naw, that’s how it came from the factory.

If they could somehow merge CKII with a good Total War game, I would never leave my computer. In fact I might just starve to death as a result.

It wasn't me!

Timing chains not needing replacement is really only a myth, but on just certain cars and after certain km. and this number will be rather high. It needs to be replaced mostly on high performance cars. For example E39 BMW M5 will need it at around 200k km. 6 cyl BMWs like the E36 will also need replacement, depending…

I think VG's big mistake was trying to continue the development of its hybrid rocket motor. I appreciate Rutan's desire to go with the quickest and simplest thing on the market, but it doesn't seem that the motor scaled very well for SS2.

The Kettering Bug:

You notice how when you are traveling on the interstate, and the speed limit is 70 or 75, and there aren't many trees, houses, sharp curves, intersections, or traffic signals? It isn't because that specific stretch of road won the speed limit lottery. Speed limits aren't fucking random, they are tailored to the…

That absolutely makes it impossible to ever be considered an option in my book. It is binary: any fake sound stuff from the speakers means '0' and no chance ever in hell that I'd buy one.
