Good lord... this may be the slowest paced game I've ever played.

If you do most of the side quests it's like 100-130 hours of gameplay. If you build settlements and a trade network longer. Plus if you just bought it I think there's two DLC's you probably got. You could realistically spend 175-200 hours to do everything.

I'm impressed by some of you. I'm a pretty aggressive driver and I don't think I've ever got to the point the car braked itself. (Maybe once or twice the car hit the brakes as my foot was coming down on the pedal) My 335i had the system as well so I've been driving vehicles with AEBS for a while now.

I've gotten the flashing light and beep-beep-beep, but the braking seems pretty late in my cars. Heck, the Bronco Sport has the Auto Cruise COntrol that stops at lights, and I tend to think it keeps the speed up a little longer than needed, then brakes hard. I often find myself reaching for the brake to kill cruise control just before the truck finally decides to slow down.

Just a random thought: Do the police have to turn off that system to do the ramming that they do?

Riot police also raided an encampment at UCLA after the anti-semites there got violent.

There were other police actions around the country to clear out encampments, as well.

Oh, and OAC is screeching about how Columbia and the NYPD will be held responsible if any of the poor lil 'chillruns are harmed during the illegal, vicious, anti-First Amendment Trump-led fascist Nazi assault.

OK, maybe she didn't actually say all of that, but we know that's what she's thinking.

The problem with Democracy is significantly more than 51% of people are retarded collectivists.

^ Yes. I have often wisecracked that Lincoln was wrong. You only have to fool 50.00001% of the people. Once.

So how many will the new system kill due to unexpected braking?
There are always unintended consequences. There is always a downside.

How is Government supposed to provide you with proper healthcare if it's not tracking your vital health information?

These are the same people that mocked Todd Akin for holding to a common misconception about the female reproductive system, but still wanted politicians in charge of health care.
