I mean museums exist. You don't need to be a psycho to admire history, machinery, engineering, and ballistics. I don't collect guns, but some of the collectors are reasonable.

Who knows, that may be a part of why. Sudden, horrific, unprecedented loss and suffering can either galvanize a war or take the wind out of its sails. Guess they won the coin toss this time.
But, it's worth noting that peace is maintained by a small handful of people desperately working to keep it together. War is easy, peace is always the hard part.

10 hour days for 4 days a week has consistent and repeatable results.
3 days for more than 10 hours in any fast food join or restaurant kitchen is suicide.

These headlines have gotten incredibly bizarre over the past year.
Like, this is the scifi shit we thought would exist 30-40 years ago. Nanomachines and shit.
We're hitting ABSURD strides with medicine. And they're speeding up!

Don't just touch grass, people.

The fact that modern cars aren't more thoroughly streamlined is still silly to me.
Give me a giant pill, man. Screw the aesthetics.

Air resistance ruins gas efficiency past 55 mph, it worsens quickly any higher.
Highway speed is better MPG due to (as I recall) other cars already cutting that air for you, essentially paving a less resistant path through the air, making that travel at higher speeds more efficient. So it's not so much the speed, but cars in front of you cutting currents through it to make it easier.
In general, the lower the speed, the less air resistance, the greater the efficiency.
At really low speeds, like 5 mph or whatever, you're burning more gas than you're using to move the car, energy wasted. 35 mph is the first generalized "sweet spot" and the next is 55 mph.
