Apart from stricter driver licensing and better public transport, Germany also has stricter vehicle safety checks, and also road design explicitly includes safety, and also enforcement of the existing rules is stricter. These all emerge from a broader culture of regulation for public safety. Read more
This is just an excuse to pull some body over to justify getting a look-see in the car. Read more
With this magic auto-breathalyzer tech, what happens when it’s my passenger that’s drunk and not me? You know, I’m trying to drive someone home, and the car detects booze on their breath?
YES fix mass transit FIRST before we require everyone to blow into a tube in their car to drive!
UK / Nordics are even lower than Germany. Better training, better roads, better enforcement.
But what you listed had nothing to do with speed itself, but everything to do with poor behavior (tailgating), and distractions (cell phone use). Speeding increases the forces which increases fatalities. However, I believe we can definitely move the speed limits to 60mph on most non residential, and 90mph on most… Read more
It’s interesting that you have asexuality and Ed’s social obliviousness partnered up, when I would have partnered obliviousness with being aromantic. Lots of crossover and room for interpretation, to be sure, and it’s an interesting train of thought as to whether flirting and interpreting flirting is about sex or… Read more
And THIS is the most stupid and allonormative take I’ve read in a while! Congrats! Read more

People ask the question of what’s next after Endgame while missing that Phases 1-3 took 10 years of storytelling to get there.

The gas around the black hole swirls at ridiculous speeds, making the object a tricky subject to image. Read more
M87* is around 2,000 times as massive (and therefore with an equivalently larger event horizon) as Sag A*... and coincidentally also about 2,000 times farther away. Estimating the numbers, but the size and distance scaling hold up!
Never is a very long time, and zero is a very specific value. Read more
I’m enjoying the irony of a group of people who ranted about the worthlessness of fiat currency because it’s not backed by GOLD putting their money/faith into a fiat currency backed by wasting electricity.
This is like the 1929 stock market crash but only for the guy from your high school who was really really into Ron Paul.
Sorry but I don’t get it, surely it’s the look of the license plate that ruins the front end, right? I don’t see how this wrap changes that. FWIW, I’ve never had a front plate on the 5 cars I’ve owned here in California. Most car people here consider it a $25 beauty tax if you get a front plate ticket.
To be fair, you can buy an album once and listen to it forever on any modern smartphone. Streaming services are just more convenient, so that will always appeal to a wider range of people
