Who the perpetrators are matters. That’s the distinction. The US invading a country=act of war, but terrorists comm/itting terrorist attacks=terrorism.

Acts of war are perpetrated by countries, not non-state actor. 9/11 was an act of terrorism, not war.

Well designed, modern Nuclear Reactors are the safest and lowest Carbon Dioxide energy source available (beating out both wind and solar).

“There’s several hundred thousands of defensive gun uses every year that would disagree with you.” Cite your source please, because there are about 1 million total violent crimes in the US per year and you’re claiming that about a third of all potential crime is prevented by guns.

I think you meant to reply to a different post, but I’ll engage anyway.

“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of free state” is curiously absent from the propaganda of the NRA and those who feverishly ‘defend’ the 2nd Amendment.

Is no one going to point out how small his hand looks holding that poster?

So, like the cost of a couple of options on the Porsche. It’ll be impossible to get one without $30k or more in options (like colors, the good seats, and a little mechanical clock on the dash).

The Roadster 2.0 is coming, eventually.

Because infants, especially premature infants have skulls that aren’t entirely fused and are very soft. Burying them, or birth itself, could result in skull fractures. With how terrible the ‘forensic’ examiner was, the “fractures” might just have been the natural skull sutures that hadn’t closed yet. If you can’t tell…

It happens, I have a close friend who instructs with me and he is a fantastic coach and an excellent driver; however, at one of the events he just didn’t click with his student and both asked to change instructors (I was surprised because my friend is an excellent coach and very patient with new drivers). I ended up…

It’s cheaper if you pick the right car for track duty. Consumables are the number one expense and the best way to reduce consumable costs is to drive a lightweight, low horsepower car.

The instructor will always drive faster in their car than yours. I never drive harder than 70-80% in a student’s car, even if they ask me to (they usually can’t tell that I’m holding back quite a bit anyway). Not only do I not want to have any issues in someone else’s car, but I didn’t tech it and I cannot trust that…

At most events, instructors are volunteers who are trading their services for free or reduced entry fees. The range of experience levels, coaching abilities, and driving knowledge varies greatly from coach to coach (some clubs have stricter guidelines than others for who can coach/instruct).

Don’t worry, as long as you have a good attitude and are putting in effort your instructor won’t care how slow you are.

As a seasoned instructor, I wholeheartedly agree with you advise. Sounds like you ticked all the novice mistakes (almost everyone makes most of the same mistakes when they’re new). Braking too lightly for too long, turning in too early, and busy hands are the textbook novice mistakes.

My favorite is thinking what would happen if the shooter had the foresight to pull the fire alarm before he started shooting. We cram 600+ students down a single flight of stairs with another 500+ in each hallway adjacent to the same stairs. A single shooter could literally kill hundreds with legal weapons.

Or we could take the bus. One driver and 30-80 passengers. The key ‘disruptive’ technology could be in scheduling pickup and drop-off times and locations via an app, so you don’t spend as much time waiting for the bus and/or don’t have to go to a limited number and locations of stations.

Not really, since while I’m driving I’m sharing the road with remotely operated vehicles.
