I agree with the concept that it would be nice to do something, but that the current proposed solutions aren't good. I'd just like to point out that 'something has to be done' is a dangerous phrase which can easily lead

Actually the UK hasn't discarded it's system, but you've possibly misunderstood what the system is. Monty Python was rated as suitable for ages 14+ by the BBFC. Some local authorities (which have power over what may be shown

1) The vast majority of braking power comes from braking the front wheel. Applying backwards pressure to the pedals does nothing, which means a fixie's braking power is considerably limited. 2) Additionally, the braking is much smooth

But how have you stopped that gyroscope? By providing a force (through electromagnetism). The force exerted to slow the gyroscope also speeds up the satellite, due to conservation of angular momentum.

Most of the 'errors' the article describes are arguably the writer failing to understand succession. You don't need a coronation to become monarch and thus be counted, hence the phrase "The king is dead; long live the k

You didn't claim 'not all vehicles are used to the same degree by their owners'. You claimed that if a report says 77+% of cars could be electric using the current grid, it probably means the least-used 77%. That's the
