I did not look. For some reason this article just came up and I assumed it was something current.

There are other issues with US highways, but please, there are vast stretches of straight-as-arrow roads in the US. Likely far more than in Germany. The US is much larger and less densely populated.

I hate Montana drivers. For some reason if you try to pass them on a highway (one lane each direction with a dotted line) they feel a need to speed up as they apparently don’t want you to pass and rather you get stuck in the wrong lane and end up in a head on collision with someone coming the other way. Had slow…

This is a cute suggestion but completely ignore significant differences in feasible infrastructure.

Given the decorative nature of the bulb, it is likely akin to a low wattage edison style LED that provides ambiance. If the LED was equivalent to a 60+ Watt bulb, chances are you would not really be able to admire the wood patterns.

Some basic knowledge will tell you that if a 13 Watt LED puts out the same light as a 100 Watt incandescent, it pretty much means that you have the difference (87 Watts) by the incandescent all being turned into heat. So no, the incandescent puts out much more heat.

That is due to the adjustable air suspension lowering the back. If you watched the video where they demoed that feature you see it goes back up.

Having done some lengthy road trips with kids, I agree it is doable. However, it depends on the kids and parents temperament. Before we would leave on the road trip we would put together for each kid a bag with projects and games to keep them occupied with. I think the kids having the idea that they have something new…

They sold a bunch of Founder and Premium editions which include a few months free, so they already got some of the folks more interested in gaming on-board to test it out already. Probably less users in the initial stage is better for them as it allows them to deal with performance issues before the casual users all…

You don’t need to pay $10 a month. You can buy the games and play for free, limited to 1080p (not sure the frame rate). The $10 a month gets you 4K streaming (I think at 60 fps). The $10 a month also will give you access to an expanding library of free games. Think of it, instead of investing in expensive video cards…

I would think the key aspect of the service at launch is how well you can play a game on it. If latency, frame rates, and everything about the game play goes well, it will mean that there is potential for everything to follow. If the basics don’t work right, the service will never take off.

I recommend anyone building a new PC to use 16GB. While actual amount of RAM used will likely run between 6-10Gb, for some reason it seems Windows works best when it is not using the full amount of RAM and you have some decent overhead. Cost-wise it is quite inexpensive and just so much easier to do when building than…

Been checking the last few days to see if they had the update out yet due to this exploit being published. Installing it now (Pixel 2). Definitely a big part of why I like the Pixel phones, they get updates timely. Good to see the other OEM’s stepping up to patch this flaw (although wonder if they are covering all the…

Do you recall Iraq setting Kuwait oil wells ablaze creating a massive environmental disaster. Everyone does the wrong thing that is life. Post WWII Russia and US allowed what would be termed war crimes under the Geneva conventions to happen to German settlers. That we rationalize that not to kick them out would have…

I did not bother to go with a detailed reply as this would be never-ending. What I am saying and this applies to Sykes-Pico as well, there is a backstory that builds up to these things. It is not just the US or the UK that is the bad guy or acting in bad faith, rather often there are many characters acting in bad…

You must enjoy ignoring a long history that gets things to where they are now. Why not, next, waste your time explaining to us how Germany was simply misunderstood during WW2.

Yes very pragmatic. Furthering the prophets vision. Don’t these folks believe that we can only have peace when everyone is subjugated to Islamic law? At least in Saudi Arabia, the rulers are thinking about their own pocket.

And reduces the risk that your bag gets lost.

Usually we try to have stuff in the backpack under the seat that we need. But consider a recent trip... On the last day of the trip we got to the airport after a full day of activities. While we tried loading the carry-on and knapsacks in anticipation of the flight, for the things we used during the day, there was…

How would this be enforced? Sounds like it would slow down boarding times.
