It's hard to come up with a clear reason why one truck carrying twenty properly filled, properly made gas cans is that much less safe than twenty trucks carrying one.
Nonetheless, regulations typically limit on how much fuel you can carry in portable containers. 90lbs of propane, for example, is the most you're allowed to carry in a passenger vehicle.
The only place in the US where you can still experience that kind of epic smog is in parts of LA, and even that has improved over the last several decades.
Funny you should mention it; LA in '93 fit your description pretty well...
In Oklahoma, I constantly had to berate the inbreds for smoking while filling up; fortunately out here in Colorado, they limit themselves by only using their cell phones in their attempts to ignite the fuel vapors...
.. because I don't want to see some 20-something communications major driving around every day with a U-Haul full of jerry cans tied down with bungee cords.
For real. Mr. The Clap, we knew we owed him a lot but I'm not sure how many of us were aware of this; you have our gratitude (and likely your masters' wrath) for bringing it to our attention.
If you think buzzwords are annoying, how about this little gem from the summary:
But the bigness...
I understand that language evolves over time... but when a simple word like "size" eludes someone, it's time that they returned to square one and tried again. In this particular instance, I'm afraid nothing short of crawling back in their mom's vagina is going to cut it.
Well, that answers that question (I was wondering how many Chinese bothered to learn Japanese; answer: apparently at least one hyper-sensitive loser or PLA shill).
As a socially-liberal vegetarian gun enthusiast who's lived and worked in literally the most liberal as well as conservative areas in the country, I have to sadly agree (and I *detest* hicks and fox news watchers (rednecks are a bit more of a mixed-bag while genuine hillbillies can be downright awesome).

Pope, I believe you're thinking of diesel...

Gas tanker trucks are already regulated, insofar as the routes they can take, neighborhoods they can drive through, etc.
Large tanks are engineered with baffles.. which, I suppose, is all well and good... as well as entirely orthogonal to the matter.

That's already illegal.
How much fuel you can or cannot carry is strictly mandated by the FMCSA/OSHA/EPA; the locals need not enter a horse in this race...
There's a variation of this in Clarke's Songs of Distant Earth.
I suspect these "bombs" were placed in brown paper bags, lit with a match and dropped on their doorsteps.

I built a high end gaming machine for it last fall
You better put that thing to use; at the rate it's depreciating, it soon won't have the horsepower to run XP...
That must've saved you quite a bit; don't they have to deliver that thing on a truck?
So you're saying you've never tried either one.
Functional analogies require logic.
Nice. :)

Personally, I think they should've stuck with the perfectly good non-word healthful. ;)
leave us
Would this be for us?
Dare I ask... what the fuck are failborkers and twatters?
If you really want to be amazed at the audio quality, try an old rotary dial phone on a landline...
Doesn't that require NLA "pulse" service?
64GB+ storage or SD card slot
I'd change that one thing to 2TB MicroSD card; in a couple years (at the most) they'll be available for beer money.

You've gotten more mileage out of the word "pap" than anyone I've ever seen; you aren't by any chance an OB/GYN?
