The number of people using it as an excuse is very high on social media, but in real day to day life its much lower.

The cheese sandwich was the best part of Frye. I've literally had that same sandwich many times, and while it looks sad and basic, if you are in a position where someone is giving that to you where you didn't specifically order it, let me tell you its special and it hits like nothing else on this earth.

so proton mail is for criminals only, not for journalists or activists

at those speeds, proper motorcycle equipment, particularly helmets, are needed. these vehicles are electric motorcycles being sold as bicycles anything that charges by mains electricity rather than regenerative braking should be regulated as a motorcycle

bikes are viewed as a menace because so many cyclists are shitheads and blow through red lights and stop signs, ride on sidewalks endangering pedestrians, and change lanes without signalling (how many even know their hand signals? not even 1 in 10 actually signals while cars almost always do except BMW I have seen no evidence that the OEM signals work on those cars)

Is there another reason why only the poor, non white communities are not being covered by the seawall? is it just a coincidence that the rich white people are being protected?

Responsible governmental spending would be better directed at buying out the houses in flood prone areas and building more in safer locations. Thats what works well in the midwest with flood prone rivers, that had dump developers build next to. This is on a whole different scale though... At least Miami is more just, the areas near the ocean are the expensive ones, and those higher up and farther away were historically poorer areas.

Just why though? What does mars have that earth doesn't?

I think to give an American centric pioneer perspective, Most people who say they want to go tot he moon are thinking like late 18th century Denver/Kansas city. Small towns, rustic living, most basic necessities available. They aren't thinking early 18th, where the native people of the land were rather upset at having their land stolen and were fighting back, and no train access to the more civilized east. You want something from New York/ Boston, you get your wagon together and walk.

I mean, in a more perfect world it would be a *simulated* death. I'm not certain they won't need to simulate anything.

It gives me no joy, but given the budget cuts and the stupidity at the top of the chain people will die in really dumb preventable ways. Not complex challenger style ones either, This is going to be painful and sad for all interested in the peaceful development of space travel.

invent a perfect device, then yeah it makes sense. The devices are not currently perfect and may take a couple decades to approach what you are imagining.

If you like nothing, there is nothing wrong with that. All that I can say in favor of nothing is that it adds nothing to its products, but on the other hand, it doesn't add anything to the products. So if the product nothing is marketing was good before they don't touch it, then great. But if the product was crap before, it will be released as crap. They're mostly a transparent branding company that just adds nothing branding and does the regulatory bits to get it importable.

the $5000 dollar bread that's $10000 by the time you get to the store

Thats a really ass backwards way of putting it. They regulations were so bad, they instead broke regulations so they didn't have to follow the other regulations. thats gobbledy gook for they did the cheapest thing possible knowing it was shit and not safe because they were self regulated.

Fuck you. I most certainly do have a specific amount of regulation in mind. Absolutes are for dorks like you to use as strawmen.
