I saw it in mid April. Walked right in at the scheduled time. But I did feel that was anomalous. Both d’Orsay and Louvre should really be capping daily entrants - it’s becoming a significant waste to go when you’re 5-10 meters away with a c

Life span is increasing very marginally. You are probably referring to life expectancy, which has been increasing. Life span is how old a human is capable of living. This number has not changed much in hundreds or thousands of years. Life e

Maybe their reputations weren’t all that impressive to begin with. In any case, “allowing” is doing some heavy lifting there. No one is allowing anything. This is just how a society with mostly free expression works. Are people not supposed

I’ve lived and driven in cities my entire life. If I was a police officer and saw any single event captured in that video I’d keep my eye on the vehicle. The vehicle in that video repeatedly followed up questionable activity with additional

Any non-AV driver seen doing even 1/4 of what FSD did in that video would have been pulled over and fined. Regardless of their personal driving history. When FSD does cause an accident, the driver who enabled it can also be charged wit

Until someone does, the people posting these videos, and anyone found to be driving with FSD enabled should be fined and have points applied to their license for reckless driving.

>But 95% of everything is really people decrying textualism and actively choosing their ideology. Of course the textualist thinks only he is above ideology. This is how you can tell they're clowns.

Textualism outside of law is fun. Enjoy. In the context of law, and this entire thread, it's nonsense used by people to make themselves think they are smart, or trick other people into thinking they must be smart. In law, everything
