The shooters are usually students, so why would a teacher who loves their students train to kill them?

Too bad you aren’t required to have a license to own, buy, or operate a firearm and that you don’t have to register and insure your guns. 

When you’re famous they just let you do it.

I completely agree, my point was that people debate how much the smart guns would reduce those accidental shootings (personally, I believe any reduction is worthwhile).

Most of them are fingerprint type scanners, but there are also ones that use a wristband, ring, or smartwatch to unlock them (some of those have their own security features).

They do! But those are typically emergency lifeboats or used by the coast guard or military types. https://boats.drivemag.com/features/five-tough-boats-that-refuse-to-capsize

Drag. Moving through the water is very difficult, the more a boat can move on top and over the water the less drag and more efficient it becomes. It’s like why airplanes don’t drive on the ground.

The problem is that there aren’t. There are limits to what can be done. Some things are actually impossible (or rather so difficult/energy expensive that they are practically impossible).

Physics doesn’t work that way. It’d be like say that since runners have gotten faster over the last 100yrs eventually they’ll be able to run fast enough to cross the country in an hour, or that since the high jump record has risen that eventually high jumpers will be able to just jump to the Moon.

Here’s why it isn’t aliens or advanced, secret technologies: air. We live at the bottom of an ocean of air. There’s a column of air above you rising 70 miles high. When things move quickly air cannot get out of the way and it piles up in front of the object like snow pushed by a plow. This compresses and heats the air…

The ending would have been better if Jon was eaten/killed then and there. Drogon senses Danny’s death, flies up, sees the corpse and Jon and bites him in half like the T-Rex from Jurassic park did to the guy on the toilet (no ambiguity to the death). Then he melts the Iron Throne (could also do this before killing…

And what you see is the intake, the top of the motor is a few inches even lower.

That would have worked, instead they specifically showed us him healed and flying triumphantly into the super arrow ambush. They had so many opportunities to do things right and limp home to a victorious finale, instead they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

They even had an opening with Rhaegal’s injuries, all they had to do was show him still weakened and maybe with a scar or missing scales that a lucky shot could exploit to become a mortal strike.

I go to the track nearly every weekend, I instruct with both the BMW and Porsche clubs and I drive an 86. At the track, the vast majority of cars are a 3-pedal manual (75%+). Torque converter automatics are rare and mostly reserved for the novice and/or one and done (do one trackday and never come back) drivers.…

That was the part that I was most upset about as well. The whole point of artillery is that you can set it up BEHIND your front lines, and the main advantage Trebuchets and war bows had over early cannon and gun was that you could shoot them relatively accurately at high trajectories over walls from in front when…

Wouldn’t being completely accurate and up-to-date be too off-brand?

Maybe we could offer, “A Modest Proposal” as a solution both sides could get behind.

The modern interpretations of what it means to be gay (also trans) is vastly different than what it was in the past. We’ve expanded the scope of what sexuality and gender are, laws meant to protect from discrimination on those grounds should encompass the modern definitions not the outmoded ideas of the past.

Homosexuality was considered a mental illness and the physical love making act was described as ‘sodomy’ and was made illegal in many states. Some states still have anti-sodomy laws on the books.
