Statistics or no, I'd have an uncle if he had been wearing a helmet when he got clipped by a car. In the early 70s, it was the macho thing to do to not wear a helmet, and that cost him his life.
At that point, it's simply a calculation of "Do I wait an hour for an available car, spend 40 minutes and take the bus, or spend 30 minutes and take the bike?"
I would add to dear Cicero that a secret law is no law. The whole idea behind laws, if we're going back to Babylonian times, was that human beings were savages, and needed a code that the authorities could point to. "See, here's the list of shit you can't do."
If a law is secret, how the hell are you supposed to comply?
Why would you expect any investigation/impeachment over this, when you have an administration of demonstrable war criminals whom Congress is totally unwilling to impeach?
Sort of makes you wonder; if a computer can figure out Go, how far from that point is real AI?
There was a line in Shibumi- something to the effect that Go isn't a metaphor for life, life is a metaphor for Go.

Temperance now! We must prohibit this sinful act of listening to music! We'll get to dancing next.
I, for one, welcome our fur standard advocating overlords!
Didn't the Supreme Court decide in some medical marijuana case that Interstate Commerce basically entails anything anybody does anywhere?

Two laptops per child!

That's what I don't get. Isn't there something in the Constitution about how ex post facto laws are verboten? Does that not apply to a regulation?
Perhaps that's a feature, not a bug.
Damned ents with their NAND operator...
Maybe they refuse to return our calls.
