Everyone maintaining proper following distance merely moves the traffic jams to the highway entrances and the streets feeding them as after a certain level of traffic, nobody would be able to get on.

Sorry, I'm 6'5" and don't agree. The typical 4-door, cab-forward, American rental car is a pice of shit with no leg room. The best leg room I have had recently is the VW Bug, yes the VW bug. Put the seat all the way back and I have great leg room, and the far view mirror is at eye level, not nose level. German cards tend to me much more accommodating of tall drivers.

IIRC they added an essay section worth 800 points. I also believe, sometime in the mid 90's, they made it easier by giving everyone 100 additional points.

Maybe a year or two ago, but my $50 Samsung bluray player with built in wifi and Netflix and all works great.

Christians did the same thing to various henges up in England. I'm surprised Stonehenge survived.

Let the system fight itself. Better to just let your kid fill out one of those junk-mail credit card applications, then let them buy apps to their heart's content.

I assume they mean computer related. In high school I was labeled a "hacker" because I went into the bios and disabled the hard drive of the computers in the computer lab. Even the "it guy" couldn't figure out how I "removed the hard drives without opening the cases" because the message just said "hard drive not found" so he thought I had somehow physically removed the hard drives. Since this was pre-Internet days there wants much help for error messages so he couldn't just google it to find the answer

Exactly this. Requiring professional drivers to have additional training and the proper insurance is a good thing. I can't believe Uber and Lyft have been able to get away with it in the US since normal car insurance in the US does not cover passengers if they are paying for the ride. All it takes is one idiot with poor coverage to hit your car while you're driving around paying passengers and you're screwed, you'll have garnished wages for life and you'll lose anything of value so the courts can pay the medical expenses of your passenger

How did we go from our paranoia of the NSA having back doors into nearly everything, to suddenly believing digital pictures are irrefutable proof, in the span of just one year?

A good cyberwarfare department could easily post lots of fake satellite imagery to google from multiple sources. Kind of like how people game Yelp.

I'm pretty sure someone powerful enough to be putting on a global misinformation campaign has no problem feeding those three news outlets whatever press releases or "news" they want. Not saying that this is happening, but the WMD misinformation wasn't all that long ago.

Back in the day, my parents had a board game called "Lie, Cheat & Steal". A pretty fun game!

Why stop at 5.5"? Wouldn't a 10, 20, or even 30" phone be more useful and impressive?

Interesting point of view. There seems to be a pretty major propaganda war going on over Russia and Ukraine, and I wonder which parts are truth...
