Honestly, it doesn’t surprise me to hear these things from the left, considering how much violence was meted out against them by law enforcement for what were, by comparison, incredibly minor and ineffective protests. At a certain point, it’s only natural to wonder, “Where’s the violence against these asshats?”

“She recommended using a non-restrictive but supportive and putting the phone down...”

This is the only one I managed to salvage from what Kinja shows on my discussion history. The others are readily available with a google search for “street car evaluation study”.

Like this one, where they evaluated Detroit’s Q-line, and the streetcars of 12 other major cities, and found that most of them are slower and more expensive than projected to operate, and have continually lower ridership numbers?

With as many times as streetcars have proven to be a terrible idea, it’s amazing the operators can still manage to find city planners to bribe into letting them build more of them...

A smarter system would’ve waited to go around the biker before changing lanes. It had already noticed them.

I agree wholeheartedly, which is kind of sad considering tech is what pays my bills...

Plugs, valve covers, head gaskets, anything that happens on the side of a boxer engine. For no particular reason, they never engineer any means of access, so for a lot of repairs that might take an hour or two on an inline engine, it’s easier to pull the engine.

Speaking as someone with a considerable amount of time as a programmer: If the car is beeping to ask you to intervene, because it knows it’s about to do something that would cause a collision, you’ve already got the break point in place to intervene and tell it NOT TO HIT THE PERSON ON A BICYCLE instead of steering…

Yowza! Amazing just how sketchy they were... That must’ve been terrifying

Seriously! My mom had a convertible from the generation before this one, and it was probably the only vehicle I’ve ever driven that scared me. You could get it up to where its speedo said you were doing 85mph, but the whole thing would be shaking and wobbling...

It does a decent job on a road course...

That’s been puzzling me, too. Any luxury superyacht is going to be oceangoing. It seems foolish that the shipbuilder wouldn’t be at a major ocean port, or at least someplace that wouldn’t require such drastic measures to get their products to sea. It’s not like the registration hacks the super rich use, to say a boat…

Fair enough. Didn’t really consider that. Still, it’s true that it doesn’t need the masts up until it gets to open water.

I hear ya... Rebel Galaxy Outlaw doesn’t live up to the others, but it’s the same style of game. Elite Dangerous is such a lame implementation of everything about flying in space. It’s really hard to play anything in that genre without going back to Freelancer. There really hasn’t been a good game like that since…

They don’t even need to tow it. Any yacht this large has a motor, and a propeller. They could just cruise it past the bridge, and raise the masts at any place beyond it. This is 100% Bezos being a douche, to throw money around.

Check out Rebel Galaxy Outlaw. It’s sort of scratching that itch for me. Teeeeechnically you might still be able to play Freelancer on the Void Server. Its website says it’s still online, and it was one of the most stable, and complete mods. No idea if anyone else still plays, but the universe still has all the AI…

I had such high hopes for Brink, after the teaser cinematics, and the movement demo. My imagination was preparing me for what should’ve been something like... Mirror’s Edge meets Star Wars Battlefront. I was so pissed at what we got instead.

To be honest, I’m really disappointed that the people who bought ship after ship after ship didn’t care that it isn’t playable before they handed him the money. Maybe we need an escrow system for pre-release funding, where people can buy the ships, but the company doesn’t get paid out until a majority of players deem…

It’s a shame, because he really does have some great games in his past. Privateer was great. Hell, I can’t even imagine how many hours I sunk into Freelancer, and the mods that sprung up around it. If he’d just made a modern version of that game, without trying to make it “every single part of every single thing you…
