IQ is an attempt to represent a persons problem solving abilities with a single number. This is bullshit, because intelligence isn't that simple. There's different kinds of intelligence. Some people are better at some kinds of intelligence, while others have their strenghts in other areas.

Sure, but the roads the enemy is using are a vast minority of all the roads out there, constrained to certain geographical areas. If one happens to be in the middle of it, they'll have bigger concerns than whether to invest in a bike or a horse.

If it's the apocalypse, then everyone will be desperate.

Eh, depends on if we go out with a bang or a whimper. I'm betting it's going to be the latter.

If not, then it's likely that nukes put a stop to the artilleryfest before it has a chance to really get going. And my point about there being a lot of roads in the world still stands. No military would start to target roads in any meaningful scale when they're going to save their precious shells for the enemy.

There's a lot more roads than there are cars to fill them and the good thing about bikes is that if you can get past an obstacle on foot, you can carry your bike while doing so. Even if the major highways get blocked by the occasional massive pileup that you can't climb over while carrying your bike, you can always take the smaller road. And where would all the craters come from? How many artillery batteries and mortar companies do you expect to see in the post-apocalypse?

As long as there's roads or smooth paths left, an ordinary person can do 200 km in a day on a bicycle. A quick search tells me that specifically trained horses can do 160 km in an endurance race. Sure a horse would probably be the fastest in a sprint, but a bicycle has the best travel speed.

One of the victims - all aged 16 or 17 - had a hand cut off and another had their skull split open.

All the wounded people were brought to hospital and none were in danger for their life, the source added.

That seems very lucky. Damn.

A person can be rich in many ways. A coral reef is rich in biodiversity etc.

The rich refers to the group of people who are financially rich to an obscene extent.

Not sure, but I think the last line is a suitable commonality to be called a template name.

Instead of spamming this same text everywhere, you should get a formal education in physics and/or engineering and then get back to this idea of yours to see if it's any good. Right now it just appears like schizophrenic rambling.

I'm not sure how you managed to misunderstand, but by disruptions I was referring to precisely the kind of disruptions of the lives of ordinary people that - and I'm sure we can at least agree on this - they have quite successfully caused.

Our two parallel discussions are about the methods of protesting against the use of fossil fuels. Our discussions here exists because of JSO. It got you thinking about what should be done to get rid of the use of fossil fuels, even if this was just for the purposes of making counterarguments.

It's looking at the camera like that because we were engaged in dialogue (I whistled to it every time it sang)
