Two cars length? Are you nuts? 30 feet is not a safe distance on at highway speeds. If you want to apply the rule you should leave 200 feet when driving at 70mph. Now I’ll admit that I don’t apply the rule that vigorously if I’m overtaking and I am moving fast enough to make up the distance quickly, but just because…

People don’t “have to” weave. If you’re overtaking people on the right you’re the biggest asshole in existence. We all get stuck behind slow traffic sometimes. Deal with it. Sit back, wait for an opportunity. Somebody obstructing traffic is not an excuse for reckless and dangerous behaviour.

Just someone “manages” to pass you on the right doesn’t mean it wasn’t completely asinine and reckless maneuver.

People don’t have a problem moving over when there’s no reason not to. But as with every rule ever, the problems arise when two rules are in conflict with each other. And in heavy traffic where the cars in the right lane are keeping the minimum safe braking distance, you cannot safely move over without forcing…

“It's gonna be amazing”

Cadbury chocolate is so cheap and full of sugar and vegetable fat it doesn’t qualify as chocolate in most European countries. Seriously, it was a long battle over food labelling standards for Cadbury to be able to sell their not-chocolate.

Rulers and tape measures are bulky. Printed rulers are great for small things andd caan be cut to whatever length is needed.

Carbs are the boogey-man of the hour right now, but the ratio of macronutrients is an ongoing contested topic. It depends on dietary habits. Most nutritional authorities think fat is the bigger problem, and it's also way easier to overdo the fat due to it's high energy content.

The biggest problem when trying to stick to guidelines is getting the recommended protein intake (even for the comparatively modest government recommendations) and staying *under* the maximum calorie intake. High-fat and high-carb foods are far more common than high-protein foods, so people tend to hit the calorie…

Blackface refers to the sooty makeup and the performances. Putting someone who already has tanned skin under the right light, maybe applying a light makeup, and dressing him up to impersonate a celebrity with slightly darker skin is really stretching the definition.

What makes it all the more weirder is that Majora's Mask is reuses practically every asset from Ocarina, yet still feels more original than games which try a massive engine overhaul and reboot.

Back in the day I was in the more unusual position to have played Majora's Mask before playing Ocarina, because I borrowed it from a friend and that's how things worked out. I too was slightly turned off initially. "What, no Zelda, noTriforce?" "Only 4 Dungeons?" "Play as child Link all the time?" "Man, I hate this…

>If you do, the first New 3DS-only game is only two months from release and might be worth a purchase just for that.

When you assess the risk of pathogens you could conclude a lot of hygiene habits to be unecessary. But that doesn't mean they're not psychologically important to some people.

A large part of the reason why we say N64 games don't age well is because of the blurry textures. An image with similar colors and no detail looks boring. Majora's mask was a vast improvement over OoT, large due to the better textures, and that's thanks to the expansion pack.

I've used an online service from my VOIP provider the few times I've needed to fax: Just upload an image, PDF or whatever and type the number. There's always some tech company that comes to the rescue whenever there's an idiotic requirement.

I think the point is bemoaning the bureaucracy that leads to such an attitude in the first place. One supplier I dealt with couldn't have made ordering parts any easier: Order online before 5 and get it delivered the next day. As a commercial business they strived for improvement and efficiency.

To sign a document you use a "key", which is like a password that you keep secret. Other's can then check that the signature was made with your key, without needing to know exactly what your secret key was. Without knowing the secret key, no-one else will be able to spoof your signature. All of this is base on Maths…

I'm astonished every time people treat a signature like it's something secure like scrutinizing my hastily scribbled signature after a credit card purchase, or the weight certain courts give to written contracts.

I actually checked that before posting, and it appears even the new Nokia dumbphones use micro-USB. The Samsung dumbphone I bought last year had some alternative connector on it, but these examples really are the last vestige.
