My only issue would be the unlikely situation that a crash of that seriousness could result in the driver being able to escape with presumably minor injuries (more serious injuries would send the person to a hospital, and the police would certainly check the local facilities for a potential driver) while the two…

To Luke.

DarkViperAU, probably the biggest GTA5 speedrunner, has been doing a series where he does a much stricter pacifist run of GTA5, where the controlled character kills as few people as possible (and if a person must be killed and melee is available, then melee is used), which is much more difficult and notable…

Having played both, I suppose the distinction in situations is that Galaxies was dead (it officially closed 5 days after TOR dropped but it was confirmed to close months before then) by the time The Old Republic was released, so they weren’t competing with one another. Not only that, they were so incredibly different…

It’s not even a Schedule 1 drug, and considering we give children and adults prescription meth (Adderal), and injured people prescription opiods just short of heroin (Oxycontin, Percocet, Vicodin, Demerol), it makes a great deal of logical sense.

The only person who I saw routinely using checks was my grandmother, but even that was back around the year 2000 and she has certainly switched to using debit cards at this point (not that she pays for much since she’s nearing 90 and has been living with my aunt, her daughter, for the past 10 years or so).

Checks are…

At least here in Tampa (and probably most if not all of Florida), most Tax Collector’s offices are nearby or within the DMV, since they handle a bunch of things in regards to vehicle and other property registrations. Since you have to pay taxes on getting the property registered, it’s much easier to have it all done…

You’d be surprised how often looks skip a generation, so you often see a stronger resemblance between grandchild-grandparent than you do child-parent. At the end of the day, you’re still sharing 25% of your DNA with that grandparent, so unless there was a significant amount of admixture from the other 3 grandparents,…

DMX had a concert down here in Tampa (Ybor City specifically) a few years back. I didn’t go to the concert, but was in Ybor at the time, and after the concert, DMX walked across the street to one of the local bars (Reservoir) where they had a pool table. He got on the table and played with anyone who wanted.

DMX was a…

While it might seem like small potatoes to us, we’re not in Fischer’s situation and my general point was that none of us should be so quick to dismiss Fischer’s complaints simply because it seems minor (or erroneously perceived) in the overall context and notoriety of the situation.

You’re right, but that future potential was undoubtedly buttressed by, again, timing. Even if you were to imagine an alternate universe early-90s where GM had a skunkworks-esque team leading the EV1 fight and promised them autonomy and as much funding as they needed, it still wouldn’t have been successful because the…

The idea of the Volt came about in 2006, it wasn’t developed and released until December 2010. In fact, just looking at the concept, it was still being heavily revised at the time of the bailout, and there’s a good chance that it wouldn’t even exist were it not for the bailout. Hell, they didn’t even have a…

As a millenial myself (by definition, even though I think it’s weird since I’m 30 and was nearly in double digits by the time the millenium rolled around) and having watched Teen Titans when I was younger, I don’t know a single friend my age who watched and/or was a fan of Teen Titans or Cyborg the characters who gave…

The way you make solo movies work with main characters who aren’t particularly compelling is by surrounding them with characters (be they associates or the antagonist) who are.

Thor worked because of Loki (and later Hulk and Hela). Black Panther worked because of Killmonger and Shuri. WandaVision works because of…

Nowhere in the lifeline of the story concerning Fischer and his mistreatment did I get the sense that he was miffed because an imagined or outright planned solo Cyborg movie was scuttled by how he was portrayed in Whedon’s cut. Unlike the MCU, I don’t think every single character needs a solo movie, especially when…

Not to discount your son and how eager he was to see the line said, but think about it this way.

I’d guarantee that you were going to take your son to see JL in theaters regardless of whether or not the line was said. Going to see it wasn’t contingent on the line being said. No one who had kids who wanted to see the…

I think the issue is that, in addition to being the only black superhero of the cast, and the least known in a general sense, there’s also the fact that his contextual backstory is arguably the worst of them all. Sure Batman’s parents were killed in front of him, but he’s still the multi-billionaire scion of Wayne…

On the part concerning the “Booyah”, I think it’s highly unlikely (if not outright absurd) to think that any meaningful monetary amount the movie made would’ve come from people wanting to see Cyborg say “Booyah”. With how the DCEU had been presented by that point, and clearly in retrospect with how Snyder wanted the…

I read your reply to weatherman about it being similar to an XLR (or the aborted Cadillac Cien), and while that does make significantly more sense, I think that GM, coming off of the bailouts in 2008, would’ve been loath to introduce a high-priced EV sportscar rather than something affordable to the middle-market.…

What’s often missed, I feel, is that unlike other industries where a company with a great innovation or a huge lead provides a immense barrier to entry, the automobile industry isn’t really in that category. So, using the paradigm that GM (and others) should’ve been preparing to face Tesla because of reasons outside…

No, for a few reasons.

As much as I and other’s love Vette’s, there’s a reason why it took a long time for Vette’s to cross the $100k mark, and it’s not just inflation. Making a $150k EV Vette is akin to trying to turn a hamburger into lobster thermidor; while it would be cool if it was successful, in the end, the…
