So basically you don't cycle much and you mostly use the same route. This does not work if you make bike tours into unknown places. I find my turn by turn GPS navigation very helpful when I do the 60 miles on a single day, exploring the surroundings, and mounted on the handlebar the voice output of the navigation is loud enough so I don't have to look at the screen. I do not know where you live, but here in Germany towns often are a mess of small alleys of, apparently, non-Euclidian geometry, very easy to get lost.
One of the more frequent causes for a deadly airplane crash is a spatial disorientation of the pilot. The vestibular system is distorted in flight and if the visibility is low, there is no chance for a human to determine the current position in space without instruments.
Well, it was really not a computer issue, but a broken sensor that, for some reason, was not replaced by the techs on the ground. Garbage in - garbage out.
"Despite the struggles of both pilots to save the aircraft, it was later concluded that if they had just let go of the control column, the autopilot would have automatically taken action to prevent stalling, thus avoiding the accident"
Well, i honestly liked Windows Mobile a lot - the old one, not the winphone crap. I am also okay with Windows 7 and I love C#. And in the real life I develop embedded Linux software. Cross-compiling from Windows:-P
How is having to have a ticket at all equivalent to having government thugs harass people? I think the issue of tickets should be between you and the owner(s) of the property, anyway.
No shit, Sherlock. Government roads - governent rules. You can drive drunk on your property and nobody would give a rat's fart about it. And, of course, you won't be harassed bo the government.
So they were asking for it? If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear? All these people were simply guilty?
Yup. When it comes to car drivers, all of them are guilty. Towns belong to people, not to drivers.
There's a nice country called "North Korea" that might be right up your alley...
And in that spirit, there is a nice country called "Somalia". Lots and lots of freedom there and no government at all. Might be something for you.
Well, the means that some anarchists (of the real deal) have chosen, weren't nice as well. There were a lot of anarchist terrorist (by the actual meaning of the word terrorism) organisations in tsarist Russia. The Black Banner is a good example.
Well, duh, you usually need a ticket for a bus, train or plane. And yes, there are people who check for the tickets indiscriminately.
Besides, if people were, in fact, innocent, there would be no need to harass them. But, unfortunately, since so many of them take the traffic law as a suggestion, not as a rule, innocent people on the roads are a tiny minority.
Decades? Social insurance and (more or less universal) health care in Germany go back to 1880ies and were, in fact, a part of a broader anti-socialist program.
Of course they are radiating. Otherwise "criticality" would not be possible. It just means that there is so much fissile material that a sufficient amount of neutrons released in a fission will cause another fission. Decay occurs in every radioactive isotope - they are named "radioactive" for a reason.
Reading comprehension fail? "The main by-product" doesn't mean "the only by-product". There is a lot of dangerous crap in there (Caesium, Strontium, Technetium) besides depleted uranium.
That was true a few years ago, but not anymore. Nexus 4 has got no replaceable battery. Neither has HTC One, many Sony phones and the top of the line Nokia phones. In fact, of the larger brands, I think only LG and Samsung still offer phones with a replaceable battery.
And only in the case of Sony it makes some sense because their phones are often IP54/55 and higher. In fact my Acro S has survived a dive into a rain barrell without even rebooting or being dried afterwards.
Not just due to harsher sentences but also due to harsher crimes. The US murder rate is four times as high as the UK murder rate and almost 6 times as high as the German one.
The number of drug offences is way higher in Germany, that skews the statictics, as you can see in this comparison
Ah, the internet tough guy. Basically you are saying that you live in a shithole where the roads are in disrepair, muggers possess firearms and you got lucky. And this is the reason why you think of yourself being something better than the "sheep"? A sheperd dog? Really? Well, okay. Sit. Good doggie.
Well, neither can I walk down the street and threaten someone with a weapon. What I say is, if you think you are safe because you are armed, you are fatally wrong. If someone plans to attack you, and has a reason to assume that you are armed, you won't receive a threat, you will be shot. If it can be safely assumed that you are not armed, you will be just threatened.
Exactly that is the idea. If you are willing to use a firearm, you will probably be shot first, just to be sure. An armed society is anything but a polite society, as Liberia, former Yugoslavia and many more countries have shown.

I'd rather have a computer flying the airplane I am sitting in, than a hairless ape.
Drivers kill humans.

And what kind of argument is that? "Around here everyone is a cannibal. We can figure out how we want to run things among ourselves".
I personally was hit by a car more than once - always hit and run. Is this the kind of people you are?
Well, i honestly liked Windows Mobile a lot - the old one, not the winphone crap. I am also okay with Windows 7 and I love C#. And in the real life I develop embedded Linux software. Cross-compiling from Windows :-P
Not rightly, self-importantly. Drivers kill people, they usurp the roads, fill the cities with the seas of sheet metal and poison the air.

Russia in early nineties, Liberia during the civil war and many more. This is how anarchy looks like in real life.

That was a good one. Corruption is rampant in Bavaria.
You have to differ between what most people would prefer and how it always happens in reality.
Then walk. You don't even need a license for that.

Ever heard of "Han shot first"?
Two words to disprove you: campus police.
