Well yeah, that's just good practice when it's safe to do so. These days I drive a subcompact, so things like not getting your ass stuck at a stop sign are important skills to have. During conditions like that, usually your problem isn't not being able to stop, it's being able to stop way too well and the next time your car stops it's probably going to stay stopped for the foreseeable future.
The day we got smacked wasn't in the middle of a snowstorm though.

Ah, fair enough. One of my later cars had snow tires, but it didn't stop us from getting t-boned on a side street. Lady just ran the stop sign. So yeah...
I'm listening to a podcast on this right now, and it's from a more right-wing perspective but even this guy is going "Well, he sort of deserved it, look at all this crap he did"
Guilt-based morality is such that it doesn't matter what you did, it's what I did. Killing is wrong, and even if for example my kid with cancer was denied treatment it's still wrong, but on the other hand, if my kid died because he was denied cancer treatment that CEO should be sleeping with one eye open.
It doesn't make it right, but in that hypothetical at least I understand and I can't say I wouldn't do the same thing. When you curse someone dig two graves, but sometimes it's worth digging that grave.

Real snow tires are the best. My first few years driving I drove a Bronco II with mud tires and I could see the blade of the reaper an inch from my throat whenever I drove. Once I threw some snow tires on that thing I never worried about driving in the winter again.
Honestly, although I have my way of doing things I can understand why other people would do things in a different way.
Around 2009 I was on Virgin Mobile here in canada, and they were actually fantastic. They were bought out by Bell Canada and immediately the prices didn't just go up, but a lot of the really nice prepaid phone plans immediately went away.
So I absolutely can relate to what you're saying. Thankfully my phone company these days is a municipal phone company and while imperfect, I'm reasonably happy with their service and even the prophets just go back to the city.

Everyone has to be very careful about saying that this or that is a war crime, because nothing is a war crime unless you are at War.
It's the same as saying if someone trained really hard and was able to run at 40 mph, and they ran down a street whose speed limit was 30 mph, you can't give them a ticket or take away their driver's license, because they weren't driving a car, they were running the laws against going faster than 30 mph are about cars not people.
An industrial site is unable to consume water without a permit, but if you were to drink water you don't need a permit because you're not an industrial site.
If you take stuff that isn't a war crime to ecological extreme, then everyone should be wearing a uniform, and not wearing a uniform is a war crime. So are we going to mandate that everyone wear uniforms corresponding to their citizenship? Probably not.
I didn't like people being forced to wear masks, I opposed it, I don't need it to the trucker convoy twice before the government threatened to seize my bank accounts, but claiming that it was a war crime just doesn't make a whole lot of sense because it had nothing to do with a war.

Turley is a great commentator. I see his articles through the rss feed on his own site, as well as on reason (though reason is mostly tds, they have one or two good writers)
I figure more or less once? You cook it on one side, then when it's good you flip it and get the other side, and you're good.
When I'm making bacon I'm usually making a lot so I have the pan set up as sort of a conveyor belt where you take the cooked bacon off one side and add an uncooked piece of bacon to the other side.

Even if you actually do get the article, academic writing is done in such an obtuse way that even if you're a subject matter expert in practice you might not be able to figure out what the hell they're talking about.
Inflation is a reality for literally everyone, so blame the governments that drive inflation.
For the most part, in most places mobile phone service prices have improved a lot since 2009.

If there's one thing the English are good at, it's discriminating against indigenous populations. It's just that they don't really have that many other indigenous populations left to discriminate against.
Just as relevant as it ever was.
The most I do to people who keep posting things I can't stand is unfollow. For woodchipper themed stuff, I'll obviously strip media. But blocking people? Weak and sad.

That's how this seems to work, you end up with all of these idiots circle jerking all over each other.
"And what does it even mean to "be good"? Does it mean being passive and not hurting anything or does it mean going on a journey to the bottom of the ocean to save your father from the belly of the whale so you can wash your penis?"
You're making my point for me. Why are the insurance companies to blame when the real problem is the incompetent government who is already getting most of the money? It's taking the money, it's spending the money, it's just not actually doing the job the money implies.
The key here is the per capita government spending is already the same or much more. Whining about NATO doesn't mean anything when the US is already taxing and spending the money. If the US spent significantly less public money on healthcare than other countries I could understand, but it's not.
Scale helps not hurts in this case. In Canada one of the big problems in healthcare is that much of the country is super remote and some of the lowest population density out there so there's a huge number of people who need a charter plane just to have a check up, and so many people are incredibly expensive to the system compared to a higher density country. Canada deals with scale by giving the money to provinces (and it's bigger than the US by land mass)
