Great, just what the South needs, more good press that will draw yankee and west coast transplants.

From your link:

U.S. distance-based death rate (1.11 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled) was higher than the average rate among 20 other high-income countries (0.92)

We are at a higher rate, almost 20% higher when normalizing for distances driven. But it’s not 2x or 4x higher.

More people drive here and more people drive at high speeds (interstate vs urban driving).

To answer your initial question, we 100% need more stringent training for drivers license and we need parents to teach their kids better. However, lifestyle differences explain the gap and actually make us much closer to the rest of the developed world than initially claimed.

Eta
Has driving ability gotten worse since parents have offloaded drivers training to Drivers Ed and away from the house?

I get about 5-7 per day about my loan that I applied for that I was recent approved.

It’s annoying as shite.

Brother you clearly live a comfortable life if this is what’s bothering you.

The real question to ask is what is the time requirement for grave robbing to transition to archeology?

Mendoza is a better pro prospect, but they might actually improve at QB this year. Hell the entire team is going to be better outside of losing Ponds and Coogan

---

How can you say this realistically? They graduated so many massive contributors and culture guys that were solid to good players, not to mention the 3 elite players you already mentioned. They and Miami were the oldest teams in CFB last year and the Indiana guys had 3+ years in Cig’s system.

I’m not saying Indiana is going to fall off and go 7-5, but there is no way they are better at 20/22 positions.

If you want to electrify the grid and build data centers, there will need to be many more substations all over population centers.

Sorry if you don’t have sirius radio lol

In the era of free or greatly reduced price of streaming apps, the sorry folks are the one that still pay for Sirius Satellite radio.

Honest question, does she make these shots in practice or in warmups? Particularly the outside jump shots?

Humans were better versed in more disciplines back in history than we are today, but we are better in our specialities, on the hole, than the ancients were.

we are dumping carbon into the air and cutting down trees

This is actually false. The earth has increased plant biomass lately
The Earth now has more trees than 35 years ago. It’s has gained the square mile equivalent of a combined Alaska and Texas

so it is in our best interest to know whether we can actually do anything about it, and to predict the impact of the overall change as accurately and as soon as we can.

---

I agree with this, but the models haven’t been even remotely close to accurate yet. They have actually been so far off that they lose substantial credibility and anyone who takes them seriously now and calls for massive economic hardships to appease them is doing so foolishly.

we have been in an ages long climatologically stable period. if that were to end we would really see some severe impact.

If it has been ages long, what makes you think we have any control over it?

How are we impacting the ocean currents?
