I converted for the backwards, non-scientific people who still use imperial units USAsians onthe forum.
(it's supposed to be a pastiche of the stereotype we Europeans have when thinking of the imperial system. But imperial units are still bad and you should feel bad for using them)

My grandpa once told me "Just because the Bad Guy is your enemy, that doesn't automatically make you the Good Guy."
GarandMarine:
Wait... 60 MPH is slow as hell. Isn't the Autobahn supposed to be super fast?
hedgie:
Depends on things like road conditions, construction, traffic, etc. At any given time, only 1/3 through 1/2 of the Autobahn isn't metered.
GarandMarine:
Jumping briefly back to torture, I give what amounts to a floor over to someone who probably has, of all of us a unique perspective on these matters. While I went through SERE training, which involves "enhanced interrogation techniques" like the ones described in the reporter (I went through most of the check list, got to skip the anal rape/rehydration though!) as did one or two others, and we do have some secret squirrel intell dweebs sneaking about, none of us, thankfully, have ever been in a capture situation. Very few men and women in many countries have. Especially as a POW or detainee. As such I give extra merit based on personal experience, to the words of former POW, Senator John McCain.
