      I'm not much of a car guy either, but imagine self driving cars all zooming around at 200+ mph.

      Wouldn't have to worry about deer at that point. . .

      you'd be more worried about self driving cars than deer? why?

      "if you're gonna hit a deer, speed up" . . .

      Meaning at those speeds, the car, the deer, the everything is toast. . .

          Much more worried about deer... even going 30-40 mph they can do a ton of damage to a car.

            Have you ever seen a motorcyclist hit a deer at 80 mph? The deer is in a lot of pieces and the motorcycle just keeps going.

            As for a broad face car... well the deer will still be in a lot of little pieces.... but the car will be totaled as well.

              I've had a deer jump into my lap on a motorcycle going ~60. Knocked me off but the bike just coasted and set down in some grass off the side of the road. That was a painful week.

                This, this is why I will never own a motorcycle. I am a deer magnet, I've hit 6 in the past 8 years. If I had a motorcycle I would die.

                  After we had our daughter I ride a lot less. Once or twice this past year. Just too much risk for me to feel comfortable on it anymore. Which sucks because I really enjoyed riding.

                        Yep a good portion of the riders I know have hit, had a near miss, or had a deer jump in their laps.

                            Booker proposes major changes to marijuana laws. I actually know this guy and have taken him out to eat a few times! https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/08/pot-removed-from-controlled-substance-list-under-proposed-legislation/

                              Nice! Lucky kid.

                              Except the museum people come and take it away with no payment to the kid. That's bullshit. If I found a bunch of Roman silver, I'd be selling it, not donating it.

                                Seriously? He gets nothing for the find/donating it? Pfft bs. Yeah I'm with you, time to find a private collector or something.

                                  @quixoticjeremy I saw nothing in the article that mention him getting any payment. Plus the fact that it is "historical" means the gov't can sweep in and lay claim to your property.

                                    @mlnews The clause to penalize states that dont legalize makes this bill DOA, which is unfortunate. removing Schedule 1 status would be huge.

                                      It only punishes them if they don't decriminalize, they don't need to legalize. Quite different things. Booker is a powerhouse politician, this might actually make some noise.

                                        As much as I'm completely against publishing c smoking because there is no way to keep your smoke away free m me as I walk by, I am totally for the legalization of bud. It just need to be treated like alcohol. You drive high, busted. You operate heavy machinery, busted.

It just need to be treated like alcohol. You drive high, busted. You operate heavy machinery, busted.

                                          Most of those are already covered in the DUI laws.

                                            @mlnews The clause to penalize states that dont legalize makes this bill DOA, which is unfortunate. removing Schedule 1 status would be huge.

                                            It only punishes them if they don't decriminalize, they don't need to legalize. Quite different things. Booker is a powerhouse politician, this might actually make some noise.

                                            As much as I'm completely against publishing c smoking because there is no way to keep your smoke away free m me as I walk by, I am totally for the legalization of bud. It just need to be treated like alcohol. You drive high, busted. You operate heavy machinery, busted.
