If there's a car in front of you, and you're following at normal following distances, it might not be enough. That person will keep going decently fast, and your radar car will follow. The lead car comes to an almost instant stop

I wouldn't say he settle what I consider "securities fraud" even if that's the technical label, just like I wouldn't say someone that got a speeding ticket violated "federal interstate travel statues" by s

Oh yes, and when I paid my speeding ticket last week I proved I was smuggling drugs down the interstate.

There are countless self publishing companies, and while idk if it's still active, even Amazon had a try at this.

I was in car sales. Top performers were caught borrowing used cars for nights out, secretly loaning cars to favorite customers for long period of time, buying tradeins secretly off the books, crashing cars while basically driving recklessly

If you buy a Tesla, hopefully.its because you actually drive a decent amount. Otherwise, well, I think it's a waste. I live in a commuter town that most tech people wouldnt be caught dead in... Most people are blue collar. And there ar

I heard that very often from my old college friends. And it made me laugh considering during 2020s harsh covid, media said half the people that get it don't even have any symptoms... And then when the vaccine came around, I was apparen

That was maybe the crazies narrative on some Qanon site. I'm sure that was repeated often to make anti vaxers look insane. But for most anti vax people the narrative was "we have no idea if it's safe long term, and at the rat

That's a clever response, but sometimes you have to tell your mom she's a neurotic worrier, that you live at the end of a quiet lonely road, and live your life. Not all roads are the same. And IMO the incidence and severity of cov

When I said other side, I didn't mean the exact other side of OPs view about long covid. I meant the other complete side of the covid spectrum.. aka the anti vaxers. Maybe I wrote it poorly, technically English is my second language al

I don't see how my own personal views matter in regards to what I said. Even if I was pro vax, and had every booster under the sun, I could still just as easily post about how people on all sides of the covid spectrum have their own an

I washed my hands after the restroom. I said I never touched one of the (alcohol) squirter bottles or machines that were everywhere during covid. Other note, I have many older coworkers. I'm not really in tech, although I have a decent

Could be. Until omicron I basically never heard of anyone in my decently large social circle even getting covid. I used to joke that if you offered me $100k to go get covid, I wouldn't really know how to go get it.

It is covid vaccine related which makes it somewhat covid related. Ps, that post was more about a girl shagging a dog.. it was a short hair dog, not shaggy. Edit: not fair you putting the explanation of what a shaggy dog story was. Ha. I t

The implication was that these anecdata tales exist on both sides, especially one of just ONE singular anecdote. I wasn't implying that covid is fake or the vaccine is harmful, although I have my own reservations. The point was singula

Here's a scary thought more scary than your platitude. In 5-10 years, we might find that everyone that got the vaccine does die like everyone dies.. except they die several years earlier than average.

What's crazier is that if you run in circles of the unvaccinated, you almost think it's all in everyone's head. I mentioned earlier I work in a company where almost no one got vaccinated. We're somewhat customer facing,

He never had covid to anyone's knowledge, atleast he never took any time off for it and never showed symptoms. All we know is he was vaccinated, went to the gym, was energetic at work, and died in his sleep. I was just making a point t

I'm not implying anything. The people that want to use this anecdata for their purposes will say that it's really odd a healthy active guy dying suddenly in his sleep at 49 is very rare when he was operating regularly on Wednesday

Be VERY glad she was upfront about it. That is a decently common tactic for women over 25. My last relationship was practically begging to get her pregnant from the first 6 months. Eventually it didn't work out after 2 years. Next guy

Everyone I know lists having a large home backup power source as the #1 thing they like about electric cars besides lower cost per mile. If you leave your bubble a little you'll learn a lot. And Im only 50 miles east of your bubble.

If what people say is true and that there is a housing shortage, then yes, landlords will basically extract maximum available cash out of their local market.

Oh you got me, I didn't read the policy when signing up. Like 98% of people. Yet from a site dedicated to creating the modern web, I assume modern web practices are followed. Even 20 years ago in forums you could go through and delete

Messaging people you're in a group with, or people that have an active ad isn't really what we're talking about. Try messaging someone Facebook doesn't think you have a reason to message. It will go to a different inbox

First off, thats not really in the spirit of account deletion in my opinion. Because you're making me pinpoint myself to another person that I want it deleted. Maybe I don't want a human browsing my stuff reading it wondering why
