Shipping Up To Boston / Enter Sandman - Goddesses of Bagpipe
Shipping up to Boston works, but Sandman was just awful, and no amount of attractive women will disguise that.
Besides, uillean pipes are way nicer

16 seconds: The Killing of Anita Kurmann
I agree with Mass Bike that the truck driver was responsible. Not sure that he should be criminally charged, that's a really big hammer to use on someone that almost certainly did not intend any harm. But he wasn't even cited, although he left the scene. He called the Boston police many hours later, from New Jersey.
That said, I would advise any cyclists to avoid ever putting themselves in the position that Dr Kurmann found herself in. It is dangerous to ride beside large vehicles with limited visibility, as we see. Also good to note that semi trucks frequently swing left to set up a right turn -- I don't believe she realized the danger she was in until the truck was close to actually passing in front of her.
The symbol in the middle lane is a "sharrow", which really indicates that the middle lane is not a bike lane. The sharrow is supposed to indicate to motorists that bicycles may be expected in the lane, and to remind cyclists that they are allowed to use it. The Boston police report gets this wrong, irresponsibly making the driving public stupider. At the time of the crash the right lane was used as a turn lane, and there was a bus stop just before the crash site, making it likely that cyclists would use the middle lane.
It's fun to say that you never trust anyone, but that can't literally be true. For example, I trust thousands of drivers standing at red lights or stop signs not to charge out and run me over. It would be almost impossible to move in traffic without relying on most drivers to do the right thing most of the time.
Sad video for sure (the music was a bit much though).
Kind of a tough call - I do think the truck driver deserves the majority of the blame and should at the minimum be charged with a hit and run - and probably more - as he did pass the cyclist and clearly did not proceed with any due caution on that turn.
With that said, as an avid cyclist myself, I trust NO ONE while riding. Looking at the video, there seems to be a bike lane symbol in the middle lane, suggesting that cyclists proceeding through the intersection should be using that lane. Now I don't think that is enforced by law, but if that is what the symbol is there for, this would be a perfect illustration as to why. Also, if you look even closer, it appears the truck had his indicator on before she pulled up beside him; i.e. she should have seen his indicator. I hate to put any blame on that poor woman and - I really hate to say this - this video only goes to show that both parties were at fault.

Meet SpotMini
Wow, Sony. Your Aibo 2 is too little too late. Or should I say that about Boston Dynamics? At any rate, I for one welcome the technology race to build a robotic stand-in for puppies worldwide.
Meet SpotMini
I'd like to see a Boston Dynamics quadruped robot with a travel mode other than "jog" or "bounce".
Meet SpotMini
I know that's not a real Boston Dynamics video, no one kicked the robot.
Coming soon, so *future
King Tut - SNL
I don't recall buying it myself, but was defiantly the first record i ever owned. My mom however had bought me a Bay City Rollers (i had no idea who they were) cassette years earlier.
(edit) now im on a tangent
The first albums i actually bought myself were Don't Look Back (Boston), Van Halen, and Best of Earth Wind and Fire. All three for under twenty bucks which i had received on my birthday.
The first album I ever bought.
Gordon Hayward's Scary Injury | Celtics vs Cavaliers (2017)
You hate Boston too, eh?
Hey, as long as any Boston sports fans see this I don't care who posts it.

Ah, but it is from NBA!
Russia is creating Terminators.
Yeah Boston Dynamics have got them worried..
That tech looks so sadly dated, I'd say this was just a video created for the publicity.
The Future of Airliners? - Aurora D8
? I can't drive across the Pacific to Hawaii...or the Atlantic to Europe...Although, for low budget buses between city pairs (East Coast NYC-Boston, Washington-Bos, Orlando-Miami? West Coast SFO-LAX-San Diego...) ---maybe?
I'm predicting that once self-driving cars are mainstream in the next 20 years the airlines will be in a lot of trouble. With a majority of self driving cars on the road, I think the safety numbers will shift to cars being the safer form of travel, and likely very few traffic jams. We may not even need traffic lights eventually as traffic learns to flow smoothly.
Your Brain On Edible Marijuana
I ate a space-cake on arrival in Amsterdam after being up all night on the flight from Boston. And did exactly what I was warned not to do, kept eating more of it because I wasn't feeling any effects. After curling up in the fetal position for 4 hours in my hotel bed feeling like I had the flu I finally felt normal after a few beers in the hotel bar. The rest of my vacation got better after that.
The littlest Narc
Ah, yes - I remember being sold some of that on the streets of Boston.
New laser zaps mosquitoes out of the air.
Do we really want automated laser weapons all over the place when the Boston Dynamics robots get fed up with the abuse and take over?
