DRM on Steam is a choice made by the game publishers selling on Steam

really started it on a brown note

There are no good guys in this conflict.

Artist gonna artist. Some things never change.

Maybe he enjoys Swedish coffee?

The irony is, the top world record runs on Trackmania (a not-a-hot-wheels track time trial driving game) tracks are done by keyboard drivers. Driving a high performance car on a crazy, loop-de-loopy jumps and bumps and speed boosters tracks is quickest with .. WASD controls.

There's a century old urban legend that the Chinese once copied a western steam engine design, which had a dent in its exterior from shipping, and included the dent in the copy's design.

This is the big reason data collection is bad. People already lose their insurance over having to make an emergency maneuver. See: The LexisNexus debacle

If drivers are afraid to perform emergency maneuvers because they don't want to increase their insurance rates, that makes it more dangerous overall, and will increase the chance of a MVA.

I understood that reference!

Oh, good, this needed to happen. People making grandiose claims about AI's capabilities that it's nowhere near ready for needed to be shot down.

They've tried that. Take a coin, call a side, and flip it. Did you get it right? Gun shoots. Did you get it wrong? The other guy shoots and you die. That's how accurate the biometric safety is.

Also, on a device that is under extreme vibration and shock loads when used, this equipment will have issues and fail at the worst time. Guns are effective because they are drop dead simple in design.

The great irony I find is that the scriptures encourage not pursuing romance and marriage until after the "bloom of youth"... basically, wait until you are fully mature and no longer ravenously thirsty for it, as teenagers and early 20's often are.

It's rather sad that parents are trying to push their kids to start families before they're even out of high school or gotten into college/trade school/work yet. What makes them think their kid will be able to juggle the attention needed to be a good marriage partner while also putting everything they got into school or trying to get work? Especially if they have kids early on?

Your tire shop is the kind that would inflate a split rim tractor tire without a tire cage.

Specific airships made by a specific country that had no access to helium...

But then we wouldn't have that epic fail train that was the cop chasing the guy on the dirt bike and got the patrol car stuck on the tracks of an active railway.

To me, Wardriving is back in the day when you used to drive around town with a laptop and a program that catalogues all the open wifi networks in range.

The fun tax is real... except unllike the poster below, I was looking for a Base model Subaru and not the WRX (even though the WRX is a bucket list car)

Well, not bad.

Ah yes, the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust
