Yea, that’s part of why I don’t know for sure if they make cars the way the guy at the top of this thread is describing.
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 20 hours ago:
Can’t speak to “required.” But I know it used to be done.

I think what he wants is the front turn signal to wrap around the front, so I can see the left signal from the right quarter.
I’m not aware that this is not the case, but I don’t know that I would have noticed if it was not.

Ah, interesting. Good to know.
- Comment on IT’S THE FEDS! 1 week ago:
Interesting.
Not the answer I’m looking for, but still interesting. Thanks for the information!
- Comment on IT’S THE FEDS! 1 week ago:
So, a moment of curiosity.
If my theoretical pistol did get pulled into am MRI machine, stuck against it by the magnet, and I, for the purpose of scientific inquiry, pulled the trigger, should I expect the bullet to fire more or less as normal, to fire, but the bullet be pulled back to the machine, or for the bullet to not move, or not move more than an inch or so from the barrel?

Ah, I see. You are thinking about the properly structured flowchart, not the humorously true one.
Yea, fair enough.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 1 week ago:
chasing the dragon
Huh. I guess it might be.
Far from my first game, but my first perfect game. Yea, I guess that does track.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 1 week ago:
Not a sequel. Just because it’s not Portal 1. The fact that it’s second is not the problem. The problem is that the first one was flawless.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 1 week ago:
Portal 1 was flawless. Portal 2 had a crucial flaw.
Specifically, it was not Portal 1. Everything else was perfect.
- Comment on Tantrum & sulk seem to be a loop. 1 week ago:
I don’t see that as a problem. I can easily get caught in that loop.
- Comment on Tantrum & sulk seem to be a loop. 1 week ago:
Other than that, it seems fairly accurate.

Tenth Amendment, might apply here.

We should be concerned about endangered moths. Hard enough to get people to care about other people.

Italy was a constitutional monarchy under fascist rule.
And the US is, theoretically, a democracy, and if we aren’t under fascist rule, we will be soon enough. Fascism can spring from any form of government.
your second paragraph is something only ignorant bootlickers say
So you feel that Obama-Trump-Biden-Trump was as stable as any government needs too be? No improvement to be made there?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
The reason one has a constitutional monarchy is to try to split the difference, I think, and get the best parts of each system.
But I’m with you. No kings.
- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 3 weeks ago:
Do none of you people have clothes pins? Or does that count as Neutral Good?
Also, CG and CN need to be switched. There is no way the bottle hack counts as “good.”
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t choose such a system, I think, but I can’t say that tete aren’t at least a few half decent arguments for it.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
A constitutional monarch may have a wide range of powers, depending on the constitution. It doesn’t automatically mean “powerless figurehead.”
Given the way the US has been recently, I’m willing to admit that there may be some benefit to having a leader in some position of power that had been there a long time, and has, more or less, been training for the responsibly since birth.
Of course, there are plenty of arguments against such a leader, but the least of which is how much you have to stretch the word “training” to make it fit that sentence above.
- Comment on Trump wants a nuclear deal with lran 3 weeks ago:
I recall our 46th president deliberately torpedoing a perfectly good deal wee had with Iran to control it’s nuclear program. And at a much earlier stage, too.
- Comment on Trump: The EU is ‘nastier than China’ 3 weeks ago:
Lost the Trade War with China.
Starting a Trade War with the EU in the hopes of a victory. Sadly, the EU just saw exactly how to win.
- Comment on If someone is bullied to suicide/threatened to death, and they actually attempt something like that or die, will the person who told them to do so get charged? 3 weeks ago:
You could always just say “whoops, I read the question wrong,” particularly since the rest of your answer was right.
- Comment on If someone is bullied to suicide/threatened to death, and they actually attempt something like that or die, will the person who told them to do so get charged? 3 weeks ago:
If you’re a practicing attorney, can you explain to me what roll the judge and jury have in charging someone with a crime? I had always thought that was done long before they game into the picture.
- Comment on Got a Playmates TOS Tricorder off eBay. 3 weeks ago:
They did make a medical, in very limited numbers, but I’m using the TNG Science/Engineering tricorder.
- Comment on Losing my Meta account because of release delays 3 weeks ago:
If I was her, I’d publish the threat and result in the place I hosted the mod, then nuke my own mod.
But I’m a spiteful little shit.
- Comment on Got a Playmates TOS Tricorder off eBay. 3 weeks ago:
Very nice.
I have one of the TNG versions, and I am partway through refitting it work lights and electronics. I may even finish, someday.

Thanks for the correction.
