This explains why damage simulator BeamNG, which is continually in development and uses no licensed assets, has better destruction physics than any game of any type that I have ever played. I've wasted hours in that sandbox just hurling cars off a cliff.

People will mock you but you're right. What you say is intellectually consistent with the belief that all need to be treated equally. Some will come up with elaborate reasons why people objectionable to them deserve such treatment. Those are excuses they tell themselves so that they can practice their cruelty on…

How does the cereal cause the band to lose money or vice versa? One appears on stages, the other on supermarket shelves. People should be able to make the distinction between a musical act and a prepackaged breakfast food. If they roll out a cartoon band as a mascot then sue away.

Sure, but how many remakes or reinterpretations are clearly someone who can’t sell their script shoehorning it into an existing property then selling it to executives and the public based on a nostalgia for the original that isn’t reflected in the new work because it wasn’t written specifically as a remake?

I’d guess their point would be that how realistic these images look would be directly proportional to the problems it causes for the real person depicted.

We need to start teaching statistics and probability in elementary school. People are too easily misled by numbers they don't understand and that are often purposely not representative of reality.

I can see that but the tortoise registers first. It's wild how minor differences in brain wiring can cause such odd effects.

Did you know that there are engineers whose job it is to figure out how to keep the occupants of amusement rides safe as well as make them work properly? Universal has lawyers who try to figure out what could make their company liable for damages and work to prevent that from happening. There are accountants too, who…

I don’t think they intended that size to be standard, rather it’s about the smallest waist size possible for a healthy adult male of normal (meaning not a little person) proportions. It’s the lower limit of a range. I believe their issue is that 40" is only average if you include outliers like the morbidly obese who…

Sure, that was the intent. Optical illusions don't have to be intentional. Nor does everyone see every example. Were you unaware of that?

I see a tortoise extending its neck with it's little throat appendages below it, not a penis and testicles. I can make it look like genitals the way you can look at that optical illusion and switch between a vase or two silhouettes facing each other. But the penis doesn't appear unless I think about it.

Temperature will be a factor unless that heater and fluid pump somehow have no parasitic losses to the battery. You either lose power to the cold or you lose somewhat less power keeping the battery warm. Also the effect of reduced range in cold weather seems to be drastically increased when towing or hauling.

So do you think the label and distribution company actually aided, abetted and encouraged Manson in his crimes or did the lawyers toss them in the suit because they’re well aware Manson has little to no money? Seems like the company encouraging this would be difficult to prove even to a civil standard, especially…

If that's true for the data people are basing this comparative safety claim on then that data is meaningless at best and purposely weighted against the human driver at worst.

Never underestimate the desire of your family to keep making money off of you after you’re dead. The same people who say that nothing was wrong with Michael Jackson will watch it and enjoy it. Maybe there’ll be enough of them for this film to make a profit. But you can bet the Jacksons will be getting fees off the top…

I think he’s stopped doing the more dangerous stuff so presumably his wife learned something from all of them even if he didn't.

They can at the same time live under the threat of a school shooting and be whiners. Criticism of potential victims is acceptable, being vulnerable doesn’t make you always right.

It will also require the removal, one way or another, of a number of current Supreme Court Justices. Might get messy.

This is the same chain of logic that leads to ethnic cleansing and police shootings. Once you identify anything as an existential threat, whether it actually is or not, you make any actions to eliminate that threat acceptable. This all hinges on whether the average person is capable of discerning whether they're…

I don’t get him being with them. He has everything. Everything! What possible void could a cult fill that wealth, fame, professional recognition and the best therapy money can buy can’t deal with adequately? Hell even if he wanted rape kids and hurt people he’s got the resources to do all that without some group of…
