  • That is simply not true. 130kph is the recommended speed. For certain marked stretches of the Autobahn there is no speed limit and it is understood that you do not pull into the left lane without checking for fast moving cars behind you. If they find that you still would have crashed if you had been going 130kph you are unlikely to be held responsible.

    She was filming a video at the time and when she woke up in the hospital days later the German police told her what had happened and she was not found to be at fault at all. The deceased person who had pulled into the left lane without checking was entirely at fault. She flew home as soon as the German doctors had done the major surgery to her legs and spine.

    My mom’s entire side of the family is German and many of them still live in Germany. Talks about the Autobahn have come up at family gatherings on multiple occasions.

    I am willing to admit my data might be out of date, but from a quick Google it appears to still be the same rules.


  • It’s about 3 times the speed limit for most highways in most places. Give or take.

    The stopping distance at those speeds is 500+ meters.

    Even with the best tires, brakes and driver that’s several football fields end to end before that car comes to a stop. If anything happens at those speeds it is unlikely the driver will be able to do anything about it in time.

    There was a woman that worked for a car magazine that was doing a video on the Autobahn and someone pulled out in front of her around those speeds she instantly killed everyone on the vehicle she hit and she was left permanently injured and barely able to walk. She wasn’t even at fault in that situation either. It’s the job of the people pulling into the fast lane to check for fast moving cars and for whatever reason they didn’t.

    You friend is playing a dangerous game with more than their own life.







  • Calories in must be less than calories out for weight loss to happen.

    Every other method is trying to sell you something.

    Better diet can absolutely help loads, but if you are eating 15 pounds of broccoli and fish a day it’s still too much fuel and not enough burn. You can definitely work out to burn some of that energy off but at some point you just have to eat less.

    I say this as a current fat person who has lost the weight and put it back on in his life.

    I eat my feelings away and I got BIG over the last few years. I was at 340 at my worst. I’m still overweight, but I’m slowly working on it again. It takes time and discipline. Two things I’m not great about.

    Person for me I like to start off with a fast of a day or two without any solid foods. Just water and maybe some tea or something. this helps me get over the appetite hump and my huge black hole or a stomach.

    If you stop eating huge meals your body will alter where it’s “I’m full” feeling is at. Unfortunately food is delicious and I push past that feeling all the time because it’s yummy God dammit lol.

    Weight loss is not a sprint. It’s a marathon. Don’t quit if you fall off the wagon. Just get back up and keep joggin.
