The current version of MGS was developed to withstand cars weighing a maximum of 5,000 pounds

Seems like yet another case of a flawed study or a flawed article based on a misunderstanding of the study.

Statements like the quote above make no sense as “withstanding a 5,000lb vehicle” makes no sense. A 5k lb vehicle traveling at 70MPH is carrying several orders of magnitude more energy than a 5k lb vehicle traveling at 5MPH. Likewise a direct, perpendicular hit will impart more energy than a glancing parallel blow, so what are they really rated for?

In any case, these guardrails are used in places where 100k lb semis are traveling at highway speeds, and there have never been any other doom and gloom articles written about that. I don’t think we need to completely rebuild our highway system simply because heavier cars exist.

… full development stack?

You can’t blame Rudy, he has a fault line running right through his brain.

Also the former mayor of NYC is calling New York communist? That’s hilarious.

Florida spent $200,000 on testing and found 100 people, 2% of the total, to be using drugs. They spent more money on testing than if they’d just given welfare benefits to those 100 people.

How do you consider that anything but a failure?

Plus it seems like some weird ass info to pull out of your pocket like someone insults you and you bring up a test score of theirs from 30 years ago as a response.

Because they used it as a tool to hunt down and arrest civil rights groups and Vietnam protestors.

If they utter “security for children” the government will probably not only drop the lawsuit but pay Apple $20 billion.

I’d be shocked if Abbott didn’t try to give them a Texas Medal of Freedom award for doing this.

It sucks but I’m sure this has to do with preventing fraud. It would be suspicious if some inactive account just started buying hundreds/thousands of dollars of items that hold no ‘real’ value. Then you wind up with a charge back from a stolen credit card and a seller without their items.

What kind of company has such a bad drug problem that they need to bring in dogs to find it? Absolutely ridiculous.
