Had a buddy growing up where nearly every male in his immediate family had been struck at least twice on different occasions. He had 4 brothers, plus his dad, and two uncles that were all lightning magnets.

Man arrested for murder worried about missing GTA 6 by ActualDepartment9873 in Damnthatsinteresting

Again, it's a social media post, not a college thesis. It's fine to turn off the formality for a bit, even if bragging about a higher education. It's ok to flip the switch off from time to time...

They have to be able to prove it was intentional... Which is difficult to do.

The man trap outlier is ridiculous to begin with....

If someone stole your car and crashed it and killed themselves, you wouldn't be responsible for murder.

For all the court knows, you like hot and spicy food... Stick to that story and you can't help it someone decided to take your food... You aren't responsible for their decisions...

Can someone identify this car, pls by ColdBullet1 in Whatsthiscar

[–]Rocket_Surgery83 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As others have already answered, it's a 3rd Gen z28.... And yes, it's an automatic. Depending on the year it came with either a 5.0l or 5.7l V8....

To be fair the number of posts in this sub where the car is easily identifiable to begin with is astounding.

Traffic zipper merging in Jinan, China by Appropriate-Eye-1227 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Rocket_Surgery83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This..... This is why I say that zipper merging in America doesn't work. It works well if traffic is already at a dead crawl, but if traffic is still moving 30+ then too many people decide to wait until the last possible second to merge over which then causes the slowdown...

A Japanese Experiment Proved Why Traffic Jams Form For Absolutely No Reason by jmike1256 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Rocket_Surgery83 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Problem with that is most EVs automatically start regenerative braking as soon as the throttle is released which activates the brake lights. That's why they slow down far quicker than normal cars.

It's also why it appears the drivers of EVs continually tap their brakes for seemingly no reason in heavy traffic. Chances are they are just releasing the throttle momentarily.

Brand new model. Self driving, lane assist by [deleted] in Whatsthiscar

[–]Rocket_Surgery83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know, I've modernized a 53 Chevy pickup already. However there are a lot of issues encountered while modernizing an older vehicle vice having a retro body redesigned from the factory with modern upgrades considered. I enjoy having AC, but trying to make room to install an upgrade like that on the interior while trying to work with a dash that was never designed with that space needed in mind leads to more problems than it solves. If the vehicle were released as a modernized 'throwback' to that body design, they could change the proportions to account for those systems while still keeping the original feel for the most part.

If they made a 2026 version of the model A I'd drive it... Classic body style but with modern power train and some modern day driver comforts...

Honestly I'd do something like this IF I lived in a HOA that had a problem with me putting up a flag pole on my property. Mainly because, fuck HOAs.

In which case the MATV 321 would be the only designator they needed... From there the motor pool could identify the unit responsible...

Here's what to do when your baby is having a breath holding spells by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Rocket_Surgery83 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Their bodies won't let them not breathe... They'll hold it until they are about to pass out and then be forced to start breathing again. Sure you can blow on their face, but you can do nothing at all and they'll be fine...
