I’d argue it’s a poor system shock clone with FMV in a haunted house, personally. The “uniqueness” in my eyes is really the fact it’s an archetypal 90s FMV game, and no one makes FMV games anymore really - they died out just as FPS/3d

There was also the infamous white iPhone 4 debacle, they had almost shipped the next one the following year before anyone got a white handset. A white handset may not sound like a big deal, but people really wanted that thing. That sticks

For the bulk of H1 holders (who I can assure you will not pick up 400k CAD jobs) it's not necessarily a switch to an easy life with great salaries once CoL is accounted for. I wouldn't want to make move to Vancouver as an example

The L1 can be worse than the H1 bind in some ways - has effectively all of the same rules, with the primary and critical exception you cannot change employer in the US. On the L1, your Green Card is much more at the mercy of how nice your e

Right - pyrofuse blow has prevented this in my experience. That's why I've specifically called out shunts. If there is no impact, you would be pretty unlucky to not be able to do it.

You can push a tesla in most typical push situations. Sure its heavy, but its in the ballpark of pushing any large sedan or SUV, not just electric ones. You can enable free-rolling wheels in the car and push away, especially if you have lux

Has a car manufacturer ever lied about rated tow weights in recent memory? I genuinely don't see the incentive - it would just lead to crashes, warranty claims and eventually a class action lawsuit, or worse if deaths resulted. People

It's literally rated for 14,000 lbs, so no, it won't.

The cybertruck will manage 14,000lbs on a monocoque. Just because traditionally this hasn't been the case doesn't mean you can't make a monocoque that can tow. The truck industry has had little incentive to innovate here unti

I think the distinction people are grasping at here are monocoque constructed vehicles (the vast majority of cars/crossovers/SUVs on sale today) and ladder-frame/body on frame construction - most trucks and some really big

I can't speak to the other two, but it's laughable to suggest in 2023 Waymo has "landed" - where is the contribution to Google's bottom line? Where can I buy or use Waymo tech outside of some very restricted demo ne
