I can't jog at 20mph. Helmets aren't about the likelihood of an accident, rather they're about the severity of an accident regardless of likelihood.

Just to take the low hanging fruit that I'm directly familiar with, there _is_ rail service from LA to San Diego. Just keeping the existing service operating is a massive challenge costing millions of dollars per year to keep the exist

Could you check what version of `python` is in the PATH and use that as the default?

8 foot beds do exist. They're very rare nowadays with nearly every truck being a super-extra-mega cab 4 door.

Working for the Federal government used to provide a solid pension, solid healthcare for life, and rock solid job security. The first has been mostly eroded away over the last decade. The last of course has completely evaporated over the pa

As I said, I'm not a student, so I don't have access to a homework assignment to paste in. Ironically I have pretty much everything I ever submitted for my undergrad, but it seems like I absolutely never archived the assignments f

Can you link to some of this testing?

Yeah, there's a disturbing trend of products advertising a "lifetime warranty", only the fine print says that the "lifetime" in question is the "lifetime of the product", which is whatever the manufacturer

Overwhelmingly, new compilers will compile old code just fine. IIRC, the only time old code is broken intentionally is when fixing a bug in the compiler itself causes the code to break.

Which countries are we currently invading? Regardless, in the 2023 budget Social security far outstrips defense, Medicare is just a shade higher, and Medicaid is not far behind. I'm entirely in favor of slimming down the US military in

Why? How? The US balanced the budget under Clinton. I was pretty young, but I don't remember the standard of living collapsing in the early 90s (quite the opposite in fact).

Phoenix and Las Vegas are already major metropolitan areas. With enough money invested in desalination (expensive, but cheaper than migrating a whole country) it's doubtful that any part of the US will be rendered uninhabitable.

Particularly for product reviews/information, it's the least biased (note: NOT unbiased) source I know of. If you're looking for information on what model of (to pick a recent personal example) toaster isn't complete jun

At that point in the story, the dad didn't have a degree yet. I know _a lot_ fewer people did back then, but it's not entirely clear to me that he was working a white-collar job at that point.

Huh? I'm American and even used to work as a professional line cook. Vegetarian has only ever meant "no meat products" to me. Vegan means "no animal products of any kind", and anything else requires a more specific

IANAL, but my understanding is that that effectively is what SCOTUS does most of the time, i.e. very few issues make it to SCOTUS that aren't constitutional questions. In any case, there is not any higher court like you're describ

In the US, "conservative" is synonymous with "Republican" and "Republican" is (so far, at least) synonymous with "MAGA loyalist", so it's really splitting hairs to call out the alleged difference

I mean, that's pretty obvious right? It's absolutely insane to have VFR traffic passing through the final approach corridor, especially at night.

Paypal (or its little brother Venmo) haven't been needed in the US in nearly a decade. I've never had a European bank account, but Zelle seems to me to be just as good as what the Europeans have.

>(the Falcon 9 also is the second iteration of the Falcon rockets, not the ninth, so…) Falcon 9 has nine first stage engines, Falcon 1 had a single engine. It's not a version number. Edit: I had to look it up because Saturn 1 is not

by 0xffff2 2y ago
Yes. The timings involved would make it impractical to land a rocket reliably via human teleoperation even with zero latency.

Presumably, yes, but is that actually how it works? I think we need a primer on how Chinese companies are structured. What does it mean to own 60% of a company if that doesn't give you any real control over the company?

What issues specifically? I'm a long time REI customer and a long time (since it was called Firebird) Firefox user, and I've never encountered any issues.

"The F-ing article" (derived from old internet slang "RTFM", for "Read the F-ing manual", a thing that new users were prone not to do before getting online and asking questions easily answered by RTFM.)
