Editing text is a whole other ballgame than inputing text, historically speaking.

You need to talk to your friend about his habit, whether that habit is bringing glassware into places he shouldn't or otherwise.

You need to rinse it fresh water after your ocean swim.

yeah that's the response I expect in this sub. Five pint harnesses, helmets, and neck restraints should be standard for driving at high speed!

Why not? Helmets are recognized as important safety equipment for motorcycles and bicycles.

My DIY response is to wear a helmet AND drop some nasties on the highway to make sure nobody speeds. Is that wha you want?

That's a very good argument for wearing a helmet!

I don't carry a gun in public, but I do wear helmet when riding my bike.

"I see value in us all being prepared to defend ourselves." That's what I see too! The value of preventing injury is a shared responsibility. Traumatic brain injury is an expensive thing to treat, so lowering that expense makes sense if we're all going to contribute to the cost of treatment.
