    Works till you get caught. Then you're forced into one of the other options. See also: Australia.

  2. it's the terminal velocity at landing time that's far more critical.

    As my uncle used to say - it's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end.

    So we've had it programmed into our heads from when we were kids to distrust AIs.

    Maybe that's the last vestigial traces of something bad that happened a long time ago. Something like a race memory.

    Stupidity is a big problem with firearms, because apparently you can't even trust a shooting range instructor not to let a 9-year old fire an Uzi.

    If it's the story I'm thinking of, I doubt he'll repeat his error.

    Yeah, but do you think he wanted a description of that part?

    I thought his point was "how can a carburettor (which vapourises a liquid) work with something that's already a gas".

    I have no idea to be honest, but it's clearly a solved problem since I knew some Cheesehads with cars running on propane years ago. Not quite this long ago - you want KGIII for that.

    It's possible to jiggle the figures so the net effect is zero. Effectively you have a negative income tax if you earn nothing.

    It might mean millionaires have to pay a bit more, though.

    I don't know how many people there were in the 1830s, but it was considerably short of 7 billion.

    The unemployed could always, as a last resort do one of two things:
    1) fuck off to one of the empty parts of the world and farm it.
    2) If the part of the world they chose was not strictly empty, i.e. it had darkies in it, then they could shoot them until it was empty and then proceed as in 1) above.

    1) isn't really possible and 2) is considered a bit rude these days.

  13. Lots prior people

    Presumably you mean "lots of". No idea about "prior". It's a senior monk - like an abbot - but that doesn't fit the sentence.

    Perhaps you could ask someone to translate it into English?

    It's up their constituents to decide. Different people have different priorities to you. Get over it.
