Biden was able to run on a "lesser evil" platform. He won because he wasn't Trump. Hillary or Harris could have won in 2020.

Agreed.

57 is the maximum age for an ideal, first-term candidate. 57 gives two four-year terms, while remaining under the retirement age. Colbert will reach retirement age in his first term.

Colbert isn't an ideal candidate, but he's not a bad one. He's electable, as is Jon Stewart.

Pretty sure the nuclear plant will provide significantly more heat. I mean, those giant cooling towers are specifically designed to unload heat into the atmosphere.

Octane is basically irrelevant to the issue of ethanol. The relevant issue is that gasoline (ethanol-free) has a specific energy of 47.3 MJ/kg, while ethanol has a specific energy of 29.7 MJ/kg. You need 1.6 gallons of ethanol to get the same energy as a gallon of gasoline.

Technically, his starting location is defined contradictorily, being both the same position as hers, as well as "due north". We can only proceed if a point can be considered "due north" of itself.

Technically, his initial direction of travel isn't actually defined, nor is that direction specified as constant. Only his initial position and "5ft/sec" speed has actually been defined. The problem doesn't actually constrain him to a northerly heading, or even to a constant heading. He could choose to orbit her at a constant distance as she travels eastward.

In five seconds, he could be a maximum of 25 feet away from the starting point. That puts him up to 30 feet west of her, or 20 feet east of her. His possible position will be defined by an ellipse with foci at the origin and her position 5 feet to the east, with a major axis length of 50 feet. If his direction is fixed, he will be on the circumference of the ellipse. If not fixed, somewhere within the ellipse.

If his direction is not fixed, and he elects to minimize his distance from her, as his distance from her approaches zero, his revolutions around her in a given time will approach infinite, and we will have to consider relativistic effects. From his perspective, his body will be ripped apart into a dizzying pink mist, which he will experience for all eternity. Poetic, I suppose.

They defeated one of the laws in one jurisdiction. The California law is still in place, international laws are still in place, and federal laws are being advanced.

We have an uninterrupted emergency lane.

We give our emergency traffic both the left and the right shoulder to get where they need to go. You give them one lane in the middle; we give them two lanes on the sides.

The left shoulder is an uninterrupted lane. The right shoulder is our breakdown lane. We very rarely enter or exit a divided highway on the left.

Right? Around here, each side of a divided highway has two travel lanes marked. There is a narrow shoulder on the left, and a wide shoulder on the right, either of which is adequate for emergency vehicles.

The intended purpose is to facilitate future construction. There is enough room on each side of the median for three lanes plus a narrow shoulder. They can put up a temporary k-rail median and repaint the lane lines to move a lane of traffic across the normal median. They can completely close a lane of traffic for repairs, while retaining at least two lanes (plus a narrow breakdown lane) in each direction.

Is he due north of the starting point, or of the girl? If the former, he is traveling due north. If the latter, his 5ft/sec velocity has a 1ft/sec eastward component, and we need to calculate the northern component.

The boy's speed is given as 5 ft/sec, but the question is ambiguous as to whether his position remains due north of the starting point, or due north of the girl. Your approach assumes the former, but his 5ft/sec speed may include the girl's 1ft/sec eastward component.

Nah, if Donnie gets to run for a third term, so does Barrack.

He can turn this around fast enough to give the entire country whiplash, just by announcing his candidacy.
