When I was in the Philippines in April, traffic patterns were, well there really wasn't much of a pattern. You just went were you wanted to go, without many lights or signals or rules of the road. Took forever to get anywhere. A 150 mile drive took 10 hours.

Mixed bag on safety though. They don't drive as fast as we do in the states, so the accidents aren't as damaging. On the other hand, they don't have as many safety regulations (for example no seat belt laws) so even accidents at lower speeds tend to cause more injuries.

I'd feel safer driving with those people than driving through Charlotte in the rain.

this times 1,000....people in this city absolutely cannot drive in the rain. One little drop hits a windshield and all hell breaks loose.....

Being from the mountains, I always got a good chuckle out of watching flatlanders freak the fug out when it snowed. Now that I live at the coast, when it snows the 1 or 2 times a year, it's fuging comical. I go out driving just to watch the comedy.

That looks like India.

And by the way, Charlotte's traffic isnt that bad at all. I lived in L.A. for a few months, and in Orlando for a few years. They are much much worse.

Most of the people that complain about Charlotte traffic are people that have never lived anywhere but Charlotte/NC/Some other small southern town or city.

After enduring DC traffic for the last 18 months, I will never complain about Charlotte traffic.

I am not even sure that Charlotte has the worst traffic in North Carolina. The Triangle area, especially on 85 at rush hour, is pretty bad at times.

Traffic around Charlotte is bad because NC cheaps out on everything - especially road construction.

But I agree - Charlotte's traffic is tame compared to cities even a quarter its size.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
