I can’t help but point out that although it’s called the Black Sox Scandal, the players involved in the scandal played for the White Sox.

We’re not talking about high-performance cars here; we’re talking about the kind of driver who says:

Sure, marketing costs a lot of money, but I have trouble believing that leaks had any negative impact on Epic’s marketing campaign whatsoever. I mean really, is there even one person out there who saw the picture of the map and thought, “well, now that I’ve seen that I don’t need to play the game now”? I can…

They actually had a similar problem way back in Daggerfall. If you bought a house on the game and tried to put items inside of cabinets, the items would permanently disappear once you closed the inventory window.

Out of curiosity, where do those stats come from? I found a site that also documents lifetime odds of dying to particular causes, and ended up with different numbers from the National Safety Council:

Good call! Now that you mention it, there does appear to be sawdust on the ground in the first picture.

I hadn’t seen that passenger-side picture at the time of typing up my post. That definitely changes everything. The driver-side photos show enough logs of similar length ending right at the end of the trailer that I assumed the whole load was intended to be like that.

Agreed. Plus, even if the log truck could somehow stop quickly, that would just encourage the logs to shift forward on the trailer, not rearward. It looks to me as if the driver was distracted and hit the trailer. Especially if the log truck was accelerating at the time, the impact could have dislodged some of the…

It varies. Very short clips (less than 1 second) can precisely measure speed, but only if the frames/distances are accurately counted/measured. Longer clips are less precise, but in a way that benefits the driver if their speed was variable. Longer clips present an average, so if the speed averaged out to 80mph, that…

The sound doesn’t support that. Even disregarding the high pitched sound of high rpms, there are too many shifts for cruising at 50mph.

If that were the case, opposing traffic would have appeared to be moving much faster.

Blizzard chose to make it their problem by punishing three people for the actions of one. If they had simply ignored the original statement—TOS violation or not—they would not be in this mess. After all, I have a lot of trouble believing Blizzard’s reputation would have been harmed by a single person’s brief opinion…

This is the price Blizzard pays for violating their own TOS. This isn’t happening because one player made a political statement. This is happening because Blizzard as a company implicitly made a political statement by sanctioning that player and two other people caught in the crossfire, thus bringing disrepute to…

There’s a stupidly simple solution to this. Simply stop calling them minivans. Lump them in with SUVs, and it’s no longer possible to categorically dismiss them. Save the minivan name for vehicles like the Transit Connect.

Unless they can somehow make PhotoShop-resistant models, changing the models is going to be a losing battle for Blizzard.

Where in the rules is Blizzard justified in punishing three people for the actions of one?

Exactly There is a time and a place. The time is now, and the place is anywhere people can make their voices heard.

I certainly wouldn’t want to see side cameras implemented as a mandatory feature unless they conform to a universal specification that allows for industry-standard replacement parts. 

It seems pretty hard to find a gaming chair with a complete absence of branding. If you’re ok with the company’s name appearing in just one place on the chair, DXRacer has several chairs with their name appearing only on the front of the seat back near the top. Their office chairs (which are really still gaming…

There must be some provision for it. Some of the freeway underpasses in LA have businesses complete with buildings under them.
