You're forgetting that many people can not be immunized- babies, some elderly, people with compromised immune systems, people with other conditions. etc. These are the people who are most threatened. This threat is in addition to those mentioned in the other comments about mutations, and vaccinations not being 100% effective.
He should say that he'll fly over as soon as they send one of their Iranian stealth fighter jets to pick him up.
I heard that they were actually mortarfied with the results...
the house is alarmed, but much to my annoyance it isn't always set when people go out for any length of time.
Shock therapy ought to solve this.
You just have to remember to shock them right after they fail to set the alarm, or they won't make the connection between the unwanted behavior and the punishment.
Adding an additional emergency brake as described would not help, as it would remove equivalent braking potential from the wheels by removing downward force from them. There might be minimal advantage if the e-brake had a higher coefficient of friction, but not likely to be significant.
Who should we really be labeling insane here, the man trying to make things safer around him, or society who feels they can text, talk, and drive while attempting to control a ton of steel down the freeway at 80MPH?
Your question is phrased poorly, as those are not exclusive options. The answer is that both are idiots*. The first for thinking that a jammer is an effective and appropriate method for increasing safety, the second for disregarding the safety of themselves, their passengers, and those in cars around them.
* insane may not be the appropriate word here, calling people who drive and text insane is an insult to genuinely insane people.
Do the robots welcome their new human overlords?
We should worry about where bad events could happen.
How much we should worry depends on the probability and the scale of the impact of the bad event.
Yes, it should be. But then he would be quoting you instead of George Carlin.
Longer hair might have other disadvantages, such as worse heat dissipation and (slightly) more weight. Longer hair might also make them more susceptible to burrs, ticks, lice, or other bugs.
Is there a standard or guideline specifying the torque needed to rotate the ignition key away from the 'Run' position? If so, and if this switch (original version) failed to meet it, then GM would be liable. That doesn't make them evil.
The cries of evil come in because they let their customers continue to drive with this potentially very dangerous equipment well after GM was aware of the danger. They knew that this switch had a fault, redesigned it, and issued a TSB to add a 'key cover'- without issuing a warning or a recall. It's like they did the very minimum they could get away with.
Also note that while 13 people died due to this failure, it does not include other accidents where people injured (possibly severely) or accidents where only cars were damaged. It also doesn't count any accidents where this fault contributed, but may not have been discovered.
So when you're driving your Tesla on the golf course, try to keep on the fairway and out of the rough. Especially avoid running over rocks and golfers carrying titanium clubs.
Depending on the dosage, it can actually be dangerous or counterproductive to people with penicilline allergies.
I'm allergic to Penicillin (and similar *cillins), and to idiocy, so this 'remedy' would be doubly dangerous for me.
And yet, for some strange reason, it doesn't remember the fact that it used to contain bovine fecal matter
This condition is transferred to the homeopathic practitioner.
I've met a few, and the transfer is very effective.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
