> So how can I as a pedastrian be responsible for the situational awareness of the SUV driver? The same way you're responsible for anything you do around other people. Pay attentio…

99% of Americans don't get run over by SUVs or pickup trucks either. I don't live in Montana, fwiw.

I still disagree that there's a regulatory need here. Are there not consequences for the drivers in these situations? Are pedestrians not somewhat liable for their own situational …

Similarly, I hope folks will reach out with ANY additional data around the lack of danger caused by large / heavy vehicles as opposed to any other non-commercial vehicle. I'm sorta…

_Used to_. KKK cleaning up a stretch of road in a rural area 30 years ago doesn't mean there's an inherently a racist police force, voted in by the county constituents, currently. …

The comment I was replying to cites an article about public pools and racist behaviors from 60+ years ago in entirely different communities that borders on a non-sequitur to these …

Give me a break. I spent most of my life in this county and my family's been there for two generations prior. The "everything is racist" argument so poorly applies to the issues of…

CU Boulder advertises the resulting degree as indistinguishable from their on-campus program from a records perspective (you're even invited to the graduation ceremony afaik). How …

I'm enrolled in CU Boulder's MSEE program that's administered through Coursera. It's decent, definitely not as good as in person instruction (for me at least), but is probably a go…

Perhaps enough time to drop a few in with a parachute, hit a target, then possibly "self destruct" somehow, if I'm being imaginative I suppose.

Oh, thank you. I can see that now. Perhaps that is how they meant it.

Yes, that helps, thank you. I'd read of some officials denying it, but the information around judges is new to me and I will explore it further. Who do you consider to be reputable…

You're getting down-voted without anyone else actually providing a rebuttal. But what you're saying matches, roughly, my understanding of what happened. Perhaps their issue is with…

My family and I are in the Seattle area, we're considering moving due to work going primarily remote, cost of living (childcare is becoming a significant concern for us as we start…

I'll second this person's opinion. I used to work in a small town computer shop many years ago as a sales/support "clerk". I spent all day helping people directly, many repeat cust…

At least in the US, this is why it's not uncommon for certain demonstrations to be full of people who are armed, openly. It's much less likely that the police will open fire on a c…

Yeah that's fair. One could also just make one pretty easily, it doesn't require too much knowledge to modify an existing semi-automatic.

Yes, you're correct and it's a good clarification. Thanks. The rifle in this photo is definitely purchased and would've been subject to the waiting period you mention. I was being …

Those are not automatic rifles, they're very likely all semi-automatic. Semi-automatic rifles can look the same as automatic rifles, visual appearance doesn't mean much. Automatic …

That's just a plate carrier, with no plates in it. It won't stop a bullet, definitely not a rifle round. Maybe he has some soft armor jammed in there but doubtful based on the rest…

Yeah I mean if you throw an aftermarket exhaust on them they can get pretty loud. Mine's just got the stock exhaust on it though. It's pretty tame. I'd imagine there's some overlap…

Even my F150 is quieter than these things though, and it can haul way more.

I worked at a company that had names for all the conference and meeting rooms based on various science fiction names and other "nerdy" stuff instead of some sort of building-floor-…
