Same here. Dope music though

It’s definitely inflated but I’d say the real number has to be at the very least within 10% of that estimate (probably a lot more, but I’ve seen some AAA games at a 90% discount in the past) which is still in the billions of dollars, which is still kind of nuts

Tbh it was 100% a move to avoid pissing off the fans by only announcing Starfield

VS this

The brake pedal in the first picture is more than twice as wide as the accelerator, and it’s only about ~50% wider in the second picture

Yeah, it’s not “emergency brake” levels of slam (where you would indeed slam on both pedals), but it usually gets pressed a lot faster and harder than how you’d press on the braking pedal when braking normally.

Basically, monkey brain expects the left foot to meet with a pedal and will absolutely settle for the brake pedal if not reasoned with. I’ve done it a few times myself.

Because there is no inherent benefit to easing the clutch “in”. At least that’s the reason they gave me when I was learning how to drive, and my mechanic doesn’t seem to disagree. Basically, you want to disengage the transmission from the engine as soon as possible (especially when you’re doing that to benefit from the engine brake), change your gear, then gently ease the clutch “out”

You slam on the clutch to change gears. And you get used to changing gears while decelerating to use the engine brake as much as possible

I felt like I had already missed that chopper until I met my current gf earlier that year

The microscopist Walter McCrone found, based on his examination of samples taken in 1978 from the surface of the shroud using adhesive tape, that the image on the shroud had been painted with a dilute solution of red ochre pigment in a gelatin medium.

the shroud’s linen material was produced between the years 1260 and 1390 (to a 95% confidence level)

Seems legit

I guess it could be construed as racist when it’s literally “master/slave”. But I have never seen it as a normalization of slavery because there usually is no value attached to the terms, it’s just describing the relation between them. And I don’t think acknowledging that a slave generally doesn’t have much say in doing what their master tells them is racist in itself or endorsing/normalizing slavery.

But also, I am white, and there are other terms we can use that can describe this kind of relation just fine, so, whatever. I just get mildly annoyed when some stuff that was working perfectly fine gets deprecated just to change these terms and I have to adapt to it.

It depends on the keyboard. I’ve used some in the past that tied that feature to the current language

Wow ok, let’s just act like it wasn’t because I just installed Linux on my new gaming PC 🙄

“just work 8 jobs at the same time lol” this guy, probably

I did not 😄 but as a lazy person that’s why it instantly made sense when they told me

That barn owl weighed 320g which felt super light for its size. I didn’t ask why but I felt like the nocturnals looked a lot heavier than they are, as opposed to the other raptors we got to fly who basically felt as heavy as I expected when I saw them. I guess owls have more “fluffy” feathers which makes them look bigger ?

Yeah I love how eagle owls look. Magnificent little fellas

I learned a lot of things about raptors behavior, how they are heavily affected by their past experiences with humans, all of them have their own personalities, like some of them actually respond to flattery or praises, etc. I was a little surprised to learn that most birds of prey won’t fly if they don’t need to hunt for their survival because I never really thought about it but it makes a lot of sense, especially for predatory birds.

Someone didn’t listen to Rage Against the Machine in highschool (in “Wake up” they read an excerpt from one of these memos. It blew my mind when I finally understood the lyrics fully years later)

laughs in unreal engine

Eh, I’d still call it a win by Boeing’s standards
