    This[^] will get you anywhere, any time.

    The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
    This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

    True enough :-D Will check the local parking regulations and see if there's a handy loophole.

          Did you ever wonder why a single Ninja in a movie is almost invincible while they drop like flies when a whole army of Ninjas comes? Analogous to energy, Ninjutsu can neither be created nor destroyed. If there is only one Ninja present, all the system's Ninjutsu is concentrated in him, making him invincible. When there is a whole army of them, each Ninja only gets a small share of the Ninjutsu and we all know how that ends. While driving to work this morning, I wondered why everything goes well up to a certain number of cars on the road. After that critical point they all begin to drive like drunken monkeys. Is this yet another conservation law or do we really need the proper amount of Ninjutsu to get to work?

          The road is one big chaos system. The longer it displays a reliable pattern the more likely that the very next moment it will go completely pear shaped. I've gotten in the habit of working from home the first snowfall of the winter every year. It's like freaking clock work. We have decent* enough roads 7-9 months and then the day that snow falls every moron and their dead grandmothers decide that the best way to drive on snow and ice, is to go as fast as they can so they spend as little time on it as possible**! *By "decent" I mean the majority of them are paved, potholes aren't quite big enough to swallow a horse, and they haven't been condemned. They are however rated "poor" by the road committee. **I guess this isn't an entirely inaccurate thought process. If they slide off the road into the ditch, they are no longer technically on said road.

            As if this event was a total surprise, but then they are also absolutely surprised when that funny light changes from red to green.

                That's why we don't have to worry about the 8,327 clones they made of Hitler. One alone managed to conquer most of Europe and start a world war; the 8,327 can't even decide which tiles to play in Scrabble.

                  It depends. I'm still building my Huey, which is half the size of this one here. I already had the helicopter, an older T-Rex 450[^], which I got second hand for about 150 bucks. The fuselage[^] cost only 100, but it did not have very much detail. So I have spent a good number of hours on installing the helicopter and adding all kinds of details, like one or another antenna, the tail bar, hatches and panels, rivets and 3D printed weapons. And of course painting it once the details are all done. In the end it's supposed to look like this one[^] and use this model kit[^] as a reference.

                          Why do you think his moustache was so meticulously cropped and shaped the way it was? Ninja magic, Man! Rubbing it in particular directions and with particular cadence with the left-hand's thumb and forefinger caused Terrible Things to happen!

                              Then you get a video.[^]. It's the same as mine, but if you look at it closely, you will see why I want more detail and did not just paint it.

                                  "Nobody drives around here. There's too much traffic." I'm sure somebody will correct me on the exact quote and provide its source.

                                    Did you ever wonder why a single Ninja in a movie is almost invincible while they drop like flies when a whole army of Ninjas comes? Analogous to energy, Ninjutsu can neither be created nor destroyed. If there is only one Ninja present, all the system's Ninjutsu is concentrated in him, making him invincible. When there is a whole army of them, each Ninja only gets a small share of the Ninjutsu and we all know how that ends. While driving to work this morning, I wondered why everything goes well up to a certain number of cars on the road. After that critical point they all begin to drive like drunken monkeys. Is this yet another conservation law or do we really need the proper amount of Ninjutsu to get to work?

                                    Once traffic reaches a critical density, the cumulative effect of gentle braking rushes back over drivers like a wave and leads to a standstill. It's a chain reaction similar to the push and pull of an accordion or Slinky, or the traffic-wave effect.

                                      Anyone who rides a bike in traffic is a delusional, suicidal hipster. My wife is a nurse at a hospital and they get 3 to 4 broken bike riders a week to try to fix. and that's just the ones that survive... Of course living in New Orleans, where the streets are narrow and in bad condition, the lost tourists are plentiful, and the locals all drive like maniacs may be skewing my beliefs...

                                          The same reason that the "good guys" in TV shows are crack shots and the "bad guys" can't hit the broad side of a barn?
