Mister Speaker posted:Oh yeah I almost got Tiny Dinky Daffy'd (pancaked by a garbage truck) on my way home from work yesterday morning... The truck drivers for private sanitation companies are probably the #1 most absurd drivers in NYC. They're given absurd, unrealistic nightly schedules that they can only achieve if they drive like loving maniacs. If I'm on my bike and I see one coming, I just pull over until they're gone because I've seen them do the craziest poo poo many many times

One of the closest times to dying I've ever come on a bike was when a Waste Management dump truck just screamed out of a city alley right in front of me. They were totally blind doing that, but just decided there probably wasn't anyone there at 10PM.

Literally one in a million shot, looked like a Michael Bay movie. aired on dozens of local news channels who teased the video during commercial breaks Seems like you have a financial interest in car violence continuing... mastershakeman posted:There's a lot of spots in Chicago where you can park except during rush hour , when the extra lane of traffic is super needed!!!! And towing is nearly instant. I got got multiple times over the years due to this, mainly because I didn't have a stable 9-5 m-f and would sometimes forget which was a weekend vs weekday Seems like it would be easier to police a lane that you just need to clear once a day.

gladwell once proved that cops become autistic when they get escalated but more importantly that autistic people were incapable of reading or caring about emotions. he did so by having an autistic guy who was loving his mentor watch a black-and-white movie with eye-tracking headgear on. his discovery? the man would rather look at the lightswitch than the scene in a 4 hour movie where one guy was yelling at his wife.
