Most cars have recalls, usually for benign shit. My Honda had to go in for a fuel pump. Now it needs to go in for some infotainment cable. I’m pretty sure there were a couple others, too.

5 in a year is a lot though. Even for a new model.

Yeah do I really need a searchable archive of FlyingSquid scratching his ass?

Actually. Yeah, sign me up.

I think whoever put the trees in my yard felt the same way.

Never see any acorns or pinecones. Sometimes a maple seedpod floats it’s way into my yard.

But our (silver and white) cars turn fluorescent green with tree spooge if we don’t rinse them off daily in the spring.

I actually really appreciate the rational response to this that people have had about waste fruit, the rotting, and the food chain that follows the fallen fruit.

I had wanted to plant a few fruit trees in my front yard and allow neighbors to just take fruit off of it. Lots of people walk up my 0.5mi dead-end road.

But then I remembered what every PYO farm is like…tons of rotting fruits sitting at the bottom of all of them. And any apple someone picks that isn’t 100% perfect gets tossed in the pile.

That’s a lot of maintenance. Totally doable for an individual or small group to maintain a small patch. Gets really difficult to scale up.

Lemon stealing whore.

Or that wolf and sheep come from eggs?

But farmers can give massive doses to their herds as a prophylactic, and that’s totally fine?

Exactly. They aren’t even decent gatekeepers. They just get paid and write a script, because they know if they don’t, the next NP on the next app will.

I could just go out and buy antibiotics “for animals”, too.

Same thing with heartgard. Why the fuck are the pre-portioned dog treats literally thousands of times more expensive, and gatekept by vets, than OTC horse paste?

ETA: a big part of the cause for antibiotic resistance is people not finishing a course of antibiotics…which is because they are saving them so they don’t have to jump through hoops next time they get sick. The current solution is actively a part of the problem.

Not sure if true or gaslighting.

Ok. Fine, keep your controleds.

Could I just pass a test to get my own antibiotics, steroids, and asthma inhaler without paying a few hundred bucks to a gatekeeper each time I get a sinus infection?

500 carjackings in NYC in a year? Oh the humanity.

There’s literally a million cars on the road on any given day just in lower Manhattan.

Get a sense of scale.

10k pedestrians get hit by cars and trucks in NYC every year and you’re worried about the health and safety of 500 carjackers (probably fewer, given potential for repeat offenders). What in the actual fuck?

You guys are basically describing the old Demoscene.

Do you think dynamically rendering 4k snow is something your typical FireTV stick is capable of doing?

Sure. But speeding doesn’t cause collisons nearly to the level of any of the other things.

Going slow is a great way to reduce damage once a collision has occurred. Artificially slowing down roads (by throwing up a camera and a sign and nothing more) doesn’t do shit to prevent collisions in the first place. It might slow down the road. It might make someone panic and jump on their brakes to avoid a ticket. It might get people paying closer attention to their speedometer than to the crosswalk up ahead.

Put another way, you’re referencing the second law. Second law doesn’t matter until the first law is broke. Don’t act upon an object, won’t be no actions upon another object.

I don’t disagree, but I also think speeding is the least dangerous thing that happens on the road.

Where are the cameras catching tailgaters, people who don’t signal, people cutting others off, people cruising in the left and not passing, people blatantly running stop signs, people texting or doing makeup?

These behaviors are all far more dangerous.

Speeding is a psychological problem. You can’t take a four-lane, straight, flat, state highwayswith few cross-roads, and all of a sudden it’s a 20MPH zone because there’s a high school on it (and an elevated crosswalk at that), then throw a camera on it and make a money generating machine.

I mean, you can…Rhode Island does it. At least in the poorer neighborhoods. They don’t do it in the nice neighborhoods (well, most of them…I guess Blackstone Blvd is like the one exception). But it’s not really doing anything but pissing people off.

Maybe just…don’t build the highschool on a four-lane, flat, straight state highway with few cross-roads? Ain’t nobody living in walking distance of it anyway.

Ain’t no “I” in team, brother.

All. Hands.

Look to the left of you. Now look to the right. Now grab both them dicks.

Edit: shit, I’m sitting between my dogs.

So what if my boss knows when I’m fapping. Why else would they have scheduled an “all hands”?

Could you unplug your MRI machine and put a Kil-a-Watt on it for me? I’m really curious how much they consume at idle.
