Oh right... cause THAT will always happen. Ever actually work in a union? Ever been a Brakeman? Ever watch an Engineer sleeping with his feet up on the console while riding deadhead in the 2nd locomotive who's actually supposed to be watching the rails and looking for hotbox bearings on corners?
People fuck up. Employees get complacent. They break rules. There's no track-nazi following them around checking off lists. One brakeman lining the wrong siding can cause a world of hurt. A badly set brake can feel engaged and yet slip 10 minutes later. Best efforts can still result in horrible results.... If you decided to regulate that people make mistakes and break the rules you might just have regulations that actually work. There's a saying in the railroad industry. Heavy metal always wins.
And you call him an idiot. I shake my head. Fuck, what a comment, AC.
Wasn't it the positioning of troops and bases worldwide during and post WWII that prompted the "World Police" positioning of the US? Apologies for no citation, I saw it on a documentary and can't find anything.
A person who's drinking really crappy whiskey and doesn't want to taste the methanol.
Now now... Canadian Club has it's place in the world.
CC rye and coke is the only rye it tastes good with though. Even Crown deserves to be left alone.
That they meant using drones to hunt. Had to read this one, I mean, imagine 30/06 armed drones for deer hunting!
I gotta get outta here I think I'm getting a little unglued, This Friday can't end fast enough.
All I can say to that is that I generally (as in always) try not to hit things when driving, whether it's my motorbike or car. It has nothing to do with my risk assessments based on the gear I have, and all to do with driving the way I was taught with an eye to the conditions I'm driving in.. I will never crash my car on purpose. I doubt you'll find any evidence to support your claim.
Anything distracting is going to make someone a worse driver than they already are. Removing those distractions reduces the risks. It may not make them "safe", but they'll be further on the spectrum towards safe than if they were texting and driving (mediocre is better than horrid, and horrid is better than guaranteed manslaughter). Anecdotal, but in my experience it's those idiots that think they are the best drivers and can text and call with no problems (completely oblivious to how they are drifting in their own lane). I've confronted people about drifting due to distractions.. all claim they weren't drifting in their lane! "No, I was driving fine!"
Yesterday a woman in the car in front of me was late starting when the red light turned green. I could see her with her phone doing something. I waited, and she started after a few seconds AND THEN STOPPED entirely to complete whatever the hell she was doing with some papers and her phone. I just don't get it. I see "the swerve" every day, and some times it's just crazy.
I learned a term my 1st day working for the railroad that applies here. Heavy metal always wins.
Glad I could be part of your research. After reading most of your posts here, I get it. You have a need to be right. Go ahead, you win, UID-Cali. I am bettered by you. Especially your opinion of a report you didn't read and a subject you really don't know anything about.
Come on. What are you really trying to prove here? My UID has nothing to do with this. Want my ICQ number? It's shorter than most but I'm not bragging...;-) The Canadian government published the Influenza A(H7N9):Health Portfolio Situation Report - April 19 2013 advising front line corrections, customs, and police staff to the security and personnel implications of this virus. While they classified the risk as low at this time, one cannot ignore the implications. This strain is apparently worrysome enough to advise medium level Federal staff to the risks.
What say you?
Stop trying to prove you mean anything by posting crud like that. If you have a point make it, stop trolling for some semblance of "cool" from your fellow Slashdotters and make it. It's not funny and you take away from meaningful discussion. H7N9 is something to take seriously from both a scientific and social point of view.
Not in British Columbia, Canada. Here they use the screening device to establish BAC Roadside, using our IRP (Immediate Roadside Prohibition) system. If you blow under.08 and over.05 you get a warn and a 3 day suspension. Over.08 the cop can elect to still not charge you with an impaired and impose a 30 day impoundment and a 90 day suspension, possibly followed up with a driver education program and an interlock requirement. No criminal charge, but refusing to blow has the same penalty. If they decide to charge you, you can expect a blood test to confirm the screening breathalizer. Not all the nuts & bolts in my post, but you can read it here if you want. http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/osmv/prohibitions/impaired-driving.htm
You're about as tough as your name, sweaty porn-crotch-itchy fucktard. Go sweat your obese, carb-O-scurvy droplets on someone else's Cheerios.
Sorry to be off topic and feeding the Trolls again, but AC left his shrimpy limp dick out in the front yard again...
I can't disagree with you. Since I dumped Facebook, my wife has curbed her Facebook activities to more like weekly browsing and said "Sooooo true" when she read your post. Social Engineering at it's finest.
These days I make bread starter. I like that petri dish much better.

And will make you scratch and itch more than a hooker sweats in church.
I guess in the Military you'd be a ward of the state, stockade or not... right?
In Canada I heard that Corrections is required to continue medications and treatments that was initiated prior to them beginning their sentence.
Cause I can't find my Geocities page. It seems to have disappeared and I can't find it anywhere...
But he's talking about the battery, not the appliance.

So in the past has it been more of a "I got there 1st" race to the patent office?

But the candy's so good! -- Amber
I always thought Amber was the one with the sweet, sweet candy. Huh. Mixed that up somehow.
I would love that, and why not? That's a great idea.
Good point.
But what about 9/11 ? This country can't afford to lose another brave 2,000 in this war, or any more buildings.
I've never seen a Score:0, Insightful before. Thank you for the experience. I'll use my Mod points tomorrow.
"When accidents are safer people are more willing to risk them." And trust me, as a rider I get it. I hope it doesn't happen to me.

Yup. I'm out, and so are more and more people that I know. I'm almost scared by what might replace it.....
Well played. I prefer the bra section in the Bay catalog, though.
