Dolan,

Are you aware of the psychological tests done using a similar model; a train, and a switch to direct the train and the direction of the train causes various outcomes?

That model has been used quite a lot in working out human priorities.

Yes, I have seen several such tests, usually involving a lifeboat or hot air balloon and who or what is put in or removed.

There are many that use the train with a switch, you get to move the lever. There is a common track C the train is coming down And then track A and track B. These are forced answers, either A or B

1 A has 5 people B 1
2 A has 5 people B 1, your Wife
3 A has 5 people B 1, your spouse
4 A has 1 homeless drug addict B a MD
5 A has a MD B a close friend

It goes on and on.

One of the things interesting is that the sequence you ask the questions can significantly change the answers.

These are not good examples but I’m working in a glass of wine so I’m handicapped.

The moral answer is to say "Kill me because I won't do your dirty work for you."
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('vtsnowedin', 'T')esla already has 1800 charging stations spread around the country and they are still adding on. If there is a problem today it will be gone soon.
https://www.tesla.com/supercharger

Other companies are building charging stations which will charge non-Tesla cars, via broad standards. Tesla, especially re the super-chargers, NOT SO MUCH.

Outfits like VW's Electrify America look much more likely to solve the general problem than Tesla to me. Musk is all about Tesla, and to hell with everyone else.
Given the track record of the perma-doomer blogs, I wouldn't bet a fast crash doomer's money on their predictions.

Are my Testicles black:
A suspected Covid-19 patient is lying in bed in the hospital wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student female nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath.
"Nurse" he mumbles from behind the oxygen mask "are my testicles black?"
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies," I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."
He struggles to ask again,"Nurse please check for me, are my testicles black?"
Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles,she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers.
She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles gently in the other.
She looks very closely and says " There is nothing wrong with them Sir. They look fine."
The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask and smiles at her and says very slowly "Thank you very much, that was wonderful. Now listen very closely, "Are my test results back".

If oil goes any lower Exxon may have to lay off some member of Congress.

Or ask for money back from Obama. :-D

Someone told me that the leader of North Korea is now brain dead.

How can they tell? I asked.
