Well, you can get a spacer for some vehicles, it can be a challenge to retain ABS but it is possible.
I meant SRS, I don't know how ABS came out

OK, I lied; I do have another question. But I'm going to refrain...
Is it about being able to sing?
You are either deliberately missing the point and arguing a metaphor - i.e. trolling; missing the point cause you lack the capacity - i.e. mental skills to tell the metaphor from the argument and both from the issue at hand; or... well... have other issues.
Either way, even my time is more valuable than that.
...from arguing a metaphor through various attempts at insults to having no clue about what you are talking (nope... that's not art) and steering off down that tangent road into the sunset of irrelevant conclusions and off topic.
Also, you're trolling.
So... Hey, you know what?
Go drive a Corvette. Specifically a 1957. The mirror is on the dash. I can't think of any others like that, but at least one car came that way.
It was on the dash in my 1960 Dodge Dart, too. That's over now because rear impact safety regulations have raised the trunk line.
Wow! You really are riding that fallacy train.
I mean, you cover no true Scotsman, ignoratio elenchi, tu quoque AND you finish off with an ad hominem, per your custom. Nitwit.
You know what? You should sit down on the floor when talking.
That way, you won't fall down on your face as much. Cause your "arguments" don't have a leg to stand on.
I mean... It's not only that you ignore that the sentiment which led ALL crusades was religious hatred of "others".
You are trying to weasel out of Catholics putting Nazis to shame cause "pope and king condemned it"? Riiiiight...
Which is why the pogroms and crusades kept continuing and why Inquisition was established.
Totally unexpectedly. I know, right?
And I just LOVE... no...
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEE!!!! how you've just justified jihad and terrorist activities and every single act of war or killing EVER because... let me get that in original stupid... "don't [they] wage war either?"
Beautiful! What it lacks in grarnrnar it makes up in stupid.
You know what?
You should print a large sandwich sign saying "NUKE NYC!" on one side and "BOMB USA!" on the other and parade with it in front of ground zero.
Followed by similar presentations at various war memorials and military bases.
Please record that for posterity when you do that.
There's never enough good laughs.
The recline isn't safe, when you can't get a good grip on the wheel at all positions. But I see people over-recline all the time.
If you can't see over the wheel and under the roof while keeping your hands at 10 and 2 and your arms bent 90 degrees and also operate the pedals then you're in the wrong seating position at minimum, and possibly the wrong car.
Sadly, many of us simply don't fit properly in many cars. I have a freakishly long torso, so I just don't get in Hondas, Toyotas, or budget VWs. Mercedes and Nissan are OK, Subaru is better. I got an Audi that fits me pretty well, but it's a big one.
that's why when I'm a pedestrian I carry a "deterrent".
What, a cardboard cutout of a cow, or a clown on fire, or something else they're more likely to notice than you?
"correctly" is where you can just barely see a tiny bit of the car in the mirror, because when you have them set like that, you get a clean panoramic view looking from left to center to right and back again and they all make sense. and the "correct" way to merge is to turn your head to check your blind spot.
Here's a better idea - make the A-pillar (as viewed from the drivers position) no wider than the distance between the center of your eyes. This prevents the pillar from blocking your vision, and no electronics are needed.
You can't reasonably do that, the A-pillars have grown to meet the engineering demands of modern rollover safety standards. Everyone has complained about it, but they are still horribly big compared to the cars of the 80s. Eventually they'll figure it out, but right now it's still a problem.
I concur. The idea I've had is that we'll eventually get to a wearable visor that projects 360 degrees in 180 degrees, and as you move your head, changes the view. The middle 90 or 120 degrees will be real-space, and the remainder will be compressed to fill the visual field and give full 360 view.
I don't think that will happen for anyone other than perhaps fighter pilots, who actually wear visors. Maybe race drivers, they would certainly benefit. The rest of us would benefit more from the the driverless cars of the future you predict, anyway. I don't want to have to wear some shit on my head when I drive, sometimes I get headaches.
Eventually, when we get contact lenses with camera and display elements in them then that will be fairly compelling... for those of us who can tolerate contacts. I'm not even sure whether that includes me, I've never tried.
Due to its size and economic might, I expect that Chinese will become more influential in the future, and it will slowly become more significant outside of Asia.
I predict that any slow change in Chinese uptake will also be small, because the language is difficult to learn and the culture is impenetrable.
most of us don't care so much about port 80.
Who is "us"? Most internet users care very much about port 80, not that they even know it. Most of them do pretty much everything through their browser.
(I wonder if you are done with your childish laughing attack?)
I started having one when you suggested that most of us don't care about port 80. Welcome to slashdot, you must never have been here.
Soon it will be. With the inevitable demise of the technological society the death of science will be unavoidable.
The death of science is the death of humanity, not just technological society. Figuring things out will still be a thing, and there will still be a best way to do that which will be discovered once again even if lost.
System going down in 5 minutes.
