Do you like listening to Pandora or Spotify in your car? That would be disabled, too. Same band. I understand the desire, and it makes a lot of sense; but ... it's just not going to happen :/

I need to read those studies closely; but, I imagine there's a difference between gabbing about nothing and doing serious mental work when it comes to the amount of focus taken away by talking. Singing with the radio probably has simil

Then maybe add a context :) The world needs more places where people can just come together without pretense and maybe a common interest and mingle. I, for one, don't get into the club or bar scene, since I'm not a drinker and I&#

If memory serves me, it's more of this generation that doesn't like women in tech. The one before us, or perhaps two before us, was very female-friendly. In fact, some famous photographs of computers and people working on them, di

Yes, but there's no oil or gas to trickle into the reservoir. I wanted clarification because the colloquial term for mechanically powered boats is 'motorboat'.

Not electric boats? I've heard of electric boats being allowed in reservoirs, but not gas-powered ones.

That sounds like an altogether terrible idea. All it would take is several birds to fly over the water and it'll have fish in it. And then they'll go to the restroom and so on. :/

You made me think for a few more moments on the issue. The reason 2 cars hitting each other is similar is more due to their mutual crumple zones, so they're helping each other slow down at the same time. I suspect this would also be de

No, speeders would be the people with /insufficient relevant training/ doing that. If everyone were trained, it wouldn't be so bad... which leads me back to better driver's ed at high speeds, like in non US countries.

it would also imply that a collision with someone where both of you are going 32.5 miles per hour and hit each other head on would end in near 100% fatality. That said, I would believe that a head-on collision at around those speeds has a h

It's not a part of the American culture so much. I think it should be. I also think speed limits (on highways) should be higher, or be condition-specific. ... and I think we should have better driver's ed in the States, and harshe
