This is what happened with my family. We had a VW GTI and a Golf… when the kiddo came along the wife wanted an SUV so if we got in an accident the kid wouldn’t be automatically dead by one of these fucking monstrosities… I think I’m slowly convincing her that a car might be safe, but VW doesn’t make the Golf for USA anymore…
I feel like maybe a path forward would be a long the lines of what someone else has said. Make vehicle registration cost more depending on how big it is… but who knows…
Now to top it all off because of America’s obsession with big vehicles there is still a limited selection of small hatchbacks in the EV zone…
Saw in some article the reason for their lasers not working was they forgot to flip a physical switch on the spacecraft in preflight checkout… Yikes,…
I ranted to some friends that I doubt this was a Honda civic… Feels like a monstrosity SUV or pig-em-up truuukkk…
Still, fuck drunk drivers, especially when they get some slap on the wrist for shit like this… Doubly when it seems like running over guys on bicycles gets the least amount of punishment…
I’m not going to hold my breath hoping for prison… I won’t hold my breath for conviction either. All it takes is 1 MAGA crazy sneaking into a jury to let him off.
If he is convicted I’m sure he will get some form of home detention. It will turn into a form of convicted in writing only.
I’m a “glass is empty” type person.
I totally get the sentiment… But there are people that I can’t get anywhere else… mostly my local police, fire department, and local govt are only on xitter… Also heavily use for the national weather service, but if drumpy wins that will be going away.
The last couple days I’ve been investigating if any of those are on threads, so I can try find a way to follow them mastodon… But doubt they have their accounts enabled for the fediverse… But I’d also have to migrate my mastodon account to an instance that hasn’t de-federated threads…
