Comment Re:Trump / Hegseth (Score 1) 9

He'd like to but he's constrained by being a weenie. He never hits at anyone who can hit back. And he's already fired a lot of the cyber cops we did have. Something about keeping his minder in the Kremlin happy and some future deal with Xi from which he expects to profit handsomely. He isn't hard to figure out.

He's just being a typical American MORE BIGGER FASTER tool. I drive an 08 Versa with a 1.8l with 122hp and I have absolutely no problem being one of the fastest people on the road, because even a slow ass car by modern standards can do all the things. I never have trouble getting up to speed on a ramp or whatever.

Comment Has anyone ever used the metaverse (Score 4, Informative) 15

I have an Occulus Quest 3 headset, and the hardware is great and there are some decent games. But the "metaverse" (Horizon Worlds) is just boring. Why the fuck would I want to go into static hubs and play boring minigames? They're repeating exactly the same mistakes that made Playstation Home on the PS3 suck balls - slow loads with boring content waiting at the other end.

I have the same thoughts now about it as I did for Home - they should have just bundled a proper MMO into the headset with quests, zones, clans etc. Let people make avatars which are orcs, elves, fairies etc. Let them go into a game which has objectives and a purpose and start engaging with it. Perhaps if they did that they'd have a success instead of a dead albatross hanging round their necks.

Submission + - Trump stuns auto industry with tiny-car move that promises ultra-cheap wheels (dailymail.co.uk)

President Donald Trump says he's moving to legalize Japan's beloved kei cars — the tiny, boxy, almost toy-like vans, trucks, and coupes that have a cult following overseas. And he wants US automakers to start building them here.

This makes a lot of sense in urban settings, especially when electrified. Hopefully these are restricted from highway system.

By "in the 1940's" I assume you mean when the UN handed the region to the Jews? There were no "Palestinians" at the time, that ethnonym was invented by Yasser Arafat

There was Palestine. That's a distinction without a difference.

So, that initial "theft" was actually the rest of the world recognizing that the Jews needed their land back

And just look at the beautiful Genocide they've created there!

Congratulations! Look who you've sided with.

I'm not siding with anyone here. I dislike all religious ethnostates because they always go wrong at some point. The only thing I like is when they become more secular, like Iran was before the USA tampered with it. I am siding against genocide. If Israel can stop doing a genocide, I can stop disliking Israel for doing genocide and just focus on their religious oppression.

Honda is showing the beginning of the end by selling cars not designed by them, so maybe you won't have to wait too long for their come-uppance. Their only full sized EV is a GM product and they didn't even bother making any interior changes so it doesn't even look or feel like a Honda inside. It sounds like this can only be an improvement at this point.

It's so weird given that Honda was the undisputed champ of making a good simple reliable car in the 1990s. How did they get here? Did they hire execs from Sony?
