The article is talking about flight-speed records in the context of powered flight entirely within Earth's atmosphere. The Space Shuttle of course get's credit for being one of the fastest-ever moving objects with people on board.

Since you bring up the "Trolley Problem" I'd like to share a recent Radiolab piece on the subject[0]. There are apparently competing parts of our brain, and whichever is the "loudest" (most active) is what determine

I would assume anything being "sold" to you is a lie, until proven otherwise.

Ah ha! But not everything is "matter". There exist volume-less particles which do not fit a universal definition of matter. So indeed, there is nothing for which everything is X. This is a discussion on high school debate, so plea

Smoking makes you feel better in the short term because your body is jonesing for that nicotine, and dopamine gets released when you give your body the nicotine. Then you don't smoke, and you feel shitty until the next nicotine hit. Yo

I'm pretty sure the United States Postal Service doesn't deliver to Venice, Italy. He's probably referring to Venice, California; a suburb of LA.
