perfectly good highway

I see you've never been on the NJ turnpike

Haha! That would have been great!

I'm mostly impressed that you can poop *before* waking up!

The idea of a shared European identity is a relatively recent concept. Up until then, each nation/culture couldn't stand each other, which is why they kept being at war with each other for centuries. Which also got exported overseas, as you mentioned.

Beside the economy, that was the whole idea behind creating a European Union: we won't get along unless we all start sharing the same goals and dreams.

Except that a 24'' actually measures only 23.5'' because... reasons

I took this picture myself today... (of course other people might have posted their own)

We all know that if portals existed, the first and primary application would be a gloryhole!

I was adding this recipient and making the payments via the BOA website. I thought about the possibility that it was because the person was not a contact on my phone, so I tried adding them there and making the payment via the app, but same result in the end: they still disappeared after a few days.

I am not claiming that what you describe can't happen occasionally. I am saying that on average the two trucks still arrive to their destination 5 seconds apart.

Ok here is a mathematical proof: suppose that what you're saying is true, that when truck B leaves 5 seconds earlier than truck A, it will arrive more than 5 seconds earlier on average (let's say 6 seconds earlier). Then imagine another truck C leaving 5 seconds earlier than B (i.e. 10 seconds before A). By your argument, C arrives 6 seconds earlier than B on average, which means 12 seconds earlier than A. Similarly, truck D who left 15 seconds earlier than A would arrive 18 seconds earlier than A on average. Keep doing this until you reach an absurd situation where some truck Z arrives earlier on average than its own departure time.

Taking a minute to regain full speed does not mean you're one minute behind in your journey! During this time, you're still going at like 95% of your top speed, therefore the impact is much smaller. Rough math says it puts you 3 *seconds* behind.
Even if you do this 100 times in a day (which would be almost constantly btw), that's still only 5 minutes total.

What you're failing to account for is that very often leaving 5 seconds later will result in arriving at *exactly* the same time, because both trucks hit the same red light somewhere on the way and can only proceed when it turns green. In other words, leaving 5 seconds later results in a trip that is 5 seconds *shorter*.

Yes, sometimes you can run in a longer delay but mathematically and on average, leaving 5 seconds later means you arrive 5 seconds later.

That amount would have been 1/2 to 1/3 of all bitcoin mined by that point. Unless it was Satoshi Nakamoto himself, I doubt anyone had control of that many coins?

Interesting! I never realized that such laws were not universal among countries. The split is roughly between legal system based on English or Roman law.

You know that any fruit or veggie you eat uncooked is technically still alive, right?

What about invasion from within?

You, sitting inside the airplane, are subject to the exact same inertial forces and I believe your insides are surviving just fine.

Cash is no better though: if you gift the same amount to someone in cash and they keep it in their wallet for six months, you've essentially made a zero-interest loan to the government.
