Biggest question mark is how trail legal it is. Many trails have seldom enforced speed limits that this would far exceed, if electric bikes are even allowed

maybe he should grow a “kaiser bill” mustache, or go wait in line for paperwork (because without the south/Britain, the Northeast US clearly turns into something “German” that’s more like Terry Gilliam’s Brazil.)

I mean seriously HBO, get on this. It could be a beautiful dieselpunk epic, Band of Brothers meets Game of Thrones.

Harry Turtledove’s “Southern Victory” Series. 11 books spanning 9 decades. (Which I really wish HBO would give a GoT treatment to)

Yup. a lot of city parks represent vast swaths of city that were destroyed based on the flawed belief that density led to poverty and “slums”.

“the 9:30 a.m. Eastern start time, plus the matchup itself, didn’t allow for the biggest potential audience in the U.S.”

If you want to argue for gun control, or a gun ban, you should educate yourself on what guns are and how they work.

Lucas is constantly claiming it was all planned, but that doesn’t hold up. His early drafts about Luke Starkiller were much less focused on Vader, and often had multiple sabre-wielding bad guys (also seen in early concept art).

there was also the 2009 world series, where an illegally positioned FOX camera turned a yankee fly ball into a “home run”, due to the umpires not being versed on baseball rules about cameras

The funny thing is, before the massive explosion of WWII games in the early 2000s, the Garand was often thought of as a bad video game gun. In most WWII games, people went for the Thompson or BAR.

I’d need to see the sail plan before fully passing judgement, but that thing’s a steaming pile of nope. It looks like a rejected 3d model from A Princess John Carter of Mars or Jupiter Ascending. I’d much prefer a ship like Athena:

who owns it is a lot less important than who makes it. If a brewery gets bought, and nothing changes, or they invest in a larger brewery to make just that beer, that’s fine. Plenty of Inbev labels are legit local breweries that got to expand their footprint thanks to a huge cash bump.

You can drive in it, I can drive in it, but this kid from SoCal, he don’t want no part of that.

That’s a lot of snow, probably 6-8 inches, and it looks like heavy wet snow. Pretty much not going anywhere that day, unless you walk, and most people outside of core cities have nowhere to walk to.

“Appointment television” still works with streaming, people who care were talking about Arrested Development, Orange is the New Black, and Daredevil the following Monday.

Yeah, my tv will show me the resolution when I hit the info button. what happens is that if it’s a legit 720p feed, it tells me, but the strictly SD stuff comes tells me it’s 1080p, because the box is upscaling it. The problem comes when a channel is SD and letterboxed, because neither my box nor my TV can figure out…

That doesn’t actually mean much. A lot of services upconvert the signal at the box, which is why second tier channels often look muddy and artifacty.

awesome to see homebrew stuff like this, but I’d really like to see some of the new wave of space combat games (Elite: Dangerous, Star Citizen, No Man’s Sky, etc...) get on board with companies like Saitek/MadCatz to adapt things for space combat like the BIP:

keep in mind that Mega brands is a subsidiary of Mattell, it may be that previous licensing deals prevent Star Trek from signing with Lego.

Subways in a swamp are tricky, but DC managed, and Miami already has elevated rail:
