I wonder if a boulevard EL might be cheaper. Maybe even connect it to MFL at Oxford circle.

Or tear up the medians in the boulevard and do protected surface rail/trolleys right down the medians

Iirc breeona Taylor's boyfriend wasn't charged for that exact reason

If so good for him

First time I ever gave blood the red cross nurse lady was STUPID HOT. Like this gorgeous dark wavy hair, eyes you could get lost in, huge... "tracts of land" incredibly soft skin etc etc.

And I'm 18. So she goes to take my pulse and she's like right up on me and I'm doing the "think about math so you don't imagine ripping her scrubs off and just banging her silly right here on the folding table fuck it's not working holy shit she's hot" thing and she's like "your pulse is kinda high, are you ok?" And I'm 18 and being all "don't picture those full lips kissing you and doing other stuff. Oh fuck now that's all I can fucking think about" and croak out a "yeah?"

And fortunately her male coworker overhears and is like "hey let me try and take his pulse and immediately right back in the normal range.

That motherfucker knew

Sometimes, poker is a good example, assuming you're playing with a 52 card deck and there's 5 people playing and you're 4 flushing and waiting for the river to hit. You'd think that since you're 4 flushing your odds of hitting the flush are 1 in 4 since the river card can be 1 of 4 suits.

But it's actually slightly less because if you're 4 flushing then that means a disproportionate number of your suit were already played.

It doesn't throw it off MUCH (so if you're 4 flushing you should probably chase it, especially if you're pocket suited) but it is LESS than the 1 in 4

I mean the FASTEST way to stop any car would presumably be to hit something that's well anchored like a wall or a tree.

Barring that I'd imagine immediately throwing a car into park and slamming the brakes and throwing the e-brake would do it but also destroy your car

This. The odds of rolling 6 6s in a row are pretty n low (like less than 1/1000). But once you've rolled 5 6s in a row the odds that the next one will be a 6 are 1/6.

Probability only looks forward

In addition to all the reasons listed above: usually by the time a case goes to trial if it hasn't been plead out or dismissed the DA has the guy dead to rights.

Like I remember one where I was a witness where the guy had called in prank bomb threats to avoid bunch of schools (i was there to testify that we'd had to evacuate the building) and like they had the guy's cell records, 3 people who could ID his voice, and a guy who rolled on him.

At the end of the day the DA struck a deal on lesser charges just to avoid a trial

And I suppose heat shielding still adds to the weight and there's no way to ditch the extra shielding before you're air/spaceborne

Well yeah but we're assuming increased gravity so the weight of the fuel makes that prohibitive. I'm saying if you had that restriction I think you could get around it (inefficiently) by using a separate ground based 1st stage to get closer to that 27000 kmh without having to carry the fuel on the "1st stage"

I mean didn't the amerikabomber do a horizontal first stage and then use aerodynamics to gain altitude without fuel usage and then skip across the atmosphere?

My thinking is that you swap out the bomb bay for a 2nd stage rocket and fire that at the apogee to get into orbit.

Couldn't you get around that by doing a ground-based acceleration stage? I'm thinking basically a big-ass track on the ground that you could use to accelerate the second stage (using idk magnets, or even just like a detachable rocket sled) So that by the time you ignite the 2nd stage you're already going X speed without the rocket using any fuel? I mean you could also presumably use a big-ass cannon but the acceleration would turn the astronauts into people salsa presumably

You think a lot of black guys are getting 11 months for manslaughter in the first place?

Not to mention the aggravating factor that the murderer in question was law enforcement and should thus be held to a higher standard
