If Pictionary doesn't call back to Tim Follin's soundtrack for the 1990 NES game, then it's Pictionary in name only.

Anybody else ever play You Don't Know Jack with three other people? I think that was the first really clean and comprehensible party quiz game, and a YDKJ title seems like it would be a good fit here.

Pretty much any cellphone can now do a decent imitation of a Wiimote (besides the sensors, you could also use camera data) and it would also be hilarious to see people accidentally chuck their phones across the room while bowling.

Mozilla keeps thinking that they can make Firefox popular without the nerds somehow. But all the shit that makes it better than other browsers is nerd shit, so they need nerds to advocate for it, teach other users how to use those features, etc. Meanwhile they seem to actually be trying to alienate us. Just like in the movie, here it the pulse, and here is their finger, far from the pulse, jammed up their ass. Pretzel?

You are correct, they absolutely, positively do not have a flying car. They have a drone that comes out of a cybervan. And it's six-wheeled to boot, which would be cool in an off road vehicle but absolutely sucks on pavement. I did not bother to look up whether it has rear steering because IDGAF about it even if it does, even though that would be kind of neat. The rest of it is dumb.

I think BeauHD is a dipshit for posting this dupe

False, I just did this and it did nothing.

I see you didn't read the Toyota unintended acceleration report by the Barr Group, and have nothing of value to add to this conversation.

What about top speed limiting?

And speaking of which, what about an emergency stop button? They've had a number of self-driving vehicle runaways which could have been stopped with such a thing.

Yes, overproduction is necessary. But it's also waste. And if you get too much of it, then it's unsustainable.

Fine words from a coward.

I don't want anything in the browser that I have to worry about whether it's turned on and spying on me or not.

Anything like that should be an add-on so it can be not just disabled but removed (assuming it's shipped with the browser.)

My pet Firefox peeve is with mobile. It's shitty and getting shittier. Not only does it have a javascript-related memory leak they haven't bothered to fix for many years, but now it's hanging when trying to upload images. It works once or twice and then on the third try the browser hangs. It takes a long time to get through to kill it too so it looks frankly like yet another memory leak.

Same for scrollbar width. Can't even fix that with a setting reliably, have to edit a file.

Not to mention the corruption in the construction industry itself - it's called "tofu dregs" construction. Look it up on YouTube - horrendous failures of buildings, bridges, etc.

I've seen video of "concrete" pillars with a quarter-inch thick skim-coat of concrete covering a core of sand and compacted gravel. I've also seen water pipes meant to feed fire hoses - in fully-occupied high-rise buildings - that are utterly dry. They're simply not connected to any source of water. And I could go on.

There's some scary, scary stuff that's taken for granted in China. Unsafe EVs are just one ugly danger among many faced by Chinese citizens as part of everyday life.

YouTuber SerpentZA also does a good job of exploring the topic, in a less detailed but more sensational manner:

Skip to 8:05, 9:02, and 11:01 to see vast fields of these unwanted cars. And stick around to the end to see some spectacular footage of automobiles going off like bombs. Sometimes sensationalism is useful in underlining the importance of a point.

So you took a break out from complaining about the allegedly unfair treatment of China to complain about the allegedly unfair treatment of Russia? It seems like you only respect fascism.

I had over 230k on my 1989 240SX when I sold it. It had all expected compression and ran perfectly. Got to love timing chains, it had never had any engine work done. 200k isn't impressive from any Japanese car since about 1980.
