Tells me this is wrong and people will even screw over a child.

Pretty much using Emacs(GNU) on a Unix clone on VT220 terminals. At my university the CS department was a part of the math department and we were in the basement so I didn't get the impression people cared that much about it. Admittedly the TA showed me a bunch of Emacs commands that made it suck less but I'd rather code in C. (Since at least you got feedback from the compiler and lint.)

Admittedly I mostly hated LISP because of how people used it. (Would it kill them to break things up into multiple lines. Plus these days people abuse lambda expressions and I first saw that in LISP years ago so that's probably where it came from.) Well that and parens. No not how there's so many, the fact you have to get the exact number right. (Get it wrong and funny things occur.) I'm always amazed when people claim they like LISP. (Admittedly this was back in the early 90s, maybe the dev environments make LISP ok now.)

Good one. (No, I didn't write it with that double meaning. I fully admit that.)

But for some reason people confuse antisocial (against society) with asocial.(Without society.) I mean unless linux people regularly break windows, commit arson, and spray paint graffiti.

Since it's definitely more if you're older. Also the gist of the USS Teddy Roosevelt is about 1200 got it, 40% had symptoms and 1 died.(Or 0.2% of symptomatic cases ended in death.)

Trying to clear up the fact there has never been a case of variant-CJD associated with US beef. (Well not only US but Australian or New Zealand.) Suffice to say pointing out the attached reference actually said that wasn't considered good enough information and it got edited back.

Really it's probably this. I know I pointed this out but in the case of Massachusetts most of the crashes are on back roads but the lower traffic volume is on highways.(They don't have much in the way of stats on traffic volume on back roads) The stats Mass put out does actually state this but it done so in passing so if you don't look very closely you might think there's a lot more crashes on the highway here. (From my own driving on those roads, there's not.) Average speeds here on the highway are almost certainly up since no more rush hour on any highway dropping speeds down to 30-40 mph though but at least when I've been driving on them (middle of the day) I didn't see anyone driving excessively.(It seemed like I was just driving on the weekend with a lower traffic volume.) Of course night is when people street race so stay home or stay out of the left lane and you'll be fine. Not that it lasted though, traffic volume is already back up to near pre-pandemic levels.(Not sure why, there's no place to go and things haven't really started to open up yet, that's next week.)

In theory if it's just you and another person on some back road you can duck into some side street or parking lot and let them pass. I say in theory because it seems every time I let them by they immediately slow down because they're now the lead car.

The guys that try to tail gate the fastest vehicle around. I figure pretty much what you say, they want to go fast but don't want to get a ticket. So get behind another fast vehicle and hopefully the lead car gets the ticket, not them. Yes, I've also seen them match my speed while hiding in my blind spot.(Right rear.) Of course my biggest pet peeve is people who slow down to pass or merge on the highway. I mean they come down the on ramp to the highway and slow down to 30-40 or maybe even stop and then try to get on. Also the idiots that go down the highway and when trying to pass a truck in the next lane over drop 5-10 mph as though that's a good idea.

At least in Massachusetts it's up to the cop, there's no X number of the speed limit being an automatic reckless driving.

using statistics of course. I can only say about my own state, Massachusetts, but they pull the trick of changing what they're talking about. So when they mentions fatalities it's all roads. However when they mention volume it's highways since I don't think they keep stats on that. So who knows what traffic volume state wide is. Actually there's a blog where someone actually took apart the stats here https://www.motorists.org/blog... and here https://www.motorists.org/blog... and he actually goes into their data and gives links so anybody else can look it up and maybe there was an extra fatal crash or so but the numbers are so low it's basically impossible to come to a statistically valid conclusion. Oh well, it doesn't matter now since traffic volume on the highways here is way up.

From the summary it's not that they're against standardized tests, they just don't want to use the current ones like the SAT and ACT. They claim that they're against it because they're biased. However I've got a question, do they have to pay anything to those companies if they use those tests for admissions? I'm so jaded I wouldn't be surprised if the real reason they don't want to use them is because they have to pay to get scores and they figure it'll be cheaper to just develop their own test.

There are people here in the US that think drunk driving should be legal but drunk crashing should be illegal. (I wish I was making that up.)
