That sucks and everything, but this seems a bit fishy...

* "State Farm decline to pay for the car's repair, as I was a few hour past the deadline for comprehensive coverage."
The way I read that suggests that it is either a brand new car that he hadn't yet purchased insurance for beyond mandated liability, or that his existing policy had just expired. Both would be kind of red-flag timings for an accident.

* "They also raised my rates and removed my safe driver discount, even though I have never been in an accident that was my fault in 8 years of driving. So that seems a bit unfair."
Getting into an accident raises your rates. Even if it wasn't your fault. This particular incident, giving him 100% of the benefit of the doubt and assuming that it was a medical condition that he had no control over, is still something that an insurer might (reasonably in my opinion) determine to be "his fault". At the very least, they would want assurances that the condition wouldn't happen again; but honestly it would probably be a safer bet (which is what insurance adjustors are all about) to drop his coverage entirely as soon as legally possible.

* And that last one doesn't just apply to the insurer... If that happened to me, even if I had never passed out before and had been driving for 8 years without issue, I'd want to be DAMN sure that it was 100% medically explained and 100% medically under control so that it wouldn't ever happen again before I got behind the wheel of ANY vehicle again.


So yeah, it seems ... fishy. On the other hand, It does seem like it would be hard to have no reflex-level reactions to plowing into fenceposts etc., as in the video. So it might be 100% legit -- but even then, all of the above still applies.

Like, PLOW, How ya like me now!?

Must have got a good deal on British snow plows.

...And that is a big part of why I'd never want to drive a motorcycle. Do everything right, get plowed into by some retard. At least when that happens in a car, I've got a seatbelt, airbags, and metal cage around me to mitigate the damage.

They all seem to forget for the first couple of big storms of the season though. Dunno if Michigan had been plowed previously with a white-out but it's close enough to me to suspect they had near-summer-driving conditions like we did for most of December...? And that gets you hoping you're not gonna need your snow tires...

We usually have a few feet of snow at least, and have had to call plowers to get our driveway plowed a few times. We usually have below zero weather on many occasions (none so far?) Alaska will become the new Seattle maybe.

In america anyway, the government provides clean water,sewers, police, fire depts, schools, safe roads. etc. Corps cant do business without highways,,or healthy consumers and workers. This guy is just a complete moron..the idea that bankers and corporations will self police or that markets self adjust has been proven wrong by history over and over. Who will plow the roads? who will build the damn roads? Who would build hoover dam? who would build sewers? Who would provide disaster relief? The lunacy of this idiots arguements are self evident.

you're not wrong that rooftop solar panels would collect more energy. but this also kills many birds with one idea/stone. since asphalt is petroleum-based, the costs for roads is constantly going up, this solves that. this solves a lot of issues with electric vehicles, and snow plowing and many others that the video addresses.

but hey, even if this idea ultimately doesn't work out. any work done on this project can be spun off into a new project that could benefit us greatly.

so I've got zero problem investing in this, even if it ultimately it doesn't pan out, because this work will ultimately benefit someone else's work.

This thing looks like the bomb for plowing a mid size drive.

Just watched it two weeks ago and I thought it was much better than the reviews gave it credit for. However, I do agree with some of the critics' comments. For example, I felt the romance was forced plus the kiss scene just felt off to me--it would have been more natural if they had just been friends in this film and they saved the romance for a sequel.

There were also some just plain weird scenes--Superman flies to his Mom's rescue but only plows down Zod while leaving his mom alone with five or six of Zod's officers...wtf?

I tried showing the movie to my 2.5 year old (she likes action movies) but the fighting and effects were a bit too realistic for her and she got too scared to watch it. Star Wars (the prequels and the Clone Wars series) are more her speed.

Somehow I don't think this technique would actually work in a real fight. In a real fight, your opponent will likely just plow into you, not stand at a convenient distance and throw conveniently timed punches.
