A lot of speed limits are designed around the banking on the roads in turns, lighting, and other factors. Speed limits are not just posted to generate revenue. --- --- MaverickXeo --- |
| Topic | Do you usually speed when driving? |
| MaverickXeo 09/14/17 11:01:10 PM #65 | I used to speed... now I sit in the right lane doing just over the limit. No need to go any faster, even with my 200KM daily commute, speeding doesn't make sense at all. More gas mileage, more risk for tickets, and it does not cut down on the time significantly overall. Going this speed basically means no one is ever really around me for long, so I pretty much have the whole road to myself. --- --- MaverickXeo --- |

| Topic | No one is going to get out of bed to fight climate change |
| MaverickXeo 09/03/17 12:47:37 PM #5 | tennisdude818 posted... No first world country can politically handle a reduction in government deficits and spending even though entitlements are doomed. And some democrats think climate change is a winning platform? The idea that the climate will supposedly be very different in 100 years (or fossil fuels will be gone in the year 2xxx) is supposed to mobilize people to make sacrifices, but don't touch my social security, math be damned. Al Gore has yet to be right. Every 'prediction' he has made thus far has been nothing but fear mongering. --- --- MaverickXeo --- |

She's not technically wrong there. That is true; but what she said has nothing to do with this statement. We need to look at all sides of conflict and ideals; not just one. --- --- MaverickXeo --- |
| Topic | Wow, gas went up 30 cents a gallon overnight |
| MaverickXeo 08/31/17 9:48:54 PM #18 | It jumped 10c/L here, which is funny, because when the price jumps, its because of something immediate. Also when the price jumps its because of something that happened months ago (or so the oil companies say). So basically, if you sneeze, the price goes up. --- --- MaverickXeo --- |

That said, I gather you are trolling at this point. --- --- MaverickXeo --- |

MaverickXeo posted...As far as I know, many places do not allow it as its very dangerous; it may be 'legal' but not advisable and many LEOs will stop it from happening. Nope, I am not saying that at all. Most vehicles on the road today have power brakes and steering. Those that do not are actually designed to run without those things and thus are able to operate easier (through a higher ratio steering setup, or other things.) --- --- MaverickXeo --- |

MaverickXeo posted...and illegal most everywhere As far as I know, many places do not allow it as its very dangerous; it may be 'legal' but not advisable and many LEOs will stop it from happening. You have no power steering as there is nothing to turn the pump. There is nothing to provide vacuum to the brakes to provide power brakes. You are not able to maintain control of the vehicle because you cannot turn or stop easily and have to be in pretty good sync with the lead car. If the event of an emergency maneuver, things get ugly fast. --- --- MaverickXeo --- |

| Topic | Why a Universal Basic Income would be a calamity |
| MaverickXeo 08/19/17 1:38:18 PM #118 | Questionmarktarius posted... MaverickXeo posted...So a 25% of the federal budget to a UBI? What will raise the funds to do so every year? The issue though is that if a UBI were implemented, the min wage would have to go up as well (so people would be motivated to work) or else more people would want the UBI. With min wage going up, the cost of all goods goes up, meaning that the UBI has to go up. This will lead to a cycle where the UBI will always be catching up to both the min wage and cost increases. --- --- MaverickXeo --- |
| Topic | Why a Universal Basic Income would be a calamity |
| MaverickXeo 08/19/17 1:29:36 PM #116 | luigi13579 posted... I'm kind of conflicted about it, but not because I am against it in theory or think governments wouldn't be able to afford it. It's more that, if automation does lead to mass unemployment, UBI would just be a sticking plaster, and a lot of people, even low-middle earners would actually be worse off. In the event that does come to pass, I think there'd need to be a rethink on the entire economic system. So a 25% of the federal budget to a UBI? What will raise the funds to do so every year? THAT is the problem with UBI. There is no feasible way to do one without having a large increase in taxation, making the UBI worthless. --- --- MaverickXeo --- |

| Topic | Do you usually change your own oil in your car? |
| MaverickXeo 08/11/17 1:01:17 AM #13 | faramir77 posted... No. I might as well save myself the trouble by just taking it into a drive-thru oil change where they also do a thorough check of the vehicle while they're at it. I generally only get 2 oil changes per year anyway. Those 'thorough' checks are not good at all. You are better doing it yourself, then you can look for things you are actually able to check on. --- --- MaverickXeo --- |

| MaverickXeo 08/07/17 7:23:05 PM #16 | Transcendentia posted... It is not completely right. The software already exists and is improving every day. The cost of the hardware is a few grand for a brand new Tesla. It's getting cheaper every year. The cost of the software is distributed across millions of vehicles, so it's cheap per car. The vehicles will not drive better than humans because... humans program them. There will always be faults in the programming because we are not perfect, therefore our products will never be perfect. --- --- MaverickXeo --- |

It is... completely right. And as it is now, driverless vehicles are being 'hacked' by painting white lines on roads, or covering stop signs. These are basic things that do not affect the average driver, but are huge deals for driverless vehicles. Lets also not forget that they will need to communicate with one another... communication = open connections = ability to take control of remotely. --- --- MaverickXeo --- |
