    Well, that explains a lot.



    If the moon landing had been faked there would have had to be literally thousands of people in on it. It would've been blown wide open right from the start.

    I love how the film crew is clearly cgi but the centre action is not.

    Acceleration is the killer, the actual speed has nothing to do with it.

    Correct, Acceleration is a vector, it has both magnitude and direction.

    Anyone who has ever done physics, or seen Despicable Me.

    Best line in that entire film.

    Well what do you know.... the original post talks about British Columbia.... well they are about to increase their speed limits. Apparently they decided to pay attention to the facts.

    the police is supposed to enforce what the politicians legislate............

    we vote for the politicians...

    thus we should be able to dictate, or at least influence legislation.......

    unfortunately for us, in NZ we have a them"know better "vs us "do as you are told" culture...

    definitely not the best way of pretending to be democratic

    and also definitely not the only way democracies function.
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....
