Electricity barely kills anyone. However, cars are the leading cause of death in children. https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/... .

Police have much more legal power to stop, identify, search and harass you if you are in a car. For instance, your 4th amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure is nullified by forced identification laws and implied consent. A

You do not need a license to take the bus, walk, or ride a bicycle.

It kind of reminds me of a stretched out F-5 with the metal back and painted front... Let's hope it's a little safer than the F-104 though! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_F-5

As a person who made the switch after realizing how intelligent these animals are, I can honestly say that it's worth it if you do decide to. However, I also understand why you would continue to eat meat. It was probably one of the har

You mean, no one wants to acquire close to a quarter million dollars in student loan debt to get a job that pays less than a bar tender?

Poor people don't use public transit because it has been dismantled to the point it's unusable. In fact, it has been demolished explicitly because poor people use it.

You do not need a license to ride the bus or train. Just a couple bucks and a good book.

Why would we take away the cars? People will still need them for lots of things. But making a country where people HAVE to drive them is terrible.

Good point! But I still wouldn't be surprised if they did it anyways. They may even get paid to do so.

This is yet another argument against car centric city design. Cars represent shackles that allow city and state debt collectors to get their claws into the most vulnerable Americans. If we had a working public transit system and pedestrian&

I would not be surprised if there was no difference between the two. That is, at a moments notice, every single recent Starlink satellite has the capability to become a Starshield node with a single software deployment. It makes a lot of se

Although I think it's not going to be as easy as picking one up at the corner store, I do not think supersonic flight (which occurs every day on thousands of airframes) will compare to the level of complexity of landing a human being o

To be honest, the best air travel is high speed rail. Replacing regional flights with train trips would save so much energy and reduce emissions monstrously. I'm not even worried about these supersonic flights to be honest. They are 40

I believe they are thinking that one is a solved problem (Jet Engine) and the other is a novel problem (Airframe with reduced supersonic noise). There has been some work done on the sonic boom problem, but not nearly as much as the jet engi

That is not something I would bet on. People pay a LOT of money to reduce even the tiniest of inconveniences. People who buy Cybertrucks strike me as likely to pay for such things. I could imagine such charging being used for small top ups

While I think this article is a bit of a nothing burger, I really wish politicians had the same rules for purchasing stocks as employees of a company. Specific times when purchases can be made and stock purchase plans. Maybe even limit them

I kind of wonder what it would be like to build a tricycle using pre-1800s technology. What would be the most difficult challenge? Lack of chain drive? Lack of quality bearings? Durability? Materials? Lack of rubber? I bet a bicycle using 1

Riding a horse is HARD. Riding a bicycle is so much easier and safer. I gave up horse back riding after falling for the 4th time and seeing all the paralyzed people at horse shows. Being randomly yeeted 15 feet in the air by a half ton anim

One thing that's really cool is that CAPS gives passengers an option if the pilot is disabled. In addition, it can be great for when pilots enter a no-escape situation like a box canyon that is not wide enough to turn around in. Person

Mass timber construction will reduce the amount of lumber needed for housing. A large timber 100 unit multi-family dwelling will use WAY less material than a hundred single family homes.

Wood framing can be just as fireproof as steel and concrete. This is why drywall is so popular for interior finishing.

Building a perfect wall with external insulation is kind of expensive and hard to get approved by an inspector. It's much easier to just do it the way everyone else does and follow national building code.
