Back Up Cameras and Old Bitches Running People Over
AP – New requirements from the Transportation Department are intended to improve rear visibility in cars by the 2014 model year. Most carmakers would comply by installing rear-mounted video cameras and in-vehicle displays. The government estimated that video systems would add about $200 to the cost of each new vehicle.
Nearly 300 people are killed and 18,000 injured each year because of backovers, according to data kept by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Many happen in driveways and parking lots. Nearly half the deaths involve children under age 5, and the crashes also affect the elderly.The agency estimated that the requirements annually could save 95 to 112 lives and prevent more than 7,000 injuries.
What a bunch of horse shit. Doesn’t this stupid assedgovernmenthave anything better to do than to propose legislation to put backup cameras in all new cars? Let’s make it madatory to increase the price of all cars to include backup cameras. Do you really think half the technology illiterate moron drivers in this country will know how to use a backup camera? Second, they’ll be fiddling with the damn screen and probably run someone over anyway. I have no problem with back up cameras, but it should be limited to those (cough rich people cough) who choose to install one. Not everyone has money to throw around you know. And this moron government is like “nah everyone must use this, omg it’ll save lives.” Bullshit.
I have a method that can save lives and prevent injuries – how about people fucking use their own eyes to look in their mirrors and over both shoulders before actually backing up, stop being oblivious and pay the fuck attention? That will solve it all.
It’s like that 85 year old asshole bitch who ran over and killed some teacher in Bronxville, then backed up over her again to see what she hit. Then she drove away and the poor woman was stilllyingin the street and got hit by another car. Christ! See this is the problem with the judicial system. What are they going to do? Throw her in jail for her 2 remaining years until she kicks it? Sue her? For sure not! And would a backup camera doanything? Nope? The old fool would probably have to put on some reading glasses to look at it. The only proper punishment for this joker is to run her over with a car, then throw it in reverse and back up over her., preferably in a car WITH a back up camera. Enough said. If you’re too stupid to properly handle a car, pay the consequences, manslaughter-er. I’m sick of these old people getting away with everything because they pull the age card. “Oh I’m half dead, I didn’t know any better…” Not in my book, grandma – you’re getting your ass run over!
Optimum Online Can Go F Itself
It’s a huge PIECE…. I don’t even have it, and it sucks balls. Sunday night, lots of people must be on and here’s an Optonline speedtest from KF-Dedicated (sorry John):
And here’s my internet (dedicated, not affected by people using it at once)
Fuckin enjoyyyyyyyyyyy!
The Bombardier M7-A is a Piece of Shit
I swear, ride on these things and you’ll get seasick. Yes, seasick. From a train. Yeah they’re all new (well 4-5 years old), flashy and look cool unlike those other shitty 70s models with the fake stick on wood grain (seriously, wood grain? That’s another rant). I never felt anything rock back and forth so violently. How is it possible? It’s a level train on a level, solid iron track. What a topheavy piece of crap. Seriously, who builds these things anyway? They don’t take it for a little spin and say “hmm, too much rocking, let’s fix something.” Nah, they just want to shit them out as cheaply as possible so the MTA can raise my fares every 5 minutes. The old trains don’t have this problem, but these things are nuts. Half the time my coffee is sloshing all over the bro next to me. The thing is like the Sea Dragon over at Playland. I’m trying to read my book or phone screen and everything’s just shaking. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
Not to mention, I almost died this morning walking between cars 1) because these things have like 200 fewer seats than the old ones, forcing me to walk between cars and 2) it decided to sway from side to side right as I walked between cars in which there was no protect. Welp, that would have been it folks.
That’s right – part two of my 100 part series on bad engineering.
People on the Train Piss Me Off
Pet peeves about fuckin annoying people on the trains:
- Lower your fucking iPod – It’s like 8AM, I’m half asleep. If I’m across the train, I don’t want to hear your treble. It pisses me off.
- Get your fucking hands off me – The god damn subway poles: stop touching me with your filthy snot covered hand. There’s enough room for everyone to grab a different part of it, why must your hand attach to mine like a magnet. I wanted to punch this guy in the face today.
- Blow your fucking nose – You know how friggin annoying it is to hear sniffling and snorting the whole way home? Also, get away from me you sick fuck, I don’t want your virus.
- Don’t crowd me, bro – Today I wanted to murder this fucktard. I grab a window seat in a two seater. There is a three seater across from me with one person by the window. This waste of life comes over and sits right up my ass, when there is clearly a three seats across the way with a gap between the next person.
- Get off the phone – No one gives a shit and wants to hear what you have to say so shut the fuck up, you’re disturbing the quiet.
I’m sure there’s a lot more, but that’s most of them.

Remember how your phones used to suck balls in the pre-smartphone days? Remember how long it took you morons to get anything decent? I do. Then you got the Motorola Droid in Fall 2009. Pure Google experience. Phone was epic win. The phone (for its time) was amazing. Yes, it’s not the best designed and it is pretty slow and crappy now but you know what? I like it better than any Android on Verizon today. Now, you are releasing shitty phones with old versions of Android. The Droid X is a huge tablet and the HTC Incredible is ruined with SenseUI. It has no hope of getting upgraded. And why.. why WHY did the Galaxy S get released with Android 2.1
Know what I am jealous as hell over? This:
I borderline might switch over to T-Mobile because of the Nexus S, Google’s latest gem with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The thing is sleek and it’s stacked. Front camera, 1Ghz processor, 16gigs of storage, HD video, no bloatware, updates directly from Google… That’s an Android phone. Not this bullshit like the Droid Incredible, DroidX and Samsung Galaxy.
Seriously. Let’s say Google releases a new version of Android. The Nexus gets it right away. Verizon phones with bloatware will not get it for another 4-5 months because first, the manufacturer needs to modify it with its latest bloatware skin. Then Verizon gets it and has to add their shit to it. by the time the consumer gets it, Google’s halfway to the next version. And the fragmentation continues! I was so jealous when the Nexus One came out. It’s a shame Google botched that up royally. 1) Selling it from their own site was a flop and 2) should have partnered with more carriers.
So you dopey fools at Verizon:
