Do nutritionists somehow not have to take calculus in undergrad (or high school, for that matter)?

It's just like the water displacement method for finding the volume of an irregularly-shaped object. No biggie.

square (and later, circular)

Are the circular DOT headlights actually a newer regulation than the rectangular ones? I would've guessed that circular ones came first, if anything, considering the sorts of lights on VW Beetles and other cars designed in the 1930s and earlier.

Honestly, as one of the moderators of !fuckcars (and a NA Miata owner, BTW), this is the first version of the "big trucks bad" kind of post that doesn't bother me.

I'm usually very much not a fan of those because those threads easily devolve into missing the point that all cars are bad for urbanism, not just big ones, and end up with people virtue-signaling because they drive small cars instead of recognizing that they're still part of the problem. "Safety" (the subset that applies after already having been hit by a car, no less!) is only a tiny fraction of what !fuckcars is about.

This post, on the other hand, is pointing out the hypocrisy of that sort of thing so I'm all for it.

I think the disparity in regulation is among the (surprisingly large number of) things both communities can agree on!

Speaking of which: my Miata is for autocross and curvy mountain roads. My daily-driver is a bicycle. In fact, having options other than driving is why I can afford to own fun cars instead of practical ones!

Liberals and fascists are both right-wing, but liberals are not fascist.

It is very unclear to me whether the "armed, yellow-vested 'peacekeepers'" this and other articles keep talking about actually are jackbooted thugs or whether they were affiliated with 50501 and there to protect the protestors. It sounds more like the latter and that this was a case of antifascist friendly-fire.

The thing that really pisses me off re: Good Omens in particular is that it took Pratchett out with him. And we don't get any more of the TV show because of it, either. Even though it's only half-Gaiman, it got ruined anyway.

"Genocide, Oppression, Pedophilia" is the new "Gaslight, Obstruct, Project"

If there were real justice, they'd get an injunction to force the power plant to remain shut down while the lawsuit proceeds.

According to the map, Ohio is one of the outliers.

Drivers whining about bike lanes etc. can STFU first. Then, and only then, you might have had a point.

They're so paranoid about any hint of repeating what they did to the Jews that they're gonna accidentally do it to Muslims this time instead.
