This is actually in Colorado Springs, where I live. (On Carefree Circle if I remember correctly.)

1 second? So the Moon is only 300,000 km away! Dolt.


1.26 technically, but the rounding shaves off 77,000 kilometers, either way it's hard to really imagine 300,000km or 377,700km. Your brain just interprets it all as "a shitload".

but does it sense when aggravated drivers behind you decide to run you down?

Ha! stupid mouse with a mind of its own... now I've lost a power point. How inconvenient. Hey siftbot, get on a bike so I can run you down.

I did?

I think that when you don't respect other people, you don't deserve to live. Whenever you put your own personal way of life in front of anyone else's you deserve to die. That's all these people are doing. They are putting their needs in front of everyone else's. So they deserved what they got.
I don't care if it's my right to have an abortion, or my right to eat a freakin cheeseburger.
Show me how doing these demonstrations are "respectful" in any way at all.
The cyclists rights end where my bumper begins. (As long as it's not in a cyclist lane of course)
>> ^WKB:

You hope it happens more. You hope it happens more!?!?! So you support murder when traffic is blocked. You are saying you think that it is OK to drive over and crush the skulls of fellow human beings because of a protest cos*qualityting you driving time. Well, as a general pacifist, I'm pretty close to supporting your murder in the interest of general welfare. You are either just some fucked up internet troll, or a truly fucked up individual that does not deserve any respect, love, or human compassion from the rest of your species.



Choose your method then sir. Your lack of respect for other people is appalling. The way you are putting your personal life (oh noes I have to get to Burger King before I get fired), in front of everyone elses...

>> ^Darkhand:

I'll assume you are talking about some of the demonstrations against some great political injustice like those around the world. There is no INJUSTICE here. This is a bunch of people who get together on a regular basis and obstruct traffic to further their own cause at the cost of others.
If there was some sort of angry angry dictator who was going to melt all the bikes in Evilburg I'd agree with you that this sort of demonstration was necessary. But there isn't any emergency; there isn't any great evil at work here, there is no sense of urgency.
There are just a bunch of people who want to have cyclists recognized on the roads. There is no reason to cause massive traffic jams or disrupt everyone elses life for this. Go to your local political office and petition. If that doesn't work? Organize (I said Organize because Mass Effect AFAIK has no actual leadership) and have peaceful demonstrations that do not disrupt other peoples lives unnecessarily.

Haha, cylists convenience you so mass murder is ok. What if this had been a demonstration on foot, like we've seen in many capital cities around the world. They block roads too so is it ok to plow them down?
Honestly, go see a Doctor because your sick.



It's Critical Mass, look it up and you'll see not only what their message is, but you won't get them confused with a VIDEO GAME either.

>> ^Darkhand:

Show me where there was room to "go around" and I'll agree with you that the guy that did this was a horrible person. My whole post was based on the fact that they were taking up the >ENTIRE ROAD<.
>> ^pho3n1x:

Yeah, no...
Critical Mass is an organized peaceful protest that occurs in over 300 cities worldwide. You can fucking go around. Disagreeing with a peaceful protest, or being annoyed with the protesters, does NOT give anyone the right to run down fellow human beings with a 2 ton vehicle, wholesale, without regard to anyone's life at all.
I don't know of any cities in the WORLD that could produce that many bikers and only have 1 major thoroughfare.



Oh, should I give you specific pause points in the video to show the many MANY intersections which were available to detour through?

>> ^Darkhand:

It was only a matter of time before something like this happened.
Some of these rally's are peaceful but I can tell you as a motorist I'd be really REALLY pissed off if I got stuck behind a bunch of cyclists blocking the road. All of these people could take up one lane, but no, they choose to take up the entire street. Who cares about people that have to get to work? The buses carrying the masses maybe to the THEIR jobs, or home to their families? No, lets prove a point by completely stopping a major form of transportation.
I'm sorry but these people deserve what they got and I hope it happens at more of these gatherings where they block whole intersections and lanes of traffic.
I support everyones freedom to transport themselves anyway they want. I believe wherever possible we should have lanes that support cyclists. But this is NOT the way to do it.

I'm all about new musical instruments, but honestly this seems just like a really big Korg Kaossilator.

someone mash this into Spartacus immediately.

I did notice that either the questions got hard enough on Day 2 & 3 that Watson hesitated, or they slowed down the speed at which Watson could 'read' the answers in relation to how fast the competition was able to.

Do not wear when attending sporting events, live theatre, etc.

On second thought...

It's not really the guns that are the issue, it's the lack of any training required to own one or discipline required to use one that is the real problem.

Jappetizing?
