Re:France has had the guts to crack down on SUV drivers. Why doesn’t B...

The high seating position has pros and cons but there have been a couple close calls since I've started driving a SUV. I used to do things old school when reversing and turn my whole upper body to look out the rear window but it's next to useless in my car. Now I have a wide angle rear camera right above the license plate that has saved me a couple times from hitting my neighbor and her stroller.
I truly believe in urban environments it would be useful to have a wide angle front cam - even just for intersections and crosswalks when stopped.

Agree with you. Being committed is the same as being in jail. They take your belongings and lock you in a room with a guard making sure you don't leave. Then you stay there at their discretion. I understand the reasoning in that if you hold someone off from suicide it should subside hopefully but it's all guesswork.
I keep seeing articles about a new suicide booth in Switzerland and the rate of euthanasia increasing in Canada... I understand people don't have a solution, but it feels like the experts aren't even trying. I think some good advice is to treat therapy like medicine and realize it might not solve the problem and there are real risks involved. I don't want to turn anyone away from therapy, but it isn't for me.

If they were able to cause the pacemaker to fire when they wanted they could time it during the repolarization, which could possibly cause a fatal arrhythmia even in a heart that doesn't need a pacemaker. It's called R-on-T phenomenon and it's usually caused by malfunctioning pacemakers.
