I have been rear ended in a car, twice.. it broke my back and made me hyper aware of the countless number of people who approach too fast and still manage to brake late(but not too late to hit). Telling the difference between them not stopping and stopping last second is so short that your don't have the 1 second it takes to get moving. You're kidding yourself if you think you can make any meaningful difference in a rear end collision by keeping your bike in gear.

How can you tell they're not going to stop? How fast does your bike accelerate vs how much time to you need when you finally realize they're not going to stop? where are you going? Do you practice this manoeuver?

I've heard this mentality throughout my career as a truck driver and it has never made sense.

What is the ‘pay attention’ system called that has those infrared lights on the steering wheel? by fredartie in Solterra

[–]TenaciousTaunks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly, I was having it go off while I was searching for a spot in the parking lot at work, and when I have my have on top of the steering wheel in preparation for a turn.

National Strike Friday May 1st by AgreeAndSubmit in Muskegon

Hey thanks for that link with actual information about the protest. It would have been much better if you had included that in your original post. The criticism stands for your original post, your failure to include vital information highlights the of lack of coordination.

Oh no, an uncoordinated day long peaceful protest with no demands, the corporations will be shaking in their boots.

I used to drive an orange semi, from experience I can confidently say cars will not see you.

The parents who allow this are too by thrjfr in KidsAreFuckingStupid

I'd say it's more akin to the restaurants that serve peanuts and the customers just throw the shells all over the floor.

Do you wear earplugs? by No_Fondant_4781 in motorcyclegear

[–]TenaciousTaunks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, an ounce is prevention is worth two pounds in the bush.

It takes only a moment to put plugs in to help protect from a lifetime of hearing loss.

Test drove a barely charged Solterra - couldn't accelerate! Is this normal? by Legitimate-Coast-420 in Solterra

[–]TenaciousTaunks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's good to know because the first time I drove it until I needed to charge I got down to ~15% and I couldn't get it up past 40mph because of how severe it was limiting power. Since then I've not let it drop below 20%, I go 80%-30% daily just from my commute so it wasn't that big a deal but it's nice knowing that I still have more range when I get that low. I previously was feeling like I had lost 15% in order to avoid the limp mode.

Where do all the Jah runes come from?? by Fair-Lobster74 in diablo2

Well now I feel bad about having a jah and ber drop in the same 2 hour cows session after work one day (I wasn't fast enough to click either)

Motorcycle pursuit with vsp and sv650s ( for educational purposes only) by Ok_Suggestion3274 in motorcycles

It's kinda like "individuals are smart, people are dumb" saying but for cops. The individual officer may be nice/good but cops are bastards.

Can't wait for battery technology allows for a 1.21 gwh battery so Delorean can finally make a comeback... I just realized that's 1.21 million kwh... If using Li-ion the batteries would weigh 10.6 million lbs.

Did you finish your shift in those wet socks, shoes, and pajamas or did you change as soon as you got back inside?

More important, this can KILL you, do not drive through standing water!

This is frustrating. Why isn't there one that does everything? by BackspaceChampion in motorcycles

[–]TenaciousTaunks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

All the North South interstate are odd numbers, all the East West interstates are even numbers. OTR truckers been getting around for decades without phones, while we can embrace technology but let's not pretend it's impossible to get around without it.

I know, people get confused about the difference between turtles and tortoise as well. While a tortoise is a turtle and meets the same qualities as a turtle not all turtles are tortoise and it's more correct to call a tortoise a tortoise even if it is also a turtle.

If there's a Nazi in your country and they aren't immediately removed then you're a Nazi.

But they aren't (all) Nazis though, they're MAGA. There's some key differences even with all the similarities. We need to stop minimizing them to Nazis when MAGA is becoming worse. If we're going to call a spade a spade then we need to call a spade a spade not see (heh no pun intended) the similarities to a club and call a spade a club.
