It also strongly encourages people to return their ballots in person likely because the GOP is already set to challenge mail-in ballots as "rigged".

That's why they're trying to take power. Billionaires would rather destroy the world and drive all life to extinction than to give up their private jets and yachts.

It's not a "community", it's one person making all the posts because I guess they wanted to make hating Linux their entire personality. 🤷

Buying a social media network: $40 billion

Buying a US election: $0.13 billion

Democracy is fucked.

What do you mean, corporations that have a legal obligation to maximize value for shareholders weren't passing money on to consumers out of the goodness of their hearts? Nobody could have seen that coming! /S

As much as I hate to say "wait for technology to solve the problem", driverless cars would massively improve both congestion and parking (the other thing bike lanes interfere with) in cities. I hope some company that isn't run by a drooling memelord can actually deliver and provide real disruption to the transportation world.

I hope cyclists start riding together slowly in large groups in the middle of traffic lanes such that cars can't get around them, as they are legally entitled to do.

Yup, also American automakers get plenty of subsidies and bailouts from the government too. It was always about not wanting to make electric cars. 🤷

I find it ironic that the federal government sends out carbon tax rebate cheques and the majority of people hate it, but the provincial government sends out random cheques and the majority of people are going to eat it up.

I'd like to preemptively note that both cheques are in fact sourced from taxes. 🤷

I think you need to be more explicit about what you mean by "not dependent on time". Setting t = 1 for that formula doesn't eliminate time, it means you're advancing time by 1 unit for every iteration of the formula defined by the units used to measure the velocity and acceleration (i.e. if v and u are measured in meters/second and a is meters/second^2 then t = 1 means you are modelling 1 second passing).

If you mean deterministic as in there are no outside influences, instead you'd want to take the distance the object needs to travel before it hits something in it's current trajectory then work backward to find out how much time it would take to cover that distance at the current velocity and acceleration.
