The Shopping Cart Theory
This is the problem with generalities: there is almost always an exception. This happened to me a while ago: The grocery store I go to can get busy and has a pretty small parking lot, so it is often full. It is also one-way only so the lanes are narrow. I was loading my groceries into my car, and another car was waiting for my spot. When I finished, I went to return the cart, but the driver of the other car rolled down the window and told me not to bother, and that she will take the cart herself.
Now, I could have ignored her and returned the cart, which according to the video would have been the "correct" thing to do, but that would have simply lengthened the time the other driver had to wait (as well as the cars behind her since they couldn't go around her), for no real benefit other than to return the cart. Instead, I pushed the cart out of the way, got into my car and left. Even though it was technically "wrong" for me to have done this, I feel it was the correct thing to do in that situation.

Cool. Wonder how accurate it is, though.
Penguin Taxi
I think the proper thing to do in this situation would be to push the penguin back into the water.

Chicago Cop Abandons Woman Being Threatened With A Gun
Not making any assumptions, just raising possibilities that goes through the mind of any cop facing such a situation. And I'm not condoning his behaviour, but I do see how the recent racial unrest would make some cops second-guess their actions, and become reluctant to respond the same way had they faced a white guy.
Also, you never shoot to wound. Shooting is lethal force.
Physics Professor loses $10k, face, to Veritasium
The professor did not lose face. He had valid questions and issues with what he saw, proposed alternative possibilities that could explain the phenomenon, and accepted the answer after further experimentation and explanation.
That is how science works. Science is not a pissing match (or at least, it shouldn't be).
Chicago Cop Abandons Woman Being Threatened With A Gun
But did he know he was on camera? Did he have a bodycam? The only reason the suspect was seen on camera holding a gun was because the cop backed away. If he had drawn his gun and fired the moment he saw the suspect holding the gun, it wouldn't have been caught on that camera because the suspect was still in the room. Then you would have a situation of only eyewitness testimony. And you would have riots.
There's never been a riot when cops shot a black man who was on camera pointing a gun at them point blank before they shot him...never.

They need better proofreading/editing.
It is Chevy BOLT, not Volt. The Volt is a plug-in hybrid with an ICE range-extender, not a pure BEV.

Huh, I guess Arnie will have to change his last name now.

It was drifting toward the centre median, then overcorrected. So either on phone, or possibly playing with the infotainment system. But definitely took his/her eyes off the road.
