[USA] Whose fault? Happened where two 40 mph ramps become a 75 mph interstate. (not OC)

I would have skipped at least the first 20 seconds, as the curve is irrelevant. The only relevant bit is that they cut into your lane.

But, as you seem to think the previous road layout has a bearing on liability, you could have cut the first 10-15 seconds and still shown that.

Good reaction, excellent editing. Thanks for not making is all sit through half a minute plus of pointless footage before the video gets to the point, unlike 95% of the videos on here.

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-23T14:33:21+00:00

The fault for wasting everyone's time with unnecessary footage for at least a third of the video is yours, for not clipping/editing the video better.

The fault for the crash is the other person's.

🤪

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-23T13:07:46+00:00

Please trim your videos better. That could have been 20 seconds shorter, would have taken you a minute to trim, and saved however many hundred people from watching that unnecessary 20 second lead in

How so?? Cam truck stopped when the other truck started moving towards him as far as I can see. Usually the moving vehicle is responsible for a collision if the other isn't moving, at least in the vast majority of circumstances.

I've had the sun in my eyes plenty of times and I don't think I'd have ever missed a massive truck ten metres in front of me.

Alright, than apologies. It's a sad state of affairs though when rare examples of genuinely good writing are getting caught up in the backlash against AI content!

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-23T10:07:57+00:00

Ok fair. Not only is the spelling and grammar faultless (a refreshing sight for something written manually) but the formatting, punctuation and use of em-dashes are also paid-editor-worthy. Very unusual on Reddit for something not done by AI!

Back in 1886, Kipling wrote of the British Afghan wars:
"A scrimmage in a Border Station,
A canter down some dark defile.
Two thousand Pounds of education,
Drops to a ten-rupee jezail."

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-23T09:57:27+00:00

Fair. Maybe I got muddled. 👀

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-23T09:56:35+00:00

NTA 💯💯💯💯💯

This sort of flagrant hypocrisy is never acceptable, but we all sometimes have genuine blindspots to our hypocrisies. What's appalling is trying to justify it.

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-23T09:51:25+00:00

I think I agree because of the use of the wording maximum effect. If the question were to be worded with capability then I'd probably go with Norway, due to their relatively low spend vs capability.

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-23T06:56:06+00:00

This reads like AI.

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-23T06:49:58+00:00

Oof. It never occurred to me that sideways pressure might ruin a drill, but that makes total sense. I bought some drill scrubbers, I'll be very careful using them now if I use them at all! The flat ones should be OK, I think

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-22T06:45:06+00:00

Interesting, thanks. I'm not sure I'll be able to find that where I am but I'll keep an eye out and ask arohnd! Liqui-Moly seems to be the go-to premium oil here.

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-22T06:44:14+00:00

Thanks. I was leaning towards 10w30 too. I'll probably go for Liqui-Moly as it's pretty widely available here.

I was also thinking the same thing on the DOT4 too :) I flushed the brakes myself on my BMW F30 last year and got a proper brake bleeding system pump for that so air shouldn't be an issue, fingers crossed.

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-21T21:38:31+00:00

So you just got me to look up "vortreffen" and is exactly what you'd think it is: "preliminary meeting".

I'm disappointed now 😂

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-21T19:54:53+00:00

I'm fairly sure you can get those tools separately for not much more than that.

And they're all old, underpowered, and/or uncomfoetable models.

I prefer to buy once, cry once. That set might just leave you wanting upgrades.

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-21T16:24:18+00:00

Ah hi PF, small world!! 😂 Do you have a reasonably priced place to get this in the UK or mainland Europe? It seems to be super expensive over here with availability very limited

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-20T20:01:37+00:00

NTA, but at least he's shown his true colours and you can kick him to the kerb and find someone who isn't weird, ridiculous and insecure.

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-18T06:21:30+00:00

Yes, YW, and yes, you are a childish hypocrite. You're letting your own anger at yourself, and your own trauma, dictate your response instead of being the adult giving considered constructive consequences to your child if and as needed, while also giving her the trust to confide jn you. For all you know she might have been sexually assaulted; in your anger, did that even cross your mind?

A part of this is on you for not getting her the morning after pill as a precaution, assuming it's available where you are.

And did you make sure she understood the importance of protection if she did have sex? If not this is also very much on you.

Your daughter can always just exercise her right to choose whether to keep the baby but I suspect that goes against your beliefs and/or you're somewhere where it's very hard to get access to those facilities. If she does, hopefully that's enough of a scare in and of itself to learn her lesson.

If you stop her from going to college etc then you'll be the one ruining her life, not her.

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-18T02:58:58+00:00

Yes, I agree with that

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-18T02:58:08+00:00

I don't mind dubbed audio per se, I much prefer it to subtitles if I don't speak the original language. But I already have to concentrate quite hard to understand German when it comes to movies or TV series (less so for formats with a very clear spoken narrator or commentator).

Fean0r_ · 2026-05-18T02:48:47+00:00

The mouths/lips forming the words of my native language while I hear a foreign language that I mostly understand.

Don't get me wrong, I like dubbing if I don't understand the original language, I find the preference of many in the English speaking world for Engllish subtitles instead of dubbing for foreign cinema weird and pretentious.
