DR FRASIER KRANG posted:someone in the local blog coverage said they saw the driver sitting on the sidewalk covered in blood and when the bystander told the driver he could have killed someone the dude said "I don't give a poo poo." and got back in his car. If I said this to someone and that was their response, I'd kick them in the loving head.

There's been a few really horrific crashes in the last few days. I think it was last week - no deaths - but 2 street racers managed to gently caress up the lives of a whole family by someone rear ending the car and it flipped multiple times while at the tacoma portion of i5. The other street racer is still at large and cops are looking for them. Funny enough, we almost got hit by 2 racers while on the express lanes in the tunnel coming out like 3 weeks ago? I got it on dash cam but I couldn't get a good enough angle to catch the license plate. Scared the poo poo out of me. Wasn't like we were going to slow either. We were at like 70mph and they blew by us at about 90? 95? Another car in front of us almost overcorrected and wobbled a bunch. Here's the story https://www.king5.com/article/traff...56-a7fd6d21b5e9 silicone thrills has issued a correction as of 20:25 on Jul 17, 2023 |

Dams are definitely a land of contrasts. We're removing a bunch of pretty old dams in washington state because they basically decimated the salmon and eel populations. But you can also build dams with ladders / off cuts and stuff so the fishes can get through and do periodic regular releases to push silt down stream. Of course the way we built most of them in the US for like 60 years were all environmentally garbage in order to expand the footprint of people in the west as fast as possible. edit: lol i thought this was the biosphere thread. oh well.

The other street racer is still at large and cops are looking for them. Pretty awful weekend down the road in Portland too. We had a street takeover delay emergency vehicles trying to respond to a fatal crash, a pedestrian hit trying to cross I5, and then a drunk driver lose control and take out a bus stop and kill the poor woman just waiting to catch her bus quote:“The ambulance was significantly delayed from responding due to an illegal street takeover at North Marine Drive at the I-5 interchange that blocked all traffic,” PPB said. “The ambulance had to divert and go the long way around on North Columbia Boulevard past Kelley Point Park to approach from the west. The two SUV occupants were treated at the scene.”

heated game moment posted:Caring about gas prices is so funny to me. Oh you are going to drive across town to save 10 cents a gallon? Buddy I wouldn't cross the street. I have no idea how much it costs I just fill up once a month or whatever Yeah my dad would make a huge deal about this too. 10 cents a gallon, it's a big difference! Ok, so on a 13 gallon fill that is $1.30. Fantastic. BUT WAIT IF YOU MULTIPLY IT OUT IT ADDS UP YOURE JUST LAZY. Ok, that's 62 dollars a year, or, one fillup. And that's before considering how much gas you burn going to the good place or waiting in line at the Costco station or whatever. I'll look for the lowest price along my usual route if I can, but most of the time there isn't even a 10 cent difference anyway.

Biked to the far beach with a friend today, great time. The end of the beach near the parking lot was super full, the end where you'd arrive by cycle or walking was hella chill. And on the way back I discovered a separated cycle lane I didn't know before. 10/10, no notes except I got a sunburn or two.
