Below 0.15 alcohol slows your reaction time, like being older.
At about 0.15 your judgement goes to hell. It was the number the AMA gave when asked. (of course they have been, re-asked in the decades since).
We (America) should let kids 'learn to drink' before letting them drive. The current system puts them on two dangerous learning curves at the same time. Europe has the better system on this.
0.05 is being one drink ahead of their liver, for most people. MADD mothers are insane prohibitionist at this point.
What? Not understanding the tools you use are to blame for bad results. It's your job to be safe, _many_ tools are dangerous by their nature. Cars are at the top of that list, based on death and injury statistics.
Do you blame the electric drill when some moron 'terrapins' their skull.
I know a woman who claims to be an awesome driver...because she once worked as a taxi driver I was discussing weight transfer and its implications for driving on the edge and she claimed it didn't happen. Quote: 'What are you talking about, a car's front does not drop when you step on the brakes.' WTF??? I dropped the subject.
On the other hand, what is the name of the girl on German 'Top Gear' that lapped an Astro Van around Nurburgring as fast as Clarkson lapped a Jag?
Kids have been putting 'big sticks' into affordable, entry level cars for decades. It's expensive but you can make better than Veyron power with an LS V8. It won't last long though and you're going to have a bunch of additional work beefing up the whole drivetrain, especially the tires.
Bonus, you homebuild won't have any pussy traction control, except your foot.
In Germany it's graduated as well. 0.05 (very slightly buzzed) is 'DUI', big shit, license gone for 6 months. But 0.15 (actually drunk, the same as the pre mad mothers hysteria, American DUI level) is, 'see a shrink for a year and demonstrate a year of complete alcohol abstinence' (in a country that has an beer garden attached to every courthouse, police station and air traffic control center) before you get your license back, no slips. Blood tests for Alcohol use required.
High performance cars are just waiting for you to fuckup, so they can kill you. It's what makes them so great and awesome.
Granting a Tesla is more 'muscle' than 'sports', it will still bite you hard.
Don't drive drunk, but particularly don't drive fast cars you are unfamiliar with while very drunk. 'Something unexpected' is going to happen, you have 3 strikes before you even start.
No. S Cal can't be trusted with water rights to your rivers. If you doubt this, look up the Owens valley. Give them an inch and they will fuck you.
Fortunately all the dry season water rights are gone. But more water in the winter doesn't do S Cal any good. They already let their own water run to the sea all winter.
They've drained more than six feet in a little more than a day, without exceeding the channel capacity of the feather river, much less the Sacramento river.

Not in the central valley. East of the Sierra.
Mature forests release CO2 from decomposing biomass at the same rate as they absorb it.
That is not a net sink.
Sinks are actually putting down new fossil fuels. There are a few swamps that qualify. The Okefenokee is one IIRC.
Reporters get shit wrong all the time. Look at the pictures.
I drove a Honda 600N for a while. It could do 55, down a steep hill with a strong wind at it's back.
Improved my driving immeasurably.
They were engaged. Unless he was a moron 'her pants' were familiar territory.
0.21% is good and drunk, but it's hardly passed out, covered in puke drunk (for a 27 year old).
If 0.21% makes someone a rapist, likely 99% of the world's drinking population (including women) are rapists.
Old joke: Sorority girl mating call 'I'm sooo drunk', fat sorority girl mating call 'I SAID I WAS DRUNK'
Pussyfoot. Stomp that throttle.
Needs, no.
Want's, raises hand. Pretty much any booze can get you to 0.21% Maybe not 3.2% beer.
Boss _and_ engaged.
She had likely been bugging him to drive the Tesla for a while, alcohol and pussy affected his judgement and he let her.

Maybe 'muscle' car, definitely not 'sports'. Too heavy, to say nothing of too many doors and seats for the classic definition.
Sexist.

From 0-60, after that it's all Veyron. The Tesla is quick, not particularly fast.
I believe the record is about 0.8, but that was an (eastern European/Wisconee) where is expressed as 'insufficient blood in their alcohol system'.

Because he was fucking her and she asked. Power of the pussy.

There is no weir on the emergency spillway. It's just over the top of a cofferdam, which was threatening to be undermined.
Because their is no such thing as larger airplanes. If traffic increases they will just use more of the same narrow bodies.
The study you cite by implication is pure political bullshit.
People pan all those rivers after every flood event. Usually in the same place that large strikes were found in historic times.
Further upstream is generally better.
The entire central valley is not remotely a desert.

You can't add a hydro plant after the fact. All dams are at least dual purpose, just one is primary.
