Someone's hunch finally paid off. According to this BBC article from last year, the number of pedestrians in the U.K. is half that of the U.S.

However, the reason to not jaywalk is simply because the vast majority of people take the longest possible route to cross the street (i.e. diagonal) rather than straight across which exposes you to more traffic and thus a greater chance of being hit.

And not just story time? When I used to gm I always had a hard time incorporation actual play mechanics into my sessions and caught myself just telling a story...

Is there any doubt that someone led them on? And once they discovered the magnitude of their idiocy, they had no choice but to ride it out lest they reveal how easily led they are?

That'd be fine, but we're not talking about doing that in this country yet. That's the only kind of nuclear power I would promote. Show me an effort to fix that in the USA and I'll get behind it. Also, there is still some waste left over from that. I'm going to have to see some evidence that we'll handle that responsibly. So far, nope.

Yes. They add a couple of hundred dollars to the price of the average car and they make the world a better place; unburned hydrocarbons are the most foul emission which automobiles make. You might also be interested in knowing that we averted the ozone depletion crisis by banning CFCs. Meanwhile, the O2 sensor that came along with those catalysts actually lets you make more power while burning less fuel.

Give it time. It's got thousands of years, even if we stop using it today.

The user is slowing down and doing it right when you're there. When you're elsewhere, they do it fast and they do it wrong. Tell them to slow down, close the case

You forgot to thank Jesus, and the academy.

Like I've said before, I was brought up to respect the rules. We seem to be entering into a "I want what I want and I don't care about the later consequences" kind of society, and that's not a world I want for my kids. To have a choice of a job at McDonalds, WalMart, or Uber is not what I want for my kids. The last taxi driver I had a conversation with was leasing his cab, and he had a plan to own it one day. I was going to take him 5-10 years but he was working towards something. Those are the types of people I feel should be rewarded.

So this means we should just throw them out? No, we enforce them.

Watch the Amazing Race and witness the shape that those Taxi's are in.

The law of demand is not a real legal law right? In that it doesn't actually give businesses the right to ignore real laws in search of some 'pure' law of supply and demand. Almost all produce markets are regulated, drug markets are regulated, the service industry is regulated. The regulation is in because of good ideas and are supported by real laws. Fight the law, but don't take advantage of everyone else following it before you do.

Yes. Sounds like a bargain to me.

What if some restaurant undercuts current restaurants because they find a way around health code violations?
