He’s just a troubled young man /s

I’d be surprised if they had net positive income on Tribes 3. A lot of veteran gamers of the series saw who was really running development and decided to stay away. Once bitten, twice shy. The writing was on the wall that it was a dead game back in June.

The requirements shaped the design. They wanted mail carriers to be able to stand up in the cargo area without having to bend over → tall cargo area and tall doors. High visibility → a large windshield. Along with the options of a BEV or ICE powertrain → duckbill front.

Personally, I think it’s iconic and obviously less of a deathtrap vs the current vehicles.

Yeah, I would mostly agree. The poll peaks in 2020 when there was COVID, a virus that was putting people in the hospital on ventilators and had a mortality rate we hadn’t experienced for over a century. Along with a healthcare system barely holding on, lockdowns, masking, social distancing, a major recession, people losing their jobs, kids going back to school with all that chaos, and in the middle of one of the most chaotic and stressful presidential elections in history. BUT 55% of people were better off in 2020. Hmm…

Yeah, I remember this one too. Going back and reading one of the articles from when it happened, and I just don’t have words for it.

Also a sovereign citizen.

OP said die and I’m going to take him at his word 😉

So you want to die in a burning boat‽ While some countries in Europe allow for assisted suicide, I don’t think any allow for self immolation while at sea.

Now if you’re looking for a viking funeral procession after your death, I would think environmental regulations would be the biggest hurdle.

I have one like that. He’s so fluffy and soft and his fur gets everywhere.

Must have been all that red meat

At one point, an officer walked into an MRI room, past a sign warning that metal was prohibited inside, with his rifle “dangling… in his right hand, with an unsecured strap,” the lawsuit said.

Apple has a long history of working against right to repair and third party repair shops. This includes making it difficult for third parties to source the parts needed and changing the designs to requiring part pairing in the name of security. It got to the point where repair shops were buying broken Apple products so they could hopefully source the parts needed.

Looking through what they provided now, it’s basic stuff any third party repair shop could do if they could source the parts. It’s useful. However good electronic technicians can go beyond that and do board level repairs. But that requires schematics and diagrams. A lot of times they would have to get those through other parties who in turn got them through less than official means or violated NDAs.

Guess what Apple isn’t providing? Board level information. This is just doing the minimum the law requires them to do.

Looks like someone is copying the contents of news articles from various sites, but there is no attribution or anything to tell you where it is from. Searching for the title I found the Time article they copied.

I would treat them with suspicion though. Not sure if they would start sneaking some other stuff in there in a few weeks or months.

The dog ate his concept of prepared notes.

It’s a quirk in Georgia’s law where cruelty to children and their death gets those charges upgraded to murder 2.

Sounds like an annoyatron or a clone. A tiny device that randomly beeps with a time interval just long enough to be hard to find and annoying. They’ve been around for a couple decades.

Yep, this is the judge that owns Tesla stocks and refused to recuse himself.

And just like Taco Bell when something goes bad you get to deal with all the diarrhea.

But seriously, shouldn’t this be in [email protected] and not technology?

I don’t know if there is a polite way of putting this, but 3rd parties are a bit crazy. It’s not that 3rd parties are inherently bad, but we’re a first past the post system. 3rd parties tend to act as spoilers to whichever party they are closer to. Until the spoiler effect is fixed, you have to be a little crazy to run as a 3rd party candidate.

And like you mentioned, ranked choice is one of the options to making 3rd parties viable. But the leadership for the democrats is luke warm on it and republicans are actively working against it. It’s going to take a bipartisan grassroots effort to drag these curmudgeons into a better system.

Always is. Accuse your enemies of that which you are guilty of.
