I'm a school bus driver and a few years ago I had a cop pass me while my red flashers were on and the stop sign was out and kids were about to get off the bus and cross the street. He was driving with one hand and looking at his phone in the other hand. He could have easily run a kid over. And then they probably would have found some way to blame me for it.

We have cameras now that automatically detect this and send out tickets, but we didn't at the time. It wouldn't have mattered anyway since the cops have to review the footage before any ticket goes out.

Similar to this, by the best band to ever come out of The Gong Show.

You leave U2 alone!

U-boats, unlike modern submarines, very rarely went underwater

I've read a lot of memoirs from WWII submariners (German, American and British - not sure if there are any Japanese memoirs in existence) and they always made test dives at the start of a trip, just to make sure everything was shipshape. Even if they somehow hadn't noticed Indy clinging desperately to the conning tower, he would have been left behind pretty early on. Unless he had gills like Kevin Costner in Waterworld.

Even a lot of the attacking happened above the water. Yes, they had torpedoes, but they also had deck guns.

Fun fact: the British experimented with subs that mounted a (fixed) 12" gun taken from a decommissioned battleship. The idea was that they would surface just enough to expose the gun and then blast enemy merchant ships. This actually sort of worked, except that the remote-firing mechanism tended to get water in it and the gun would shoot its own barrel off. And since the barrel was wire-wrapped (a technique the Brits loved) the blown-off part would stay attached and act as an anchor.

I live in the US and I would love to buy an electric vespa-style scooter that can do 45 mph. They are virtually non-existent here (there is something called the Aventura-X which costs $5000). Even if I could get one, there are no places around that could service it. And it's not like I live in rural South Dakota or anything - I live in a Philly suburb.

And dedicated bike lanes.

Figures that elon fanbois would be all about suction.

Maybe this has been explained, but how was the car able to drive upside-down before the thrusters had been activated? It's not like it was going fast enough for its momentum to hold it there.

Marvel has clearly shown that in their world mutations just unlock some sort of magic.

This never gets mentioned, but I wonder what responsibility Marvel bears for the generally low level of comprehension in our society of how evolution by natural selection actually works.

Ironically, that is exactly what Visual Basic was good at.
