Transcendental moral principles can still be secular.
One that I find compelling is that Rawls' veil of ignorance lets us imagine that we might be on either side of a conflict, and that therefore moral actions are equitable to both sides. This gives us a secular morality that doesn't come with the baggage of religious outgroup dynamics.
That's just you being unable to let go of your biases? In languages with pointers giving primacy to offsets makes sense. In every other context aligning with natural language and math (first, second, 1..n inclusive) is perfectly logical.
That's entirely missing the point. "All models are wrong, but some are useful". You can test hypotheses and learn things even about chaotic or emergent systems.

Ah yes, the famous "Cut GDP in half, abolish public schooling and use that as a control" experiment. Majority of economic "models" are entirely correlational without any mechanistic explanation whatsoever or an explanation so superficial that it contradicts either itself or observed reality.
If you look deeper and read explanatory notes of economic laws, the model may refer some publications, but then the actual figures plugged in the model are explained as "these values have been observed to lead to the desired outcomes, therefore are set without any modeling or validation, hope for the best, lesssgoooo".
Not everything is a state secret. There's no need to immediately migrate every trivial email and permit request, but having a parallel infrastructure for the stuff that needs it should be a no-brainer.
It's not about state secrets, it's about being able to provide services when the US is turning Hostile.
Hospitals or Police aren't guarding state secrets too, but if they would loose access to their IT Infrastructure because Donald had some strange brainfart this morning like the Judge of the International Court of Justice it would impact the State critically
No, but almost everything is a potential DDOS. And slight modifications to emails, documents, and calendars can cause a lot of havoc that may be hard to detect.
My understanding is that in Europe regulations focused on the length of the whole vehicle, whereas in America the length of the cab and trailer were regulated separately.
Also American truckers do a lot more long-haul work and American roads are noisier, so they prefer being more insulated from the engine.
This is a bit counter intuitive, but Euro style cabovers are much quieter inside than a 'conventional'. Plus cabovers can have air spring suspension, they're often more comfortable. The downside is much less space inside, which is a big deal for the long haul drivers in the states, whereas in europe, they rarely do more than a month at a time.
To clarify, the air bags isolate the cab from the chassis.
There is also suspension between the axles and the chassis which is 99% of the time air on the rear, leaf spring front.
I haven't come across a cab that is suspension isolated from the frame of a conventional, even though the axles are on air. Theoretically as the driver is in the sweet spot of a much longer wheelbase, rather than sitting directly over an axle.
So that's name of that game, I've been trying to remember that game I played briefly as a kid, which in my hazy memory seemed quite fun. Thanks, will give it a try when it goes on sale.
And there's of course the spiritual sequel, Bruetal Legend. The main campaign can be played more as an action game, but if you get into multiplayer the RTS elements really come through.
It's just written Brutal Legend if you can't type the ü. The dots you see in the name are not equivalent to an umlauted u, but instead it's just röck döts.
Since rock dots don't affect the pronunciation of the name, you wouldn't expand to add a letter (which would affect the pronunciation) if you can't type the decorative dots.
