Road cars also don't have built-in fire extinguishers, tethers to keep wheels attached to the car in the event of a catastrophic failure of the suspension, five point harnesses for the drivers, escape hatches in the roof or no roof at

I'm not sure why you seem to completely ignore what I'm saying. Let me state again, and plainly: What a person thinks is in their best interests, and what is actually in their best interests are two completely different things. Bu

No. There is nothing patrician about it. Stating "it's in your own best interests that the only hospital within 100 miles of your house stays open" is not a "patrician attitude" at all. Again, it is stating a fact.

I disagree. When it comes to "voting against their best interests," these best interests are not determined at an individual level, but rather through what is in the best interests of that group of individuals. It is provable that

That's what it is like out at sea. There's a reason tsunamis are referred to as "tidal waves." For example, watch this video of a tsunami hitting a port today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1B1J6sgFxk

Because, for the most part, we aren't doing damned thing about it. "Rolling coal" is inherently a very public act of law breaking, but I doubt a single person has ever been pulled over by any American cop for it. The EPA and

If you ever have the opportunity, visit the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas. They have the actual Apollo 13 Command Module on display.

Having driven extensively in nearly every city in this country, the drivers in Atlanta are absolutely the most dangerous. It is the only city I refuse to drive in, and I try to limit my physical presence in the Atlanta Metro (aside from tra

But this presupposes that they only "useful skills" are those that are economically useful. There are plenty of artistic skills that produce products that are not generally of high economic value but are helpful to society by maki

No, we're increasing the energy in the atmosphere since the atmosphere is holding on to more energy that previously would have escaped to space. We're not increasing the energy that's being inputted to the atmosphere, but inc

What car are you driving that has pneumatic steering? Also, in my experience driving cars with unassisted steering, it's steering at parking speeds that is difficult, steering at speeds above about 10 mph is fairly easy.

A jet turbine is an internal combustion engine. It isn't a "reciprocating" engine, though.

Sure, but that would be opt-in if it were ever implemented. I think both styles of type system have their pros and cons. I have loved the cross-pollination between C# and TS with great ideas flowing in both directions.

They aren't structural because the following doesn't work in C#, but would work (with tweaks to make it valid code) in a structurally typed language such as TypeScript: var transformed = media.Select(m => { var part

The Brightline train travels at 75 mph for a significant portion of its distance. It has to slow down due to dozens and dozens of road crossings. It's half-assed compared to what California is building.

Even today it can be a bear to start the engine of a small piston-powered aircraft. The vast majority of engines used in these aircraft haven't changed very much in the last 70 years. I've personally dealt with the engine in a Cir

Yeah, you're right. We should just give up, because bad people exist who won't follow the rules, so everything is pointless. This is the same argument that gun nuts use, despite massive evidence to the contrary.

What's the case law on this? Has this been ruled constitutional? Looks like it was created in the run-up to WWII, and has only been modified to change the fine. I'll refrain from expressing my opinion on what a load of horseshit t
