Road wear is a 4th power formula to weight. So for a car that weighs 1.25 times the average, it would do 2.44 times the damage. These formulas may be fair. They would be vastly different if you included the damage from burning fuel in populated areas, though.

I had a cat with similar habits, but it was always empty balloons. She'd even try to catch them out of the air. I'd try to throw it in such a way that she would have to do flips to catch it, and I did get a few full flips. This was mostly a morning game while I was lying in bed. It ended when we moved and she had access to birds instead of objects vaguely like birds. It was also way less fun for me when she would bring the dead birds to our bed.
I have to kind of laugh at the idea of a bunch of right-wing Albertans having to choose between Poilievre and Bernier. Would love to see a split vote make them both lose.
There was an obscure YouTube video I saw some months back that had someone doing this for her education. I'll see if I can find it. She had techniques to deal with these issues, including printing foam soles.
We can do a number of things, but dealing with the root causes for a number of societal issues will lead to better results than sweeping actions to stop things that are only hurting a tiny minority in any significant way.
Here's an example. Every study that has been done shows that alcohol use causes harm. People tend to enjoy it, however, to the point where they will break the law to have it. This makes it more difficult to diagnose and treat, and provides sources of income for organized crime if we ban it. So instead, we restrict its use to adults, heavily fine people who sell to minors, provide awareness campaigns, etc. Because sometimes a simple, heavy-handed solution creates new, larger problems.
Completely off topic, but your username made me look up a Latin translation site. Joe Haldeman fan?
Ah, nice. Another step on my quest for my dream portable console. Thank you for this, and everything else you've shared. 🙂
That sounds like typical very formal language everywhere. I have employees calling me sir and it always throws me for a loop. I don't think I've called called someone sir in my entire life. I have used ma'am when trying to get the attention of a woman I don't know, and that's about as formal as I've been.
You will still have to deal with CBP when returning to the US, just as I had to deal with CBSA when returning to Canada.
I went to the States for work (training) in 2000 with only my drivers license for ID. I had no trouble getting into the States, and had to fill out a two-page form to get back into Canada. That hasn't been possible since 9/11. I suspect paperwork will be a much bigger issue now than it was even last year.
If you could mobilize 1000 people to achieve your goals instead of 10000 people, why would you mobilize the 10000? And if the 1000 doesn't work, trying only costs you 10% more than not trying and then having to go with the more expensive option. And coming in before the result that would delegitimize your claim is simply pragmatic.
The same as Hitler, Trump won't need an excuse, but why would he choose the more expensive option? Now we're talking about Trump, so well thought out plans aren't the norm, but he does like to save a buck...
Oh, I agree. "Let's factor in this one externality on the more responsible choice while we ignore all the externalities on the alternatives."
