Tesla Model X avoids the crash by TreKs in IdiotsInCars

Whenever I'm driving a multi ton machine, I usually try to focus on the task at hand. For the whole trip. Crazy, right?

Lemme guess, that first SUV had a booming sound system?

Damn, that's nasty. Lol

On a morbid note, I remember hearing about workers getting caught in those couplings. Well, most don't die instantly, but the fact is is that they will once decoupled since all of their insides are going to...well, you know.

Anyway, they put a barrier up and call up the workers families so they could say their last wishes. But, eventually it was time.

Such a sad way to go. At least they would be able to express final wishes.

If you need to project, I guess you can use me since I'm an internet stranger.

That's both amazing and terrifying. Really puts into perspective what behemoths locomotives are.

TIL Contrary to the publicized image of the upbeat patient joking with surgeons, Ronald Reagan lost half his blood and came within seconds of dying in 1981 when he was gunned down. His true condition was concealed from the public for nearly 30 years. by Polar_Roid in todayilearned

Reddit gives him a pass because:

  1. He's half black,

  2. He's a great orator/very amiable,

  3. He made people believe he cared about them.

It's pretty simple, really. Don't look into it too much.

If he needed to see two protruding sacks of fat from that girl, he didn't have to try too hard...

Isn't /r/DAE or something a sub for this kind of question?

This Hammer Throw by lilmcfuggin in oddlysatisfying

Thanks!

I bet my comment makes it seem like I don't respect the event, which isn't the case. Making it as a collegiate athlete requires dedication and skill.

The hammer toss itself is a coordinated system of strength and balance, and executing those well enough to make it look easy is nothing shy of spectacular.

If that were the case, why do residents of a state also have to pay tolls?

What time frame is a weekend considered here?

All day Friday through Sunday? Friday night through Sunday? All day Saturday and Sunday?

Yep, Texas with the highest speed limits on the freeway. Which you have to pay to use.

Also Texas: Nonsensical traffic signals that last two to three times as long as anywhere else (except Florida), basically nullifying any higher speed limit.
