I drive a giant motor home with headlights about five feet lower than my eye level.

Other cars’ reflectors work fine.

Sometimes it’s hard to read reflective signs above way over the highway, but retroreflective stuff at road level is definitely working

    It does not — dumb people have the same access to the better drugs as smart people.

    A eugenics-driven society where dumb people are left to die and smart people get extra health care likely would be effective at breeding children who are better at passing the “smart people” test, but I would not like to live in a society like that.

    If you’re about to argue that having enough money to pay for health care correlates with intelligence… I would welcome some evidence. I used to think that was obvious but, having grown up and experienced the world some, the only thing I see that correlates with intelligence is depression.

    Normal residential oven vent hoods do not remotely get all the cooking exhaust. I’m not sure they get any meaningful quantity of cooking exhaust.

    Try an experiment that I’ve done at least once in several different houses over the years: turn on your hood vent fan, then leave your food on the stove and accidentally burn the everloving shit out of it.

    Is your house full of smoke and fire alarms going off? Then your range hood is not protecting you from combustion products coming off the range
