I've seen these peeps racing on I-40 , US1, 540 for years. They will race all the way around Raleigh on I-40 and 540 and they will do it in the midday and night traffic.

No, they should be forced to get jobs that require a commute on a congested highway, and only allowed to drive an old Hyundai with a stick and a governor to do it.

I'll follow up my very first post in this thread with a good (longish) read about that same post that I came across and read today:

A Deadly Day of Chaos at the Top of Mount Everest

Joyriding in a stolen automobile in bad neighborhood at 3am. check. kids that should of been in their beds, check. nothing good was gonna happen that night. The big question is where were their parents or parent?
 
12 year old girl riding in a vehicle with a non-related 19 yo boy at 3 am in a stolen vehicle. Yeah, yeah something’s up there.

And there is a lot of missing information that the police know. And it should be released to the media. I’m tired of the “he was a good kid” the media releases. Don’t speak ill of the dead but also don’t white wash facts.

I'm surprised. There was not a single reference linking this to global warming. Someone is sleeping on the job. This trend has to be linked to increased pressure due to climate issues...

A girl I grew up with summited in 2018 after having to cut short in 2017 when their oxygen regulators were faulty and she almost died. Recovered enough while still on the mountain to save her sherpa (she's also an ER doc).

Fear not, a little before halfway:
They're grim reminders of the mountain's perils, and they're likely to become more noticeable: As climate change thaws the mountain, the melting snow and ice are exposing additional corpses each year. Grubhofer looked away. “You just move on,” he says. “You refuse to let it affect you.”

I specifically remember this because I thought to myself "sounds like we're back to where we were 20-30 years ago" :rolleyes:

But I agree, pretty low key, not the usual over-the-top we're all gonna die tomorrow message.
