In Nepal, waterfalls are roads

eric3579 says...

This is the Besisahar-Chamé Road( https://goo.gl/SeMX4Q ) in the Manang District of Nepal.

When i was traveling in Nepal (over 20 yrs ago) I took a bus from Kathmandu to Pokhara on a then dirt road that had crazy cliffs and no guard rails at all. We also road on top of the bus with the luggage on the trip back to Kathmandu. It's crazy how close they had to drive to the cliffs edge. Looking at the road now, on google maps, it seems quite harmless as it's all paved.

John Oliver - Crisis Pregnancy Centers

Mordhaus says...

Right around the corner from my house, there is an abortion clinic. Every fucking day there is a ton of people standing outside protesting AND they bring a deceptive looking bus that offers free pregnancy tests, etc. I did some research and it is a mobile PRC, which is apparently what they are calling CPC's here in Texas.

It is downright annoying. I've had to call the cops out a couple of times because, between the idiot protesters and the bus taking up half the street, many times you can't even get to the I35 access road.

Happy 16th Birthday

skinnydaddy1 says...

I think your parents just did not like you....... Sorry.....

But! I also got my hardship at 14.... Also from Texas... To many miles from school and no bus service, and my first car was the one I got when my dad got a new car and I got his old 1980 chevette. No heater and no A/C... But you could not kill that car.......

newtboy said:

Funny, that's exactly how my parents felt when I asked them for a car.....
....but they helped my older brother get his hardship license at 14 in Texas, bought him a pickup truck, and replaced it with a new Toyota Supra when he turned 16. I don't think he even paid for gas until he was over 18.
I bought my own 8 year old Pontiac Lemons and paid for my own insurance and gas (and repaired it myself, no money left for mechanics), and got my license with no help at all when I turned 16....and I feel excessively lucky I was fortunate enough to be able to do it.

Close call for Korean traffic cop

entr0py says...

Good call, sounds like Chinese to me, plus that bus at the end has Chinese characters on it.

Sarzy said:

Are you sure this is Korea? The guy on the radio doesn't sound like he's speaking in Korean to me (though I don't speak it, or any other language other than English, so I could certainly be wrong).

16 seconds: The Killing of Anita Kurmann

Buttle says...

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.

Digitalfiend said:

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.

Be Deutsch! anti nationalist Rammstein spoof

NOX says...

wow, thanks for the upvotes! i was wondering how you'd like it since the clip aims at some fairly local incidents related to the so called refugee crisis. (the scene where a boy is dragged out of a bus by police in front of an angry mob actually happened)

Republican Tax Scam Is Handwritten Nonsense

bobknight33 says...

This from Trollboy Newt. thanks

Who cares - Even if they had a week to look at it.- No Dem would vote for it-- They are obstructionists.

At least Democrats had an hour to bitch ..

The AHA ( Obama Care) had to be passed to see what was in it.



To be fair. Democrats controlled most of the last 8 years and did nothing about tax reform. Shame on them. Sucks sitting at the back of the bus. --That"s what happens when you fuck Americans and heap 8 Trillion onto the debt. YOU LOOSE.

Republican will save the day , again.

Semi Truck Stops Amazingly Fast In An Emergency

eric3579 says...

Pretty sure that's no school bus, and the truck driver isn't breaking any traffic laws. So, not only would hitting the child not be murder (which is silly cuz definition of murder..) there would be no crime at all. The child however was jaywalking so...

ledpup said:

Insane truck driver should have been going slow near a school bus. He almost murdered a child.

Semi Truck Stops Amazingly Fast In An Emergency

Wynder says...

In the US, the bus puts on flashing red lights to stop traffic going both ways. Children would be instructed to cross in front of the bus while traffic was stopped. That seems a lot more safe... thanks for the articles and insight!

Zawash said:

Norwegian busses have always, since I was a kid, had warning labels "Do not cross the road before the bus has left". This is why.
