Google maps shows 29 min by car and 46 min by transit from HND to Skytree (these are few things I know in Tokyo, 5 hours by foot, btw) so I would not trust something you read on Reddit, much less in a community called literally "fuckca

And what would be an example of such a neighborhood? The afore mentioned SF and NYC do not appear to be so, other, often mentioned in such thread locale, Tokyo in Japan appears to be also quite large too (Tokyo proper is 850 square miles).

I am looking from the point of view of physics. Transit runs buses and trains, each making frequent stops to load/unload passengers, and, busses, at least, obey the same traffic laws the cars have to obey, e.g. they cannot run red ligh

I am not seeing anybody arguing that people owning cars use them for all trips even in non-walkable places. But I don't see how transit can take less time anywhere unless you literally live in a station and your destination is in anoth

Living in a walkable place is not mutually exclusive with driving. I live in one, I have a car, all my neighbors have cars and/or trucks. You can use Google's Street View and check out SF and NYC, there are plenty of cars there to

RAV4 and HR-V came out in 1990s, somehow I doubt doubt they had any off-road equipment installed in the base even of the 4WD trims. Very few people looked for off-road capabilities indeed, this is why the unibody "crossovers" expl

A passenger car is usually under 6000 pounds itself and rarely has more than a couple hundred pounds payload. A truck like Sierra 2500 that I most often see lifted, is over 10000 pounds with the payload. A reliable air suspension for that k

Unlike SUVs, pickups don't have an adjustable suspension (pneumatic or hydraulic springs) so if you had a low bed on an empty pickup, it would have likely compressed the shocks completely under a heavy load, or, alternatively, you&#x27

>>My point is that you don't need something extreme to know school math. That is obvious, the discussion is about the education opportunities though, not mastering school math, which is, honestly, a joke.

I am sorry, I don't understand your point then. How is your case relevant to children of college professors or even mere PhDs? You apparently didn't have the same educational opportunities as them by your own account.

Are you saying that your parents are millionaire college professors and they have not told you anything other than to do your homework? That sucks, I imagine most parents are more involved with their children. My parents are just research s

I am not sure how does this answer my question. "Paying properly" a teacher will make one's parents millionaire professors or as interested and capable in their children education how? Or do you simply deny that parents educa

by pandaman 4y ago
The child of the professors has the parents who are supposedly smart and teach him or her all the time at home, how exactly do you make this available to children from those inner city areas?

This is not true, e.g. California just lifted its mask mandate in "healthcare settings" less than two weeks ago [1]. Different institutions still maintain their own mask mandates to this day though and not just in California. 1.

Most SUVs on the market now are unibody design without a locking differential so they are not even designed to be taken off-road. But they are still much handier in an adverse weather on-road. E.g. I drove by quite a few drowned cars in a f

ICE cars had an electric motor, a battery and an alternator since the earlier 20th century. Without those they were not very practical and required the driver to manually crank to start the engine. PHEV do not add a second power train, they

"Property value" is strongly correlated with the quality of life. Blaming people for wanting better (or, at least, not worsening) life for themselves and family will not get you far. Even if the current ideology encouraged that, i

EITC is not a some kind of a deduction though. EITC is a significant source of government welfare as it pays more than the taxes you paid at certain levels of income. And the reason it's a part of tax code instead of a direct handout i

"suspects" != "criminals". And we had just recently seen what happened to a gentleman who merely filmed such an arrest[1] of such a suspect, have not we? So yes, technically you can use force and do a citizen arrest if y

Depends on one's definition of punishment. I for one don't consider any use of force to be a punishment. The police's use of force to apprehend a suspect in crime or to prevent a crime in progress is not a punishment, IMHO. I

When they are treated like anyone else i.e. people who do not enforce the law they act like anyone else i.e. don't enforce the law, why would you expect anything else?
