I find it strange that they use the same language in all the systems. One could argue that there is a possibility of a fault in the language specification.
> I find the behavior of most bikers in traffic to be dangerous, obnoxious and rude.
And I find the behaviour of most drivers to be potentially fatally dangerous to me as a cyclist and pedestrian.
> And the worst part is you can't say anything
And I can't say anything to the drivers because they are sitting in a multi-ton closed cage that they can't hear you unless I yell close to their window.
If you've never been fat, you don't know how it feels to be fat (duh...). I'm "only" 240lbs/6ft, and it simply doesn't feel good. Every step you take is heavier, you can't move around as nimbly, public transportation is more uncomfortable, you sweat more, clothes don't fit well, etc, etc. I know this for a fact because I've previously gone from 240lbs to 180ish, and it's just amazing what difference it makes, especially when you're also fit.
Also, 20 years of life is a lot. You may not think that you want to live that long, but having seen my dad retire at 60ish, being still fit, healthy and active, and continuing so for the last 15 years, and continuing for the foreseeable future, it changes one's perception of what old people are capable of today, especially when they're healthy.
Btw, in a world where energy is supposedly scarce, how do people justify using languages (Python, Ruby, I'm looking at you) that are an order or two magnitudes slower than they need to?
i find it interesting that whenever something that involves fatalities happens, the first reaction of people is to propose to ban it, while they continue to drive their suvs to mcdonalds while talking on the cellphone...
