While we're at it, let's discuss the people that drive too slow.

10 MPH less than the speed limit: Forfeit your man card

15 MPH less than the speed limit: Driving privilege revoked

20 MPH less than the speed limit: Death penalty

Going 20 MPH under the speed limit is asking for a death penalty already.

So Henry Ruggs. He was drinking and driving. That’s a problem. He’s an idiot. But the fact that a car can get to 156 mph is a problem too. No one EVER needs to reach that speed. There needs to be something in a street legal car that doesn’t let it go over 90. That girl would be alive if he didn’t drink and drive but she would also be alive if a that car didn’t let him make that god awful decision. That family should sue that car company for as much as they can get.

That’s nonsense.  Sue the car company because the car can go fast?  Nonsense. The traffic engineers, MUTCD and legislators set speed limits. If we choose to exceed them, that is our decision.  That’s like blaming the ladder company because you ignored three points of contact and leaned out over balancing the ladder (been there, done that and have a permanent dent in my calf where I tore my muscle as a result).   We have to except responsibility for our actions and not blame the tools or the manufacturers of those tools for the result.  That sort of over regulation is what people rebel against.  And we get far too much regulation by litigation.  Your theory does not fit the strict liability model for products nor should it.  The speed a car can achieve is not an inherent defect.  Then when the car gets t boned or rear ended because it could not accelerate through an intersection or in merging traffic, we accept that limitation because at least the car could not exceed the speed limit.  That describes my underpowered Cutlass whose speedometer did not exceed 90 mph. 

Blaming or suing the car company is very much like how my 8 year old reacts to things going wrong. 

It's starting to feel like this is the biggest week of the year. Lose, and it's likely a top 5 pick, win and things might turn around and end up 5-10. Go texans.

I know you were on the fence before with Hurts, what changed your mind here?  

I am still fence sitting but he is not showing improvement with his speed to read or pocket discipline and that has me closer to jumping off the fence.  I have always expressed doubt that his speed to reading would improve and that doubt is strengthening.  I can play out this season with him.  As bad as next season’s QB prospects seem to be, I can play out next season with him too rather than trade too much for an aging QB.  I keep hoping that a game manager, with a stellar OL and quality skill players will emerge.  Spend those draft choices on D and rebuild to a top tier D, a top 5 running game and hope he can deliver a complimentary second tier passing attack with a solid TE, RB catching game.  I am disturbed by the failure to throw over the middle and inaccuracy on the left.

It sounds like he has some mental health and addiction problems.  He clearly isn't stable, he's putting his life at risk and those around him.  It's a flag. He needs some help.

Well I already agreed that point was ridiculous. Not the car companies fault. And the point wasn’t to have every car only be able to have a max speed ability of 90. It was to have something regulate to not go over a certain speed. 90 probably is too low. But 156 should never need to be reached unless on a track.

Well, its not even designed to be a daily driver. It has 2 seats. You cant drive a family. And storage space is lacking, especially if you have the convertible, where you lose the storage space behind you. All you have then is the frunk in that case.

Its 2 real purposes are leisure, or exciting entertainment in which case you should be taking it to a track.

You know whats a real death trap? The Tesla model S Plaid. With 0-60 in 1.99 seconds and 200mph capability. Its like 4 times heavier than the corvette capable of those speeds, and faster acceleration. On top of that, its dangerously under-braked, and the steering gets incredibly heavy. I have been enamoured by tesla and their cool acceleration ability. I thought this plaid was going to be awesome. But I dont even want one if given to me for free. No other aspect of the car's performance is safely equipped to keep up with its speed.

 

Funny thing about electrics, acceleration and speed are the enemies of range.  My sister drives a Bolt and cousin has an S. Amazing acceleration in his S, and he loves the self driving features.  But both are darlings of their insurers’ driver monitoring for premium breaks.  They use deceleration to build energy rather than hitting the brakes and both drive the speed limit (or less) to increase range.

I want the Lions to claim him so Campbell can go for his first win.

I’m hoping the Dolphins lose, but I don’t want the Texans to have their best game and torch the Dolphins, if that happens Flores might get fired right after the game.  Then the interim takes over, and the team rally’s around him to win a few games.  Just keeping the loss within 3-4 points could keep their draft pick top 4.

The difference is in order to shoot a gun for entertainment I need to go to a gun range or be hunting. There is a safety for when you’re carrying. You can only carry certain places.

These cars should be allowed to be on the track. I don’t know what the answer is but there needs to be some sort of safety measure when on regular roads.

I had a guy telling me at work the other day he hit 130 on the bridge here. That bridge is probably half a mile and one lane. That’s insane. 

You are naive if you think folks limit themselves to gun ranges for shooting for entertainment.  Sometimes hiking outside of season is scary for all the guns you hear going off.  They aren’t squirrel hunting.

I don't know if anyone posted this but Devante Parker is out as well.

The Dolphins do still have two games against the Jets so I don't think we are going to end up with a top-3 pick but no Parker and no Tua for today definitely hurts.

They can win both, the Fins are that bad.
