  • You would probably begin by having the police break into canneries and tyre factories to beat dents into any round objects they produce, then end up having to concentrate enough mass in neighbouring states to distort spacetime to the point where π, as measured on a non-Euclidean circle with locally Euclidean constant curvature or radius or something, does in fact equal the number you said it is.

  • forced to register as a sex offender under some American laws.

    the GOP would have to have feel shame and/or have honor to hold her accountable.

    …Has the state of New Rome/South Ontario deteriorated to such an extent that your political parties now have direct executive control or veto over the executive aspects of law enforcement?

  • …There's probably an ecological definition for "community" that you could try to transfer over… I think in cases where a large group of individuals don't actually interact with all of each other either directly or indirectly, but are nonetheless relevant as a grouping because they share a particularly contextually prominent set of traits (E.G. "Plays Video Games"), then "population" might be a more appropriate term (if a bit sterile).

  • Aligning power over systems with stackholders impacted by those systems is usually good for avoiding hostile incentives which result in hurting people, yes. Plus to some it might axiomatically be morally good.

  • as with all things, eventually runs out.

    Nah. Cats are exempt from the first and second laws of thermodynamics, I'm pretty sure. They can just conjure more resources and more luck into existence at will. It's why the ancient Egyptians worshipped them so much.

  • It turned out to be nine pendants, three rings and 10 gold pearls in what was described as the country’s gold find of the century.

    Huh. I knew gold is one of the few metals that you can find in pure elemental form in the Earth's crust, but I had no idea it was already forged into pendants and jewelry and stuff! Geology really is fascinating.

  • Nissan also said it collected information on “sexual activity.” It didn’t explain how.

    Nissan doesn’t provide a detailed explanation of how the data is collected, but they say that the source they collect the data is "Direct contact with users and Nissan employees," Whatever that means.

    Based on this information, I can only infer that the Nissan sales handbook has a section on using seduction for particularly difficult and/or hot potential customers.

    …I used to work at a pizza shop. Oh, so that's why we got so many orders from the local Nissan dealership!

  • TAPR or CERN OHL, probably— Kit cars do already exist, though are apparently aimed at hobbyists, and usually just partial cosmetic customizations. "Metal box on wheels with motor" ain't exactly rocket science, although quality could be challenging and that's especially important when it comes to safety.

    That said, surely the production costs of modern vehicles needed to do their basic job— Efficient-ish and safe-ish transportation from point A to point B­— Can't possibly be worth their increasingly inflated costs? There's probably something to be said about the marketability of a sub-$10,000 basic OHL car that you can choose to scratch build or kit-build or buy fully built.
