Pretty much. There is a culture where a lot of things are still done by hand. Not because it’s cheaper, or more efficient, or anything that would increase margin. But because it’s better. Because there is a mindset amongst those who do a thing that the goal is to always be perfecting, refining, and doing better at…

All I can picture is a a local meathead with RedSox/Pats gear, saying “Hey Sully, let’s you and me go up ta quincy mahket and go minin’ for some fuckin pussy!”

It’s nice to see Honda understands its civic duty and is reacting accordingly. Perhaps the initial recall was a pilot program, to see how the recall pace would fit with their new airbag supply? This whole Takata recall has been quite an odyssey.

Ehh Fahk you guy

I lead an active life. I eat lots of veggies, they have carbs too. Maybe not as much as a plate of white pasta, but enough. Sweet potatoes are something I have in my kitchen at all times, and they have a fair amount of carbs. I just tend to avoid pasta and bread on most days.

Thoughtz (because I know you’re just SO interested in them) ;)

— Backwards Compatibility. More “Can’t just flip a switch?” Whatever, I’ll take it. This might make me get a 360 after all.
— Mass Effect. Not enough of it.
— Final Fantasy VII Remake. The first person I see flying through the air like mother fucking Goku…

Counterpoint: Drink whatever wine you like, don’t listen to people on the Internet.

It's like Japan is the only one trying to improve the world and make it a better place.

In another example of it being a small world, I’m actually from Cornwall and many years ago I used to work in ECLP’s china clay pits near St. Austell during summers when I came home from college. Shift work - I used to particularly enjoy the night shift, alternating between operating the powerful hoses (monitors) used…

Yeah, but was it this loud?

This isn’t finsihed and wasn’t ready for prime time.

so a possibly staged event confirmed an assumed stereotype? that’s nice.

They wrote stuff on their cars that would be offensive to bigoted assholes.

Actually, the only way to prevent a bad influence from an outside source is to remove outside sources completely from your child. And parents who lock their kids in their homes and never allow them to leave are not good parents. Your kid is going to be influenced by shit that isn’t you, that’s why ratings systems…

You know, we can even posit you can get cancer from demon titties, but kids can’t go to the corner store to buy demon titties so who cares?

You can’t get cancer from demons titties.

According to the coffee mug, there are camels in Japan.

“On the street, folks are distracted, tired, or drunk.”

That’s because you drive a boring car.

Lots of variables. If you’re working on a MMO that is already live, you have to upkeep that product, fix bugs, fight fires, etc.
