If only we could put all those asshole tow truck drivers to work....imagine if they could tow any car stopped in a moving lane.

I don't understand why we don't crack down on the amount of cars literally in existence in the city via enforcing laws already on the book, then making loading zones at the beginning and ending of EVERY SINGLE BLOCK. Then towing and impounding every motherfucker who blocks a travel lane.

Totally depends on the scenario. I posed it this way because bikes can easily clobber a pedestrian when they aren't yielding. The opposite is less likely, but then again, I've hit my share of not-looking or jaywalking pedestrians while biking.

I don't like calling it anti-car. It's the vulnerability hierarchy. Pedestriaes are most vulnerable, then bicycles/scooters/boards, then motorcycles/heavy scooters, then cars. I'd even argue that the cars category should be broken down by weight class. The laws and roads should be enforced and designed to protect the more vulnerable over the less vulnerable. It's that simple.

NORAD is too busy guiding the uncrackable F16's through busy controlled airspace since they decided not to turn on transponders. (Source: was looking for f16s on ADSB and had them off).

I don't understand how intentionally being in possession of a stolen gun doesn't automatically remove you from society for more than a hot minute. If I even fuck up my ATF paperwork I'm looking at potential fenony charges and many thousands of dollars in lawyers.

When I rowed out there the fucking control box was in the boat bay less than 5 feet off the floor. So there's half your answer.

On behalf of gun owners, even the ones I don't agree with; we don't like gun stores getting robbed either.

Then the police only have all the stop sign intersections left to ignore.

Reply to comment by GumshoeAndy in Just watched the whole street sweepers + leaf blowers thing for the first time…why can’t the city just tow cars that don’t move? by RoverTheMonster
We can't have that! What we need is more parking spo.......oh wait.
It's win-win.

If we ever want drones en mass optical/ir/radar systems will not going to be effective enough.
Either you need predefined routes or you need to know what will be in your path.

We have a network that all drones tap into that give real time on where they are fast enough for collision avoidance?
I think you're referring to standalone collision avoidance....

We're probably less than 10 years from all drones having software or avoid collisions with the ground, existing buildings, or other drone participating in whatever system they develop for this. A real time network of existing things in the air basically.

I know there's the in-sight rule. But how expensive is it to have a network of drone operators in cars on shift 24/7 in the metro area compared to literal jet fuel, a helicopter, and maintenance?
I think once one channel is bold enough the rest will never look back.
