Here's a grim little tidbit. I was just talking to a friend of mine who still works at the newspaper where I used to work, and she told me that pedestrians get killed by cars so often these days that they don't cover them as news anymore unless the victim was well known or the driver was arrested.

Something like 30% of ped fatalities is folks reading their prayer tablet or zoned out on earbuds.

I yell at them once in a while like a crazy old person when they mill around on a public roadway.

They are never grateful for some reason.

@n_dimension where do you live that people reading prayer tablets are milling about in roadways?

@MLE_online

Australia.

"Prayer tablets" == Those flat shiny rectangles they mash with their fingers, hypnotised, talking to gods.
