It's a nice thought, but it has so many modifiers it's pretty much worthless. Everything from road conditions, to time of day or night, to the size and weight and type of vehicle you are driving, to how old you are affects stopping distance and the interval you should be leaving.

Remember children - Driving should never be "relaxing." It's real work and demands your total concentration to protect yourself and everyone around you. So put the phone down and even turn off the radio. Put your head on a swivel like a fighter pilot. And have an escape plan for every inch you drive.

The issue isn't "I don't want to be cold." The problem is when it's below 20F/-7C, you need to wait long enough for the coolant to warm enough to evaporate the moisture in the defrost vents and the inside of the windshield. Otherwise the inside of the windshield frosts over and you can't see well enough to drive safely. And the colder it gets, the longer it takes.

Do you need remote start? Nope. I don't have it on my vehicles. But you will need to wait long enough to keep the windshield defrosted.

I use Phind solving computer problems. It does cite the sources it uses. At least for distro and general Linux issues. So far, it's been a very good resource when I've needed it.

Just a curious question - Is there any VR sets that work with Linux Distros? I'm not much of a gamer to need or want one. Just want to learn for learning's sake.

I'm not a doctor, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn last night. But no real medical professional would ever publicly confirm any actual diagnosis due to HIPPA concerns. What save you also saves him.

But, feel free to speculate all you want to. HIPPA doesn't cover speculation by non-medical people.

There is rail and I'm pretty sure Russia still has plenty of cargo/transport planes that would be capable.

.500S&W and .50 Browning would like a word.....

Because steel is cheap and "good enough" for whatever Starship's application is. Titanium would be lighter but far, far, more expensive. And the cost of the titanium would probably out weight the extra fuel costs.

Evidently even MAGA has a limit on electing stupid.........It kind if shocks me to learn that.

Joke's on the surgeon - prostrate surgery is done through the penis with a laser.

Source: I've had 3 prostrate surgeries.

The point is, you COULD run a marathon if that's what you decide to do. But you would need to learn something new and frankly most people are too lazy to do so. And I can often fall squarely into that just like most. But I'm under no illusions that it's my lazy choice to not run a marathon.

aka most people in general
