Would anyone think about.....

May just want to consider walking. Saw a program a few days ago that some ******** were hacking car computers and capturing the steering and braking. The operator had no power to keep it out of a ditch. Hell, that kind of stuff is what horror movies are made out of. And it is a reality. Everybody is going to carry diapers when they drive.
Do you think they'll change open container laws for computer/self driven vehicles?
Priorities man. [winking]

Can you imagine......a driverless stretch limo with your new sound equipment.
Coop only likes them because they can serve as de facto death panels for the "olds".
If I'm in a driverless car, I'm not sure I could STOP thinking about being in a driverless car. I hope the upholstery has buttons, cause my *** is going to be looking for something to hold on to.
Had to go to Charleston yesterday. I thought about "driverless" cars on my drive down, and I can't imagine being on parts of 79 and letting a computer take control of the wheel.
Give him a call and he'll discuss the issue with you while he talks on his rotary phone.
Why not make it a day trip? Down I-79, then hit I-77 to Banner Elk, NC. and back. You could climb in the backseat and nap for the duration with no worries.
OP, there are probably kids in the Forensics Program at WVU who study old cases as practice, read about people being beaten to death with phones, once a common thing, and think "WTF"? Not only could you pound someone to a pulp with one of those beasts, you could strangle them at the same time with that heavy duty line cord and not have to worry about it breaking or pulling away from the wall. The receiver on the things would knock you cold when used as a club. People were known to use the monsters for self defense during break-ins and attempted forced entries. Even the dumbest crook didn't want to get bopped with one of the things. If it struck bone, it was breaking it.
The "compact" Princess phone probably came in at three pounds easy. It was advertised as "sleek". That meant it was easier for your Mom or sister to fling at your head. That's one way Mother's showed they loved you then.
Those home delivered papers are handy to have around since the Sears catalog went the way of dinosaurs. You country raised folks on the board know exactly what I'm talking about.
The women's underwear section of the Sears catalog was life saver when you got a little older, as was National Geographic. In the eons before internet porn, shopkeepers routinely said, "No kid, I'm not going to sell you Playboy this month, either! " I don't know how any guy made it through Junior High in those days without either the Sears catalog or NG? Now it's "Click, click, click, nekkid chicks!" You lucky lil' SOB's.
It really pissed me off when my Grandparents put in an indoor bathroom and we did not use the Sears catalogs in it. Do you remember when the underwear pages were always the LAST pages used?
Reminds me of this joke:
The couple had 3 kids, lived without indoor plumbing all of their lives. They raised the kids who all grew up to be successful. All the while the folks at home lived in the same house with no indoor plumbing. One Christmas all of the kids pooled their money, had running water and septic put in, and added on a bathroom to the old folks' place. They all came in to visit for the holiday and decide to tear down the old outhouse. That night they all wake up to Dad yelling, "Fire!" Everyone wakes up and starts searching for where the fire is. They can't find any signs of it and start running toward the old man's voice. They finally found him in the old outhouse hole - he went to answer the call in the middle of the night and went outside out of habit. They got him out, and he got cleaned off. They asked why he was yelling fire. He said, "None of you would have come running if I yelled s#!T."
