Following Knapp's death, the Jets announced players will wear a sticker on their helmets featuring Knapp's initials throughout the 2021 NFL season.

what’s the point of high speed rail between cities if the cities have poo poo internal public transit?

the ne corridor already exists and only NY makes it easy to get to subway lines and get elsewhere. otherwise you roll into philly 30th st and then just take taxis or Ubers so you’re not preventing any city congestion

this is indeed a problem and the technical school term for it is 'last mile connectivity'

I was gonna post the same thing but then I realized that's also true for airports. High speed rail terminals in the US would need big rental car agencies on site to be practical for business travellers.

lol here is a story from where i live, a 16 year old driver in a pickup was so enraged by seeing cyclists that he rolled coal at them and then ran four of them over: https://www.fox26houston.com/news/pickup-truck-runs-over-6-cyclists-in-waller-county-4-people-hospitalized

quote:

The driver of the pickup truck has been identified as a 16-year-old boy. According to Ferrell, the teen stayed at the scene and met with police after hitting the cyclists.

[...]

As of Saturday evening, the driver of the pickup truck had not been arrested.

if you think about it, a functional and widespread public transit system is a massive subsidy from the taxpayers to wealthy corporations who benefit and profit the most from the enhanced mobility of the worker population.

I have to jaywalk across the same little in-town street several times a day because there's a mile between the lights/crosswalks and my destination is directly across the street, but anyway, today I watched a big chemical truck nearly flatten the car in front of it right next to me, and then later an F150 road-raged into oncoming traffic so that he could get in front of the car he'd been behind. He then stopped completely and got out to yell at the driver of the car. Both of these were right before/after I crossed on foot.

On the same street a month ago two drivers demolished two telephone poles in the span of a week, in addition to the car that drove directly into my neighbor's living room. The speed limit is 35!

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

after six months of dealing with city traffic for the first time in my life, i am okay with sending every person that has ever driven on a highway with more than two lanes to the gulag to build trains and and lay rail, as hard labor penance for their actions

speed limit 65, center lane driver going between 45 and 60 because they're scared of the cruise control button, f 150 extended cab going 90 to pass them in the right lane, and a small honda civic going 65 in the left lane

every day twice a day love driving it love the highway love the fumes snd most of all love the car

hell yeah. this. lanes are just an expression of authoritarianism

for example, the right lane is often the fastest to drive on, and most reliable to pass with, whereas everyone else is stuck going 45 in the left lane. why is that? simple, elites have told you be fearful of newcomers, and have told the proles to go slow so they can go fast. i say rise up and take back the right lane.

passing on the right means reduced driver visibility and more crashes

on the other hand this means less cars so who can say if it's good or bad
