So having the aerodynamics you can literally fly at that speed.
You can at much, much slower speeds. For example this STOL plane only stalls at 32km/h).

There are also a shitload more humans now. Even if number of horses per capita is lower, the fact that there are more people may compensate for that.

No, crashes in the US happen because Americans are shit drivers. They are shit drivers because you get a free driving license with box of cereal. Germany on the other hand has one of the strictest driving tests there is. A German with a driving license has had many hours of instruction from a professional instructor.
In addition, American cars are shit. Lots of poorly maintained and unsafe vehicles on the road with very lax regulation. By contrast, German cars have to pass a very comprehensive yearly safety inspection.

83 million Germans, 63% above 16
Not sure why you think this is relevant. Children aren’t allowed to drive in Germany.

How is it a retcon? The use of giga- as a prefix for 10^9^ has been in use as part of the metric system since 1960. I don’t think anyone in the fledgeling computer industry was talking about giga- or mega- anything at that time. The use of mega- as a prefix for 10^6^ has been in use since 1873, over 60 years before Claude Shannon even came up with the concept of a digital computer.
if anything, the use of mega- and giga- to mean 1024 is a retcon over previous usage.

Gotta love people who don’t want to take a vaccine that was designed by the absolute top experts in the field and extensively tested, but have no problem popping pills some grifter on the interweb sold them.

I don’t close tabs, I just open new ones for the next project.
Someday a archeologist will be able to write a paper on life in the 21st century after excavating my collection of open tabs.

It’s $99 a year. I wish my hobbies were that cheap.

Which is a complete non-issue. It’s $99 / year, basically a symbolic amount just high enough to prevent spammers from making a billion accounts.

I have no problems with this. Notarizing your app is trivial and takes just a few minutes. As a user I want to know who actually produced an app and ensure it wasn’t tampered with.

I wish TLoU 1 gave you the option to sacrifice Ellie. Have an alternate ending where they find a vaccine and everyone lives happily ever after (except Ellie).
