What about your health? Your mental health in particular.

Your parents raising you is not something you owe them for. You didn't choose to exist; they chose that for you. Raising you is the bare minimum they can do after making a choice like that. And now that you are older, you can reflect on the manner in which you were raised and decide what your relationship with them needs to look like so you can keep your sanity.

So the difference is who decides what changes to make when interacting with the subject of the measure: workers vs management. Making the measure a target is basically a shitty management technique that abdicates responsibility.

Have a physically long machine do the work. It would have a carriage start moving just as the car arrives, pick up the car, replace tires and do whatever else is needed, then drop the car when it's done.

But just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be done. It would be extremely expensive to develop. That money is likely better spent optimizing the vehicle itself.

These devices probably cause < .1% of fatal pedestrian accidents

Percentage is meaningless without context. The stat you're actually looking for is pedestrian deaths per mile. And it's probably quite bad for these vehicles because they explicitly commingle with pedestrians.

Cars don't spend very much time on parts of roads that have pedestrians on them, and when they do, there's signage or traffic lights to help. Cars also have lights to help drivers see pedestrians and help pedestrians see cars, and generally make a lot of noise. You get none of these benefits with personal motorized vehicles. (Well ok, a scooter probably comes with some lights, but they're probably also small and shitty and unregulated, so they don't really count...)

Now if only we could figure out a way to actually do that without burning a bunch of fuel for the purpose of lifting fuel! Something something tyranny of rockets.

But at the same time, what exactly does caste discrimination even look like? Just writing a law against it doesn't make it not a problem.

I get the feeling that someone who is facing caste discrimination (whatever that looks like) is also unlikely to be able to take legal action against the perpetrators due to the cost.

Nah, there's so little shadowing because it's a foggy overcast day. It's basically a giant lightbox.

Huh? What could libertarianism do to help here? You're not going to trust bust during a local town hall.

I wish 3D had stuck around long enough to get a 4k HDR 3D release of it. Ah well, maybe 3D movies will come back again in another 20 years with higher framerates and better displays.

A lot of the problems and stupid glitches people had were from playing off of a hard drive. The game really needs flash storage, even if it's SATA. That should've been a recommendation from the start, if not an outright requirement like it is now with 2.0.

Get the fuck out of here with your logic! We're not here to be right, we're here to win!

FUCK raisins. The nasty little fucks can go decay in a corner alone for all I care.
