> Cars should be taxed based on their weight

Not against that, but there should be an exception for electric vehicles, because these batteries are heavy.

r3pl4y··on 40 years ago yesterday Air Canada Flight 143 ran out of fuel mid-flight
How come there isn't one big red light saying "you're out of fuel"?
r3pl4y··on How the ISS will end its life in orbit
Instead of de-orbiting it towards earth, why don't they de-orbit it in the other direction, away from earth. Wouldn't that be safer?

#ExplainLikeImFive

Could somebody explain to me what a PVC (Personalized Cancer Vaccine) is? Like what is the personalized part in there? Is there really a realistic scenario in which we'll get some regular vaccination and then we'll be cancer free in the future?

Spacewars, chapter one
r3pl4y··on Ecological Wealth of Nations
Very nicely made tool, unfortunately they forgot that red/green colorblindness is very common, so I can't really see anything in their graphs.
