Girl sped up to over 100 MPH, crashed into another vehicle and then took..UPDATE...

I feel like the emphasis of this post is wrong. The fact that she sped to 107mph for the purposes of taking a snapchat is the first emphasis. The fact that she took a snapchat while in the ambulance is... I really wonder how this meeting at snapchat HQ took place. They okay'd a filter that...

Clifton NJ cop brake checks driver then writes him tickets. Driver had a dash camera.

Speaking from experience or speculation? I'd hope that there's some accountability for cops when they do things like this. It can't hurt to drop by the PD and file a complaint as well as contest the ticket. Allowing cops to have free rein over civilians with no possible recourse really...

How many sexual partners the average person has?

Not the herp but something much worse. Herpes not so uncommon and not so deadly. http://projectaccept.org/straight-dope-herpes-statistics/

8 of your moms? It's a bit of an overreaction. The comment was innocuous and not directed albeit immature. It's like hearing a dad joke at the worst moment. Sometimes its timed so badly that the situation makes it funny.

Amazon shipping time

Shortsighted to compare modern day costco to oligopoly Costco. (See Idiocracy) You can trust a publicly traded company to always do what's best for the consumer, I'll place my trust in competition.

Amazon shipping time

Yes that is how Amazon operates now. They know exactly how long it takes to get an item to you via UPS. If you don't have prime, the delivery timeframe is larger and they will aim for the actual date that shows on the order. Nothing really wrong with it since they do show almost as soon as...

Tow procedures or rules?

Just out of curiosity, is anyone familiar with how tow truck operators are allowed to tow cars? I was just thinking about a year or two back when I had my car towed. It was a street in front of where I lived. They placed 'no parking' signs on the entire block for a timespan of about three...

What happened to Ebay?

Craigslist for popular consumer products such as cell phones, game consoles, PCs, random electronics. Ebay for harder to find items and retired enterprise IT equipment. Seriously though, if you don'd mind last gen hardware, you can score some sweet deals. $1000 aruba N access points are going...

My first dashcam footage - some a-holes on the highway

Based on the responses I've seen here for several videos, I don't think anyone here actually know what tailgating is. There's some malice intent associated with tailgating. The OP just happened to get close since the rest of traffic was moving faster but he was blocked from the right lane by a...

Vantrue R2 2K HD Car Dash Cam for $109.99 + FS @Amazon

In raw video format? Not for a while. You'll have to wait for dashcams to hit mainstream before that happens.

2017 Ford Fusion skips over potholes

Hope it uses sonar to detect potholes or something. Otherwise I see this as something that could detect false positives and seriously compromise handling since we just took the drive wheel off the road. Also depends on the length of the pothole. This only works for small pot holes. If a large...

I was anticipating this yet it still surprises me - Dashcam

Even at the risk of being T-boned? Video never actually captures the amount of acceleration or braking correctly. I've recorded emergency braking instances and it looks very timid in comparison to sitting in the car. Point is, this looks more tame than it actually was. In the video, I was...

https://sendvid.com/pzj9og64 Stuff like this makes me want to quit driving. I get the impression that the woman driving the civic was completely oblivious as to why I was honking at them as well. Crazy...

Tire damage?

Have you been consistently cornering hard to the left? Back when I tossed around my car around, the tires sometimes looked like that.

ECS NM70-I2(1.0) Intel Celeron 1037U CPU/VGA/mobo $54.99+$1.99 ship-$25 MIR @Newegg

1743 Passmark score. I think in general people are overestimating how much processing power is needed to transcode. I bet that this configuration with a bare metal ubuntu server install and proper cooling for the CPU should be able to handle a 4k stream. I run a 1045T at stock speeds with a...
