yes, the force applied to THE ROCK will be much higher, but the car’s mass is not relevant to the driver’s reference inside the car.

Not if they crash into stationary objects like rocks, etc. In that case the amount of force the driver will experience will be 2-3 times higher compared to the amount of force a driver of a normal sedan will experience if he had the same accident.

this is not true, the deceleration (g force) imparted to passengers should be the same in either case. (all other things being equal, initial speed, crumple zones, etc). adding more mass to the car is irrelevant to the driver if you’re hitting a truly immovable object.

because they’re safer for the drivers

also SUVs became the new minivan because minivans aren’t cool. with an suv you can cosplay as an off-roader who goes mountaineering on the weekends and drives uphill through snow both ways to work and back.

what about that good ole “free” speech elon?

I’m pretty sure some companies are also using it to encourage people to quit before layoffs and needing to pay out severance. Happened to me earlier this year. In December they announced we’d go from optionally fully remote, to mandatory 3-days in office in February. Then at the end of march they laid off a bunch of people.

So watch the timing at Dell, I wonder if we’ll see some layoffs there in a couple months.

You said:

We shut down reactors of which no one knows how functional they are because no one checked that because they were scheduled to be shut down anyways.

If they weren’t scheduled to be shut down in the first place people would have known they worked.

I don’t know about Europe as a whole but in Germany we did not shut down functional reactors. We shut down reactors of which no one knows how functional they are because no one checked that because they were scheduled to be shut down anyways.

That’s functionally the same thing. And it does matter to discuss. Even if you believe the ship has sailed in Germany, it hasn’t elsewhere, and Germany’s experience can be useful to learn from.

watch us be repeating the same excuse in another 50 years. yes, nuclear takes a long time to build but that doesn’t mean we should just not do it.

also at the bare minimum we should not be shutting down functional reactors which is happening in europe.

this is why we still need nuclear, to replace the fossil fuel baseline.

yeah, Rob Thomas.

or worst case wait for the legendary version in a couple years with bug fixes and all dlc included.

the article says they wanted the moon to be an area in the base game.

the solution to that is taxes, not suing successful business one at a time.

I disagree with the author. It’s not like scientists today are robots who only study in their field and have no interest in arts at all. With the quantity of scientists in existence you’re going to get a vast array of varying interests outside their fields. I fact I would say many people are inspired to become scientists by arts such as science fiction; we don’t need formal education as priests or monks to have “mystery and wonder” as she puts it. Likewise with artists, there are lots of artists who are interested in and inspired by science.

Secondly, as knowledge progresses it’s necessary that we specialize more, or at least some of us do. It takes an entire lifetime to get to the root of today’s scientific mysteries, which was not the case 200 years ago. All the low hanging fruit has been picked. So again, dedicating a significant portion of a scientist’s life to religious “magic” is only going to be detrimental to that cause.

i agree that skyrim is not as good as oblivion, but that isn’t what we were talking about.

Do you stand by the statement that Morrowind was the last “good” elder scrolls game? In other words, you think Oblivion and Skyrim are not good at all?

Don’t even need to get into ranking them, it’s just completely asinine to say Oblivion and Skyrim are not even good at all. Circlejerk nonsense from someone who probably hasn’t played any of them.
