Do you also have homeless tent cities with thousands of stolen bikes in different states of decay piled around?

Trains and large trucks use this setup because a mechanical gearbox would need to be enormous to withstand torques they produce. Bikes don't experience even moderate torques so they can be equipped with 10-20 geared transmissions, whic

Just like $0-$5K bikes: it's not like a homeless junkie is going to leave your bike alone if it's just $3K or even $300.

Statistically there are very few women out there that can lift even same as an average man. Even a 55 y.o. overweight man is statistically stronger and has more endurance than an average 20 years old woman.

Passports also are for identification inside the country. You are not getting issued a local government ID after you "pass" "port", you keep using your passport.

Bullets might not care but you would if you had been a woman and made to unload a truck of 40 lbs ammo crates. Also carrying 90 lbs of load out (some of which are also bullets) feels very different. You also seem to overlook demographic im

For example, let's take cocaine rats, which is a real research paid by my tax dollars. Is it some kind of big government vision that created this? Can you locate a Call for Proposal that spawned this? How does it benefit me as a citize

So there's some department in the US government, which plans all the important research such as children looking at Facebook food ads or whether lonely rats crave cocaine more than happy rats [1] and the scientists compete for these? A

Pedestrians are the same people: I often see a person nonchalantly crossing a six lane street in the middle of a block to get into a parked car on the other side. If someone decides to post on Instagram while driving at that time then it&#x

They don't deport American citizens even if wiki editors are hoping a low IQ reader won't check references and just read the title. The cases they mention are illegal parents taking their technically American citizen children with

I don't know where you live, but calling cops over noise nuisance has not worked in most cities in the US for a long time. E.g. with LAPD you will be lucky if cops will show up in 4 hours and if they show up they are not going to ticke

Perhaps having a severe mental illness is somehow important for you but I still don't see how is it relevant in this context other than it shows that the fraction of homeless with it is ~4x bigger than in regular population so it'
