This should obviously be the case, with both pros and cons. The non-Americans like Assange might not need to follow American law, but they are also unprotected by it. If the CIA wants to take care of a matter overseas, they just do that.

Wikipedia is particularly untrustworthy for political topics. Political parties and even nations are employing teams of people to work their way up the Wikipedia ranks in a fight for control. Assange would know the source. Assange also made

It always feels like Tesla owns the cars anyway, having that data connection to do whatever they feel like doing. Leasing makes it legit.

Cause and effect go the other way. Actively pursuing a dominating international position was caused by the shift to more federal power. That came about mostly due to: 1. the Civil War, establishing a new level of federal supremacy 2. the 16

I wouldn't call it educational. It was motivated denial. It was also unfairly presuming that motorcyclists are more alert/careful/skilled than other drivers. This is clearly not the case. Just a couple months ago, I suddenly

Your "safe lane splitting scenario" is compatible with my scenario, the one where you get squished flat. It's also not OK to snap off my mirror or gouge a groove in my paint. I'm not "drifting into another lane&quot

If you had an escape, it wouldn't be lane splitting. Picture four lanes with four vehicles. You decide to go right down the middle. The outermost vehicles change, being replaced by larger vehicles, but the innermost vehicles haven&#x27

I'm paying attention to the road ahead, so I wouldn't rear-end anybody. On the other hand, I have huge blind spots to the side and anyway my attention is mainly to the road ahead. I barely fit in the lane, and would easily crush y

I thought it was a pair of motorcycles side-by-side according to mutual prior agreement. That would be understandable. Those other things are crazy. Unintentionally, I will kill you. I hope the law would agree that it is 100% your fault, be

This is dangerous and would increase fuel usage. If the EU taxed jet fuel, airlines would then do several things: 1. They would load up with maximum fuel for inbound flights. Carrying all this extra fuel means they need to burn a bit more f

You can't see the bias if it is your own. If you can't see the bias, then naturally you will assume that argument construction actually matters.

According to your article (other comment) on Magnasanti, "There are no roads — all transit is mass transit." That is hardly "a lot of conservative politics baked into the design of the game", nor would any such politics

That would be a city without trucks...? The fire department will have an opinion on this. So many things will be difficult: construction, trash hauling, tree removal, relocation, business deliveries, etc.

Most government agencies are incapable of having a good workforce. There are strict rules for hiring, paying, and firing. These rules involve all sorts of political nonsense unrelated to job performance, such as veteran status and seniority

It's odd that they would debase it like this. Even if getting the floor space means you have to build a place with 3 stories above and 2 basements below, that seems like a better plan. Being unattached from neighbors is highly desirabl

There is no nice ripe epoisses anywhere in the world. If you do actually want cheese that smells like feet, perhaps as mosquito bait, you can get that in the USA. (it can not be nice however) Most supermarkets will stock Limburger, kept col

It isn't worse than the Whitehouse itself. There is access control. The ownership is friendly to the president. It is a physically large site, making it difficult to overrun. Targeting it with anything less than a nuke is unlikely to h

This is a warning to those who would make punishments less brutal and to those who would make it harder to convict a criminal. People won't stand for it. People will fall back to instinct, and the instinct of Homo sapiens is deadly v

The A-10 works fine on dirt runways. Putting the launch base close to the target is thus relatively easy.

Just how many 30mm shells do you think modern tank armor can withstand? The A10 carries a lot of ammo, all to be fired at the same spot. Also, a tank without optics and sensors is pretty damn useless.

So what exactly is left-right in your mind? It's looking like you don't think Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are on the left, and you don't think Rand Paul and Clarence Thomas are on the right. Perhaps you are calibrated
