The red herring argument you're making here is your own. You were saying because ideas are here therefore humans must have been capable of creating them. There is no evidence of that other than saying because it's here therefore i

Road design is an easy thing to blame and it's an easy thing to fix but it's also kind of a red herring. Because road design affects everyone so if accident distribution is not equal among all human drivers then road design dispro

I think this is not accounted for in any of the data. There are a lot of bad human drivers that are not removed from the road. There are a lot is human drivers that never bother with increasing their skills or experience in driving. Those p

Tesla stock is very overvalued and has been for a long time. Of course Elon wants it to continue to be artificially inflated but those in the know, know it's time to bail on it. I suspect it still has a lot further to fall before it hi

So this is not quite true about when leaded gasoline is used. It is generally used in track specific cars. Vintage cars have long been retrofitted to not need let it gasoline. If those vintage cars have not been retrofitted it's fine b

The product I linked is 116 octane and is unleaded and does not contain ethanol. I am not exactly sure how long it's been on the market but doing a simple search I can find people referencing it all the way back to 2017. So at this poi
