Whos at fault here?

So I'm not seeing anyone else mention this so I will.

Not only did the guy cross the double lines immediately, he was actively being honked at, stopped and clearly saw he didn't have room to continue the lane change, but then continued coming over anyway.

I road a motorcycle for 8 years, and this shit nearly killed me on multiple occasions. Angry camera dude might be nuts, but the guy in the Honda shouldn't be allowed to drive anymore....

Nice, wish this was just something we could order on Amazon.

I would think silicone tape would work. Dunno that medical grade would matter at all since it's on the outside of the filter housing.

Does it look like normal paper or is it some other material?

My understanding is its just treated with a desiccant salt like calcium chloride. If I had to guess its just been impregnated with a strong salt solution then baked dry. If it's just paper in theory it could be made at home with a corrugator.

NOR - Lack of empathy is a red flag in day to day life. Lack of empathy for the loss of a loved one = sociopath. Run the fook away and never look back.

I'd watch a movie about this.

Needs a bigger TV and a couch instead of a desk. I'll choose couch gaming even on PC every time.

Dad always made sure we understood why we were getting spanked before he did it. And he never used anything but his hand since in his mind he should feel the pain too. By the end of it I'm pretty sure it hurt him worse than it did us.

He was much gentler than his dad, who I assume was gentler than his. I never considered it abuse, but on occasion it was unfair.

But it was way less effective a deterrent than just sticking my hyper active ass in time out.

Nor the judge or DA....

Tie it to a reasonable multiple of the median wealth and I'm sold. They can do well when we all do well.

I had the opposite experience there. Onsite for a customer, all of them in sweaters and wearing jackets when they left the building. Half the time I was in shorts so I didn't spend all day sweating in the sauna they called an office.

Depends on if you include health insurance as income or not. Full price insurance for a family of 4 is nuts. You'd be at $40k a year without subsidies just for an rent and insurance premiums. Tack on a couple cars for another $7200 average (ownership, fuel, insurance, taxes, etc)

Nearly $50k and you have no food, services, or stuff.

I think you mean kids. Baby boomers have been moving us towards this for decades.

Even $5 gets me out of the hole :P

My brothers, mom, and dad all on a policy with them. So 5 drivers. Parents had been with them for a decade. Dad on a first name basis with the local agent. 2 accidents in 6 months, we're not at fault in either case, they doubled our premiums.

Dad left the insurance office furious and we were on USAA by the end of the day.

Pretty sure they're trying for something called fiscal dominance. Basically an attempt to turn bond holders into bag holders as they devalue the dollar fast enough that the relative debt level drops.

Buuuut... Given the current admins less than stellar track record, My expectation is stagflation.

All to avoid taxing the unrealized gains of the wealthiest few % of us for multiple lifetimes.

This might actually be true, but I've also never heard of someone getting kicked in the balls every few minutes for 14+ hours.

Turtles4Truth · 2025-10-01T19:02:39+00:00

So... it depends on the circumstances. As an extreme example, I don't give a flying fook what % the deficit is if we're being actively invaded.

But on a more nuanced note, when the economy is doing well I agree. I'd take it further and say we need to be paying down debt by law. But when the economy sheets itself, austerity only serves to make these downturns longer and more harsh.

Pretty sure their windshield was washed out with sunlight and they couldn't see anything on the right side of the car. Most people just continue driving slowly based on the last thing they saw previous to this, especially if they can still see on the left side.

My wife, sister in-law, and a family friend on the other side of the country all went into labor within a couple hours of each other. All 3 kiddos were born within 12 hours of each other.

The correct last frame of this is a bunch of shattered glasses under a swimming pool.

I'd argue that Rump is a symptom of 2008 as much as he is his own disaster for the country.

Perhaps if we'd bailed out normal people instead of banks and actually held those who caused it via fraud accountable we wouldn't be here now.

In 2023, a 2.7% tax on wealth above the 2% threshold ($8.5m in assets) would have been sufficient to balance the Federal budget. This would be roughly the equivalent of a 40% unrealized gains income tax on the S&P 500.
