knowing the road let's you know the likelihood a pedestrian it deer will be there

all things being equal, is say they are marginally safer. practice can reduce that margin.

would you rather be the designated driver leaving a bar at 2am knowing you're in a society that frowns upon drunk driving, but maybe people are well practiced at it, or knowing your in a society that punishes it drastically, so only the most desperate people attempt it?

with all conditions being the same, a sober driver is safer. that's easy to conceed. driving is an inherently dangerous activity, and drinking and driving can cause a marginal difference. it's not night and day, and the risk can be reduced with practice.

shunning is awesome.

don't know if you should shun someone? face or hand brands are pretty effective. and it doesn't need to be inhumane. numbing agents, pain killers, and after care can be provided.

abolish the state

Sophie, is that you?

if calories-to-price is your metric

it's a metric for food I buy, and anything less convenient that a gas station hot dog that costs now power calorie is a hard sell. I don't live on has station hot dogs, but they are, in my opinion, a good standard for convenience food value.

I also drink soylent, which is only like half as good as hotdogs, but the nutrient balance is incredible.

my wife says my spreadsheets are how farmers feed cattle.

I don't know how this can be verified, nor does it matter at the point of sale

just wanna second what @[email protected] said. you're awesome.

i'd say "keep up the good work" but like you deserve a break.
