You're getting warmer. Race is a make believe purely social construction which has no correlation with genetics. 100% of it is not genetically determined.
That there is no genetic test you can perform which will allow you to classify an individual as belonging to a particular "race". I'm not sure how you translate a similar test to large groups or populations, in any meaningful way.
True, but you can't tell that the person you've spotted as Mongolian isn't carrying Scandinavian genes, or which ones, or how many (leaving aside what a "Scandinavian" gene is"), making the visual determination you have made essentially useless.
Because the suggestion that race is something that exists at the biological level is a falsehood. Every genetic trait you can think of exists in more than one population group. From your perspective, it might be easy to note that Norther Europeans are more closely related, on average, to Zulu tribesmen than Australian Aborigines are. There is no genetic trait or group of traits you can check for and use to make a determination of race.
Most cars have a braking distance of a bit over 100 feet or so at 50 MPH. If the car in front of you comes to a sudden stop by crashing into a stopped truck, a faster reaction time won't help.
ESPN is not free to the consumer. My cable bill includes a 4 dollar and change "sports channel" surcharge. I watch about 2 or 3 hours of sports channels per year, maybe. Add this to the fact that Cable TV is already way overpriced for the value provided. Getting the few shows I care about through other means grows more and more appealing all the time.
Homer: Here are your messages: "You have 30 minutes to move your car," "You have 10 minutes," "Your car has been impounded," "Your car has been crushed into a cube," "You have 30 minutes to move your cube." [phone rings] Homer: [answering] Hello, Mr. Burns' office. Mr. Burns: Is it about my cube?
The reasoning behind this is obviously that if he fails to do so and somehow crashes into it, his badge will not protect anyone on the ground from getting hurt from the crashing helicopter or whatever object he flies into.
This reasoning could also be applied to motor vehicles on the ground. It rarely is.
Is this related to the dumbasses who wave at you to go when you don't have the right of way? I see this all the time around here at 4 way stop signs. Sometimes they wave me on to go ahead of them when they have the right of way, sometimes they do it when I clearly have the right of way. I don't need your stupid waving. I learned how stop signs work as a requirement for getting a drivers license.
The worst are the people who will stop before an intersection to allow you to make a left hand turn. On a road with two lanes in each direction and themselves in the left hand lane, so that your view of the oncoming traffic in the right hand lane is blocked. I can only assume they are waving me on because they want me to crash into the car in the right hand lane, who did something to piss them off previously.
In order to see a real change you really need a few "killer apps". i.e. some dishes that are significantly easier, better, faster if prepared using this new oven. A single incredible dish that can only be cooked in this new oven...
Garlic bread. The kind you buy in the supermarket. Either the frozen stuff of the kind in the ovenproof foil bag. It never quite cooks all the way in the oven, so I pop it under the broiler. Just for a second, to brown the top. A second or two to long and it ends up charcoal burnt. And this is what happens. Every. Damn. Time.

Well enough to understand that it precludes any useful biological definition of race.
oh, also... what part of there is no group of genes which can be usefully used to identify race did you miss?
I have never heard race ascribed to any species other than human.
Why are you trying so hard to pretend those differences are plainly obvious?
Especially in the US where everyone is so mixed up.
One of the neat things genetics shows is that everyone is mixed up, whether it is visually noticeable to you or not.

Skin color is genetically determined. Skin color does not, however, define race.

Except that, genetically, there is no such thing as race.
Wouldn't it be about break even for each property owner, who would also be collecting rent?

So, threatening extermination=bad, carrying out extermination=less bad. Got it.
This doesn't change the fact that the customer paid for 75Mbps and got... a lot less.

Yes. I honestly think that.

freedom of religion IS the seperation clause.
You can change Insurers, but not really your Government.
True for now, but there's always the hope that one day the US will become a democracy.
... while you signed up with something that is known to hide illegal traffic...
Doesn't that describe the entire internet (also, the public highways, mass transit systems, etc., etc.) So you really meant yes?

I've only driven in a handful of East Coast US Cities, but... parking lots? There are cities that have those?

Perhaps the countdowns can be highly directional (polarized?) in the shallow arc that would be visible to only the pedestrians in the crosswalk.
If the pedestrian has to walk out into the crosswalk to see the countdown, it's too late. He's already dead.
