This seems accurate to what modern car underbodies look like, a smooth underbody is very important for aerodynamics and therefore fuel efficiency. For race cars it is often even more important not only for fuel efficiency but for downforce.

A country which doesn’t invest in its infrastructure while it’s wealthy will eventually find itself no longer wealthy and unable to afford to fix it.

They absolutely serve purpose in nature, they are a significant food source for bats and many other insects and males are pollinators.

Holy shit Intuit and GM better shape the fuck up or the workers should just hurry up and fucking do it.
- Comment on Is there a specific example of Target getting a shoplifter convicted for a small individual theft that puts them over the felony limit? 1 month ago:
What the fuck are you talking about? Stealing from a corporation and stealing from people is absolutely not the same. Corporations are not people I can’t believe we still have to argue this point.
Also of course the law takes the merit of the victim into account. Half of all homicide victims are black but in 75% of executions for homicide the victim was white. And how many of those do you think were homeless or sex workers? Don’t be ridiculous, the law is not applied equally for victims or for defendants. Assaulting a cop, on duty or not is not treated the same as assaulting a BIPOC sex worker. Every goddamn time there’s a mass shooting or another cop kills another black person why is the first thing they do to try to find some evidence of dirt on the victims regardless of the relevance to the actual case. You are living in a dream world.

Lol, American has more legal slaves than it did before the civil war and has higher incarceration rate than anywhere and you want to lock someone up for a decade for non-violent property crime where the only victim is a multibillion dollar corporation that she stole less than 100k from.
violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/target Here’s records of target having stolen 185 million dollars mostly from the American public, how long do you think anyone was in prison for that? Do you think any penalty there even meaningfully affected any executive or major shareholders life?

Huh, fair enough
- Comment on Stardew Valley 1.6 is Coming November 4th. 1 month ago:
I don’t think ConcernedApe does the console and mobile versions, I would assume he got back to Haunted Chocolatier after 1.6 dropped on PC. Pretty sure he licenses the porting process.
- Comment on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 needs 64GB of RAM for ideal performance — oddly, the game install size is only 30GB 1 month ago:
They’ve also talked about massively leveraging cloud computing and streaming, it’s likely a lot of actual scenery isn’t part of the offline file size unless you cache the areas for offline play (if that’s even an option)
- Comment on An Ubisoft investor wants to dethrone Ubisoft's founders so Ubisoft can lay more developers off 2 months ago:
Damn, you are correct, I misread the French IPA pronunciation on Ubisoft.
- Comment on An Ubisoft investor wants to dethrone Ubisoft's founders so Ubisoft can lay more developers off 2 months ago:
Grammar lesson, an is used when the following word starts with a vowel SOUND not just a vowel. Ubisoft starts with a consonant y sound and should not be preceded with an. That is why this sentence reads a little weird and the professional writers who wrote this headline should have known this, (it’s also possible they though Ubisoft was pronounced OOH-BEE-SOFT but not knowing that seems more unforgivable for a gaming journalist)

- Comment on SanDisk introduces the first 8TB SD and 4TB microSD cards - Liliputing 2 months ago:
File size is a major limiting factor in high speed video and to a lesser extent convenient ultra HD digital film. At 3840x2160 (basic 4k) uncompressed 10-bit video 1 frame is about 250 MB. An hour of footage at 30 fps then is about half a terabyte. At “only” 1000 fps you would burn through an 8 TB SD card in… 32 seconds.

I started using complex fiber supplements (as in whole dried ground foods with multiple sources and types of fiber) about a month ago, honestly life changing, cannot recommend enough.
