It’s all about the airflow. It ‘curls’ around, which is why you get that thumping. Aerodynamics supposedly have ‘smoothed’ cars to a point where that won’t happen, but that just seems to be for airflow OVER the roof of the car. On the side? Turbulence, and lots of it.

“Shit’s expensive to replace.”
Gawker Media - “If we can’t make you click on our shit, we’re doing it wrong!”
Makes me wonder just what those 10 lbs were actually made of...
I’ve seen other studies indicating that natural immunity may be lifetime, some that say it may not help at all, some that indicate maybe a year - which basically (IMO) boils down to ‘We don’t really know yet, too early to tell.’
NY races for wind power to replace the Indian Point plant.
Just think of it as an alternate universe where the laws of physics are more like... suggestions. And not very strong ones, either. More like hints.
That’s the key there. It doesn’t matter what the percentage is of which variant - if the numbers stay down (and nationwide by Worldometer we’re at under 14k new cases for the country this morning) - then the virus will have a problem spreading. And don’t forget the people who’ve been exposed but their immune systems…

Great. Not bad enough they’re cranking out updates every few months - now you’ve got to conform to new specs.
I had a Le Car. The rubber boots on the front axles were crap, but it was a surprisingly fun car to drive, and a lot roomier than you’d have thought.
They didn’t think to put a small fuzzy brush on the robot arm?
You’re hitting the issue exactly. The people designing this aren’t the people who will be using it, and the decisions they make are not based on what people want. If you’re using mass transit you want it to be comfortable, clean and convenient. Miss any one of those and you have unhappy riders. Miss two of them…
Eh, some Bondo and some paint, it’ll be fine.
“Plus, once a city hits a certain mark it has to find a way to increase density, or the urban sprawl starts to eat itself. There are plenty of places that can’t maintain businesses in the city center because it’s so hard to get to. A city can’t just grow outward forever.”
Define reasonable - that can be the problem right there. As a potential customer it’s got to be affordable and go where the people need it to be. You brought up Seattle or SF - the two most (arguably) progressive cities in the US. Why don’t they have exemplary systems?
“Funny how no one ever says “We can’t possibly build another road.”
There’s a much higher population density in NYC or London, and that’s great for mass transit. But there’s a fair number of edge cases where politicians go “We really need mass transit/trains/light rail because NYC/Singapore/Europe has it and I used it on vacation and it was great”, and they try to fit in a system…
You seem to see it as a national issue, not an issue where the cities involved should, apparently, have more than a little bit of agency. That implies to me you think that it should be imposed from the top down instead of the cities choosing for themselves. If I’m wrong, I apologize.
Sorry, but it seems to me you ARE arguing that ‘one size fits all’ in that the government should decide what the cities do. Or.. ‘convince’ them to ‘do the proper things’ from an approved list of solutions.
