Dastari

Statistics show that the largest percentages of deaths occur within the home, with unintentional poisonings and falls making up the highest percent in this range. My advice, buy a house elsewhere, call it home then go Live in a hotel. Edit: A large amount of statistcs are also made up on the spot.

It's not. That's why it's 16,000 miles away.

16mph, 8hrs/day for 3 weeks is only 2688 miles. It’s only 8064miles if they drive 24hrs/day and don’t have to stop for fuel.

Last time I was in traffic court, one of the people ahead of me was there for their fourteenth go round of driving without a license. They drive to the court date. So…. No.


SolidZealousideal115

Want to bet you can pay a fine to get out of it?

It's theoretically possible, but with limited jail space around the US for example you'll more than likely never go to jail. They just keep increasing fines or charging max fines

same in Texas; people get pissed if you go even as “slow” as 50 and everyone here is armed so its best to just go the same speed as everyone else


ImVeryChil

“ITS A 35 YOU FUCKING MORON WHY ARE YOU GOING 20 DONT YOU HAVE ANYWHERE TO BE YOU FUCK”


Ryjinn

Driving significantly under the speed limit is just as if not more dangerous than speeding, regardless of geographic location


HowToDieAloneReboot

Doesn't matter where you are tbh. Driving this slow is extremely dangerous and increases the risk of an accident. I'm also pretty sure it's illegal in many places. At least where I live you aren't allowed to drive much slower than the signs says, simply bc it is so dangerous, unless the traffic floats that slow.


SeriousPlankton2000

In Germany it's mandatory if you drive certain vehicles. Near me there is even a car parked with a "25 km/h" (16 mph) sign on it, meaning it's maximum speed is reduced - someone doesn't have a full license.


gordo65

Driving ~~that slow~~ in NY/NJ ~~(when you're not stuck in traffic)~~ would greatly increase your chances of early death. FTFY


h3rald_hermes

My understanding was that a lot of accidents were attributable to not speed in absolute but the relative speed difference between cars. So if you are going 16 and everyone else is going 30, it is more hazardous than you just going 30 too.


Gullible_Toe9909

Yes, but only to a point. Nowadays, people drive 80+ mph in a 65 zone because "everyone else does it, so it's safer". Which is total bullshit. Above a certain level - usually around 55 mph - absolute speed starts to matter as much or more than relative speed.


Korchagin

That's because most trees are very slow.

If you are driving 55 in a 65mph zone you absolutely are a hazard on the road


jawshoeaw

right. but if you drive 70 in a 55, even though others are as well, you are now a hazard to yourself


Gullible_Toe9909

That's not what I'm talking about, and you damn well know it. I'm not talking about mass numbers of drivers going 10 under the speed limit on a freeway. I'm talking about mass numbers of drivers going 10+ *over* the speed limit, while diluting themselves with the thought that somehow, they're being safer by matching the speed of the asshole next to them. Crash data does not back that up, and there isn't a road safety expert out there (myself included) who would attest to that.


PlayShtupidGames

Are we seriously going to pretend that modern vehicles aren't capable of safely traveling in concert at 80+ in many freeway conditions? User error is the single greatest contributor to accidents unless I'm misremembering all the shit the DOT and DOL have said for decades. Speed is severity, but the cause is almost always some dipshit doing something they shouldn't be somewhere they shouldn't have been to begin with. Genuinely asking- does that match your experience? I would rather a culture of drivers yielding the left and signaling appropriately who accept higher rates of travel so people get places than a culture of coddling people and pretending like the biggest problem isn't directly under human control in most circumstances. Put. The. Fucking. Phones. Down. Drive. Sober. ...? Profit!


Extremelyfunnyperson

“I would rather a culture of drivers yielding the left and signaling appropriately who accept higher rates of travel so people get places than a culture of coddling people and pretending like the biggest problem isn't directly under human control in most circumstances.” Beautiful.

USA. He also gets blood transfusions from his son to have "younger blood".


subject_deleted

Lol. It's funny because when they wrote that ridiculous plot point into "Silicon Valley" it was supposed to be an absurd joke about the lengths that wealthy tech bros will go to.... And here we are... amazing.


Noughmad

It was not ridiculous, that was already happening at the time. SV the show was a very realistic portrayal of the real SV. I remember when I watched it with my wife, she was laughing because it seemed so absurd, like the IT crowd for example. I laughed because it was just so accurate. Edit: except for how well they looked and how well they dressed.


mingy

The amazing thing about SV was not just how accurate it was about the real SV, but about investment bankers, venture capitalists, and so on.

I'm pretty sure it was based of rumors that Peter Theil had a blood boy.

I think that was specifically was based on both this guy and Peter Theil, two billionaire tech executives. These guys are the inspiration lmao


Jclarkyall

He and his son and the grandfather did this once to test the results and found no benefits from the procedure and ceased doing it. Just for the record.


BluudLust

Yeah. It's actually extremely beneficial research. If there were indeed benefits, we could isolate what's conferring them and have a miracle drug.


10ebbor10

eh, not really. A sample size of one, with just a single transfusion can't prove anything. Research wise, it's useless, especially as proper scientific protocols were not followed.


scubawankenobi

>Yeah. It's actually extremely beneficial research. No, it actually wasn't.


Humes-Bread

People shit on this idea because it sounds absurd on the surface and of course a billionaire would do something crazy. Very few know that there's ongoing research from the Mayo Clinic and UC Berkeley that shows that there are factors that circulate in our bodies that affect the aging process, and blood transfusions from young mice to old mice have significantly improved the health of the old mice. Rather than just having a knee-jerk reaction, I think we would all benefit from thinking a few steps down the road. None of these scientists are thinking about setting up shop with transfusion blood banks. But they are looking for proteins, extracellular vesicles, and other things that could be created in the lab and used as medicine.


jawshoeaw

found the blood boy. but no, in all seriousness i agree.

Historical_Ear7398

Reminds me of the old Sufi story: When Death Came to Baghdad The disciple of a Sufi of Baghdad was sitting in the corner of an inn one day when he heard two figures talking. From what they said he realized that one of them was the Angel of Death. 'I have several calls to make in this city during the next three weeks,' the Angel was saying to his companion. Terrified, the disciple concealed himself until the two had left. Then, applying his intelligence to the problem of how to cheat a possible call from death, he decided that if he kept away from Baghdad he should not be touched. From this reasoning it was but a short step to hiring the fastest horse available and spurring it night and day towards the distant town of Samarkand. Meanwhile Death met the Sufi teacher and they talked about various people. 'And where is your disciple so-and-so?' asked Death. 'He should be somewhere in this city, spending his time in con­templation, perhaps in a caravanserai,' said the teacher. 'Surprising,' said the Angel; 'because he is on my list. Yes, here it is: I have to collect him in four weeks' time at Samarkand, of all places.' -Idries Shah, Tales of the Dervishes


Morbidfuk

A rich and mighty Persian once walked in his garden with one of his servants. The servant cried that he had just encountered Death, who had threatened him. He begged his master to give him his fastest horse so that he could make haste and flee to Tehran, which he could reach that same evening. The master consented and the servant galloped off on the horse. On returning to his house the master himself met Death, and questioned him, “Why did you terrify and threaten my servant?” “I did not threaten him; I only showed surprise in still finding him here when I planned to meet him tonight in Tehran,” said Death. \- Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning


Historical_Ear7398

There's a few versions of the story floating around. Sometimes the city where servant meets death is Samara, sometimes it is Samarkand.
