  1. Should it be a living wage to work as a fry cook?

    This is where we are going to argue.
    Everyone deserves a living wage. If you are able to work then you should have to work for it, but that does not mean that you should have to work three different jobs just to put a roof over your family's heads while still living in poverty. If you think otherwise then you are a truly fucked up person. Where the hell do you think the people working in those jobs are supposed to live anyway? Do you think they are going to live 50-100 miles away where they could possibly afford a tiny house in the middle of a slum and still afford enough decent food to be healthy? Well, they can't. They have to live in the same damn city they work in. Most of them couldn't afford a car even if they lived in that slum 100 miles away, much less the gas to get to the job. If you want there to be people flipping the burgers and manning the checkout then you have to fucking pay them enough to survive in the same damn city you want the damn burgers in.

    Absolutely true. In fact I would go batshit insane if someone were to do so with my gun permit. I would also be really pissed off if one of my friends was refused a marriage license.

    In either case they have no right whatsoever to refuse. Their right is to either do their damn job or quit. The government is not forcing them to keep the job. If they took the job knowing that it conflicted with their beliefs then they have absolutely no ground to stand on and should be immediately fired from that job.

    It is not much of a stretch considering the fuel injector solenoids have to run just as fast already. It will be a larger stroke length and more mass to move, but it certainly isn't out of the realm of possibility. The videos in this thread of DIY versions were using ridiculously oversized solenoids for it and had a hard time keeping up, but I'm sure if they were a more reasonable size for the application there wouldn't be any problems.

    You dumb shit. The point of the right to bear arms is so that a very large group of citizens can overthrow the corrupt government, not a single moron with mental issues. By the way, we can still take on the military. Our government will do anything they can(propaganda) to make us think that we are powerless, but that is just a ruse. And you are here trying to propagate that propaganda. Oh, and the reason they haven't taken that right away completely yet, is that they know they will die for it. There is no other reason.

    The cars that can be carried on trucks and trains are probably the best idea in that market, especially since they can also be stacked just fine on cargo ships. You can take it directly from the ship to the train, then from the train to the truck for local delivery. You see trucks pulling trailers similar to this near most large ports, but I do not know if they also fit on trains, but if they don't it would be trivial to set that part up on the train.

    I was thinking much along the same lines as you when I first opened the article. Then I thought about it a little bit more and it made a lot more sense. All the things we were afraid of happening on this type of system already happen on the fully mechanical counterparts. There is a real gain in efficiency when it comes to turning cylinders off when they are not needed. Some cars already do this, but I doubt they can open the valves and let them be a simple pass-through instead of still compressing the air in the cylinder. Also, yes this can be made to fail gracefully, far more gracefully than the current mechanical versions. In the mechanical when the chain breaks you are almost certainly going to do severe damage to the valves, pistons, and possibly even the piston bore. If you can catch the failure through sensors you can have it default to all valves shut or half open in a position where there will be no parts colliding.
