Would you let someone stick you in a two-tonne metal box on wheels and send you hurtling down a flat piece of ground at 100kph, in a crowd of other 2+ tonne metal boxes doing the same, while not three feet away is another crowd of 2+ tonne wheeled metal boxes going 100kph in the opposite direction... and the only thing preventing utter disaster is the reflexes and attention span of the average human being?
That's basically what driving is. If you're dumb enough to do that, you deserve to crash in a pile of twisted wreckage and flaming gasoline.
I was always fond of playing the Scumbag Humans(tm), sucking up all friendly-like to whoever was in the lead and 'helpfully' placing 'defensive' fleets (strangely consisting entirely of planetary bombardment designs and troop transports) around my ally's planets. __
To anyone for whom interstellar travel is feasible, 'limited resources' isn't a thing that exists. There's literally nothing to fight over. Well, realistically speaking. A game in no way has to be (or should necessarily be) realistic.
I'm still bewildered that Firaxis actually cannot find a way to make a turn-based game function in multiplayer. I'm pretty sure like every other developer on the planet has managed this feat, but somehow not Firaxis.
I'm pretty certain thermal imaging was already ruled a 'search' and required a warrant, so I'm not sure why using active radar is even a question to this judge...
I imagine the beam diameter is larger at the source, converging on the target. This keeps the flux(?) low enough at the source not to incinerate its own optics.

We'll need to put maximum age limits on political participation to prevent society from completely ossifying under the weight of the ancient rich.
I doubt what the FBI is claiming is true, but you gotta market the fear somehow.
... to revenge-killing. Particularly state-sanctioned revenge killing.
Uh... nobody actually is going to do anything. Or, well, did anything. It's a bit late at this point.
I'm not exactly sure how the centre-right Democratic Party is considered 'leftist', but I guess that's America for you...
Quebec is a chunky voting block, so the Federal gov't won't dare poke them too vigorously.
Value is entirely based on perception.
Better would be to say that it is not a scientific theory, I suppose.

I'm bewildered that anyone would take anything Jezzer says seriously.
"Hey terrorists are scary and we need new laws, so lets commit terrorism so we can make these new laws!" XD
Oh, Canada...
... No standing.
Everywhere you go, in all things.
... and then they get a pittance of a fine and go about continuing to do business.
Assuming you make it to trial.
Score: 5 is way too low for this comment.

I guess they want to lock it away someplace safe to make sure no terrorism gets on it or anything. XD

He was a guest on Top Gear, that counts right?
This reminds me that one can be disqualified for being hired as a police officer for scoring too high on an IQ test.

I'm not sure one can say "gun control is tighter in the cities" when the cities are basically located in a sea of guns.
