A tire patch kit is less than $10. You could have fixed that in your driveway in a few minutes.

Dear Canada,

Please don't.

Sincerely,

Yeah, pretty sure you're right. Though I'll admit I've forgotten much more than I know on the topic.

Mad cow disease is caused by prions from dead cow brains infecting the healthy brains of living cows. It's kind of the cow equivalent of Kuru.

It's definitely a G-force thing. If I remember correctly from Mythbusters, the human limit is about 10 Gs before losing consciousness, 15 Gs before suffering internal organ damage, and about 20 Gs before instant death.

Yeah, Costco is surprisingly not scummy under its current leadership. They and Arizona are the only two I don't have any major issues with.

Most modern means of electricity production involve creating heat in some way, then using that heat to boil water, creating steam. That steam is then used to turn a turbine, which generates electricity.

There was never any need for the eagle debate. In the books, the idea of the eagles is explicitly rejected by Gandalf because it would have been too obvious and too risky. Sauron would surely see them riding the eagles, and the eagles could have been corrupted by the ring's power.

Ok then, it sounds like you think the only way to improve society is to replace its members with ones who are "more sensible," as defined by you. Sorry, but I'm not sure how to help you with that one either.

It sounds like you're saying the only way to better a society is to replace all its members with ones who already agree with you. If so, I'm not real sure how to help you. Good luck with that.

No clue, actually. I know you can sort based on votes, but I've never thought about how the main feed works. I'll have to look it up later, if I can remember

It would certainly be effective once you brought it into action. The problem I had when testing this was that it's kind of small and difficult to find in a hurry with your eyes closed. It's also easy to confuse a pen or similarly shaped object for it. The escape tool is very easy to find. I've never actually tested breaking glass with either, but I've seen enough videos about car thieves to be convinced of the effectiveness of both.
