I don’t know where you live, but here in Sacramento, CA, violent crimes have gone up along with property crimes. Property crimes have gone up dramatically ever since they raise the limit on grand theft. In the middle class suburb where I live, you get on NextDoor and hear about people having their house broken into…

Criminals don’t seem to care about your rights to your property or your body.

They file permits and coordinate with the city and law enforcement to block off the streets. They also post when and where the events are as required by local ordinances.

Do you lock your doors if a bunch of people are walking around you car?

Uh, you are surrounded by 2500-4000 lbs of metal so running someone over is always an option before setting off the suitcase nuke.

Even the ACLU covers what is legal and illegal. https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/field_pdf_file/kyr_protests.pdf

Around here it’s mostly black guys that drive Challengers and Chargers.

The 911 dispatch will usually tell you to stop pursuing after you get a plate. That’s what happened to me when I was going after someone that plowed into 2 cars. My wife happened to be up the road about a mile ahead in rush hour traffic. I had her slow down to look for the car while I did my best to safely catch up.…

What, you didn’t do that? I thought we all did that as kids.

Lockheed had a bunch of kids fly the initial F-35 simulator, unsupervised. The kids came back with a list of complaints.

You don’t need a regulation to build a more fuel efficient car.

Except that these planes never left the country, heck they didn’t even leave the west coast, just a test flight and a ferry flight as the customer never took delivery.

Abu Dahbi and Bahrain have a alcohol ban, so they use rose water. If you watch the celebration, you can see a disappointment in their faces when they take that initial swig.

I deleted the series recording after watching the first episode.

Cd is roughly a function of the drag force divided by the area, leaving out the constants and velocity. So if you have similar drag force, but a huge frontal area, the Cd is lower.

Why worry. There are only two outcomes to the flight. You live or you die.

Even in Democratic controlled California, single payer health care has been shelved due to the high cost. It’s over twice the state budget.

It’s a bit into uncharted territories. Eyeglasses are still fairly flat. Airplane canopies while similar don’t have to deal with the close distances of a track. It also doesn’t help that they sit so low that they barely see over the top of the nose of the car.

The problem with socialized health care is your options are limited. You don’t get the option of an experimental treatment if you can pay for it yourself. The Charlie Gard case has been going on for what the months now.

If it was your kid, even if it was a 0.000001% chance, you wouldn’t take it?
