Definitely ruined my algorithm for a few days.
Now I know why Doug DeMuro spends his summers there.

I can see that, maybe more that they don’t let emotions sway their decisions when it comes to survival.

Yea it’s cold but animals don’t have emotions. Saw a video once of a mother bid grabbing the weakest chick and dropping it out of the nest in order to keep feeding the others.

The search feature isn’t perfect but there was a thread on him a few days back maybe.

I didn’t read the article you posted but it appears that he’s now been accepted in the group.

Saw an all black (or maybe bare carbon) one in my neighborhood in BR around Christmas.

Only saw it in passing in late afternoon light so didn’t get a real good look at it.
I don’t give up anything and I don’t change my diet on fridays. I don’t do any of the other things Catholics are supposed to do so why stop there?




I have this discussion with my wife every year when she wants to go to church on Christmas and/or Easter. We don’t go the other 52 Sunday’s a year, and if we do go on Christmas we can’t make fun of the people who only go once a year because they’re us.

Let those freaks form their own groups, makes them easier to target for law enforcement to round them up.

This guy gets it.


We all drive different cars. What works for him may not work for me.

Absolutely not what I argued at all, but okay.

I can technically see better/earlier when leaving a parking spot backwards. I'm in a car so if there are SUV's or trucks on either side of me, i'm going to have to get pretty far out of the spot before I can legitimately see any oncoming vehicles from either direction.


Is exactly what you posted, and I said I can see better out of my windshield than with the camera. That’s why I also added the edit about how it can be different being in a car than in a truck.

I’m agreeing with your point if you drive a car or a small SUV.

I have a newer truck with a camera and I feel more comfortable pulling forward in tight parking lots being able to see through or over cars parked next to me than trying to use my camera. Too many people rely on the camera only and it causes accidents. If you don’t, then good on you because you’re using the camera and your mirrors and your actual eyes looking behind you.


For the record, I park at the back of the parking lot at my office and pull in forward daily as no one is around me. If it’s a tight parking lot, I can get in to the spot easier backing in rather than three point turning just to pull in (they both take three points I know) and have to worry about not seeing as well backing out.

ETA To address the OP, I won’t back in and leave half my bed and my hitch across a sidewalk. I’m not 100% a dick.

I think this argument somewhat has lost its validity with how good backup cameras are now


Looking through a backup camera with a fisheye view is better than looking through your windshield with your actual eyes and being able to turn your head to see each direction?

ETA Sitting lower in a car I can somewhat get behind not being able to see around bigger vehicles. You won’t be able to see around them when pulled in either.

But you’ll never convince me that having tunnel vision looking into a camera is better than taking your time and using your mirrors and looking out the back of the car.


Walking into Walmart one afternoon, my girls and I were almost run over by a lady looking out of her camera. We were standing behind the car on her drivers side, easily visible in her door mirror (because I was watching her through it), and when she started cutting out, the nose of her car came a little too close for comfort. She never checked any of her mirrors. Look around people frick.
