Because it’s an average (really, I’d prefer to look at the median miles driven but with a large enough sample size the average and median should be close).

The problem was that we didn’t see it, we got pictures of the building and yearbook photos of the teachers.

I always recommend autox to people looking to get faster, it’s the best way to learn car control and get some confidence.

I’m a High School Physics teacher, so I know all about limited funds and time (except in the summer). That’s one of the main reasons I started instructing, you can’t beat free for track fees (consumables still cost money though, if only I could find a source of free tires and brake pads).

I’m ideologically opposed to most organized religion and most of what they do violates my deeply held beliefs and personal dogma.

Harris Hill and Driveway in Austin are the only Texas Tracks I haven’t been to, I’m always surprised to learn that car people on the internet don’t go to the track or do autox. I just assume that they’re all junkies like me.

I think the bigger delineation is that Subaru releases updates to the WRX and STi at different times, so there are periods where one is on a whole new platform and the other is the old platform.

The STi and the WRX have different engines and drive trains, they are more different as an Eco-boost Mustang and a Mustang GT. 

If it takes you longer to shift and return your hand to the wheel than it takes me to notice you aren’t holding the wheel with both hands and slap your hand, you are shifting too slowly.

Then you are doing it wrong.

That would only matter if the outside air is in your lungs long enough to reach thermal equilibrium. Since the inhale is of the ambient air, only the exterior temperatures are relevant.

Hot air has less oxygen per unit volume than cold air, so maybe the two are related.

If you want to go to the track, the Cayman/Boxster route would be my recommendation. You can’t go wrong with a Corvette (aside from how much tires for them cost), and the Mustang/Camaro route works about the same.

Who among us hasn’t had a wild ride on the toilet?

Nuclear weapons don’t just go off. At worst the radioactive material would have been blown up and spread over a large area. The amount of material is relatively small.

Well, we did team up with Stalin to defeat Hitler...

Powdered magnesium is what was originally used as flash powder for cameras, and it burns bright enough to be damaging to your vision if you look at it for more than a second or two (that’s why we aren’t supposed to do those demos anymore).

The real problem is that halfing the population only sets population growth back one doubling period (70/%growth) and tragedies tend to increase birth rates and population growth rates, so by killing half of everyone Thanos has moved the Universe’s resource usage back only temporarily.
