Driving drunk is the same, your reaction time is now slower so again three seconds isn’t enough. You don’t have the same control over your body and alertness, so you need to drive even slower and more cautiously.

good tip. keep em coming

I’m glad you keep the roads so safe… for me

right

I guess we all have different risk assessment

knowing the road let’s you know the likelihood a pedestrian it deer will be there

all things being equal, is say they are marginally safer. practice can reduce that margin.

would you rather be the designated driver leaving a bar at 2am knowing you’re in a society that frowns upon drunk driving, but maybe people are well practiced at it, or knowing your in a society that punishes it drastically, so only the most desperate people attempt it?

with all conditions being the same, a sober driver is safer. that’s easy to conceed. driving is an inherently dangerous activity, and drinking and driving can cause a marginal difference. it’s not night and day, and the risk can be reduced with practice.

lack motor skills and impaired brain

can be compensated with basic safe driving. be alert at intersections, give any cars in front of you a three second lead, etc.

and like… knowing the roads you’re driving will make all this safer, especially if you’ve practiced

shunning is awesome.

don’t know if you should shun someone? face or hand brands are pretty effective. and it doesn’t need to be inhumane. numbing agents, pain killers, and after care can be provided.

abolish the state

Sophie, is that you?

drinking and driving isn’t inherently more dangerous than just driving, and it’s a skill you can practice.

if calories-to-price is your metric

it’s a metric for food I buy, and anything less convenient that a gas station hot dog that costs now power calorie is a hard sell. I don’t live on has station hot dogs, but they are, in my opinion, a good standard for convenience food value.

I also drink soylent, which is only like half as good as hotdogs, but the nutrient balance is incredible.

my wife says my spreadsheets are how farmers feed cattle.

I don’t know how this can be verified, nor does it matter at the point of sale

I evaluate basically all my food with what I call “hotdog math”. my wife hates it. my local gas station sells hotdogs at 2/$1. the free toppings can push the calories count near 550, but I know nothing comes close, so I round down to 500. milk beats oatmilk on hotdog math, and carries a wider diversity of nutrients, to boot.

yes, they are.

I do.

it’s not rape. it’s a veterinary procedure

i mean… we’re talking about civil torts here, not constitutional law. i think you can still count on a court to throw this out even with a pro se defense.
