I'm often sharing the road with these morons on my bike with little more than a line of paint protecting me. Driving a several-thousand-pound vehicle without looking where you're going should be treated more seriously than a $600 fine.

I think it would be easier for thieves to cut through the flimsy-ass bike racks I see in a lot of places.

I don't buy this argument. It would be like arguing that wearing seatbelts is stupid because we should just make roads safer. I mean, can't we have both?

Your channel is very educational (I've certainly learned a lot), and there's almost no work more noble than education. So don't feel guilty about it for a single moment.

This is insane, even by the extremely low standards of the Rebel.

I strongly suspect the Supreme Court is no different. Democrats wring their hands over the thought of stacking the Supreme Court, whereas there would already be 12+ justices if Trump started his term with a 6-3 majority against him.

By coincidence I'm rereading this book now and it's depressing that even though it was written in 1981 it remains as relevant as ever today.

Sure, but the 1.02% that support it gave Ford envelopes stuffed with cash, so... 🤷

Same vibe: "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen J. Gould

Cory is great in this long format, it's a shame so many interviews are limited to just a few minutes.

Maximum Overdrive is a guilty pleasure of mine but you're still right. The soundtrack is one AC/DC banger after another.

I never carry change so I guess my other option is to install yet another app on my phone (why can't I pay through the website!?) Oh great, I need to register an account. And enter my credit card and hope there's no data leak. It's looking very tempting to just grab the car keys...

It can be pretty daunting for a newbie. Like, how do I pay? I go to the GRT website and it says cards or coins. Great! I'll just tap to pay with my card. But if you read the details, this actually isn't an option on the bus!

Unfortunately I bike through here all the time (well, I dismount to cross) and it is indeed a butt-clenching exercise every time.

I remember bars complaining against anti-smoking laws when they were first introduced. All the patrons of their bars were smokers! But what they failed to realize was that there's a much bigger crowd of people that were avoiding their bars specifically because of the smoke.

I found that having a helmet-mounted rear-view mirror and a bike radar helped a lot, since I'm no longer surprised by a car coming up behind me out of nowhere. Nevertheless, I totally agree that separated bike lanes are the right way.

This reminds me a bit of when the US government used to limit the export of versions of Netscape with 128-bit encryption in the mid-90s. Obviously, we all just downloaded and installed the US version of it.

Indeed, Trump himself said he would do it on multiple occasions. So where's the $10B in harm?

I have an old laptop that was really struggling under Windows 11. I'm talking about clicking to open something and then going make a coffee while waiting for it to open. I wiped the drive and installed Ubuntu and it's actually a usable machine again! It was almost miraculous.
