Wow, the lack of a hood is baffling, was that actually a conscious design decision or an urban legend? Because in the case of the former I find it unbelievable that no one on the team, or even at Volvo that dropped by to see how the project

I remember a few decades ago an argument broke out at the table between player and DM about how the price in gold for food, weapons, armor etc. was unreasonably unrealistic and something along the lines of how looking at the average income

Not him but as someone in a similar position- I didn't like how the steam release axed the UI that had stayed more or less the same for the decade I had been playing DF for on and off in favor of a new one. I still love the game and hi

From an enthusiast point of view, I'd wager that it's more because a lot of the most iconic engine noises are distinctive and recognizable based on model and just general throttle feedback and it's a quirk that gives differen

Sorry, I don't buy that argument. You could just ignore such people instead of take advantage of their foolishness for monetary gain. Nothing says you have to engage with each and every person showing up with preposterous claims on the

This is really the way to go. Most "cheap" tools will offer the same or similar performance to the name brand ones or like you mentioned you'll splurge on a nice one and realize you only need it for one or three jobs and the

The "unpaid" volunteer in question was raking in $100 per attempt for an arguably impossible task. That unquestionably moves the situation from a bounty/prize to a gambling house taking rigged bets and it's pretty clear

This is really how I see it too. If this spirit was really so important to the bet (and not just vaguely implied) it should have been stated clearly. Friendly ribbing over "you won by rules but not in spirit" is one thing when it&

I agree with just about everything you've said except for the first point about 360/rear view cameras. Not going to argue that they're not useful or don't improve safety because they genuinely are and do. But to me those

I don't think it's malicious in most cases. As a counterpoint, most family members I know with absurdly large cars, either dimensionally or in terms of seat height aren't very confident drivers and the large vehicle makes the

Maybe it's a Sentinel Island sort of situation. The technology gap is vast, we've had ships wreck there or unauthorized visitors approach the island but though they attacked them both we've left them alone and haven't at

Boebert came off clownish but if you heard that somewhere taken out of context she wasn't seriously claiming the earth was flat. It was a joke she was trying to make a point with albeit a poor one that it was neither the time or place

Sorry, didn't see your response until today. But I'd argue that those two truths aren't incompatible with one another. Something can be an innate human right and also perceived poorly within a given culture at that moment in

That's a very cynical viewpoint and one that's not very easy to convince people of. I don't think it's a very moral stance to take either because it can be used to justify immoral stances. There have always been actions

It's absurd too how it starts to creep it's way into businesses where you don't usually expect to give a tip. I got new tires and an alignment today at one of those chain tire shops and they asked for a tip at the end when I

I do feel a bit bad for them. Putting so much work into a project only to have it cloned a week or two after they released it to much bigger fanfare (I'd never even heard of Threes up until this point but everyone I knew was goofing ar

Wow, this flippant hand waving by the documentary creator that the accused shouldn't be upset because the fears of being unmasked as a potential Satoshi being "overblown" as far as it being life threatening and disruptive is

I bought a truck for similar reasons (was tired of constantly having to rent/borrow cars to tow or haul/pick up something that doesn't fit in a "normal" car). I got a lot of utility use out of it over the years and

I had a blast with Rimworld. Still play it occasionally for the "Dwarf Fortress but sci-fi" urge it fulfills. But in the long run when trying to do a huge generational colony I can't stand how "gamey" it feels. Mayb

California law prevents hunting with lead bullets for this same reason. There's alternatives on the market for bullets made out of other non toxic or non polluting metals. I imagine they could do something similar there.

Do they need to cheat to get drops though? It's been a good while since I've played CSGO but I thought the drops there were similar to TF2 where you just get them on match end and it's not tied to player performance at all?

Yeah, it feels like a dead giveaway when someone at higher ranks has near perfect but within the realm of believable gameplay from a mechanical standpoint (great aim control/accuracy, hitting lots of flick shots) but then they're

Playing against subtle cheaters is imo more rage inducing once you realize it's actually happening. New or poor players won't notice and won't call them out on it or participate in a votekick because they genuinely can't

This was my experience too years ago when I played CSGO. The difficulty at higher ranks (up to a certain point) felt significantly easier than the lower ranks. Getting out of the silver and gold ranks (can't remember the exact names) w

Yeah I get that, I understand why cheat developers do what they do. It seems like there's a huge market and I find it hard to blame them trying to make a living- morality wise they're probably more worried about rent, bills, famil

Cheating in online games is a scourge and I really don't understand why people do it. It's one person selfishly getting a "win" at the expense of ~60 other people in that match having their time, pleasure, potentially mo

I wonder if this is where the whole left handedness being associated with the hand of the devil (or any evil) came from historically. Our ancestors probably weren't doing studies like this but like many religious/spiritual restric
