I think it’s a truck for regulatory reasons. Trucks get a pass on a bunch of things that can be a regulatory issue for cars, because of course they do.

They are offering kits to make it a van or SUV. Still no coupe, but better than a truck for many purposes.

By the time most people start pumping gasoline, they are almost past the part of their lives they take many standardized tests in.

This was interesting. Most of these jobs are dangerous because they increase your exposure to car accidents it looks like.

I had heard that most police officers deaths are from car accidents, but this says “violence by other people or animals”. Must be just their category name, not because animals are a significant danger. That category is shared with one other profession in the top 25 most dangerous, supervisor of mechanics at number 19. I guess bossing around people with a lot of potentially dangerous tools at hand goes bad fairly often.

Heavy things can bounce if they have the right properties. That ball looked to be going somewhere between 5-10 mph and that guy went down fast. That momentum had to come from the ball, and that ball has to weigh considerably more than he does to hit with that much force at that speed.

No, their response did not validate that. In fact, they said the words “it’s not technically illegal”. There is a possibly illegal way to go about it, and a legal way, and no way to prove the difference, but that doesn’t equal technically illegal.

I didn’t feel you deserved the downvotes for your first question, provided it was in good faith. You’re right, like all common misconceptions, it’s best to present clear data wherever we can.

True, but by a different mechanism. Immune memory was not involved in their continued resistance.

If your set starts with the Magician’s Nephew, move it to second from last. Read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe first. The Magician’s Nephew is chronologically first, but the wrong order to tell the story. Which is why the author didn’t put it first.

It all makes sense if you read Magician’s Nephew first, but it removes mystery from the others. And the reveal of the events in Magician’s Nephew was more exciting after reading most of the rest of the series, instead of being the intro to that universe. It takes some of the magic out of the series. As someone who has read most of C.S. Lewis’s books more than once, I’m pretty confident he’d be pissed about it.

Spoilers below, it is a pretty good series, read it. But also, do not start with the Magician’s Nephew. It is chronologically first, so some publisher changed it after the author died, use the original order.
