    [Brazelton] Family Sues Apple for NOT Implementing Drive Detect Feature

    I see people slamming their brakes mid-turn all the freaking time. The worst is when it snows. Slamming brakes in the snow is a recipe for a bad time. Downshift! Engine braking gives you far more control!

    [Brazelton] Family Sues Apple for NOT Implementing Drive Detect Feature

    Defensive riding on a bike is a tricky thing to master. Sometimes it does require some aggressive maneuvering, as slamming on your brakes could lead to worse scenarios. My general rule of thumb (and is recommended by the MSF) is to look 20 seconds ahead down the road and predict situations...

    [Brazelton] Family Sues Apple for NOT Implementing Drive Detect Feature

    Omaha has a Squid problem? http://www.bikebandit.com/blog/post/how-not-to-be-a-squid-on-your-motorcycle I tend to agree with Tress. Most biker dudes really frown upon riding like an idiot (at least the guys I ride with - anecdote!). Crotch rockets are notorious for being the breeding...

    [Brazelton] Family Sues Apple for NOT Implementing Drive Detect Feature

    Isn't Apple notorious for patient trolling? Personally, I think cellphone use by drivers in cars should have pretty steep fines associated with it. First offense really heavy fine. Second offense heavy fine and 2 week suspension of license. Third heavy fine and 1 year suspension. I really...

    10 seconds in and I was like, "she's doing what she did against Holmes, is she stupid?"

    [Brazelton] 2016 itself

    2016 was a great year for me personally. Actually it's been one of the best years financially and family-wise for me in a long time.

    [Brazelton] Carrie Fisher, 2016 got her after all

    One of my best friends is an MD. He told me she never "pulled through". When your brain doesn't have oxygen for 7-15 minutes, there's no pulling through without damage (maybe in ultra rare cases). He said what probably happened was they stabilized her condition - meaning she wouldn't die via...

    [Brazelton] Zsa Zsa Gabor, dead at 99.
