I dunno, maybe Nugent did it, too. He's not exactly an original.

even countertop variants

Good thing countertops have no use in a kitchen!

Oh, so you're saying your country does something better than my country? Take your xenophobia and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine.

:D

FWIW classic rock often wasn't just about sex - it was about sex with 14-year-old girls. And often the same 14-year-old girl.

Nothing, however, can possibly top Steven Tyler of Aerosmith becoming the legal guardian of the underage girl he was fucking so he could bring her on tour with him.

Apparently, the issue with mail-in tickets specifically is that while the camera can catch the license plate number, it can't really prove who was driving the car. So whereas an in-person ticket from a cop for passing a school bus will result in points on your license, a mail-in ticket from a camera like this won't. The same problem applies to people that just don't pay the mail-in tickets - the state doesn't really know who to go after specifically.

Yeah, that's how it works. A lot of people just never pay them, though.

I'm a school bus driver and this year we finally got the automatic cameras that catch people going past our red flashers and stop signs. My camera has captured about two to three drivers per day doing this. I would have rather had the automatic machine guns but the camera is a fine second choice.

Edit: the funniest thing I've had happen with the camera so far is one person that came flying past my reds, noticed the lights and stop sign as they were passing me, slammed on their brakes and then backed up past me again while mouthing "I'm so sorry" to me. Yes, they received two tickets for this - and I had nothing to do with it as the cameras are completely automated.

I'm a school bus driver. This is also totally normal for human-driven vehicles.

The flavor, called Screamin’ Freedom, tasted like hard candies dissolved in water

This is ridiculous. Room-temperature energy drinks are supposed to taste like cough syrup.

Meanwhile Akash:

Let me tell you something about Jon. During a project at Berkeley, our group was utterly fucked because of his shitty code additions, so 2 days before the deadline we pretended that Jon had deleted our entire codebase. While Jon panicked, I substituted a version with his shit deleted and went home and got high - and told him I'd rewritten it from scratch in one night.

Edit: BTW how is it even fucking possible for one member of a team to completely delete an entire codebase, including all previous versions? Did he go to every other team member's computer and accidentally delete their working copies too? His story might make sense if it was 1981 and the whole team was sharing a single VIC-20, but he wasn't even born then.

Not to judge, but that "crowd" looks a bit, uh, frumpy.
