The pressure the tire exerts on the road is always equal to the pressure it's inflated to. When the vehicle weight increases while tire PSI stays the same, the contact patch (area squished flat against the pavement) increases in size.

Bike tires are narrower than car tires because bikes are much lighter (so the contact patch doesn't need to be as wide), and also because they lean into turns (so the contact patch can't be wide). Bike tires are often larger diameter than car tires because they have more gyroscopic effect and thus make the bike easier to balance. They also make it easier to ride over bumps, but on a road bike (as opposed to a mountain bike) that's probably a relatively minor reason.

I think motorcycle and ebike tires are a little wider (but still round in cross-section, so not like a car tire) for durability reasons because all the forces they're subjected to are larger.

They "understand" just fine. They're trying to normalize the destruction of property rights on purpose because they absolutely loathe the idea of anyone not continuously paying them rentier fees for absolutely nothing in return.

They are evil and must be destroyed.

Do any of those languages actually have a rule that you're supposed to put a dot in the middle of "et," though? It'd be pretty weird if they did because "et" is one word...

"e.t.c." makes about as much sense as "a.n.d. other things."

(At least the old-fashioned English way of doing it, with a ligature connecting the e and t like so: "&c" was somewhat reasonable.)

First rule of being a bully is always prey on the weak, not the strong.

The bag (usually) has cooking instructions written on the it...

Ignorance I can forgive, but lack of curiosity is inexcusable.

If their first language is a Romance language it still isn't an excuse, because "etc" comes from the Latin.

I remember that one.

Speaking of the antipode of Chicxulub, the Deccan Traps formed at about the same time.

Maybe by dogsled or pogo stick, but mules would die of exposure and trying to go by car would require a 4x4 and blazing a new trail through the wilderness.

There literally is no road from Chevak to Nome. In fact, there isn't a road from Chevak to anywhere. The furthest you can get from the center of town by car is... the airport.

The bigger deal is the other ruling, allowing Trump to fire the heads of [formerly] independent Federal agencies and replace them with corrupt cronies and sycophants.

Zek wasn't good at business either, at least not by the time we saw him.
