Reply to LPT: If the accelerator gets stuck on your car, do not put the transmission in neutral, just apply the brakes. by MarkHirsbrunner
DO NOT DO THIS!
If your accelerator gets stuck immediately shift to neutral and DO NOT SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE until you are stopped.
Let your fucking engine blow if that's what's going to happen (it likely won't, it will just bounce off the rev limiter a shitload) and deal with it later, you are alive and didn't kill anyone.

This is a bad fucking take and you're speaking out of your ass for internet points. If you don't put the car in neutral it's going to take far longer to slow the car down. Also, brakes aren't intended to stop a car that is autonomously pushing through its powerband, you are going to fight it the whole way and it's going to take 5x the distance to stop if it does at all. And that's not taking into consideration how many peoples brake pads are borderline flat. Finally, what do you think the first thing is that people do when this happens? They stand on their fucking breaks because thats the natural response. Guess what? It doesnt do shit. Do you know how fast organic pads with unsloted rotors heat to fade when applied at full speed while fighting an engine?
Put the car in neutral and stop putting people in danger to try and save a buck in an emergency. I swear these LPTs are getting more and more dangerous, are you even old enough to drive?!

No you can't usually while the car is in drive and if you've ever had your car run out of gas you know this is a horrible idea because you lose power steering and power brakes. When you use the key to shut the car off you get the added entertainment of trying to steer your car with a locked steering column.
Put the car in neutral and apply the brakes, dont shut the car off until it stops.

Fake sites created by other companies to fake rank best products and game the algorithm by putting their products first. Google should penalize people that game the spiders by making fake ratings websites and websites that explain basic shit and then refer [company x]

It's extremely hard to be promoted to a manager of a team you used to be a part of. You need to establish lines that shouldn't be crossed quickly and distance yourself from them outside of work for a bit until the power dynamic is established.

Reply to comment by ThePretzul in Website for HOA payments clearly states a $3.25 fee, but has been charging me 3.25%. Is this worth fighting over? by Melodic_Language_890
And then the property management company doubles my rent to the point that I have to move out because there are zero laws against it here. So now I'm stuck looking for another rental in my kids school district but now every time a rental company does a background check for a history of evictions they see I had a civil suit against my previous landlord so I can't find a new place to live in the 30 days I have to move.
No thanks. Not worth the $600 I'd get back from the bullshit fees.

I already tried to take them to court because they failed to disclose an active cockroach infestation that I discovered the first day I moved in. Spent $400 on consulting fees for three different lawyers who all told me the same thing: in my state the property management companies basically write the laws and pay teams of lawyers to the extent that it would cost me far more to fight it

Instead of assuming everyone is armed to keep yourself from being a stunted adult, identify that you need some serious personal growth because you are using a Boogeyman to prevent you from acting like a child.
If we choose to live in a society where everyone has to be armed in order to have freedom, then we have failed as a society and our freedom is a fallacy.

I know this looks like more efficiency, but in my anecdotal experience with a thousand acre farm in Iowa there is more to it. They are beating the shit out of the ground and planting the crop rows closer together. Fertilizer and pesticide use is through the roof. Crop rotation is down in favor of corn, and corn is brutal to the ground. The dirt is light and flaky now, it doesnt look like you could plant anything in it without a heavy dose of fertilizer.
I fear some of this is short term gain for long-term pain rather than we are improving our farming effectiveness.

Dumbass, if your car is out of control you do not have the luxury of deciding when to stop it. Even if you think you are alone and can take 500+ feet to stop the car, you dont know that 500 feet is going to be indefinitely clear and you dont have the means to take emergency action because you are already in an emergency action. Suddenly someone pulls out and you just caused an accident that you could have prevented because you were listening to your inner voice tell you how smart you are. Hell, even the police expect you to control your vehicle and can ticket you otherwise. Youre selling morons on a moronic idea. If you google "How to stop a runaway car", 50000 results pop up saying to put it in neutral. Then we have /u/MarkHirsbrunner, with new info that he made up completely from his own asshole.
> And every brake system is rated to stop a car that it's at full throttle.
From the factory maybe, and thats not even taking into account the extended stopping time from literally fighting the vehicle trying as hard as it can to do otherwise. But sure, lets roll the dice and see how that 2004 Ford Taurus factory rating has held up through 20 years of commuting.
Lets also ignore the recent Toyota lawsuit where this exact thing was happening to new cars and people were unable to stop their vehicles by doing what you are describing to a "rated" braking system.
