Cyclone wheels don't break easily. The problem is, the planet is too hard! :p

I dunno, my Campagnolo (Italian) bike parts are some of the best engineered bit on the planet. I'd maybe switch out the hell engineers for French engineers. Good luck getting anything done bureaucratically in Italy, Heaven, Earth, or Hell...

OMG! My family owned Fords while I was growing up. Every single one of them had a major defect...my sister bought a Toyota Corolla, never had any problems with it, and so I got one too. Flash forward a couple of decades, today I'm driving an 18 year old Camry I bought new in 2000. It just keeps...

Wait, wut? Hmmm...doesn't that make it more fantasy than sci-fi? 😁

I know! I thought it was all explained very simply, in the "obligatory" xkcd comic. Obligatory xkcd comic: https://xkcd.com/1357/

^ what he said! DUDE! You can get a "kei" car! Drive it for 25 years over there, and then I'll take it off your hands...for a fair price, of course! see: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/04/a-beginners-guide-to-the-world-of-weird-and-wonderful-japanese-import-cars/

This is a thread on an internet discussion: NO FACTS ALLOWED!

Mind. Blown.

Different countries have different laws. And even in the USA, "freedom of speech" is not absolute. The famous example is, you don't have the freedom to jokingly yell "fire' in a crowded movie theater. Also, state laws are very consistent, If you say something threatening, and the victim believes...

Agreed, especially with the internet now, you can book directly with little places all over the world, and you can ask the hotels how to get there / the best routes, etc. And you can always post on messaged boards and ask about different accomodations, and get responses from people who have...

lol, they should bundle the game with a scratch 'n sniff card (like the old SNES EarthBound). You could have a "sniff this while riding" for just a regular whiff of horse poop and your own body odor, and then they could have a different card to scratch 'n sniff after your horse just...

Excellent points! If I had my preferences, I would want CR and SC to support open standards. My dream with SC is to get rid of Windows 10 and just run it on Linux... In completely unrelated news...

Just signed up! See you then/there!

Interestingly enough, in the latter half of that Are Technica review, they talk about one of Nvidia's demos showing off the new RTX features --> an asteroid field demo! "For another taste of that enchanted-yet-anxious feeling, we tested a fascinating "Asteroids" demo, developed internally by...
