That’s not what this is. This is a software minigame to play while driving. There’s a fake tachometer, with shift point lights, and fake engine noise in the cabin for you to push the shift paddles with.

CVT fake gears is using the CVT suboptimally to make the car sound more satisfying. This is a pure fabrication. A pantomime of a transmission.

In the us commas are the thousands separator not the decimal. The number is 12,000 or 12 thousand. The one point the article that said “12,00” is a mistake where they left off the trailing zero.

Wait is that a thing? Was a supposed to sign up for notifications somewhere? No one told me.

Yes, its a deliberate choice.

Dishonored is a descendant of the looking glass studio, 0451 immersive sim games, such as Deus Ex. These are games have flexibility, they let you choose how you approach. You can fight, or you can sneak, or you can do both. The game succeeds on this goal, as you can have a very satisfying time with the combat or the stealth, and you can do both. You can fight your way out of failing to sneak.

The morality system gives the game reactions to your actions, gives your choices an effect outside of the level you’re currently on. It does encourage a specific play style but that is deliberate. The outsider is a malevolent force, who doesn’t care for this world. He gives you these powers that come with a cost. Getting the good ending requires to resist the temptation. That’s the point.

Real OGs know the best parts of the nutcracker are not in the orchestral suites. Tableau 2.

From the article:

Nvidia declined 7%, Oracle, and AMD dropped 8.8%, Meta and Microsoft dropped around 4%.

These are amounts that stocks often fluctuate. Percentages are what matter. Phrasing it as a big dollar value was lost is always manipulative framing.

The market is big. There are more than a few shares. A small change becomes a big number when multiplied by the size of the entire market. $800 billion is basically meaningless.

The numbers are fake anyway. Market cap is the value if all existing shares were sold at the current price. Nonsense. Selling all the shares would change the price in some way.

It helps if you cook the pan with seasoning.

My point was about politicians generally, but using Kamala as an example. Many do this and its a bad idea every time.

I have no opinion on her. Its irrelevant, its not like she holds any elected office.

Politicians need to learn to not comment.

Kamala wasn’t involved in national politics at the same time as cheney. When cheney was last in office, Kamala was the district attorney of SF, an local office that only deals with the laws of California. No plausible working relationship between the two. They were not even interacting with the same laws. They worked in entirely different levels of government. There is no need for any statement.

Regardless of politics, any statement like this will sound disingenuous. If she knows Lynne, Liz, Mary, and the entire family well enough to have them in her thoughts, she could tell them directly. Calling someone to wish them the best in a hard time is a commendable act. Making a public statement telling other people that you care about someone else is just weird.

I just got my blood taken. It sucked. It hurt a little bit but now its over, and I’m fine. I have a phobia of needles. It continues to be difficult every time I need it done, but I can get through it. You can too. It will not be easy, but it is worth it.

You are strong you can overcome your fear. I believe in you! <3 <3 <3

A subway is a metro line located underground. Throughput is the same. Its just more expensive to dig the tunnels

The link goes somewhere that does not use that The victor tramway didn’t use this.

Its a Coyaltix carriage. They build horsedrawn carriages in Australia to this day.

its real actually.

AI image fake. Notice how every window is a portal to a different world. The pavement texture changes at the wheel in the middle of the image. AI image generation is bad at having consistant backgrounds when occluded by something in the foreground.

Also mega anachronistic.

Not just in California. Every state has elections now. Make sure to vote. Non-federal election years have significantly lower turnout than most. It doesn’t take many votes to swing a municipal election. Get out there.

go where exactly?

It wasn’t just the white house. Also congress is the one that makes the budget, and the laws that causes a delay in budget negotiations to stop payments.

In a sensible country, the government would continue to spend at the levels of the previous budget in the event of a delay in negotiating the renewed budget. It makes no sense. There are no benefits. Please do what you did in 1814 again we need it.

If your income does not have withholdings you are required to make payments quarterly. If you owe above a certain amount when filing your tax returns you have to pay a penalty.

You can write exempt on the withholding form to stop your employer from withholding, but the forms are very clear that it is only to be done if you owe no tax. Unless you earn less than $16k or whatever the standard deduction is for you, it would be unwise to not make advanced tax payments.

You can file your forms differently to avoid paying the feds, or delaying those payments, but you do so at personal risk.

I support mandatory parking minimums, for bicycles. Many american cities are adding bike lanes to streets. You could bike there, but outside of the central core of the city there is no guarantee there will be any place to lock up the bike on arrival.

Parking minimums for bikes, parking maximums for cars.
