For the record, it was no accident. The Rafale uses a Martin Baker 16F (Zero-Zero) ejection seat. This seat is commonly used, and is used on the F35. To trigger a 16E-F, a person must 1st arm it, then pull on tabs that blow the canopy, so they don’t pull a Goose and smash into it. These tabs are on the side of the…

I honestly have no idea why it posted on your comment. I was trying to post on the comment about how wonderful the tax credit was. For the record, I found your comment extremely insightful.

Damn man, I’m sorry. I tried to leave a comment on the message above yours but my browser seemed to jump a few inches..

This is misleading. Despite all the press, the average price of a Model 3 is still north of $5ok. Assuming that those people wouldn’t buy a car at all without the $7500 rebate is just not rational. Sure, they might not buy a luxury EV, but they will still buy cars. Also, don’t dismiss the idea that giving ppl $7500 to…

Aaron Rogers is 109-64 overall, while Alex Smith is 94-71. Rogers had some studs on his teams in Green Bay and over a decade of stability, while Smith helmed the 49ers and then a KC team who hadn’t consistently won in 20 years with yearly coaching changes. Point being, I’m fucking sick of this comparison, and the…

Battery networking. With an efficient power management system, an EV could use multiple batteries (they all use multiple cells, I mean multiple batteries), with each one connecting to a charging cord. Essentially it would be like using 4 Super Chargers at once on 4 smaller complete battery systems.

I’m sick of developers thinking they always need to reinvent, to truly push boundaries. Some games will do that, but through creativity, not a mandate. I would have loved to play a Dragon Age game that uses the same mechanics of DA3, but with new characters and environments. Something akin to Fallout 3 and Fallout NV.…

How is this different from the one they sell at cvs And Walmart?

You may be 100% right, but I could also see someone at FK saying “So does anyone actually know what that thing actually does?”

Out of all the articles written about how this played out, this might be the only one that actually increased my understanding of how it all ended up. Great work!

IMHO, the big failure was price. If I am buying a Micro, it should be cheaper than a sedan, not more expensive.

I was surprised that you didn’t write about the scenery.. My last train trip was mostly shit, except for the views. Crossing Colorado was gorgeous, and they had viewing cars with giant glass walls.

I love Xbox Game Pass.. I can’t afford a ton of new games, and for the price of one AAA title I can get 4 months of XBGP. I dunno what Apple’s version will look like, but I’m encouraged by them saying it works offline right off the bat. 

I’d happily move to Syracuse full-time for MLB league minimum.. For his salary, i’d even consider New Jersey.

I just want to throw this out there, since there always seems to be another stadium scam in the horizon.. It is possible for these deals to work out. In KC, most everyone loves the Sprint Center. It’s absolutely helped to revitalize that area of downtown, and is used often for both big events like NCAA basketball, and…

My Chevy Cruze has a “Proudly Made In Illinois, USA” sticker on the inside of the drivers door, and it’s upside down and slanted 45*.

Does anyone know if the game has a difficulty slider or an easy setting? I have arthritis and can’t usually keep up with a game with Souls level difficulty..

I still struggle to understand the full scale of it. For example, the engine used to make Mario/Yoshi games works similarly to Mario Maker, essentially letting people quickly craft fully detailed levels with almost no coding. Yet, the new Mario only has the same number of levels as an NES/SNES version, and still took…

I’d like to see some love given to AC/heat.. Something like instantly cold/hot, or some form of novel vent structure. Cooled/heated seats are neat, but $100k should buy me something massively comfortable. 

True, but is it possible to release more than 3 AAA exclusives a year without jeopardizing quality?
