Mirrors work very well on a velomobile. They are near your eye and hardly vibrate due to the short mount.

Actually, in the Netherlands and many other countries, cities are redesigned to accomodate more and faster cycling. See this new cycling highway recently built in the Netherlands. Guess what vehicles were used for the opening ceremony.

Comparing a velomobile with a Sinclair C5 is like comparing double espresso with herbal tea.

I think it is you who never rode a recumbent in traffic. I use recumbents for my daily commute and long trips for ten years now. Even lowracers in a busy city. Since a year i ride a velomobile (a real one, without engine). It is less dangerous than riding a traditional bicycle in traffic. Of course one should never count on being seen, but the main problem with visibility is 'rubber necking'. Drivers don't see anything else but your velomobile. Luckily, I never heard one crash into something until now. *knock knock*.

We have about 10 where I work. Dev team of about 200 overall. So they are a small percentage, but clearly not mythical.

A poorly defined plan is bad by definition. It doesn't meet the core requirements of 'plan'.

He requested a good solution. If you don't understand the obvious ways in which that won't work ...

Or even that using drones instead of soldiers kills less civilians. Care to guess how many civilians die if we have to invade Pakistan with the army instead of calling in a drone? The historical ratio for conventional military invasion is something like 100 times worse in terms of killing civilians.

I think your unstated assumption that this would increase empathy for the victims is mistaken. Higher realism in games has been on a pretty consistent trend of reducing empathy for the victims.

Than all other forms of combat. If we're going to kill terrrorists, there's no less civilian killing way to do it (currently).

Well, no, 'your property' is pretty much the opposite of 'public'.

Research studies.

They really wouldn't. Random hookups at a bar rarely involve a person who has sex with more than a dozen or so partners per year. The really good prostitutes could push a thousand.

No threat of bodily harm is the main problem. That threat is present in virtually all prostitution, even the kind where the threat is kept secret from the johns.

Well, the most obvious answer would seem to be spread of disease.
