I want a vehicle that will snap axles like that... Someday. Probably sooner than my life insurance would like, but someday.

ICE cars absolutely can runaway. Diesels are particularly prone to it with more aggressive tuning. And it's *terrifying.*

The example I chose isn't particularly specific though? It's a community that crosses over... A *lot* of different interests.

That depends *entirely* on your intended audience. The OSRS community is *exactly* the kind of people described there.

Nah, they do that because a corpse in their den runs the risk of attracting bigger, more dangerous predators.

The onager & ballista both cap out at ~500 yards, which is about what 20" 5.56x45 can do. While 22" 7.62x51 can hit 800 yards.

Realistically, an M16 with glass will have about the same maximum effective range as the Roman siege engines. An M14 would *dominate* them.

Naval use still favors twin-engine airframes, because the alternative is ditching in the ocean when you lose your only engine.

Historically... Such projects are usually failures or phyrric successes. At best, it makes something that doesn't really help any of them.

2/2 Some attempts to compete on software have been made, but never gained enough ground to be worth much. MS & Google come to mind.

There's no real room to compete on hardware though, not anymore. We've essentially plateaued on what consumer electronics can be. 1/2

Part of that is thanks to physics. We've passed the point where innovation can be as straightforward as a die shrink to make better C/GPUs.

Anyone that could haul my frame around would be impressive to me. Let alone being that much smaller and still pulling it off.

The more muscle you have, the more you need to move the rest of it. Although a larger frame can support more weight in absolute terms.

To be expected. That's a dog that is 50% hate, 50% tremble, and 25% ears. In no way is that a reliable recipe for any sort of chill.

You're gonna share at least one with me, or I'm shotgun beaching the damn wall to snag one.

In a way, that's kind of why I consider Halo CE to be a very good horror game. When it's not labeled as one at all.

And both of them have absolutely no issue selling the other one out for a stale bag of corn chips the moment they're no longer useful.

#5 Dude dodged a bullet. Pretty sure that she could barely hold anything approaching a conversation.

They gutted their menu and aren't open when I actually would want to go there... Damn shame.

They make sense where there's actual population density. It doesn't make sense to run a passenger rail line to a town of ~1500-3000, which has absolutely fuck-all else nearby. And towns like that represent a disproportionate chunk of our population. A good sized city of 15-25k might justify a passenger rail connection though.

Sort of? Gas stations generally sell gas at cost or *very* close to it. The profit of gas stations is from the snacks & drinks inside. So, when gas prices change, you're generally seeing what the station just paid for their last delivery after state & fed taxes.

They're just trying to delay the day that Ohio inevitably consumes their state.

If only more paperwork could be solved as such.

Josip Tito is about the only modern exception to that that I'm aware of that didn't really fall into that.

Depends on the context. One of the local tweakers might not notice a .22 if he got enough of the good stuff earlier.

Damn, I would have just gone to my local hospital if I knew was only going to get the MRSA achievement...

If pressed to make it work, I'd actually lean towards making sausages. After all, it works for wild boar, which can be pretty gnarly.

If the salaries at the top are the biggest chunk, then that company is almost certainly going down in flames already.
