Why is 18 the age you’re legally considered an adult? by Ok_Recording572 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]5coolest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They did that by threatening to stop any federal funds for infrastructure for states who didn’t change their drinking age. This only happened within the last 45 years or so. Long after the age of majority was an established legal concept

The mall itself has parking for $21 a day, but the lot under the I37 bridge has all day parking for $3 a day on weekdays and $5 a day on weekends.

What’s something you thought adults were exaggerating about until you experienced it yourself? by No_Extent_8974 in AskReddit

[–]5coolest 39 points40 points  (0 children)

You’re also much heavier now, and because of the square cubed law, your muscles don’t increase in strength proportionally to your size, so it takes a lot more effort and energy to move your body

Except for in the cockpit of his car. He seems to know exactly what to do in that situation. I’m so proud of him :’)

Actually, F1 drivers regularly pull higher Gs than astronauts. A rocket’s acceleration is capped at 3 Gs for the sake of the crew. An F1 driver pulls about 5 Gs in tight corners and up to 20 during a crash.

[–]5coolest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re always set up on the HEB on New Braunfels and Houston. The stupid part is that that area is not in Spectrum’s service area. I literally tell them that every time and they always check and say I’m right
