At first, I was going to criticize the collision speed of the example study, but found ( ok, I say found, I mean I googled for 15 seconds ) that the average American collision is occurring at less than 40mph, so good to go there.
Second, I was going to comment on the relative safety of being in the Kei truck and being struck by the 2500HD... but that just goes back to the 'participating in the arms race', so feels... stupid.
So, overall: Thanks for providing this. It directly answers the primary concern of 'what if I hit something tho'. There are some other angles I could nitpick on maybe, but they all feel like a kind of 'consolation prize' to the argument.
Nah, it was a simple question about the overall efficacy of surviving a crash.
And if you had participated in other parts of the conversation, you'd see that there is actually movement on that front. TL;DR, since you seem in a hurry, both trucks are equally safe at a speed that most collisions happen ( under 40mph ).
But if you want to make that about "AMERICANS ARE EVIL", I can't really stop you. <3
Except that the studies don't suggest that. In other parts of the thread, the risk to life and injury works out to be roughly the same for the average collision.
Unless your commentary is: "Less seating means less people involved." In which case: Good job, hard to counter.
Everything is political. But that isn't what the poster or other users of this particular lament mean.
In this case, "Politics" means "politics other than the ones that I've decided are normal and not worth questioning".
This is a particularly fun meme here; the whole point of moving to Fedi is to get away from the current ownership of the public forum, that ownership itself a matter of politics ( who is allowed to own things, who is allowed to enforce rules, etc ).
On top of a lot of suggestions already here, I really dug Altered Carbon Season 1. Season 2 is good, but Season 1 really slammed it out of the park for me.
Created kbin.social/m/cyberpunkred for all you #CyberpunkRED folk out there. Please come contribute; link your favorite homebrew, ask questions about rules, etc, etc. :D
I introduced kbin to someone today who asked what the fediverse was. I answered for them of course, but it made me realize that the concept is still technobabble for most people. The average joe probably doesn't care or notice that server A is really talking to server B. Just have them find out on their own and if a mass...
This concept of multiple instances of a platform doesn't exist outside of the fediverse.
This is not 100% true.
A good comparison might be World of Warcraft. While not the best example, a player does not have to be in the same instance/server as their friend in order to join in each other's content/dungeons. This is a fairly new feature of WoW ( and not feature-complete compared to full federation ). It could stand in as a starting point for the conversation.
Yeah, that's fair, but it's an inroad that shares a conceptual thread or two; no conversation is going to go the same for everyone, so options and metaphors are great. :D
Been running a Cyberpunk RED table for a few sessions. It is not as 'deep' as DnD5e/PF2e, but feels like a solid system capable of being run 'quickly'; combat turns are simple and easy to crunch, making combat more snappy imo.

OC What DnD (or other TTRPG) podcasts are you guys listening to?
I've tried out NADDPOD, TAZ and am currently listening to one in the Stars Without Number universe called Astronomica which is pretty funny....
Movies that really show what Cyberpunk is all about?
My top two are-...
