In Japan they have rail lines that seamlessly integrate with the metro system of large cities.

And even if cars for rural users is necessary, their driving experience will be much smoother if all the other people have good access to transit.

If I ride the disney cruise line am I a sailor?

If we allow space tourists to count as astronauts then it diminishes the actual heroes like Gagarin, Shepard, Tereshkova, Armstrong, or Sally Ride.

Plus. I really don't want to have to call Branson or Bezos astronauts.

Revoking citizenship is a bad president.

He's actively aiding and abbeding the government of a hostile foreign nation that has vocally demanded we scede our sovereignty and surrender our territory to them.

He should be charged with treason.

They try to make a distinction when referring to kilocalories as Calories, it's literally just that Calorie (kcal) is capitalized and calorie (cal) is not.

It's a dumb system.

Depending on the manufacture date, the side windows on the model Y may be laminated glass. If that's the case with yours, window smashers won't work on those.

Which of these candidates do you think will be more willing to have their minds changed with protests and petitions?

Nothing is going to be easy or perfect, but we can at least choose the most likely candidate that is slightly more aligned with our desired outcome and then fight for what is needed.

It's percentage of the entire population, if you organized everyone from lowest to highest IQ, what percentage of the entire population would you need to include for them to be in the top. It's a little clearer when a point of interest is near the top. E.G. "person is in the top 1% of people in terms of wealth."

A less kind way to say it is '91% of people have a higher IQ than this person'.
