I loved Project Gotham Racing because it rode the line between arcade game and simulator quite nicely. I haven't seen anything like it since.

You also need to fully encrypt the traffic in your bit torrent client. You will get fewer peers, but it's much safer

This is how I keep seeing option 1 where the longer line is a chin/fat roll 😅

Well that didn't last very long. It was 8 MB for like six years and then it just went to 25 MB maybe a year ago and now we're back down to 10 MB.

I'm surprised they aren't offsetting the cost by selling all our data to language learning models like everyone else is

Depending on the hobby, this is some fucked up gatekeeping.

My first thought was riding a motorcycle as a hobby, and that is one activity that many people severely underestimate how much expensive gear you should be wearing for your safety before you even consider doing it.

There’s a dirty secret in your glass of orange juice. Even though it says “not from concentrate,” it probably sat in a large vat for up to year with all the oxygen removed from it. This allows it to be preserved and dispensed all year-round. Taking out all the O2 also gets rid of all the flavor. So the juice makers have to add the flavors back in using preformulated recipes full of chemicals called “flavor packs.” Mmm, delicious, fresh-squeezed ethyl-butyrate!

I think they realized Bridget was hitting on them, and their original response completely ignored that.

A healthy human liver contains 575 international units (IU) of vitamin A per gram while a polar bear's liver contains between 24,000 and 35,000 IU per gram. Compare that to the tolerable upper level of vitamin A intake for a healthy adult human: 10,000. Signs of toxicity generally occur when approximately 25,000 to 33,000 IU are consumed.

Illness severity depended on how much liver the explorers consumed, but symptoms typically included drowsiness, sluggishness, irritability, severe headache, bone pain, blurred vision and vomiting. While milder cases merely involved flaking around the mouth, some accounts reported cases of full-body skin loss. Even the thick skin on the bottoms of a patient's feet could peel away, leaving the underlying flesh bloody and exposed. The worst cases ended in liver damage, hemorrhage, coma and death.

I looked into it, and apparently she spent months fighting with them to replace her wheelchair. In the meantime, she developed sores from being in a generic wheelchair, and she ended up needing two emergency surgeries, and either passed away due to complications, or due to the sores directly.

This is out of date and Deluge is S tier.

It was rewritten and 2.0 came out in 2022 to address the slowdown issues when seeding a thousand plus torrents

Kurabba, the #1 player in the world, beat Isai sending him to losers bracket 1-3. Isai turned on the heat and proceeded to steamroll the rest of the tournament and beat Kurabba 6-0 resetting the bracket and taking the championship! Truly the GOAT. His aggressive pikachu was amazing to watch.

I tried browsing this community and using https://fedi-search.com/, but I can't find anything. Does anyone know if it can? If not, are there other applications that can?

Jokes on us because in 15 years all the instances alive right now will probably be dead and there will be no proof beyond an archive lol

Lightning sprites

Lightning sprites literally look like something out of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and they're frankly horrifying! I can only imagine what ancient civilizations must have thought.

I ran into this while taking geology courses at university, and the lack of attention to detail by the developers is frankly insulting.

EDIT: The red line is what the developers did. The green line is what they should have done for realism. Explanation in the comments.

I got a lot of push-back on a comment I made here about how bigger trucks/suvs are the primary cause the increasing pedestrian death-rate in America so apparently more people need to see this video.
