Given the US Constitution, no US citizen should need a VPN to do that.

I’d of told my kid

What does it mean to “of tell” someone something?

Unless you’re the last human alive (and don’t car about animals), this shouldn’t happen.

Even as you get older, you should care about other people. Arguably, you should care about people you don’t even know too!

The deaths can be directly observed and also allow for post-mortem examination.

Have you done this?

Good point! I hope that’s always the case.

Pricing in the loss only makes sense if it recovered any of the losses.

Maybe I’m not understanding what you mean, but I don’t think that’s true. They raise prices to account for the fact that they will not receive any money and lose out on what they paid for some percentage of the items.

And if it did, I’m pretty sure they would’ve already done it regardless of whether there’s any loss since it would just be pure profit in its absence.

Not necessarily. Not if they’re trying to beat a competitor’s price, for instance.

We have as much evidence for it being a horrible death as we have for it being one of the best ways to treat an invasion

Many places punish employees for excessive “loss” in their departments. Sometimes explicitly.

Even ignoring that places will price “loss” into their products, I think it’s important to consider that this can affect “the little guy” too. Disproportionately at times, imo

I do get where you’re coming from, but there are a lot of roads where the speed limit is artificially low (or temporarily lowered for no legitimate reason) for the sole purpose of collecting income from speeding fines

If you return it, there’s a good chance that it’s just getting shipped off or sold to another regular customer

Consider what happens when a train passes through a place where pedestrians cross vs. what happens when cars do the same.

How often do trains pass through places they’re not allowed to at times they’re not allowed to? How often do cars? (Red lights, stop signs, yield signs…)

How often do trains veer off course of the line they’re moving in (aka. change lanes)? How often do cars do it?

Damn. I didn’t realize it was so drastic. 100% fatality rate seems crazy, even rounded

Why Europe? Most of the world uses KM/H.

Those tend to be more predictable than cars in terms of where they’ll be

It would be very odd if the US or Israel did it, because this started when Iran wanted to stop communications among citizens who were protesting the government.

TL;DR, yes. It was Iran. It began before the attacks on Iran (back when it was Iran attacking its own people)

I stopped all those things too!

How many Oz in a Wizard again?

So then a TB must be about…a metric shitton?

LOL…yes. should’ve been an Eighth, but we don’t have a coin for that.

Your math is right. I was just thinking of a Byte as $1.00 and going from there. Then remembered that bits are smaller, but they shouldn’t be $1 because a single bit is not very powerful. But making it worth $1 or $0.01 would make the math messier.

But yes. Two bits are a quarter is probably the best compromise! Lol

Well…up until recently
