I have one on my pocket knife that goes with me almost everywhere.

The precedent is that an individual officer has no duty to protect any given individual on the basis that the collective police have a responsibility to the public as a whole that outweighs an individual. That argument doesn’t work when the entire department stood by and actively prevented any action against the shooter.

It’s such a minor thing but fuck it’s annoying.

I have never listened to the radio in my car by choice. My phone is plugged in (currently Apple CarPlay but I used Android Auto with my last phone) but for simple play controls the buttons on the dash or steering wheel are still superior.

Maps make sense but having play controls for music as physical buttons is amazing. I have both a touch screen and physical volume/next/prev and I use the physical ones all the time. I actually like the sync system in my Focus other than the fact that when you start the car it tries to “resume” the first thing it can find and blasts loud AM static 75% of the time when I start the car. The controls are good though.

I have no idea what you're arguing over, all I said was that a crosstrek isn't the car that comes to mind when you say "putting rally parts on my subaru" to anyone who actually knows what rally is. It's like saying "I got drag slicks for my Pontiac" and having someone ask "aw nice, is it an aztek?" The WRX is literally named after and intended to be a consumer version of a WRC car, a crosstrek is meant for someone that thinks they might drive into a field to go to a concert once in the whole 6 years of owning it.

No, there are plenty of other rally vehicles, but a crosstrek isn't one. You also realize that WRX stands for World Rally eXperimental. I also am not sure you know what rally racing is, I feel like you just think it's a fun word for "off-road" but there are also tarmac stages where you don't need ground clearance. The WRX is literally a road version of a rally car, the crosstrek is a CUV with ground clearance, that is literally just the point I was making. Either way rally doesn't mean off-road, it is a specific type of racing that sometimes goes off-road, but is actually on roads the vast majority of the time, just not always paved.

Yeah, it didn't make sense. "To do rally but it's not a rally vehicle" to which I was confirming that rally is a specific thing and a crosstrek isn't suited for it.

Rally is far more than just being able to go offroad. A crosstrek is fine at going offroad, but it is far from ideal for anything rally.

Whatever suits you, she's the girl of my dreams and we've been married more than 10 years now.

Why would a crosstrek need a rally suspension? It's a WRX.

I found mine at a women's college in Massachusetts. We're putting a lifted rally suspension on her Subaru today.

I’ve definitely gotten text messages at 35k feet on plenty of different occasions. Not a single issue with any systems on the plane from it.

I’ve had people ask me to write reference letters and need to decline. It was super awkward but I just couldn’t put my name to one.

As someone who has traveled across many countries all over the world. Anytime it’s illegal to say “this country is a shithole” quite often that country is a shithole.

Trying to force a switch to pure EVs before the technology is actually mature and viable is one thing, but simply cracking down on absolutely monstrous SUVs/trucks could do a lot of good to bridge the gap in the meantime. Not everyone needs a freakin MRAP to drive around a suburb. Just bringing cars back could help immensely.

That really looks like an AR-15 extractor.

Having a .22 under the Christmas tree and having unsupervised access to it are two very different things. I know plenty of people who got rifles for their younger children but keep them in a safe with their own guns until the kids are older.

It was actually never determined if he used bump stocks or not. Some of his rifles had them but not all and the consistency and firing rate isn't typical of bump firing. There is a very real possibility that he just had illegally modified machine guns. During the course of the investigation the ATF was specifically prohibited from inspecting his weapons to determine if any modifications were made and the official report never actually stated one way or another if he did in fact use the bump stocks.

Songs and albums that I’ve listened to for years have disappeared from my Apple Music subscription. I swapped completely to a paid service and never looked back until they removed things I could listen to last month.
