And there is the root of it. Ideology/Mythology. My personal freedumb out weighs group well being, and anything I don't like or understand or interferes with my immediate wishes in any way has to be bad and or unconstitutional.

A “fag paper” ??
A fag is brit slang for a cigarette, therefore thickness of a cigarette paper.
In other words the man had precise control of his car.

The phrase “As speed increases, so does reaction time” should read “As speed increases, reaction time must be faster” or “As speed increases, reaction time must be shorter”.

I have observed that reaction time, or lack of, is not a major problem with many drivers.
It's physics, I don't care how perfect or instantaneous your reaction are, simple physics will not allow you stop
stop in the space you have allowed yourself. Periodically when this sort of discussion arises I'll ask people the if they know average stopping distance of their vehicle, far more often than not they haven't even thought about it. Also at motorway speeds the average distance to stop, including reaction is about the length of a football field.
And the destructive energy of an average car at those speeds is equal to several sticks of dynamite.

Actually it's Switzerland, this from the BBC around 1957, broadcast 1st April.

People were calling to find out where to get the seeds, BBC told them to take a small length of spaghetti, put in some spaghetti sauce, place it on a sunny window sill and hope for the best.

A high schooler in WA state created this web site because he wanted some context. While the covid-19 is a disease to be taken very seriously, especially as containment seems our only option at the moment, reporting and reaction to it are way out of control, imo.
Context is everything, for instance,there are over 300 million people in the US, less than 3000 are confirmed and less than 60 have died. Italy >60m < 1500 died.
here is the link, https://ncov2019.live/data
Just be conscious and careful but DON'T panic, you can't possibly need that much TP .

One of my favorite sci fi writers has his characters refer to artificial intelligence devices as "artificial stupids" precisely because they are so literal they don't make the intuitive leaps that humans do routinely (even if often erroneously).
I've said for quite some time now the the phrase AI is a misnomer, they are not intelligent they are just expert systems, fast and powerful expert systems, getting more so everyday but not anywhere near "intelligent".
Although she been around for a while I recently discovered a SF writer by the name of Linda Nagata, I like her stories, anyway in her universe AI is not allowed, but I like her term, DI which stands for Dull Intelligence.

What do you mean by local version. Previously I had what was called MS Office Pro, and the version of Excel that came with that was perfect. The one that comes with the generic MS Office is not. For instance, on Pro, I could copy the format of one file without the data to make a new file. On the generic Office version, you can't do that.
The version of excel you have must be rather old,you have been able to create new empty but formatted worksheet from exiting worksheets for a while.
I agree with others who say try OpenOffice, I have used it many times, and I think it an excellent programme. I however use Office 365 personal $US70.00 per year, and although I mainly use excel and word, the thing that sold me on Office 365 over OpenOffice is the TB of OneDrive storage that come with it.

Insulting rather than funny, but then Christians seem to have a warped sense of everybody but us are inferior

The biggest worst offending welfare recipients are mega-corps and banks and zillionaires etc.
The ones you seem to be taking pot shots at are neither mindless or lazy for the most part.

I don’t know any organization that’s reporting the news. Sadly, they are fabricating stories, stories that support their interests and make them more money and power. I can’t think of anything worse than CNN OR THE PRESENT DEM leadership. Geeeeeese!
So where do you get your news? and more important how do you know it's not just a fabricated story that supports your favourite channel or personal point of view.
I can think of several worse than CNN, OAN for one, Brietbart, Drudge Report, to name few, and lets not forget the "Ministry of Truth" officially known as Fox News

Something similar happened to me at a Popeye's Chicken. The person had already stared to dig out my change when I handed him the extra change from my pocket so as to round up . Completely threw him, I explained what my intention was but the math beat him so he called his super over, who must have been all of 1/2 hr older and it threw him as well. As there was nobody else in line I gave these two a quick math lesson, corrected them several times and eventually they both agreed on how much change I should get. I got my chicken and my change ,and and extra dollar, must have been new math, or is that alternative math.
