Incidentally! Incidentally! Incidentally! Incidentally!

Until recently there was a Russian sub on display in Providence, RI. Unfortunately it was swamped in a storm and it looks like it's being sold for scrap.

Any chance that this is actually something intentionally designed?

My wife drives an 05 Mini Cooper with the CVT. As you depress the gas the car smoothly accelerates until you get near the floor. At that point you can feel it click past a little switch and the CVT will down shift to take you to just below redline.

This is obviously not the same car or design, but something similar that a driver was unaware of could seem like a random acceleration.

We already have more than 3. Try again.

And you're not even going to mention the

INT MAIN(VOID) { COUT "\

at the top?

May not be quite what you're looking for and pretty old now, but the Combat Mission games used a hybrid system. Both players issue orders to their units and then the computer executes one minute of action before pausing to allow issuing another batch of orders. Units try to follow those orders, but will react to what happens during the minute of action. So if you order a squad to run across a field and 30 seconds in they start taking heavy fire, they may go for cover instead of following the original order.

"Aagh! That's the saltiest thing I've ever tasted, and I once ate a big heaping bowl of salt."

"Bender! Is this salt water!?"

"It's salt with water in it if that's what you mean."

They travelled 20,000 leagues while under the sea. No one said it was straight down.

I bought one a couple months ago and was able to initialize it just fine on a Mac.

Correction. Which one should not use over brick and mortar. I live in an old (by American standards, >100 years) section of Baltimore that's entirely brick and mortar row houses a few of which have vinyl siding. And, yes, it is the ugliest thing you've ever seen.

The little of Catonsville I've seen, I liked. It reminded me of where I grew up. Old single family homes with small yards. Sidewalks, and still some stuff in walking/cycling distance. Probably would be one of my first choices outside the city.

Because Columbia is a suburban hell hole? I live in Baltimore and work in Columbia. I'd never move there. The city still has a lot to offer. Dozens of restaurants, pubs, and shops within walking distance with nearly infinite variety because very few are chains.

But a lot of the rest of your post isn't far off the mark. There are large swaths of the city that I wouldn't ever consider living in. And should I ever have kids, the school system would probably force me to move out of the city proper.

How can you possibly misspell QWERTY? It's spelled correctly on the damn keyboard.

You may not be able to move your whole body that fast, but you can get parts up to that speed. It's not too hard to throw a small object at highway speed, so being able to react to someone else doing it could be quite useful. Same idea applies to a punch or kick.

You should watch some more recent episodes.
