    That's some lovely victim blaming there. You've fully put the problem on the driver instead of the people blindly walking in to an active road. Good luck in life as you no longer deserve any sort of reply from me.

    You and AC have 100% missed the point. I can and am allowed to drive 35MPH when there are pedestrians on a sidewalk. But, I can't predict that one of them will just step out in to the road without paying attention. This was my point. If they suddenly step off the sidewalk and in to the road and I hit them, then it's still my fault legally even though they are the one that caused the issue.

    There's also places where the driver is ALWAYS at fault for hitting a pedestrian or cyclist. I don't want my life messed up because some moron playing this game lost the last bit of common sense they possessed.

    Why are you describing people?

    Um, well.

    In case of a crime, it helps track down the perpetrator(s).
    If you're in a crow of people in uniform, it describes a specific person.

    It's pretty f*cking stupid to not describe a person if you're trying to explain what someone looks like.

    Have people become so thin skinned these days that we can't even make obvious physical declarations that are wholly neutral in opinion outside of an intrinsic trait?

    Which is a shame.. They had something.. They were pretty much dominating the mobile workforce solidly with all kinds of great things.. There simply wasn't any other choice at the time, maybe a Treo or something. (which, was a very meh, option but it was better than nothing).

    Then, they got lazy, let Apple and Google get a leg up on how they were doing things and now BB is nothing more than a joke and an example of how to not get complacent.

    Why would you ever buy Microsoft anything?

    and the alternative is a Sony platform that gets hacked frequently, a steam platform that's DOA and various MS Windows based PC platforms that ride on top of more MS spyware?

    Here in Portland Oregon, you could drive for years without ever hearing someone honk their horn.

    and here in Chicago, it's pretty rude to NOT honk at least 1.2s before the light goes green.

    Tabs are better--they require less typing, and mean less risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.

    and draw less chastising during video calls.

    Give full control of software development to advanced AI and witness how the people saying that current software is bloated are proven right.

    I'd lean more towards code being designed and written in such a way that the human brain would soon have no ability to understand even the simplest routines.

    I think many of you missed my point entirely. I was pointing out all the non free energy that Pro Tesla people were making a thing of. It's not going to happen. They'll have to stop and pay to fill up, just like us ICE people do. It will just be a different form of gas.

    Of course I know it'll take them longer and more stops, but that wasn't my point.

    You'll be stopping a filling stations, getting gas, etc. just like everyone else.. the only real difference will be the type of energy being pumped in.. And, if you think for one second that your per unit rates won't go up like gasoline, you're naive.
