I'm curious to know what you think "point blank" means.

I'm familiar with both of those words. Ok also familiar with the idea of a lever-arm, and this one is too long for my sense of safety.

If it's stupid but it works, it's still stupid, and you're lucky.

RFK Junior is 71 years old. That's not your shining example of "eventually gong to get himself killed."

Yea, that's part of why I don't know for sure if they make cars the way the guy at the top of this thread is describing.

Can't speak to "required." But I know it used to be done.

I think what he wants is the front turn signal to wrap around the front, so I can see the left signal from the right quarter.

I'm not aware that this is not the case, but I don't know that I would have noticed if it was not.

I dislike the article’s focus on prices as the main consequence here. Screwworms are fucking horrifying, and they can affect humans, too.

I imagine they remember the far off year of 2021, where the threat of drowning in you own lungs was not considered sufficient reason for a great many people to give a shit.

Expensive burgers may be the lever needed to get people to pay attention.

And why should I take your word for it? I want testimonials from an array of five year olds, at least one of which is missing teeth.

Such things have to be wire guided, or autonomous. Subs have really good wire deployment systems, so it's not something out of the question, but water blocks radio signals quite effectively.
