Mayor Dave posted:there's no such thing as a cool car I remember watching a video that was celebrating 50 years of the NTSB by having a modern Malibu utterly annihilate a 50s Bel Air in a 40MPH crash and all the comments were talking about how it was a shame such a nice car had to be destroyed lmao

exmarx posted:love that the classic american hog response to hearing things could be better, getting shown examples of things being made better, etc. is to go like "well it's not like that now, so it can't happen. what do you want me to do? take 2 buses and walk a bit? in winter???" Keep in mind one of the great conservatives thinkers of our time, erik son of erik, made a twitter post about how winded he was from a 1/2 mile walk

Both my dad and father-in-law need to have a truck for actual work things, and both of them have to go on wait lists and/or multiple dealerships to find a single truck that isn't a crew cab. Also gently caress cars, this is my favorite place to go in Austria when I'm visiting family and something like that can't exist in the US

paul_soccer12 posted:Uh factories and electricity generation have more emissions than cars there's intentional conflation between CO2 emissions and other emissions like SO2, NO2, etc. Container ships basically burn stuff slightly thinner than asphalt, and it emits a poo poo load of SO2/NO2 - but in terms of CO2, container ships aren't anywhere close to cars.

Xaris posted:i agree dogs should be allowed on buses and trains. that's a bad america-policy issue, not a functional inssue. the language most civilized countries, who are all cool with dogs anywhere, use is "under effective command" and some are fairly strict about making sure your dog is actually trained. actually it's wild how many countries like a lot in the EU and NZ are super cool with dogs, like lotto dogs on trains just chilling looking out the window, pubs filled with dogs, dogs on patios, indoor dining doggos chilling under tables, pretty much every park has people walking dogs, and hell there's a lot of cat and dog cafes. One thing Europeans suck about is spaying/neutering. Every time I go to Austria I just see dog balls everywhere.

Cugel the Clever posted:I do hope whoever came up with the idea of car crashes being "accidents" died in excruciating pain. Just one more thing that helps drivers justify going full sociopath behind the wheel and being given the benefit of the doubt when they murder someone. We call it an incident. An 'accident' indicates that no one is to blame.
