To be fair, Toyota bet that Hydrogen would be the winner, and it does have it’s advantages over electric.  But no one, including Toyota, invested in the infrastructure, which is why it failed despite overcoming *every* problem electric still has.  So in all fairness, they *did* look at alternatives, but they made the…

We know part 1 is basically Midgar.  Part 2 probably ends at “that” scene.  After that it’s hard to tell how it’ll be broken up.

Spot on. But I argue Tesla tackled the two biggest roadblocks to electric vehicles: Range and lack of a recharging infrastructure.

I have to ask: How is anything in this patent not covered by existing patents?

Essentially, GoG is providing a (now old) dosbox version and a config file necessary to get the game running, often removing bits and pieces that are not strictly needed (setup programs, etc).  It took me a while how to re-enable MT-32 soundtracks for most games, for example, since there’s no in-game option to do so.

Take your star.

It’s worth noting that while the F4U was designed to operate from carriers, due to poor landing characteristics it saw much wider adoption with the Marines (I believe the F4U didn’t get carrier certified for the US until early ‘44). The Navy relied more on it’s F4F’s and F6F’s, rather then F4U’s. So the most branch…

“Just a couple of weeks ago, Trump was bragging that he may stretch the trade deal to beyond the 2020 presidential election, which would be annoying. Hopefully, this small deal gets the momentum rolling.”

You can overcome some of that in design, using lower-weight materials, but at that point you get into a weight-safety-cost tradeoff analysis.

I’m an Intel fan, but most of that is now false. AMDs CPUs are just as fast in gaming, despite costing less. Games are now starting to use more then four cores, making Intels lack of core count a glaring problem for them going forward.

No, because the Free Market has decided every other non-nuclear option is cheaper. Keeping Coal afloat at this point would be exercising Socialism; you aren’t Socialist are you?

I’m OK with Nuclear as long as the worst case failure mode for a monkey randomly hitting buttons in the control room is “safe shutdown”.

China puts out half the emissions per-capita of the US. Or simply put, the US is the country that has the most emissions reduction it can do easily.

“Medicare for All is regularly very popular in polls, especially when you point out that people will have their choice of doctor, as you wouldn’t under a public option, which still locks you into networks. Do you think people would rather have their choice of insurance or choice of doctor?”

Because, he wants to force his policies on people who don’t want it; there’s a reason “Medicare for All Who Want It” polls about 30 points better then “Medicare for All” (which I note a majority of the population does NOT want). He (and others who want to abolish private insurance) are putting themselves in a position…

Castro has actually been second in party endorsements for some time now; the problem is he hasn’t had any standout moments that would otherwise shift people away from Biden. Buttigieg, by contrast, has had a series of good debates, and combined with Biden’s overall ineptness, has resulted in moderates starting to jump…

Overreaction much? I’m simply pointing out how the Internet has enabled the rise, if not the proliferation, of individuals and groups who exist sorely to wish for (and more often then not, attempt to) the hardship if not death of entire groups of individuals. And as noted above, because those threats aren’t considered…

And that’s why you have the US, and frankly most of the western world, in the state it’s now in.  Unrestricted free speech, in the age where every nutjob has a platform, is not necessarily a good thing.

The problem is some of those passes the point of “discussion”, and moves toward people actively making threats against others. Which in turn gets us into the murky grey area of discussion about whether all speech is protected, or whether some speech needs to be regulated.

Don’t see anything on my phone (S10e, AT&T).  Is this carrier dependent?
