Plays at ~3fps and with a ~1s latency on all interactions on Firefox, MBP2015 :( Slightly better on Chrome, but the menu is still incredibly laggy and the placement grid lags way behind the mouse cursor. Got to say that the performance isn

"Lynx" can refer to either the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) specifically, or to the genus Lynx and the four extant species in it (Eurasian lynx, Canada lynx, Iberian lynx, bobcat). And the game recognizes all the four lynx speci

Main competitor? I’m pretty sure that Uncyclopedia is a more relevant competitor to Wikipedia than Grokipedia. Likely more accurate, too.

"Quaternions" definitely sounds shinier and more mysterious than "geometric algebra". Indeed I can’t immediately come up with any math term more shiny and mysterious, except maybe "transcendental", but as a con

Huh, TIL that the concept of brutalist architecture doesn’t come directly from French béton brut but was associated with it only after the term was coined.

A bus can blow up of its own accord if, for example, its fuel tank explodes. There's no need for an external agent.
