That patch of grass is very obviously cared for and manicured though. If somebody cares enough to mow that patch of land, it’s not a worthless patch of ground (and even if it’s not mowed regularly, it could still be a hay field).

The fact remains that a renegotiation won’t start until congress gives a 90 day notice. Will Trump’s actions today still hold weight in 3+ months time?

No, the US renegotiates NAFTA by congress giving a 90 day notice that it’s willing to renegotiate NAFTA. Both Trudeau and Nieto have signaled that they’re open for renegotiation but the US has not followed the appropriate procedures to begin renegotiation of an international trade deal.

It would be nice if racing schedules were more regular. It would be nice to know that the next race would always be (for example) on the first Sunday of every month so that even a non-fan could keep track of the next race. Right now, it seems like race weekends are chosen by firing a shotgun at a calendar and checking…

My only hope is that the “How many?” “We had orders” puncher at 1:17 isn’t the player. I think what made the original CoDs work that was lost as the series progressed was that the player was just another cog in the war machine. He wasn’t a hero. He wasn’t Superman. He was just a recruit with a gun that managed to pull…

I could recall my favourite and least favourite cars, but if you want to know what my best/worst singular car was, it was a 1989 Pontiac Tempest, similar to this one:

In that situation, you’d either split the NA server into NA East and NA West with separate matchmaking, or else you’d still have to have the servers communicate which would still introduce lag between players (with the added problem of what to do when something happens on two servers simultaneously. Either there’s a…

With how little driving I do any more (I live where there’s decent mass transit), I was hoping to spend under $10. Most used Volts in my region start around $15, though there’s one listed at $11 (that has 200 000 km on the clock, so I’m not sure about the battery condition).

I’ve been half-heartedly shopping for a car for a while. Despite being a car nut, I was raised by a bunch of eco-friendly teachers so I still feel guilty burning gas. Despite this, there’s no way I’d ever buy the current crop of electric cars. Sure, 95% of my driving is within 15 km of home, but every month or two I…

My buddy’s wife scored one by waiting outside a game store for an hour before opening. She was the last person in line to receive one. So far, it’s the only one I’ve ever seen in the wild and I’ve been hunting ever since.

Yeah, I was corrected earlier but too late to edit it. I always thought the MOAB was fuel-air but it turns out it’s a standard explosion of TNT and aluminum powder, just a whole lot of it to generate a huge pressure wave.

Yep, I’ve brought this up multiple times when self-driving vehicle articles get posted, but it applies just as equally to ride-share services. A single occupancy vehicle takes up as much space as a single occupancy Uber, but once the occupant has reached their destination the vehicle is parked and removed from road…

Huh, I always thought the MOAB was a fuel air bomb. I stand corrected.

The MOAB’s killing force comes from its blast wave rather than any shrapnel it produces. Air burst bombs work by releasing a mist of flammable material and then igniting it, as shown (in small scale) in the video below.

My first experience with Banjo Kazooie was when Rare Replay released in 2015. Without that tinge of nostalgia, I just found it to be quite annoying with weirdly designed levels and loose camera and movement controls. I played about 30 minutes of Mumbo’s Mountain and couldn’t fathom playing any further into the game. I…

Yeah, I wish they’d BoP these new purpose built sports cars down instead of raising everybody up to match them. I checked the standings and the CTSCC GS guys (running GT4 specs) were 3 seconds a lap faster around Sebring than last year (and the STs were the better race to watch anyways).

The course is just too tight in my opinion. There are almost no safe passing opportunities so every overtake is a gamble, and if that gamble doesn’t pay off there’s a chance of this happening, where the entire course is blocked.

Yeah, it’s weird how the external dimensions of cars seem to have little bearing on how much room there is for the driver. Even at 6'1 I used to rock an 80s K-car and a Chevy Corsica without any issues, but at auto shows it’s always a coin-toss as to whether I’ll be able to fit in any given new car or truck. There…

I had a tempest that looked exactly like that picture. Bought it from a repo lot for $300 when I was in university. I wasn’t lucky enough to have the v6 so I had to make-do with the 2.0 I4 that came from the factory with 90 ponies (though most had escaped before I acquired the car).

I don’t even see anywhere obvious a camera could be mounted if they were doing a digital mirror. Maybe the tiny protuberance just behind the top of the wheel arch?
