I think the next solar flair that shorts out many of these will generate shocking interest for the stocks of the companies that make transformers.

Jokes aside, it will be a disaster leaving many in the dark for months; often it takes a hard learned lesson to overstock on things like these

I agree with that other comment which argues to set it as the users expect. I think the 1 based is logical here

I can totally see him slapping Cato, his man servant. Unless, of course the character is edited out due to modern audiences. Which is not as improbable as it sounds.

Beating a servant was funny in the 1960s

The three were brave, but only three out of many thousands who elected to keep killing children.

Who else to call out the atrocities of car culture than the underdogs who are most affected by it?

I have been both riding bicycles and driving huge trucks, not at the same time. And when driving was far less likely to be critical; I would think “this is bad”, and left it there. Five minutes later forgotten.

But when I rode bicycles these very things impacted me much more; I would stew in anger. Then , in that mindset I could more easily reflect on the absolute travesty: not just where I was but roads and metal things slicing up the landscape over continents.

It’s easy to assume this is because the NYT is perhaps Zionist. But I see it as a convergence of beliefs.

By my own informal count, the NYT had promoted and encouraged over a hundred wars and military actions in its history, often these have catastrophic impacts on people.

Zionism creates wealth for many who care little about the human cost. Ignoring the religion and geography, this is no different than the above.
