point you'd think the moving companies would get sick of replacing the boxes and dealing with insurance. I dunno, put a receiver in your trucks and put a transmitter near the bridge to scream out not to go under it.
