No, actually it won't and didn't. You ASSUME I didn't read it, actually I did.



The article distinguishes between road rage and reckless driving. Your post does the opposite.

barfo

and your point is irrelevant to my point.

You just like to argue semantics.

You didn't address what i said MY point was.

You think im trying to separate the two.

Im saying there aren't any cops on the road to deal with either and both cause issues on the road.

Stop your bullshit man….smh…

No. It's the opposite. I think your post confused the two by using them interchangeably.

Yes, both cause issues on the road. But if you think about it even a little bit, you'll realize that cops on the road are much less able to stop one than the other.

Reckless driving, yes, cops on the road will have a decent chance of observing and stopping before an accident occurs.

Road rage is entirely different as it tends to be much shorter in duration - 'that jackass cut me off, I'll show him!' You have to have cops literally everywhere to catch that before it causes an accident.

You'd have had a decent point if you'd concentrated on reckless driving, but instead you mixed in road rage, and quoted a road rage article.

It's not semantics. I understand you want to have people say 'yeah, that's right!' without worrying too much about whether what you actually said makes sense, but this isn't where you go for that sort of affirmation.

um ive called the cops over a dudes road rage. Less cops means longer response times.
Argue semantics with someone else.

I was talking about you, not anyone else. There’s no ‘we’ about it.

Hm ok. Sure seems like you go out of your way to get butthurt when defending the anti vax crowd. Even though you are vaxxed yourself. Weird.

 

[calvin natt]

I'd like to give @jonnyboy the benefit of the doubt and think he's probably not an asshole in real life, but he indeed loves to defend assholes. I don't get it, but maybe it's a fun hobby for him.

I think for the most part people are the same in real life as they are here.

 

[calvin natt]

He wants bullets in the heads of those people too.

Execution style.

I think I'm pretty similar in real life and online. Probably less likely to call someone out on bullshit in real life though. Mainly because most of my family is very conservative, so I know how to avoid that subject in real life. I mean, who else here has hung out with @MARIS61 and @ABM and both of their wives, and had a great time?

I have been a nervous wreck, including when driving through mountains, but not in a wreck. A fender bender in Berkeley Bowl market parking lot.

Actually. 2+2 can equal 5.

2.4 rounded + 2.4 rounded is 4.
But not rounded is 4.8. Then rounded is 5.
Even math and numbers can be manipulated.

I would think you being an engineer would know this.

Using engineering, which must be alien to you, 2.4 says you are using one decimal point. This means that 2.4 is 2.4 and that 2.4 + 2.4 = 4.8. In other words you must use the first digit after the decimal point in your calculation.
Did you not learn the lesson about the difference between the physicist, the mathematician and the engineer? Engineers rule, baby.

Seriously. This tweeter about Scandinavian concerns went like it didn't happen. Just few posts after some of you said, that people with vac concerns ignore facts you show them.
That is exactly, what I ment, saying that both sides are the same. Let's just ignore this tweet, so we can throw some more shit on each other after it will be forgotten.

1. Unusual Whales is not a twitter account I follow for medical or sports information.

2. No link to an actual article.

I did look at this twitter account and I'll admit, they have some pretty cool whale gifs.

And if you want to throw shit on me for not responding how you want me to respond over a tweet with what you consider facts in it that's cool with me. Throw away!

I did do a little googling about this...

Iceland is joining its Nordic peers in halting inoculations with Moderna Inc.’s Spikevax shot on concern over side effects.

The Moderna jab, which has mostly been used in Iceland for second doses, won’t be used until more information over its safety has been collected, the chief epidemiologist said on Friday.

Sweden, Denmark and Finland have this week suspended the jabs for younger people because of the risk of heart inflammation as a potential side effect. Norway said men under 30 should consider choosing the Pfizer Inc.’s and BioNTech SE’s rival vaccine, and the other Nordic nations also recommended that as an alternative. Both vaccinations use messenger RNA technology to prompt an immune reaction.

1. It appears that the Spikevax is for 2nd doses and is not being used in the USA.

2. I firmly support them halting its use until more information over its safety has been collected.

I don't follow tweeter and I'm not gonna should the messenger, bc of its whales pics. I only had time to check if this actually happened. It is not about tweeter then, it is about fact.
I would have thought, that this kind of fact could put 2+2=4 on debate, but it made no waves.
You have your kinda clear conclusion, for me it is another warning sign. But the fact such an important information went under radar here, I believe, proofs my point, that people are the same on both sides of this story.
I am not throwing shit on dogs I like. I am just pointing, that people here got long and meaningless argument about nothing and both sides choose not no talk to much about facts, that could bring actual discussion and some peace and culture

I'm sorry but a random twitter account saying something is not a fact.

I didn't shoot the messenger because of it's whale gifs. I said I liked them.

And what clear conclusion do you think I have?

I found an actual article with actual facts and I said I supported halting the use of a vaccine not offered in the USA until more information is available. Is that not fair? Reasonable?

I don't put my head under random tweets. We both checked if it was true and appears it is. Therefore, it is a fact.
I think your "kinda" clear conclusion is there could be a problem with this exact one vacc. It's ok with me.

For me, it is a warning sign, that it is still to early to be sure about vaccines alltogether.

We have slightly different conclusion - not from the tweet or "article", but - from the fact, that some countries (really, not that stupid ones) have their concerns.

At least we talk about it without accusing each other of being moron or morderer.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Lol.
Not willing to read the article but question my post.
Typical….

The article will answer your question.


oh and the article speaks of recklessless driving aNd i spoke of road rage.
But the POINT is no traffic cops to deal with either.

But you and your semantics. Lol.

Do you realize you create much of the stupid back and forth here with your antics?


movin on now…
No need for typical Barfo bs.

It's not worth having many traffic cops.

The only reason we had so many to begin with was to raise funds via tickets. Now that's no longer profitable because people have cameras and evidence and the city pays out more in lawsuits and damages than they can recoup in fines.

It's just not worth it. I drive all over the Portland metro all the time and I don't have any more problems than I've had in the past.

Just fewer slowdowns from speed traps... And a few more spun out cars on the side of the road.

Without an article or other information, there really wasn't much to discuss.

Many national guard are already vaccinated. That's who they'd use.

Well, not really. This tweet brings some point to the discussion and you can check, if it is a fact, by yourself.
Unless you to lazy, or you to afraid to do this diabolic research stuff.
Unless for "your side" nothing is a fact or nothing is worth checking untill it goes from Jeff van Gundy.

I did check it by myself. I was the one who provided a link to an article about it.

What exactly is "my side"?

I didn't post the Jeff Van Gundy tweet. (and I'll be the first to admit I didn't research it to see if it was true so I guess that does make me lazy.)

If we tried to chase down info regarding every stupid tweet that gets posted in here we'd never have time for anything else. You shared the tweet. Feel free to back it up with legitimate data if you want people to think it's legit.

Actually, I think it was @EL PRESIDENTE that posted the tweet. @royo is just disappointed that there wasn't more of a discussion based on it.
