I think if I spent thousands of hours making a game, I’d code it so every NPC the illegal downloader passed flipped change at my character (even bosses), while they muttered things like “poor guy”, “here, buy yourself something to eat”, “sorry you are so hard up, don’t worry, things will probably pick up for you in…

Not a fan of water I cannot see through, either. Good company, you are in.

I know a good stretch of Interstate 280 here in the Bay Area that would be ripe for a rumble-strip rendition of “Seek and Destroy” by Metallica. Given that you risk getting rearended at the 65 mph posted limit, nothing but speed metal would do here...

Y’know, I used to see piracy as a black-and-white issue (and I still feel that it is fundamentally wrong on a number of levels, as gaming is a leisure activity—really, a luxury—rather than a basic human need, and therefore shouldn’t be subject to the whole “Robin Hood” school of thought in terms of “stealing is okay,…

Computers control traffic lights.

shapes is a good idea

ask him something about 4th dimensional mars dick and he’ll take you to school though

That’s interesting. I had never heard of that phenomenon before, but I get it. In an old Irish neighborhood in Syracuse, New York there’s a traffic light with green on top to celebrate the Irishness. I don’t know how it doesn’t cause accidents every day, but it’s been there for years.

A red arrow on a left seems a confusing signal to me... I haven’t seen many (any?) of those in TN, the turn lanes are marked with signs and have a standard red.

Two problems: Colorblindness (or why our lights are red on top, yellow in the middle, and green on the bottom), and street racing.

Conversely we have plenty that also just sit there waving people through until there are no other cars because they're scared.

It should also be noted that American lights are stupid. In most other developed nations they have lights that use yellow and blinking to signal a light is about to change, informing you that you need to depress the clutch or that you probably won't need to stop.

Exactly. I’m not overly irritated that an astrophysicist doesn’t know a great deal about comparative anatomy. Hell, *I* don’t know this much about comparative anatomy, and I took comparative vertebrate anatomy in college.

I still love him, even if he knows dick about cat dick.

This guy is right up there with excited train guy and the double rainbow guy.

Hi (waves)

Even baby cows give it up.

If you walk on two legs, it’s because you’re a mutant ape.

Counterpoint: cow’s milk is bad for you and if you can still digest it as an adult it is because you are a mutant.
