over active people also wear out their body parts with the exertion. there is a happy medium though and i think that it just needed to be clarified. if you run several super marathons every year its going to kill you early... if you run a 5k it's all good.
What is your source for that? I think these people would disagree...
That's nothing! Did you see the episode where they compared it to being tired!
With the current social norm seeming to be, that not sleeping is somehow "cool" (instead of moronic), and drinking loads of coffee to stay awake as long as possible. one must assume that the majority of people are constantly overtired and not fit to drive a car.
Compared to that, things like 0.08% BAC are almost not even noteworthy!
Why the hell we're testing for BAC instead of the actual ability to react to reflexes and make good decisions is still beyond me...
Instead of a breathalyzer, they should invent a portable driving game console, and demand a certain level of proficiency in that....
Looks very cool, but what exactly is their business model? It looks to me like this Step 1: build a cool microkernel Step 2: Port GNU tools Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit!
What was Linux's business model?
The problem is, this isn't a story about stopping the government, you're mouthing off against positions that are widely popular. Restricting assault weapons and the sale of bulk ammunition has more than 50% support in the U.S. You are talking about killing me, and your other neighbors, because you have decided that your minority opinion is more valid than the majority opinion.
The conceit of YOUR opinion is that the current minority opinion will never be the majority opinion in the future. I don't believe that the grandparent post is suggesting that the time for a rebellion is NOW... However, if, in the future, the government gradually becomes more and more oppresive, there may come a time when a tipping point is reached. This would be a time when a huge majority opinion would be in favor of potentially giving their own lives for their freedom, and would be opposing the small minority of tyrannical oppressors. I doubt anyone in their right mind would propose trying to overthrow the current US government. It is not time for that, and hopefully that time would never come, but it is not outside the realm of possibility for it to one day arrive, especially without vigilant watchmen.
Without life, Biology itself would be impossible.
