Or: "Car runs out of gas on the highway and the driver decides to endanger everyone else instead of walking a few hundred feet to the gas station."

Hmmm. Didn't call gas station ever. Girl knows him. Knows about the wallet.

If you live in the California Bay Area, here's a little secret:

Half-way between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay is the little town of Pescadaro. Hidden in the gas station there, across the street from Duarte's Tavern, is a tiny Mexican food place. Like a counter and two tables.

Order the carne asada tacos. They're the best tacos in northern cali.

Stuff like this still happens at New York gas stations near the New York / New Jersey border (New Jersey gas stations are "full serve" and many natives are completely clueless when they are forced to pump their own gas).

If you wanna quit smoking, buy a proper vaping kit (not the sort they sell at the gas station or likely anything a tobacco company makes), cut down the nicotine level bit by bit over a month or so (but don't let it drag out too long) until you're at about 1 or 2 mg a day. Then stop.

It's pretty easy if you do it right. The vapor makes all the difference. The gum and patches don't work, you need the instant absorption you'll only get through your lungs.

If you don't want to quit smoking, don't.

Or someone kidnaps your daughter and thanks to your preparedness and special set of skills you realize you're actually Liam Neeson.
This whole guns-for-safety-schtick has been debated online a thousand times. You know what protects you from crime? Tackling the very real social issues like poverty and racism that cause crime.
You have so many guns and yet your crime rate is so shitty. Mass shootings are routine in america. Where are all the good guys with guns to stop the bad guys when you need them?
It's not working. It simply isn't, crunch numbers all you want. Just look at Canada. They have guns. Yet, they seem to live so much safer lives. Is Mexico such a dangerous place because they don't have enough guns? They got the good Heckler&Koch rifles, you know.
You want to fight fights that I say should be avoided in the first place. Fix your social issues and less people will have reasons to try breaking into your home.
Same with the terrorist. Don't just bomb them, disable their ideological rethoric, disable their methods of recruiting.
We have islamic terrorists here in germany. They either try to build bombs (requires actual know-how) or they attack with axes and knives. Something must be working in our favor here. Same can't be said for the citizens of Paris or nightclub visitors in Orlando. They got shot.
The american paranoia is a reaction to an action that can be made far more unlikely to happen. Once you are ready to tackle the issues.
You can bring a fire extinguisher every time you go to the gas station in case a fire breaks out or you can just stop smoking around the gas station.

When do we get our "Let them eat cake" moment? These guys are fucking us in the ass and laughing while they do it. You can go to prison for life if you steal $35 from a gas station, but if you're a CEO who hands out bonuses to your crooked friends, you don't get so much as a dirty look.

The French knew how to solve this problem -- one head at a time.

Nice...I hope he makes an electric version with solar panels. Many places this could be useful are lacking gas stations...and we don't really need a few million more people burning fossil fuels anyway.

One recurring thing I've often noticed with US cops is that they are really really bad at deescalating standard situations. I've been multiple times to the US and every time an encounter with a cop basically ended at him either shouting at me (I approached them to ask for the way to my hotel - slightly tipsy), telling me to step out of a vehicle with his hand on a holster (traffic stop) or the cops encircling me with an extreme force multitude and warning me to "watch out". (when I walked on foot to a gas station).

Not once have I made a positive experience with US cops when visiting the states. I have never been arrested or done any illegal activity when visiting, but still I felt as if the cops do not know how to assess a situation and always approach it from a worst case scenario. Perhaps out of a fearful state of mind, I do not know - but in any case - escalating a standard situation to the brink is what they seem to be really good at.

I had to stop watching -- too much real horror here. That gas station scene. I was done.

Here is one thing that these vids have taught me -- to stay way the hell back from folks driving like assholes. I always have but now I have doubled the distance I keep.

I wonder if he's played Fallout 4. My gas station house fort is bumpin'.

Gas station/automotive esthetics are hideous to me, but I always drive by old commercial buildings and think of neat ways to turn them into residential ones. Props for actually doing it.
