decimation: I view it as proof of the costs of antinomianism
decimation: I suspect that the variance of the "mormon benefit" is lower, given that it hasn't had 1500 years to fracture
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: surprisingly, i understand the power of leverage and reduced friction in tandem.
ben_vulpes: i point out a) those ratings are for highway operation, b) those ratings are so that joe sixpack can haul his 12klb boat up a 30deg ramp c) that generally the operating envelope is entirely different
ben_vulpes: this is closely related to a conversation i had today in which someone tried to argue without proof that a toyota tundra with its 10klb rating could *never NEVER* pull the US orbiter

mircea_popescu: Instead I got busy working 100-hour workweeks. Then came the L.A. depression of the early 1990s. Our leaders decided that they didn’t need the all of those extra Air Force bases they had in Southern California, so they were closed; just like that.
