Or Costco.

While Germany struggled to build 27,000 trucks in 1943, America produced over 560,000 GMC trucks alone.

There are other factors to take into account: for example, the difference in population by a factor of two, or the fact that only one of those two nations was under heavy bombing of its industrial zones at the time.

As are the sails on many large recreational yachts. Power furling systems are quite common.

"The crew" (skipper) just pushes a button. From there, it's how fast the hydraulics can work.

... or moved to non-Rust dependent distributions.

Alas, poor Debian. I knew him ...

It's cheap land. But often not owned by the port authority that builds the airport. If the PA had to acquire buffer zones, nothing would ever get built. So the land remains in private hands. And the uses it is put to are often low rent. Like warehouses, scrap metal yards, dive bars, etc.

Reminds me of the trouble ticket/mechanics responses that made such humorous reading:

Flight crew: Engine No. 1 is missing.
Maintenance: Found Engine No. 1 on the left wing where it's supposed to be.

Seriously, "lost an engine" can mean so many different things.

I've worked on projects where maybe 5 people were actually contributed to the effort. But 100 people would show up for progress meetings. And those 95 people would have no input other than not liking the font I had used on my presentation.

... other humans.

ADHD people don't like making eye contact? No problem, boss. You can have that camera on your laptop staring at you all day.

Oh boy! The Deux Chevauxs have arrived.

They could turn that into a profit center. Much like the Texas civil courts have done.

Nah. I walk in to Home Depot, don't find what I want and just walk out the exit door. No problems. Sometimes I even walk out the entrance door.

It's nice to live in a town without homeless bums.

Even as someone who votes left more than any other way, I'd be entirely okay with killing the AMT. It is a huge pain to deal with.

The real problem, IMO, is that Congress needs to get off its a** and pass laws requiring brokerages and retirement plans to provide all of the tax data in a fully computed form so that you can fill in the boxes on your tax worksheet and be done, rather than having to look through every single line and figure out which ones were short-term, which were long-term, which had foreign tax, etc. Even with TurboTax, even with basically everything coming from Edward Jones, it *still* takes me two or three hours every year to fill in the information correctly for my taxes. I can't imagine trying to do that by hand on paper.

The real problem with requiring icons to be a specific shape is that it makes apps harder to recognize. Just look at how much confusion Google's icon rebranding has been, with every icon looking a lot like a multicolored square, and you'll understand what I mean. Now imagine every app icon on an entire operating system being a rounded square.

Certainly true for highways, yes. There's also next to no good alternative to individual cars for highway driving, though. Amtrak is very, very limited, Greyhound is slow *and* very limited, airplanes are grossly fuel inefficient and are generally limited to relatively long distances, and that's about it.

Not sure why you think people would drive fewer miles. Most people in cars are trying to get to a specific place, not driving just to drive. Would people plan shorter trips? Maybe for some small percentage of leisure driving, but leisure driving is already a small percentage of driving, so that's a small reduction in fuel use for a small percentage of a small percentage of trips. That's hardly worth the negative impact on everything else.
