Sounds reasonable to mix up dirt roads at a campsite. Idk why the other commenter had to be so uptight. I get the mixup in the lot if it's all paved and smooth, especially if say you make a left into the lot and the rail has a pedestrian crossing first. Shouldn't happen, but there's significant overlap in appearance of the ground. The average driver is amazingly inept, inattentive, and remorseless.

I'd be amused if your lot is the one I know of where the train pulls out of the station, makes a stop for the crosswalk, then proceeds to just one other station.

But the part of rail that's not paved between? That should always be identifiable as a train track. I can't understand when people just send it down the tracks. And yet, it still happens. Even at the station mentioned above where they pulled onto the 100mph section. Unreal.

He's admitting American systems wouldn't have been able to detect and intercept the missiles had Iran not tweeted about it? Fucking 4th grade level elitism here

I got a dollar that says he's signing off more formally to cement privatized social media as official communication channels. Remember when he got hammered for blurring the lines between POTUS and Dunald J Duck accounts?

Thanks. I could have clarified better myself. I meant "didn't turn from a rail-parallel road onto a crossing to be met by a train it couldn't reasonably detect due to bad road design"

The 4th carcinization event

The ~2010 runaway Toyota hysteria was ultimately blamed on mechanical problems less than half the time. Floor mats jamming the pedal, drivers mixing up gas/brake pedals in panic, downright lying to evade a speeding ticket, etc were cause for many cases.

Should a manufacturer be held accountable for legitimate flaws? Absolutely. Should drivers be absolved without the facts just because we don't like a company? I don't think so. But if Tesla has proof fsd was off, we'll know in a minute when they invade the driver's privacy and release driving events

If only there was a way to avoid the place where trains drive.

I checked first. They didn't make a turn into a crossing. It turned onto the tracks. Jalopnik says there's no official statement that it was actually driving under FSD(elusion) but if it was strictly under human driving (or FSD turned itself off after driving off) I guarantee Tesla will invade privacy and slander the driver by next day for the sake of court of public opinion

Is this a... 2015...ford...escape?

Anything scandalous embedded from photobucket is safe though. It was as if millions of forum users cried out in horror at once c. 2018

Wasn't the picture of 1970s Iranian women (dressed like US 1970s women) just floating around a couple months along with the attached comment stating "pictures of places before Muslim rule floating around means the US is about to bomb them" or does that just happen every year

The "10 things I hate about you" list from the Torah?

ITT: movie opinions based on movie advertisements for the circle jerk instead of seeking movie announcements or even, retroactively, awards/nominations. But I get it, you know what the next Superman is going to be so it's easy to have an opinion on it without seeing it whereas the other half of the movies are original... but risky for your use of time.

Cue complaints about rigged awards stealing from better movies without acknowledging it's a showdown between multiple original movies.

Cue complaints about popcorn pricing as if you're forced to eat popcorn and eat popcorn for every home movie

Cue complaints about gross movie theaters as if this is really about the originality of movies instead of a likely attention span issue

If that's your takeaway, sure. It's more about the 1939 invasion of Poland, the French/British declaring war the same year, the 1940 Blitz bombing of England, and 1940 Battle of France.

"America is the best! Nobody could match our manufacturing!"

Well no, you were just the only hevay industrial country that wasn't bombed in the 40s. America didn't rocket ahead through the 60s, they just helped kneecap the competition.

And for the god damn 10th time, Mexico and China didn't take the manufacturing. They didn't raid the US and deport Ford to them. Ford walked it all over very politely.

Whenever I've seen that, it's usually in response to America taking the credit for saving the war despite "barely being there". On the other hand, you could say adding the American force weighed the odds into the allies' favor, so the swift end wouldn't have happened naturally . On the other foot, America wouldn't have built up enough arsenal to have that much effect had they not waited. And on your neighbor's hand, America seemed to sit idly as they watched nazis be nazis because no no, the guy has some valid points

I had to take summer school to catch up to public high school math after my K-8 catholic school

Is this the one with the blurred out guy squatting in sand? My work TV has some genericized national weather/news lite stream and every 6 minutes, I see Israel crying about someone else launching missiles.

Yes, saves him the legal fees of drowning his contractors in court to avoid payment

Probably still owes payment on construction in NYC

Or they're just running clips of Oppenheimer for him
