I think you're right, and the original post is wrong to say that vans do it better every time, no exception.

However, I think that a van would be a more practical and better vehicle for a vast majority of people who are driving trucks. It's just that people don't care if things are practical, they want things that they think are cool.

Blow em up, guy

Trying to differentiate between a gas chamber and a life sentence in El Salvador, is really tiptoeing the line.

You're right, it would be super cool to kill lots of people and blow up all the infrastructure.

Well, there are legal proceedings trying to show that using the federal troops in this way is illegal and have them removed. What exactly are you proposing, that the LAPD start a war with the Marines?

I'm so good at not understanding stuff. My time has come.

Important context is missing. If traffic is light and you're cruising in the passing lane at the same speed as the rest of traffic, get out of the passing lane.

Edit: I'm enjoying the upvote/downvote ratio. 1/4 of people feel justified in creating a rolling roadblock. The other 3/4 of people would like them to change lanes.

That's terrifying. Those stupid cops will kill your baby with a flashbang, shoot your dog and then murder you becauese you were holding the TV remote during their veggie raid.

Even if he really was growing some pot plants, it shouldn't even be a big deal.

The rich would never allow a President Sanders. They have too much to lose.

I think if you stop and they run into you, that's technically a foul.

Fair enough

I'm going to double down and say that on a real life test, this would likely represent a typo. In such case, I think you could successfully defend a 25% answer while a 60% answer is just right out the window, straight to jail.

Entertaining response but I disagree.

I'm going to say that unless you're allowed to select more than one answer, the correct answer is 25%. That's either a or d.

By doing something other than guessing randomly (seeing that 1 in 4 is 25% and that this answer appears twice), you now have a 50% chance of getting the answer correct. However, that doesn't change the premise that 1 in 4 answers is correct. It's still 25%, a or d.

I haven't watched much of Linus's stuff, but his behavior in the three Linux challenge videos reminded me of the way Conan O'Brien would act with his staff. It struck me as an off-putting blend of arrogance, entitlement, and impatient senility.

I just watched that Linus tech tips video where the guy uninstalls critical system components by accident while trying to install steam.

First the GUI for the package manager refuses to do it, then apt gives him a warning that he's going to break his system. It even makes him type "Yes, do what I say!" but he's too much of a clown to read the warning messages all over his screen. He even smirks at the camera about how silly it is that he would need to type such a thing before he proceeds to mess everything up.

People were trying to defend him, saying that the system shouldn't have allowed him to do it or that the warnings should have been flashing and shooting rainbows out of the monitor or that a robot arm should have come out and started honking his clown nose to let him know he was doing something stupid.

Make America Genetically-mutated Again!

I get by pretty well just using my bank's website. If you need the bank's app for something like occasionally depositing checks, maybe you could keep your old phone in a drawer with your checkbook.

The surface area of the box is about 135 inches. If this surface area were spread over a sphere, it would have a diameter of about 6.5 inches and a volume of nearly 150 cubic inches (nearly twice the volume of the uninflated box!). 150 cubic inches of osmium weighs about 120lbs.

So, indeed you could exceed the weight limit of the box by ballooning it out and filling it with something that's at least 7/12ths as dense as osmium (or a little more dense than lead).

You're right, maybe there's nothing to see here. I forgot that people start setting cars on fire as a goof.
