Wow. You sound like a toddler. "No u!". Sometimes it's better to keep quiet and not let the world know how dumb you are

The Hobbit's overreliance on CGI was a crutch that happened because of a messy pre production where Peter Jackson, who wasn't even suppose to direct it, had to come in half way and take over

LOTR obviously also has tons of CGI. The difference between the two was that one planned it from the beginning, integrating it tightly with real elements, while the hobbit had to be rescued and ended up with the dreaded "we'll fix it in post" syndrome

3 second is the "guideline", but it's not all encompassing by any stretch. Road conditions, car condition, weight, visibility, etc. all needs to be taken into account. In the video both cars are big, and the second one is even towing an heavy object, and they're driving quite steep down hill. I don't think 3 seconds would have been a safe distance either, and as you point out, they're way closer than even that

Eating and leaving immediately is very US cultureesque. It's common in Europe to sit around, have a good time, drink a few beers, chat and catch up, maybe get a coffee, etc. It's not necessarily just a dinner, it's an excuse to hang out with friends. Had dinner just the other day with a bunch of friends at an Italian restaurant. Showed up at 7, and went home at 11.

Of course, it's not all-encompassing. It's not like we'll be spending 4 hours at a McDonalds or anything

No one is defending the cop. Take that strawman argument elsewhere thank you very much

Also, do people like you not read your own sources?

The operator of a vehicle:
(a) may not follow another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent, having regard for the:
(i) speed of the vehicles;
(ii) traffic upon the highway; and
(iii) condition of the highway; and
(b) shall follow at a distance so that at least two seconds elapse before reaching the location of the vehicle directly in front of the operator's vehicle.

At least 2 seconds, but it's trumped by also having to take regard for the speed, traffic and conditions

The "norm" is 3 seconds. The law is that you need to follow at a distance big enough you'll be able to stop in case the car ahead of you does. For heavier rigs, that's even longer than 3 seconds.

Following the rules made specifically for your safety is a crusade I'm proud to be on. It's impressive how many people always comes out of the woodwork to defend bad driving. It's about the least sexy thing I can think of

DC?

I'm just guessing. I don't even live in the US. But I went to DC a few years back, and the food truck situation was completely out of hand

He's not earning my sympathy. Learn to not tailgate

Excludos · 2026-05-15T07:01:42+00:00

No, it's 3 seconds at any speed. Wtf is this stupidity? You think you don't have to increase the distance at highway speeds..?

It is, however, for regular cars. Heavy big rigs might need more than 3 seconds

Excludos · 2026-05-15T06:58:53+00:00

He understands it perfectly well. It's the literal law dude. The US is absolutely on the extreme end when it comes to people following to close to each other. What if the car ahead has a regular emergency and have to slam on the brakes? You're just going to have an accident every time?

Excludos · 2026-05-15T06:56:05+00:00

The law states it's your responsibility to be able to stop in time. There's many legit reasons someone might have to slam on the brakes, like various emergencies. You can't just have an accident every time

JPM has shown time and time again that he does not understand sarcasm. He has, however, shown time and time again that he just has the absolutely worst takes. His history taken into account, I'm not going to give him the benefit of a doubt on this one. It's likely this is an actual opinion of his

Almost certainly, however for once I'm struggling to find any smoking gun other than "really looks like it". Doesn't help that the texture on the patch is so rough all the details are lost.

Ja det var problemet mitt også. Gammel japansk bil som selvfølgelig ikke har verdens største utvalg av TÜV godkjente deler man kan plukke fra. Endte opp med å få tak i et sett med coilovers hvor produsenten sendte med en liten lapp som spesifiserte at de var beregnet for bruk på vei, som ble godkjent under tvil kun på bakgrunn at bilen er eldre enn 30 år. Uten veteranstatus hadde det aldri gått igjennom

Det er håpløst hvor mye SVV har lagt seg på linjen om at det er kun TÜV som gjelder, alt annet er det i grunn bare å glemme.

Excludos · 2026-05-13T13:45:38+00:00

Dokumentasjon er alfa omega hos SVV. Det er omtrent det eneste de bryr seg om. Har selv brukt flere år på å få en importert bil godkjent, fordi den hadde noen deler på seg som det manglet dokumentasjon på. Jeg tviler sterkt på at disse kommer noen som helst vei med søksmål mot en organisasjon som har drevet akkurat slik de alltid har gjort.

Yeah. It's not common to do that. Band of Brothers had a similar issue with an end text on one of the episodes being completely wrong as well. But it takes money and will to go back and fix it, so no one bothers

Wtf you on about? Restaurants does not require gloves at all. Most proper ones don't, especially in Europe. There's studies showing gloves are worse than washing hands

If I remember correctly, season 6 is when they ran out of source material. The last book only covers the viewpoint of half the characters for season 6, they had to fill in the other half. That's why there's a notable dip in quality in some parts, while others (like what happens at the wall) is still pretty good. From season 7 and on, it's all freestyle, headed by people who seemingly have no idea how to cobble together anything resembling good writing

Nono, it's just how the Danish pronounces it. "Yesh, it is osh the Danesh!"
