  • U.S. Pedestrian Deaths Up 77% Since 2009 & The Auto Industry Knew It Would Happen

    Jump

  • My wife is a medical coder for the ED, for more than a dozen hospitals and says the overwhelming area for vehicle fatalities she codes is intersections crossing in front of traffic. Particularly trying to make the yellow. The plural of anecdote isn't data mind you, but she's been at this for 15+ years and has a pretty good sense of it.

  • I bought these lights, they're sitting on the kitchen table waiting to be opened and put on a tree! I'm so excited!

  • Lol his reward was I retired from family tech support and gave the reins to him. He loved it at first but realized it for the curse it was within a few months.

    Hes given it back to me by refusing to call my parents back when they call asking for help. I'd ground him but he's an adult and my shenanigans don't mean much anymore 😂

  • My son and I have had this very argument. I think the top one is right as he thinks it's the bottom one. I have a coding background and he has a 3D printing background. I figure that's why we're different but I know nothing about 3D printing beyond the cool stuff I see on the Internet and things he's printed for me.

  • What's the craziest thing you've seen on public transportation?

  • Pretty sure! 🤣

  • I stared at my wife's cleavage while riding the train once. Otherwise it's all been pretty chill.

  • Why do you personally believe in your religion?

  • ... Reading comprehension is hard....

    Thank you!

    And that I agree with.

  • I lost my Dad to cancer earlier this year, for the last few months, even on his birthday, I've struggled to cry. This did the trick for me. I miss you, Dad!

  • Translation: Judge not shall you be judged

    it's better to say things in 6 words instead of 100+ (I didn't count)

    Just saying

    And I disagree with that argument. It's like saying a critique can't be a critique unless he or she can do better, which is bullshit. And the premise that being disillusioned with a group means I must think higher of myself is a step too far.

  • I like your view.

    Though I don't do church anymore, either they worship the current incarnation of the antichrist or they're lead by weak leaders who aren't willing or capable to do what it takes to be a great leader in my experience.

    We tried a few liberal / LGBTQ lead churches and I just couldn't continue to participate. My wife kept going longer than I did but she hasn't gone in a few years.

  • The Bible is pretty fallible when looking at it objectively IMO. But the nail in the coffin was contrasting what the Bible asks of us vs what Christianity does. The tyrannical cheeto is as close to the antichrist as we've seen and they're all gaga for him as an example. But I've been disillusioned since Obama's first election. The terrible and false things "the church" and soon to be former church friends said about him was next level bullshit. Yet when I highlighted that the Bible clearly says the worst relationship we have with man is our relationship with Christ landed in def ears.

  • I've read through the Bible cover to cover three times. Amplified, NIV, and New King James with a copy of Strongs.

    I'm an atheist now.

  • What is too high for a pending authorization charge for a gasoline purchase?

    Jump

  • The race track I take my car to on occasion puts a $600 hold whenever you buy gas on site. And there is a sticker I didn't see until after my bank called me asking if I was crazy buying $600 worth of gas.

    Bananas!
