The interesting question to me is, “does the bee know it’s going to die if it stings you?” And therefore, acts judiciously in deciding when, if ever, to sting? So that it only does it when it’s life-threateningly mad at something?

If there's one thing to admire/observe about old advertisements or documents like this (aside from the cycling-specific content), it's how much in a previous age, people publicly put their names behind the content and claims.

This is a little bit of a layman's question but maybe someone is interested: When people go searching for prime numbers / bitcoin with massive compute, I assume that there are huge libraries of "shortcuts" to reduce the

I just wonder why they choose not to enforce this aspect of it when it can be a significant population (in a statistical sense) of the car traffic as well as revenue. Manhattan inside the highways is a big place. Maybe it's the cos

The USA needs to work on: -- making the cost of employing a good staffing level of police more affordable (so that we can have more, everyday police doing a job as a neighborhood force and seen as a reliable presence against crime) -- more

What I am interested to know but cannot find is: Are there are cameras inside the zone tracking cars to bill them if you are already in the zone, or if cameras only track entry to the zone? (i.e. cameras only on the border). If some

I remember hearing that the Susan B Anthony dollar coin failed because there was no extra position in the coin drawer of cash registers to put it in. Can you image if every cash drawer now has to be redesigned to have different sized bil

It is already big a deal to change the images on currency (no matter what country). Given the US dollar is viewed as somewhat of a standard, you can imagine that to change its size/shape would be quite difficult to generate enough p

I'm not condoning some of that in recent rulings. But also ask yourself, is this the first time you noticed it, and that wasn't happening for rulings over the past 20 years for cases where you happened to agree with the outcome?

Yes, of course what you quote is true -- more resources favors large entities and corporations. Similarly for example, the rich versus poor when appearing before the legal system. That is a deep problem of democracy + capitalism. But if

Thanks for your comment, and this is a reply to others who have replied. I wouldn't go so far as to say the courts are doing a great job. But they are doing their job to interpret the laws that have been written. Far more conscie

Are you saying that you believe our judicial system is fair and impartial only when it rules in your favor? I vaguely recall a similar sentiment: "the system is been rigged because I didn't win!" Courts rule on laws. If you

In this video of the plane going along the runway, it just seems to me it's going very fast well into a no-gear landing. Like they didn't set it down for more than half the runway (and the runway was 9200 feet) https:/&#x2

Fun to imagine on geophysical length scales that each dot of gold-sulfur rich complex in the diagram could represent like several orders of magnitude more gold than has ever been mined out of the Earth to date. (No idea whether that is the

I will say this though -- Japanese companies and organizations (and people) love diagrams to present to the public. Whether how to navigate a website, book a ticket, check-in to a hotel, etc. the number of process diagrams in daily life (

I'm not really going to spend any more time coming back here for discussion, as it has become uninteresting. You're clearly an advocate for a side of the argument, not an objective analyst interested in finding out truth. And bt

You seem a bit lost within your advocacy / desire for something to be true, and unable to discern fact from hope. You would be more credible if you could separate your wishes from what is the law. I'm stating facts within the law

You need to gain a more educated understanding of the law and what your rights are, and are not. A right to do something does not extend to taking over someone else's means to do it. You are free to talk to someone in person about you

Just because you feel it is and you want it to be true, doesn't make it so. It's important to learn to separate advocacy of a position from your analysis of facts. Work-related communications are generally at the decision of th

The positive aspects described in the story are all fine and nice. You just have to know that the author almost certainly left out the heavy downsides of the journey, which would have been the totally unpredictable, frustrating, hours-long

Our governmental methods of punishment for corporations strike me as lacking. This seems similar to Wells Fargo, where ok, the company was fined, sued, made to pay restitution (somewhat) to victims. But underlying it all, the culture an
