Are you saying there’s some statistical evidence that the left side of a car is more likely to be crushed than the right side, regardless of which side the driver is on and controlling for different driving cultures?

I was scolded when I was first learning to drive because I was doing this. Of course the guy was an old stubborn ass, so I pretty much ignored him. As I learned more and more about cars I learned more and more that he was full of shit. He proved to me that you can know how to restore a car without really knowing…

Lol greater number of regulations means less regulated. Okay, bud. Have a good day.

I have chosen not to register my firearms with any government agencies, so no.
Cars have many purposes, just like guns. I shoot hundreds of rounds per month and never killed anyone, am I doing shooting wrong?
I answered your questions, are you going to answer mine?

This is done in all kinds of industries.
Customer: Hey, I’ll give you 100 dollars to do this thing.
Worker: Okay. *does thing*
Customer gives worker 100 dollars, everyone’s happy. Not every industry works on an hourly rate. I put in overtime every single week at my job and my pay doesn’t reflect this. But that’s what…

This is the problem even with “supercharging” that will continue to be a problem for a long time. A fuel stop is quick enough that you can stand next to your car while it’s fueling, and then drive away when it’s full. So a single fueling pump can serve over a hundred cars in a day if the station is busy, because…

I’d agree with that. There are natural rights that the government chooses to restrict. So it’s a right that is treated like a privilege.

There is only a license plate on your car if you CHOOSE to put it there.
Do I have to have a background check to purchase a car?
Do I have to have a clean record to physically TOUCH a car?
Am I not allowed to bring my car to hospitals, public schools, and federal property (post office)?
Does my car need to be unloaded,…

100% different. I don’t need a press pass to write about the president, I need a press pass to enter the White House. Publishing is a right, access to a specific government building is a privilege.

There were NO gun control laws before the 1930s, so...you’re wrong.

That’s cute and all, but an unlicensed person can’t use public roads. Maybe it SHOULD be a right, and maybe various cases have STATED that it’s a right, but it just isn’t right now.

Lol that’s not how rights work. You don’t have to pay taxes and have a license for the right to speech, privacy, assembly, etc. If you have to pay for something, it’s a privilege.

Guess who’s now on the no-fly list.

A world without power is a scary concept, and various fictional accounts indicate that nukes have a very powerful EMP effect. I learned something today because you asked. Thank you.

“It’s not something that should be illegal, but it’s extraordinarily dangerous and extraordinarily silly.”
Thank you! Thank you for not falling into the “it’s dangerous and silly so it should be illegal” trap. These people aren’t harming anyone, and if they make the decision to increase risk voluntarily, that’s their…

Thank you for this story. Most people think mating an existing engine to an existing chassis or a turbo to an existing engine is easy peasy. Great write up on the complexities of it all.

Obviously he meant he was going over the crest better, and then he was crashing. :)

God be with you.

He was standing on the brake pedal, trying to do a burnout. The fronts were locked.

Okay, so you’re not making the argument that increased access to guns leads to increases in violent crime. I misunderstood your original comment.
