Mr. Harriot. In case you hadn’t seen... it’s now being reported that one of the parties in this incident lost their job. The apology starts with “I’m so hurt” which is pretty much all the follow-up I needed to move on...

Yeah... I get that. The diagrams are all garbage. We covered this below.

Yeah they certainly don’t look comfortable on their perch. And since they’ve remained there I suspect there are some scale issues with these maps. Certainly doesn’t look like a place you’d want to be for an hour let alone days or months.

Yeah this is all relevant. I think the diagrams just don’t do the justice to the difficulty. I mean... if one of the plans was just to leave the teams in there for 6 months until monsoon season dissipates, it certainly can’t be as “simple” as the diagrams make it look.

Yeah I just remarked to essentially that. 

Yeah but only one seemed to be “cave” and the others seemed to be just sort of a long swim. I’m certainly not suggesting that this journey wouldn’t be challenging or difficult. If a SEAL diver has just perished, I’m sure we aren’t getting the completely full story and the media outlets aren’t inside the cave so... who…

This is what is so unclear to me. In the CNN diagram above, it looks like there’s basically only one area where they’d need to swim through? This can’t be right if SEAL divers are perishing on the trip though?

I’m not really a NASCAR fan currently, but I watched a lot growing up. In fact, I hardly watch racing at all currently... but I do a lot of video game racing. NASCAR is a great thing to have on for background noise and the racing is really pretty good. The biggest complaint is always the ovals which makes for great…

But does it even matter? It’s all just brands on the bodywork. They’re all standardized V8's with 4 speeds. If we were REALLY going to look at a citizen spec NASCAR setup. Toyota would deploy the Crown or Crown Majestas (Lexus GS/LS). The Supra is JGTC all day. Ford SHOULD run their Taurus’ and GM SHOULD run their LS’.

…

Yeah I mean I get that but like... WTH is Toyota even doing? The Camry has an aero kit. The LFA? The Supra in NASCAR? Why bring it back in name (which is itself meaningless) pass it on to BMW and then send it to NASCAR?

I’m so confused by Toyota. Like... they seemingly want nothing to do with making anything other than beigemobiles. They didn’t want to get in on Forza 7 apparently. Then... they offshoot to Subaru for the GT86, they go to BMW for the Supra. Now... they decide to take a car that is really designed for other types of…

Get a cat. Job done.

Now THIS... would make perfect sense.

No one deserves to be harassed for a video game. Hopefully the typical things don’t ruin this person.

I’m sorry. There’s no WAY that this bridge expanded to the point that boat clearance became an issue. It is MUCH more likely that the water level had gone up (or expanded) because of the heat. EVEN IF the bridge expanded (which it of course did... it’s science) it would’ve changed that clearance by an inch  or even a…

Devastating.

It was a poll, but if we’re on a quest to prevent people from getting dumber, we’re focusing our energy in the wrong area.

Your sentiment is correct, but maybe your emotion is mis-directed. Rather than being concerned about whether or not we’re better or worse than someone/thing else... why don’t we just look for ways to make whatever negatives exist better?

The list for FH4 is just the same as Forza 7.

Wait. Is a 14 year old Passat a “beater” now? What website am I on? WTH is happening?
