Until we can unearth more examples of Viking toilets in the country, we can't be certain that Beck has located the first loo in Denmark. Still, we can't flush all our dreams away. We'll get to the bottom of this mystery yet.

I spent some years reviewing cars, driving a different one every week, and almost never knew where the horn was.
It's in the same place on all cars: right in the middle of the steering wheel. How is that hard to find?
if you were to limit horn use to situations of real and present danger, you would probably do it no more than once a year.
Based on the driving behaviour I see every day, once a month would be rare.
My considered adjudication, therefore, is to have two sounds: a horn for genuine danger that you almost never use, and a quack for swearing at people, which will release your rage but take the heat out of your rudeness.
Guess which one is the only one people would actually use?
Of course, the answer to the problem of horns is simple: STOP DRIVING LIKE BLIND MORONS.

Valedictorian giving speech at graduation changes things up to talk instead about the "authoritative attitude" of the school administration. Administration orders his mic to be cut and him removed from stage.
I am not saying that they did not have a right to, and they probably should have done so. But the irony is still amusing.

Not all cars. I've driven a Ford Cougar 1986
And the horn is...
Yes, that's right : you have to push on the end of the flasher arm

Yup, my parents had a Ford Fiesta with a horn like that.

@jbert
Yeah ... it's a shitty situation ...

Those two are not fit for having children. And the man is a pastor?!?
-
@zecc Those Fiestas were fun to drive as they were light and had a reasonable gearbox (provided you didn't want to go over about 75 mph).
-
@dkf And every time a dumb ass would cut you off, you would hit the centre of the steering wheel, ear nothing, than take a couple seconds to realize where the fuck they put the damned horn.
What a great design !

the emergency brake for a southbound 'A' train were triggered, causing the two cars to go off the tracks and strike the wall of the subway tunnel.
I don't think that's how emergency brake is supposed to work.
On the other hand, the train did stop.

They include a 29-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman from Woking in Surrey, who were arrested on suspicion of fraud. Both have been bailed.
A 37-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman were arrested in South Shields, Tyneside, on suspicion of fraud. Both were released pending further inquiries.
!!!
We can assume that they have considerable financial resources... they're involved in an international crime operation... they're not considered a flight risk?!

@anotherusername
They offered to fix the magistrate's computer problems in exchange for bail, and then talked him through how to go into his registry to see how many problems there were to fix.
-
@anotherusername There's no money involved in UK bail, our criminals are honest. I hope these 2 have the book thrown at them.
Action Fraud says the average age of victims is 62 and they typically pay out £600.

I hope they go down for a long time. Whenever they call me I try to keep them on the line for as long as possible with my stupid technophobe act. U can get an hour and a half out of them on a good day

I don't expect the emergency brakes to be able to violate the laws of physics.
