    Petrolheads, SUV owners, I need your advice (car buying)

    You're right there, I thought that went without saying. Same as "all season" which means every season except winter. Don't forget, I'm from Eastern Ontario, Canada. I just live in houston Tx now, cuz my wife got fed up with having 14 feet of snow on the ground.

    My Starfarer Saloon model has dorm areas that can be suitably modified, but I'm not sure if you're aware of this but the male avatar models in Star Citizen are actually missing some of the required parts. Do we need to suggest an Xcite outlet on Thurston? (a Second Life vendor where you can...

    That's cool enough!!! One of my all time favorite aircraft to fly in is the CP-140 Aurora.

    Petrolheads, SUV owners, I need your advice (car buying)

    I have only two pieces of advice, and a question. 4WD feels good in snow, but it's deception. What you really need is front wheel drive for winter driving. If it snows where you are, take an informal survey of the number of 4WD vehicles in the ditch. You'll find there are proportionally way...

    "Joystick"

    I also own the Thrustmaster T-16000M joystick/throttle combo. Amazon generally has the best price, and if you're a prime member, you get it tomorrow kind of thing. It works pretty well, no complaints at all, and I've used a few others that were far more expensive. My satisfaction with higher...

    Very good advice. If you have patience, preparation and persistence you can achieve any goal. Where one or two are lacking, you will probably miss your target. That is not a failure, because as long as you're on the journey it's easier to fix than it was to start the journey in the first place.

    If I had my way, there would be a Starfarer design called the Starfarer Saloon. The Saloon will be a standard Starfarer in almost all respects, with the following changes: It will feature a fully functional Irish pub, or similar style tavern in what is now the cargo hold. The kitchen will be...

    Propaganda dump March 2018

    http://www.darwinawards.com Not so much anymore, but it used to be an Internet meme. Gives you a sense of the number of hilarious ways sentience is not the same as sapience.

    Propaganda dump March 2018

    Not the right question. The proper question is, "Is the population too dumb to have a modicum of common sense". The answer can be summed up in a short story: Yellowstone National Park has very large signs that say things like "DO NOT FEED THE BEARS". Nevertheless, and normally directly in...

    Make sure your kids look both ways before crossing the street!

    There isn't a word to describe this. There should never be a word that describes this. The video was beautiful, and sad beyond measure. Thank you for sharing your anguish with us.

    Trump plans meeting with video game makers to discuss gun violence

    Politicizing this conversation, or turning it into a partisan agenda is not going to help resolve the problem. It's not Left vs Right. Not Liberal vs Conservative, not Democrat vs Republican. As soon as politics becomes involved in this conversation, everyone has lost. EXACTLY.

    In this case, I think the action was on the part of BBTV, not YouTube because the explanation in BBTV's message, and @DirectorGunner is not the only person who's channel was dropped by BBTV on February 28th. This past January and in the beginning of February, YouTube clarified some of their...

    It actually looks to me like it was BBTV doing this, not YouTube. If you'd like me to explain that I will. Make no mistake. Companies do not exist for your benefit, and they do not have your back. They exist for the benefit of their shareholders, and for no other reason. Don't ever forget...

    They're maximizing control over their revenue streams. Perfectly natural way for a company to behave. My advice is to hedge your bets. Set up Ad-Sense, it makes sense anyway since even if you don't they'll just inject ads you don't get paid for anyway. Then investigate other platforms...

    [CONCERN] with realism in video games

    Yes there can be. A developer can go overboard on each too, so something can be simple, but incredibly hard to use, or complex but incredibly easy to use. You mentioned WOW earlier. That is actually something that is simple, but can be incredibly hard to use. To see what I mean, just take...
