  Fun fact, it’s called a parliament! I regret that I am not an owl.

  If she farted, would it make a ringing sound?

  I got a speeding ticket a year ago, and they included a link to a video of me going too fast through an intersection. In my case, I was between two other cars, and because I was unfamiliar with the camera, I was the only one that didn’t tap on their brakes while going through. Regardless, the video was clear evidence against me, so I paid it.

  In short, I think they’ve gotten much better since your experience. It at least felt fair.

  He can blame them in the short term, until he finds the next thing to blame for his actions.

  Even if the tech was perfect, they’d be far too loud. Drones are already pretty loud, but you wanna make em huge and everywhere? Ugh.

  I was disappointed when I saw that there are few roads in the game (my expectations were far too high). I was hoping for, idk, 70% of roads? Really, some sort of driving game using google maps data would be pretty awesome, if a nightmare to process all the images. Hmm, data storage would be an issue too… streaming would be too slow (I think).

  Susceptible.

  I totally agree with your words, as a US citizen. Don’t ever give in to wanna-be dictators!

  Hey, I’ll give it a shot. With how many hours I’ve poured into Runescape over the last… 17 years? Damn, it’s been a while. Anyway, with all that time, even if this game was 1/10 the level of fun, it’ll still be a great time for me.
