    Because clearly that was never an issue with taxis.

    I'm confused how Uber is suddenly such an issue because it is popular, but private car services were perfectly ok, even though they fill the same purpose.

    Your need to always post 5 replies to (almost) every post of mine, really reminds me of this:

    That is a good example of your OCD.

    Your constant need to ALWAYS be right and win every argument, that is an example of your NPD. Now, are you ready to go get the help you clearly need?

  5. Which brings me to an interesting thought. If no one ages in "heaven" (or whatever they call it in Islam), perhaps those 72 virgins they get are all crying babies that they murdered.

  6. I am wondering how the terrorists sent unencrypted SMS as SMS is pretty heavily encrypted between the phone and tower, and while being transmitted over the network. Must be some pretty special phones to be able to send SMS without the built in encryption of cell networks.

    You do realize that this information is located across the bottom of every check you write right? Mine is padded with four extra numbers as the account number isn't long enough, but it clearly appears on the bottom of all of my checks.

    That is pretty much what I said. Gravity tried to get it right, but they had her doing some crazy orbit changes that just wouldn't happen. There are some things you just can't get completely right and have a story.

    On top of that, it was a polished wooden table, no tablecloth. It likely would have been pretty slippery from the water/snow the ski brought with it. But the deck railing snapping like that with the bikes hitting them, that is utterly unbelievable. :)

    It appears to be a double decker bridge like the George Washington bridge (end of the Jersey Turnpike into NY). I doubt that the box truss is there for structural support, but to support the upper roadway.

    They may not be perfect, but at least Hollywood is trying to get it right.

    The banking would also provide consistent acceleration on maneuvers, as if you bank when turning, you are pushed down in your seat, if you just turn you are thrown sideways into the cockpit side panel. The banking would allow turning maneuvers to act like gravity at times and would make it easier for the pilot to deal with.

    also once upon a time star trek writers bothered to come up with plot lines where they didn't place the huge saucer space ship in atmosphere/gravity as well.

    Are you speaking of this scene?

    I thought it was pretty believable, the way the saucer section kind of flies down. Now, Into Darkness was entirely unbelievable, a ship in orbit doesn't just fall straight down when power is removed...

    A bridge provides no ability to do what you claim. So, care to try again to prove my knowledge inaccurate. Or will you just shitpost some more and prove your lack of knowledge?
