I remember when I was new to driving. I ended up using a 1967 Mustang for a day, with a 302, that belonged to a friend. Well that was OK until it started raining and I managed to spin out while trying to make a left turn. Luckily I didn't hit anything, but I found myself facing directly into traffic, which had already stopped to watch my foolishness.
There is no system that "corrects issues early, quickly, cheaply and effectively". Even if mental health services were socialized (which they should be, really, because untreated mental illness affects us all), it would still be neither quick nor necessarily effective.
It appears the only requirements for McLaren are that if you want their flagship car, you have to be a "loyal customer" (such as the type that buys $250,000 "production cars").
I've been in car crashes that didn't kill anyone. That's as much experience as most of the people around here are going to have -- or are you saying that only traffic safety engineers and automotive engineers have any right to discuss the topic?
Yes it was (or at least some sort of homicide-suicide, if not specifically murder). And if he'd been experience-restricted into a less flashy car, maybe the idea of crashing it spectacularly would have been less appealing. Or, he wouldn't have found it so easy to build up that much speed, although hitting the other car head-on at 70 miles an hour likely still would have killed everyone involved (and just about anything can get up to 70).
At least homeopathy generally doesn't do anything -- except for times like this where it's contaminated. This only harms the people using it. An actively malign government harms many, including those who have no desire to participate in that harm, to benefit a few.
If a crazy man in the park makes "potions" in discarded Coke bottles using his own bodily fluids as alchemical reagents and throws them on passersby to cure them of demonic posession, we wouldn't call that "pseudoscience."
Yet it would stand a chance of doing something, unlike homeopathy. There is more pharmaceutical value in the urine of someone taking a drug than there is in a homeopathic formula.
That's what I meant by "I understand the point was to highlight the aftermath of the crash".
This event also makes driving laws in some other countries (Australia is the first that comes to mind) look better than our own. They restrict the use of high-powered vehicles until the driver has a certain amount of driving experience -- five years, if I remember right.
I understand the point was to highlight the aftermath of the crash, but seat belts aren't going to save you if someone comes at you head-on at 100 MPH. Also, I know the CHP and the state in general have a vested interest in promoting the use of seat belts. Still, this is a very strange time to discuss them.
I didn't buy the first one, it was given to me. After coming to the conclusion that it was never going to run Windows well enough, I sold it (for $75) and bought a C720 instead (for $91). At the time, development on the SeaBIOS for the C720 was already relatively mature, and they moved to UEFI just a few months after that. I bought it because I was already aware of the jailbreak, and for my $91 (plus a larger M.2 SSD) I got quite a functional laptop. The keyboard is a little bit funky, requiring "chords" to compensate for missing keys, but otherwise it is indistinguishable from a native Windows laptop.
As noted in my own post, you can also set up rEFInd (or some equivalent of your choice) and have both ChromeOS and Gallium (or any other distro) installed. The only restriction is that the distro has to be set up to install to UEFI machines, which (as of a couple years ago) some still did not.
1. Jailbreak it by installing new firmware. 2. (Optional) Set it up to multi-boot with rEFInd, if you still want to be able to use ChromeOS. 3. Put any distro you want on it. GalliumOS is particularly tailored for Chromebooks, but Ubuntu and Mint also both work fine on mine.
You can also install Windows 8.1 or 10 (64-bit only) if you want. I haven't retained ChromeOS, but I do have both W10 and Gallium installed. Mostly I just use Gallium for those times Windows shits the bed and then refuses to let me clean up after it.
But trolling and then suing people that hit them is their business model. Running out of money would put them out of business, and that's a real consequence. They have to be selective in their targets, going for maximum rage in hopes of achieving a payday before they go broke.

This was about restricting relatively new drivers to less powerful cars, not about the age of eligibility to drive.
Which is why they SHOULD do it, before adding anything for it to "remember". Wouldn't want the water remembering the wrong thing, now would we?
Many trucks fall into experience-restricted categories. Yours might if it was in Mad Max territory.

Having some more experience would have helped.
Acceleration. Getting the Civic up to 100 isn't a case of "floor it and wait five seconds".
It's been done for thousands of years already.

Sure. Because Google assigning managers that take a 10% cut couldn't possibly be a conflict of interest.

F1 drivers also have safety cages. That's all great for protecting one person, but most of us have cars that can carry more than just a driver.

Homeopathic birth control, used properly, is effective. Wedge the bottle between the thighs and hold it there.

But filtering would destroy the water's memory of the active ingredients! /s
They could at least start with distilled water that has been heated and UV treated though.
Magnetic water filters can at least help remove iron compounds.

I'm assuming that's sarcasm, but just in case it's not -- internal combustion engines run about equally hot.

I nuked Bitdefender because at seemingly random intervals, it regards gcc++ as a hacking tool and quarantines parts of it. Good riddance.
