140 (87mph).
I'm sure there are cars where I wouldn't feel a thing and all that, but mine would shake itself apart.
120/75 is my limit, and honestly my truck shouldn't be going over 90/55 because it loses the tiny bit of efficiency it has.

New noises don't bother me. The amount of things that can shake rattle and roll (it's a mess but it's all tools and things I need for work) means a new sound pops up every week.
It's the new slightly different vibration that sketches me out.
Ever so slightly up/down vibration that you can barely feel when you get to 70? Congrats, next week when you drive to work you'll hit a bump at 15 and the whole ~~front~~ bottom falls off. And now you have 3 other problems because drive shafts start flying all over and smashing into things when they break.
No, I love vehicle ownership and definitely wouldn't prefer to relax on high speed rail for 20 minutes with a rolling bag/tool box or literally any other form of mass transit...
Toss a rock at a shitty car? Terrorist
Shoot a thief that stole part of your life by denying you Healthcare? Terrorist
Plot and carry out a plan to kill people due to their political beliefs during a time you know you could have reason to be around them and use shady online services to help plan things in order to coerce political change?
.......... checks every possible definition to find a loophole
Not terrorism? poker face
10/10 government we have, just the best people, I'm super duper thrilled to be trapped in this shit hole country
That's literally what it feels like: being stuck in an objective (the planet) and you have a teammate that's SUPER gung ho about the fact he's got a bomb vest (nukes) on that will go off if he dies, and you're just praying he doesn't catch a stray round (attack) while shooting at people from the doorway (doing proxy war things or just straight up committing/supporting genocide/ethnic cleansing/war of extermination/etc) or lose connection (leadership going insane).
If any of those things happen, you know you're all toast. And it's all mostly outside of your control.
I hate to use video games as a metaphor for literal nuclear war and sorry for spelling it out like I'm talking to a child but I felt it was needed for clarity.
We're all on the planet together, and no one will ever be able to force everyone into submission, the more we fight the shorter time we have as a species.
The moral high road is filled with corpses.
nobody should have nuclear weapons.
Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like if the scientists working on the Manhattan project had all agreed it's too much and intentionally sabotage every test.
Yeah, but this way you get to make sure your intended target actually gets hit instead of assuming the following nuclear wastwland would destroy your target like everything else.
It's like the Martyrdom perk in fps games. You die and drop a grenade or c4 pack or something and explode, hopefully taking out the person who killed you.
It's just a dead-man switch to get the AD part of MAD.
Effective? Maybe.
Incredibly stupid? Yes.
Is that stopping the US and Russia from doing it? Lolno we invented this dumb shit.
The world is run by insane people who would rather see the planet scorched into a lifeless rock than admit their way of doing things might be wrong.
It works at the current 93 billion light years of observable universe (46ish in every direction)
My first introduction to them was Yuve Yuve Yu, also a banger.
I got a little hyper fixated on throat singing one week and they popped into my feed. Bike rides and road trips have never been the same.
38 digits of pi can get the circumference of the visible universe to within a single hydrogen atom.
10 digits gets the diameter of the earth to within an inch.

"trying to grab to take a gun from a security guard"
Okay so obviously almost nowhere else is as insane as the US when it comes to firearms and therefore most people would have much better discipline when handling them and discharging or even pulling one, but the one thing I am sure of almsoy anywhere in the world is that you should NEVER try to grab someone else's gun from them unless you're prepared to get shot with it.
Dudes lucky he didn't do that in Texas or Florida.
I have a permanent solution to banking crises:
Ban capitalism globally.
It's foolproof. It will stop any more banks from having any sort of crisis.
