And it will crash because it handles like a boat

They're as ballsy as impersonating LE.

Most commonly you hear people just aren't good about locking their cab or some other carelessness. Go in for a shower and come out to no trailer.

Quick reminder that YouTube was created when members of the PayPal Mafia couldn't find a video of Janet Jackson's half time nip slip anywhere online.

Paypal Mafia all love their LOTR names. Look into the project names and its littered with references.

Lima Peru has almost double the population of Rio

I don't think people realize the humanitarian crisis that's going to occur if the desalination plant attacks spiral any further. It'll consume not just Iran but the entire region.

I've worked in the industry, not on a truck. The places people get their cargo stolen are on their own lots or at truck stops.

No one is ambushing tractor trailers by force. The trailers with valuable cargo take known routes and don't make stops in unsecured locations.

And let's say the near impossible happens and you are in an armed ambush. What is the AK in your sleeper going to do for you? They pulled your airline, and theres a guy at your window with a gun that's a lot closer than yours.

If you think that AK is the right tool for the job, you're probably gonna fall for the scams they run at truck stops, and you'll have your cargo stolen that way.

Probably my favorite car chase scenes in any movie.

Pioneers take the arrows

Settlers take the land

Reading the Malazan Books

Five books in you're back where you began.

I've eaten their meatball sandwiches which if you know anything about sub shops, that sauce is probably a 3 year old master stock of frozen meatballs reheated every day.

Pretty ignorant of China's politics myself, who to follow for good coverage of what's going on in China? This latest consolidation of power by Xi, is it more of the same or is this something we haven't seen before?
