When were you told to drive gently after starting the engine? That was a legitimate issue with early turbos, which would break if you tried to spin them up cold, and that was eventually solved in order to put a turbo in every car nowadays.

You cannot take away a right to enter the US from somebody who does not have it in the first place. Only citizens and permanent residents have such a right. Even people given a visa do not have this right, they still can be turned away at t

I, on the other hand, have seen much fewer people running red (and that only when the red just switched on, without any cross traffic yet) than people taking left on a roundabout. So by your own method you can ignore people running red ligh

The protection is just by hiding half of the traffic beyond an obstacle, you can still get t-boned on the roundabout, but only by the cars from your right and not from both directions like on an intersection. I guess it's a plus but wi

You apparently need to pay fees, get passport stamp, get TB test, register somewhere etc.

Pretty much feudalism: the current middle class would have to rent housing and agricultural land, owned by corporations, where the heirs of the current upper class hold high-paying but undemanding positions.

The tax code in 1940 was not the current code with different rates but a different code entirely. To make an example (I am not a CPA and even less so a 1940s CPA): if you could have deducted your living expenses (food, rent/mortgage, c

You asked "Can someone explain why work visas are an acceptable thing?". It's literally a power of Congress.

The Congress is given the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations by the Constitution.

They are precisely not that. A frail old lady can have property rights and use them to force strong young men off her property.

There is a principal difference between "we won't enforce all laws on some people" and "we won't enforce some laws on all people".

Yeah, it had different algorithm to render inventory and also could add/remove some objects to the background (those figures in dresses do not move if I recall, only toggle in and out). The inventory was not free camera with only contr

Unless you mean pre-rendered backgrounds, there was no Gouraud shading in that game. It does seem to have a little texturing on some parts of the model, most likely ramp lighting and pretty expensive as they could not texture the whole char

It's a bound, non-negative function on [0,1], equal 0 at 0 and 1 and having non-zero values at least in some points on (0,1). You are saying it's never been proven that such a function will have a maximum value somewhere in (0,1)

Most people already pay rent for housing, going from rent payments to mortgage payments is not a huge change for them. Down payment is harder as most people usually don't accumulate large quantities of cash.

Same here, you came out and claimed there is no forced membership in NBA and SAG, which I took in good faith and did some research. It appears that no, you really cannot play in NBA or Hollywood without being a member in some sense (paying

Well, you said it's not true that you can play in Hollywood and NBA w/o being a union member. Apparently either it's true (even Joh Voight you gave as an example has to become a member to do Hollywood production as in pay due

I am not sure what is the point you are trying to make, had LeBron James and Tom Cruise made a choice to join a union? Was the not joining an option for either of them? From what I know you cannot play in NBA nor you can play in Hollywood w

It's a simple explanation and not a justification. From your comment I figured you don't seem to understand but it appears you don't want to accept it, that's fine too.
