Probably not. India is becoming a very conservative anti-Muslim place. While, in theory, anyone can become a Hindu, the conservatives in charge cling to the idea that you are born that way from Hindu parents. They also heavily regulate immigration from Pakistan.

Even if they took the cake, that level of force is waaaayyyyyy over the top for just a damn cake, especially with elderly people.  They need to be fired because they are “killing an unarmed person” waiting to happen.  Lawyer up and sue those cops .

The convention center itself should put a cap on it. That’s why Otakon moved - they wanted more attendance and Baltimore didn’t have the capacity.

Everyone seems to be saying “after Covid” a lot in this article. It’s not over, friends are still getting zapped by it, ending in the Hospital. This has super-spreader all over it.

Any fire department that didn’t shut that down is not doing its job.

I think they had to do the inside diagonal to maintain the footprint. But it’s also redundantly designed, here. That post is meant to handle horizontal forces and there’s another right next to it.

This event makes me feel safer on Roller Coasters rather than less safe.

Pretty sure it’s a design failure but coasters across the world have these sorts of design issues and run for decades without shit cracking. It’s often cheaper to replace parts then it is to fix the engineering mistake. 

Exactly. Metal doesn’t spontaneously sheer like that. Someone had to be ignoring clear signs of stress for some time. 

clearlyLooking at the image, the crack isn’t on a weld line; it’s a failure in the vertical post starting above where the diagonal joins it. It’s clearly a stress-focus fracture, but it’s not a weld failure. I would think an outside diagonal would support the stress better, but I'm not a mechanical engineer.

The fact that routine ‘daily’ inspections missed damage this catastrophic — and by all accounts, for over a week — would mean that *NONE* of the rides in the park are safe. Because their ‘inspections’ aren’t worth shit. And both the owners of the park *AND* the inspection staff need to be brought up on charges of…

I wonder if that’s an engineering error in addition to the structural failure? Thanks to the action shot you can see how that part is probably getting stressed in ways not intended.

I do not know how the teams for these websites are distributed but I can only guess that either whoever covers Twitter was off for the weekend or maybe there’s some shared Gizmodo/Kotaku staff (they cover a lot of Twitch stuff) who was working this weekend and decided this better went under Gizmodo. Good question,…

Wada thinks family-oriented shows are going to be the new wave in anime

I don’t know if “Twitch bait” is a game genre, but if it was, this would be the prime example. it seems purpose built, with extreme haste, just to farm “oh no he fell off and he’s having a bit of a rage” highlight clips for social media, there doesn’t seem to be anything more to it other than a desire to cash in on…

Yeah, as much as I would like to hypothetically get a loan and buy this off him so I could run my own game store, there is a reason why he is straight up selling it, instead of hiring someone to work the store for him. It isn’t profitable 

Scenario 2 can’t happen because the legit play can not see nor interact with the Hallucination.

“[Players] will have figured out the cheese then and say, ‘I wonder what happens if I do this [other thing]?’” he continued. “And then they’ll go and do it? And then they’ll say, ‘Now I’ve got you Larian,’ and they’ll do it, and then ‘Fuck?!’ And it’s beautiful and it’s that level of development—we had that in the…

I doubt the previous two games will even matter much in Baldur’s Gate 3.  It’s a different character in a different time period and using a different ruleset, so if you go into this blind you really shouldn’t be missing much.

You don’t need to capitalize D.

Last year for my Birthday my grandmother bought me a “password book”. Like an old style notebook in a similar vein to how people used to have “phone books” where they wrote everyones names, phone numbers and adresses. But for website, username and password.
Without telling Nan, I was confused, like “why would I ever…
