Maybe Windows 10X was the train wreck and we got to skip it.

And by “isn’t so bad” you mean its completely carbon neutral. All of Iceland’s electricity is made from geothermal, hydro, and a tiny bit of wind power.

I bet there’s a ton of small quality of life improvements in Windows since XP released 20 years ago. Can XP even handle multiple monitors easily? Try XP again and tell me what you find.

IIRC, Iceland is one of the places where geothermal power makes a ton of sense due to being a ring of volcanoes...

Don’t Windows releases follow the same rule as Star Trek movies; IE every other one sucks? Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10 have all been pretty great. Windows ME, Vista and Windows 8 were train wrecks.

She is one of the guiltiest defendants I’ve ever seen.  The Feds have her dead to rights, why not plea this thing out and save everyone time and money?  

step 1: build an underground weed farm

Those are also classic signs of a weed farm, though. Grow lights, irrigation, and temperature control require a lot of electricity. (And if you’re already illegally growing pot, you’re probably not paying for it!)

Most of the longest suspension bridges in the US were built before 1960. There are 614,387 bridges in the US National Bridge Inventory, 42% of which are more than 50 years old. 9.1% are structurally deficient.

LOL.  China is very large.  China has very large distances between cities.  Some sprawling metro areas in China are the size of Rhode Island.  China also has an excellent rail system for moving people between cities. But there are those that don’t live in cities and they have some mighty fine roads to drive. 

French guy here.

Those are definitely not one-way streets. That is a bunch of people getting so confused by a roundabout that they pulled into oncoming traffic lanes. Which is confusing.

Of course, the typical and reasonable way to deal with a roundabout when you’ve never seen one or been taught how to navigate it is to stop instead…

here’s the rules of lane use for a french rond point. after about 8 years of giving other drivers the stink eye for what i thought was negligant lane use, my french wife finally corrected me. asking why i did it the way i had been. i was using the inside lane to go straight. you are supposed to use the outside one to…

Ah I remember my first time going through a roundabout, all ten minutes of it. When I was in drivers ed the instructor on one of the drives was like you know technically you don’t have to exit a roundabout on the first go, so let’s just relax and get used to roundabouts, and just had me drive in circles for legit like…

IMO racing incident, but if we absolutely needed to assign blame then Russel was definitely at fault. Bottas left him enough room, but he spooked and put his wheel on the grass. Watch Driver61's analysis of the crash looking at on-board.

So like, everyone’s writing this like the crash was Bottas’s fault, but I know what I’m seeing, Russell lost control, he broadsided Bottas, he made the move to the wet side of the track. What gives?

The Model X weighs between 5100-5600 lbs. 

VW’s current midsize CUV, the Atlas, weighs in at 4600 lbs in the higher trims. This isn’t that much more.

It’s a Chinese VW, so it makes sense. It is designed for China and probably by VW’s Chinese branche as well. I highly doubt this will become available in Europe.
