- Replying to @DrewPavlouSociety should pay homeowners a bonus for killing home invaders: $1 million? Each invader killed means fewer people terrorized and killed by future invasions
- Replying to @minilekGiven this was 2010, I suspect the cops were having a laugh with this.
- Replying to @politicalmathStop casting Zendaya. No other words needed.
- Replying to @StatisticUrbanYou realize no LED puts out full light spectrum and all of them have suboptimal color rendering indexes? If you really care about life, they’re still inferior
- Replying to @mattforneyDeportations were great, as were highways. Most of Eisenhower sucked, though. Don't get why conservatives now should lionize him (or Nixon) simply because they were Rs. Parties aren't sports teams. You don't pledge eternal loyalty. You shift as they shift.
- Replying to @JeremiahDJohnsJesus. No need to bring back the mastodon. In another few generations, these will be as large.
- Replying to @StatisticUrbanThere are at least a handful of studies showing that regular media readers are more wrong about the subjects they read about than people who consume no news at all. And, of course, all these publications have been wrong on virtually every complex major issue of my life.
- Replying to @Empty_AmericaTo put Bureau of Justice Statistics to OP's assertion: federal convictions for white-collar crimes fell from about 9,100 in 1980 to about 4,800 in 2020. While population increased nearly 50% (227m to 332m).

- Replying to @DJSnMExcess caution kills progress. Experimental spacecraft can crash. Crash seems to have been in pre cleared area. SpaceX has far more incentive to fix what went wrong than the FAA. Losing spacecraft is expensive.
- Replying to @upstatefederlstRelevant stat isn't flight time (or train time) but door-to-door time. Plus total cost and perceived pleasantness/unpleasantness of experience. But I guess it doesn't really matter given that we lack the ability to build the train.
