Endless combat with uninteresting mobs is just a recipe for boredom. At least most goblin encounters can be mopped up in about an hour.

I don’t think they’d need to add sensors to every tray. If there is only a single loading bay then the system would only need to check for overhangs on that one spot and refuse to close the gate if it was not correctly aligned. I still think that the entire system should be covered in sensors though in case vehicles…

My only issue with running Micras at CTMP is that it’s nearly a 2 minute lap for those guys and everybody stays pretty close together. Every 2 minutes you see a large group of cars going by but if there aren’t screens set up for that weekend’s main race you won’t see any action unless it happens right where you’re…

It was probably the cheapest solution that technically met the written requirements. Everyone gets upset when the government spends too much of their money so they probably had to go with the lowest bidder rather than their preferred solution.

This idea still seems to suffer from the problems that plague other proposals that remove private ownership of the vehicle along with adding a couple new issues, the biggest being how will empty pods be distributed?

If the warrant was for ‘Electronic documents related to...’, you can’t set your server room on fire and then claim that the backups you store off-site are out of the scope of the warrant. In my opinion, remotely locking down the hardware so that nobody, even the person that the hardware is assigned to, is able to…

Happened to a ship I was on during an Alaskan cruise. In Juneau the boat stayed at dock 30 minutes beyond its departure time but eventually had to leave. As we pulled away we saw two exasperated people running down the dock. They had gone on a non-cruise excursion and their bus had broken down.

Assigned dinner time/table

Carnival is the Walmart of cruise lines. Paying a little more for Princess or Celebrity will generally give you a better experience.

If it were a modern anime, the series would probably end just before the duel started and people would have to read the untranslated manga to find out who actually won the fight.

Yep, my C-Max Energi does the same. In my car I believe the heater uses the standard coolant heating core along with an electric element that heats the coolant, but when it’s quite cold the engine always fires up until the cabin’s up to temperature. Given the amount of energy that’s required to heat the coolant (I’ve…

I don’t use Amazon Prime. I don’t do much online shopping, and when I do I don’t need immediate delivery. I do want to watch Made In Abyss, but there was no way I was going to pay $150 to watch a single show (if it was even offered in Canada that is). For me to watch anime it would indeed have been a double paywall.

I’ve heard that the buffer on the expiration date is in case you run into problems while traveling. Once the passport expires it’s hard for anybody to travel internationally even if the trip is back to their home country, so what happens if your passport is set to expire the day after you return from your trip but you…

I was looking at buying a used PHEV when last shopping but ended up buying new instead. The reason? Dealers weren’t taking the EV incentives into account when pricing their used offerings.

Hopefully never. If they add dogs I might have to kill someone else’s dog to get that Chicken Dinner, and that’s just not happening.

Bought it yesterday on Steam. I had it downloaded and beaten within 70 minutes.

We don’t see whether there are any intrusions into the footwell that may cause injuries, and the lack of a side airbag and poor restraints fail to keep the driver contained so his head impacts the B-pillar in a fairly dangerous and painful fashion.

I got a similar credit for buying my Ford C-Max Energi. Total cost after the rebate was only $23k.

Listen, if the railway companies didn’t want to deal with a company that performed unnecessary work and dumped waste into the ocean, they would have gone to one of their competitors and the invisible hand of the market would’ve taken care of the rest. The fact that this company was still in business means that there…

I’d guess that it’s braking force is set to maximize scavenging, thus extending overall range. If the driver slows hard enough that the regenerative braking isn’t enough and the brakes need to be applied, that’s lost energy. I drive a plug-in hybrid and have already noticed myself barely dragging the brakes to slow…
