- Comment on The most unrealistic part of Odyssey is the journey taking 20 years 17 hours ago:
No argument there. I’m very glad to have GPS whenever I’ve been on a boat, but if I absolutely had to, the BSA taught me to use a compass and astrolabe with a current chart.

Seems to be decent at the sailing part. Navigation doesn’t seem to be even a minor part of his bailiwick

That’s just in the files.
- Comment on Saab or Your mom 1 week ago:
As far as I’m aware, they did tons of market research and weren’t ever able to pin down their “target demographic.”
SAAB was a BMW for a lower sticker price.

It is folded down, but that’s always been the beauty of a hatchback. You can fold the seat down to extend the trunk.
- Comment on Saab or Your mom 1 week ago:
I’m 6’3" (193cm) tall. I can lay down and use that trunk as a not terribly uncomfortable bed. That’s how my first GF and I would go to various theme parks, and stay overnight for free. Just throw one of those foam “egg crate” mattress things in the back with a few blankets, and you’re good to go.
- Comment on Saab or Your mom 1 week ago:
There were engineering reasons for those decisions. The ignition on the floor was because they found that the starter worked better when the ignition was positioned next to the transmission column. I don’t remember why the fan belts were there, but it may have had to do with the rotation of the engine block.

Phoenix has all their weather in Late Aug through Early Sep, in the form of monsoons and haboobs. Then again in late Jan through early Feb, in the form of frost and a light dusting of snow that immediately melts.

- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 2 weeks ago:
Sure, but they wrote 120.5 guns per person, and I don’t think we have a stockpile that amounts to 48,000,000,000 weapons. I could believe there are 480,000,000 privately owned weapons in the US, hence my correction/confusion.
- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 2 weeks ago:
I think that should be 1.205 guns per person, or 120.5 guns per hundred people. I know we have some people with massive collections, but I’ve never met someone with literally 10s of thousands of guns. Also the people that own a few hundred are skewing the statistics. We aren’t actually all armed.

Not really. For profit jails and prisons charge inmates a daily fee for being there.

Muffler is probable a.$20 fix, if you do it yourself. They hanged them from what amounts to two really thick rubber bands. There are two hooks on the muffler and two on the car. That should stop the bouncing.

I could tell it wasn’t Vintage Story from the Ore.
- Comment on Is this a scam or am I being paranoid? And if so, what kind of scam is this? 3 weeks ago:
They are trying to get you to deposit a counterfeit check. It most likely wouldn’t clear your bank, but if it did, you end up on the hook for the entire amount of the check with no money, and they get the amount that you sent “back” to them.
- Comment on Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground? 3 weeks ago:
Huh, I guess I’ve been lucky only lived in tornado alley for 15-20 years, and in just a 7 year span I saw multiple F-0 to F-1s, what I’m pretty sure was an F-3, and a confirmed F-4. I’d rather deal with earthquakes and high housing costs, than ever see one of those terrors again. Thankfully no where I lived got hit directly, as you said their impact is small, but terrifying for a couple mile radius.
- Comment on A Ripple in Space 3 weeks ago:
Well it’s tiny! 9.8 × 8.4 × 5.6 km. It doesn’t have enough mass to be spherical. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if most of the moons of Saturn and Jupiter are weirdly shaped.
Just take a look at the moons of Mars, they are both just big rocks.

Sharks are also older than wall, but cannot traverse them. This is why you jump sharks, rather than walk them.
