They suggest a 30+ for everyone nearly everywhere if you don't want to look like a leather sack at 70.

Reply to comment by Acrobatic-Echidna-61 in [OC] Percent of American teens with a driver’s license by year by worriedshuffle
Naw. She's 40. Some people just don't have reflexes for driving and know it. Some people do it anyway and those are the people you see who get 30 fender benders. Also by not driving she saves us probably 10 grand a year in insurance, gas, and auto maintenance. We live in a small town anyway, so driving is pretty much unimportant.
My dad did say that I would be a taxi for the rest of my life when I told him she didn't drive, but also he married someone 30 years younger than him to be his nurse maid for the rest of his life, so he's a bit of a hypocrite.

It is known that Millennials hate driving. Half of my younger peers growing up didn't even bother. They just made their parents or boyfriends drive them around. This is now me, driving my SO around.

That's probably when they started forcing usage too on all new windows installs. And even with that, 90% of the time edge is opened so you can download Chrome, Brave, or Firefox.

Poor impulse control leads to weight gain, I've always figured. But do the parents also have poor impulse control?

Sadly a lot of studies have found that Mars doesn't have enough gravity to actually hold an atmosphere.

Reply to At what point do you expect surface combatant ships to become obsolete? Is there any paticular key system thay might be the cause of this obsolescence? by BluntBastard
I mean if they can launch missiles from hundreds of miles off shore, I don't see why they would ever become obsolete unless combat moves entirely off planet or somehow we all declare permanent peace. (space fighting is more likely sigh)

Ask him when he's going to replace your old position.

Reply to comment by g0ing_postal in UIUC Researchers propose a new way to get fresh water from seawater, without the disadvantages of traditional desalination. They say that a vertical “capture surface” that is 210 m wide and 100 m tall, could extract enough vapor floating above warm oceans to supply 500,000 people with freshwater by lughnasadh
Yeah, and demand for fresh potable water is only likely to grow.
However thawing meltwaters from glaciers and icepacks may counter out some of that salinity. I'm not quite up on the ocean science for that though at present.

It honestly might work. But it's not being developed by him, a lot smarter people are thinking about it. If you accelerate smoothly you wouldn't even feel it.
