Most times (at least around these parts I am) manslaughter hardly ever gets applied. They seem to treat it as an unrelated death. Jim has an “accident” and sadly Sue has passed away. Maybe if the police are feeling frisky we might get an “unsafe operation of a motor vehicle”.
They are last time I checked “prohibitively expensive” but people are dumb enough to pay $100k over 8 year financing. These things are also no better for “industrial/ag” then a truck from 30 years ago that was 4 feet less tall, had an 8 foot bed and a similar towing capacity at a fraction of the price.
These things are the crystallization of our hubris.
Driver faces hit-run homicide
The first part of the headline does a fair job of pointing out the murder.
I mean, yeah that would be accurate? I doubt the car would be nearly as damaged as the meat sack.
The issue is not so much size but height. These things are all over where I am as fleet vehicles and even the good ol’ type will comment that they can not see anything in front. Just look at the door or normal car in the background of that picture and you get an idea. These hoods are no joke 1.7 meters high for no other reason then to look mean.
Honestly you could do a lot by simply charging people the same as non car related crimes. Like if you or I got pissed/trashed/inebriated and killed a person we would get a totally different outcome if the tool used was a brick or a car.
I meant as the tone of the article, this post was about the media miss handling the homicide. I thought it was a good no punches pulled short write up, hence “what am I missing”.

I am a bit lost, the articles title is “Driver faces hit-run homicide in Marion County bike crash”. This seems to not put any blame on the cyclist. It seems much like any time a car hits and kills something, what am I missing?
I don’t know if that is the most likely scenario, I think those building on ether side would have side windows if that was the case. I think you only build walls like this if you are right up to the next building.
If i remember correctly most had a deal along the lines of they will maintain the wall exterior (paint, looking for damage ect.) as the tall building really did not have easy access to their outter wall.
I am used to seeing this sort of thing a a back yard in old cities, but not the front like this. If I was living in city this would be what I would want to rock.
I remember some of my favourite spaces in the city I lived in where narrow valleys between buildings like this. The trick for light (enough for a great garden) was to hang cheap mirrors on the top part of each side wall.
Ah too bad. I kinda want to find more like it. You could put up a facade on the street and have like a secret home. Might be a good option in some decaying citys.
Do you happen to have the original ad? I am kinda interested in how this is set up and where.
I wonder why sand makes it red out but smoke seems to make it more orange out. Do you think this will be normal weather to people soon? Like 60% chance of RED today?
So, how would a peace treaty work with a non rational actor?
Saganastic
May I ask what or whom that is?
Edit: Ah I get it now
Fair point, a referendum then. (also please fix your democracy America, its getting weird)
And yet they are still struggling to sell the 8.8 million they make a year.
