See? In the U.S., many small cars which would be able to tow some serious loads, are not rated at all for towing. If they were, people would not use that argument very often. But apparently, in the U.S. mind, non-trucks are not able to tow.

If you can't sell off your old car at a decent price (and your car dealership also has the lot full of them), your calculation for the next truck has to include a higher deterioration, which makes buying your next truck more expensive. And financing the truck with a loan also might get harder, because your bank might also look into the resale value of your truck, because if they impound it, they don't want to sell it at too much of a loss.

Statistics. If you see a work trailer only on 1% of the trucks out there, you can be statistically sure that only 1% of all trucks are actually using their towing capacity.

I never understood the towing capacity argument. My tiny compact with a 1.6 liter Diesel engine has a towing capacity of 3400 pounds.

Because it costs trillions of dollars to retrofit a city?

Source? Billions at worst. Like I said, this is a solved problem, and places like Amsterdam have solved this for way less than "Trillions".

How much more inefficient is it? Because on my budget smartphone I can easily last two days with heavy use. So now I will only get 1.5 days?

If you play a long AV1 wide with CPU only decoding you are more than likely to get only two HOURS instead of days.

Vastly less useful than Teslas also driverless miles driven in MANY other states and conditions than Waymo drives in.

Tesla has a far broader range of conditions to train with.

How exactly has a non-profit helped women get jobs in tech fields?

Just recently I ran into a woman having trouble finding coding work despite a solid background and resume, some people had suggested to her she try Women Who Code to get some connections that could help her find some job opportunities.

I had contributed to them in the past as they also held women only coding camps for teenagers, that is I think the key way you actually get more women into coding as opposed to simply juggling the few professional woman coders in a sightly different mix across existing companies.

I had kind of lost track of them though and hadn't contributed for a few years, I think the coding camps were shut down... maybe the organization just lost track of the core mission.

Lots of the Netherlands sits below sea level.

So why should we be concerned even slightly about cities subsiding when we already can easily deal with places that exist many meters below sea level?

Wrong. It is not the cause of Global Warming, and it is not caused by Global Warming. So far you would be right. But it is a problem whose consequences get worse due to Global Warming. So yes, it has to do with Global Warming.

You are not here. You are at a place where a back-of-the-envelope calculation states is the minimum required. The real thing is probably at least twice as large.

Reaching Mars requires at least planetary escape velocity (11.2 km/s). That means you need a three stage rocket. Usually, the lower stage is about five times the next one. Starting from Mars requires only one stage (escape velocity 5.0 km/s). But still, you need a rocket large enough to carry a fully loaded ICBM as payload to get this one to Mars. A very small ICBM like the Midgetman weighs about 17 metric tons, the usual sized Minuteman twice that. Carry this one on a three stage rocket, your first stage has to have about 125 times the size of a Midgetman or Minuteman, thus between 2000 and 4000 metric tons. This would easily be in the size range of the Saturn V (2200 to 2900 metric tons).

In fact, the Atlas Centaur which carried Mariner 6 and 7 to Mars, weighted 136 metric tons while carrying just 400 kg of payload. At this ratio, we would need more than 300 times the payload, hence a rocket able to carry an ICBM to Mars would weigh between 6000 and 12000 metric tons or four times Saturn V.

Casted boy groups were nothing new in the 1990ies. There are examples of those going back at least 100 years. At latest with the widespread availability of recorded music, the marketable boy group was born.
