My parents are boomers... and my father is a habitual tailgater. I'm someone who values human life and thinks reckless driving is retarded and maladaptive. It has nothing to do with age, except I guess some young people are still caught in the fallacy that bad things can never happen to them. If you're behind me while I'm passing, you get to wait until I'm done, and if you tailgate, it's going to take longer until I'm done. Maybe someday you learn. Some people never do.

Sure but I'm not a left lane camper generally. But I have no sympathy for people who happen to be behind me when I'm passing- that's their problem, not mine, by law.

They're always waiting at the next light. That's why Google can tell you it's 30 minutes to your destination, and it legit takes you 29-31 minutes.

No one owes you anything. The person in front of you has the right of way. And tailgating is illegal and unsafe.

That's literally the correct thing to do... you have to compensate for these morons and add enough space for 2x reaction time.

The safe & proper thing for you to do in this situation is to further increase the distance between you and the car in front of you. The guy behind you gets the opposite of what he intended, and fuck him too. People who tailgate are scum.

When I'm feeling wicked, I'll do an imitation of someone who's lost, and randomly put on my left blinker and slow down. If the tailgater is the type who just does it habitually without thinking about it, that's often enough to get them to leave some distance.

Your bank probably has that number.

Wow New Haven PD scraping the bottom of the barrel it seems

It's piecemeal, some neighborhoods get it, some don't. Even in Coventry not all neighborhoods have it (although mine does.) But in my industrial zone in Manchester we've got 30+ businesses in one location hostage to Cox.

I wish these companies would look at the west end of Manchester... Still only can get cox at my business, and it's very expensive for slow cable.

Murphy isn't a gutless party guy though... He's been making noise about the Saudi while the party line has been business as usual. It's one place where I part ways with Biden.

They like him more than Lieberman but not as much as Murphy.

Do we have any evidence of this? If it was two regular people involved in this, there would be an investigation. But now ones dead and the other is the one who would investigate

Bears bbq is super casual and low stress with kids. Let one grown up sit with the kids while the other grabs the food.

Sort of hilariously bad article, although the tip about getting wood from state land is smart. But then they talk about burning it in your fireplace, which is stupid.

Yup, I used to do this when I lived in North Jersey while my future wife lived at UConn. I got so sick of every other route that I would take this one quite often. It's a nice enough drive. Hamilton Fish Newburgh–Beacon Bridge is pretty cool.

No you weren't, you were hoping to spread your plague rat propaganda. It's still as stupid as it was in 2020.

Moron right wingers distrust any religion that involves head coverings. They might as well all be one in the same to them. I doubt the persons sending these hate messages had any idea about any of the faiths they were mocking, or even which one it was. This is how reactionaries think: anyone different than me is a threat.

Plague rats gonna plague, amirite?

At least the Boy Scouts do bottle recycling drives... why should healthy young people need charity to raise money? These girls have no skills to capitalize on?

Bye Phoebe, you plague rat moron

It's stupid enough that she wanted an exemption in the first place

Dead Crested Fox Snack

I set my cruise control around 78 or so and chuckle at the morons who want to get competitive with my robot driver.

If you like the really standard ones, I think Peking House in Willimantic does a good job. It's a buffet, so you could go in and eat 30 of them for dinner if you wanted. 😁 Overall it's solid American Chinese, the price is fair, the people are nice, and it's a good selection. It's very casual which I like when I'm going to pig out.
