This seems accurate to what modern car underbodies look like, a smooth underbody is very important for aerodynamics and therefore fuel efficiency. For race cars it is often even more important not only for fuel efficiency but for downforce.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 1 week ago:
Java is terrible and I hated it but I feel like this stuff is not why, this mostly just seems like stuff that most powerful object oriented languages do.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 1 week ago:
So will so many better languages, more so actually.

Are you fucking kidding me, Jill Stein is your answer? Jill I don’t know how many people are in the House of Representatives and I refuse to call Putin a war criminal Stein?

Wait, this seems like an insane lie too though, if there was a bunker full of money wouldn’t you want to, y’know, raid it and seize the money rather than destroy it and bury it in rubble???
- Comment on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — equivalent to 81GB of data per hour 5 weeks ago:
A country which doesn’t invest in its infrastructure while it’s wealthy will eventually find itself no longer wealthy and unable to afford to fix it.

They absolutely serve purpose in nature, they are a significant food source for bats and many other insects and males are pollinators.
- Comment on why does every single flashlight have multiple settings that you have to scroll through? 5 weeks ago:
Fenix makes a few that are like what you’re looking for, I have two, one has one big button on the back and one on the side, the back button is a simple on off and the side button cycles the power settings, if you hold down on the smaller side button it goes to strobe instantly. The other is basically the same but both buttons are on the back. I only buy flashlights that are set up like this or similar. I need to be able to access strobe instantly and I need to be able to turn it on and off at a low power setting without turning on the fire of a thousand suns to get there.

The planes are unhealthy, maybe making the employees unhealthy too will help balance things out.
- Comment on Is there a specific example of Target getting a shoplifter convicted for a small individual theft that puts them over the felony limit? 1 month ago:
What the fuck are you talking about? Stealing from a corporation and stealing from people is absolutely not the same. Corporations are not people I can’t believe we still have to argue this point.
Also of course the law takes the merit of the victim into account. Half of all homicide victims are black but in 75% of executions for homicide the victim was white. And how many of those do you think were homeless or sex workers? Don’t be ridiculous, the law is not applied equally for victims or for defendants. Assaulting a cop, on duty or not is not treated the same as assaulting a BIPOC sex worker. Every goddamn time there’s a mass shooting or another cop kills another black person why is the first thing they do to try to find some evidence of dirt on the victims regardless of the relevance to the actual case. You are living in a dream world.

Lol, American has more legal slaves than it did before the civil war and has higher incarceration rate than anywhere and you want to lock someone up for a decade for non-violent property crime where the only victim is a multibillion dollar corporation that she stole less than 100k from.
violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/target Here’s records of target having stolen 185 million dollars mostly from the American public, how long do you think anyone was in prison for that? Do you think any penalty there even meaningfully affected any executive or major shareholders life?

I don’t think ConcernedApe does the console and mobile versions, I would assume he got back to Haunted Chocolatier after 1.6 dropped on PC. Pretty sure he licenses the porting process.

Need For Speed Underground 2 I would list as a solid GOAT for the genre of open world arcade racing.
- Comment on An Ubisoft investor wants to dethrone Ubisoft's founders so Ubisoft can lay more developers off 2 months ago:
Damn, you are correct, I misread the French IPA pronunciation on Ubisoft.
- Comment on An Ubisoft investor wants to dethrone Ubisoft's founders so Ubisoft can lay more developers off 2 months ago:
Grammar lesson, an is used when the following word starts with a vowel SOUND not just a vowel. Ubisoft starts with a consonant y sound and should not be preceded with an. That is why this sentence reads a little weird and the professional writers who wrote this headline should have known this, (it’s also possible they though Ubisoft was pronounced OOH-BEE-SOFT but not knowing that seems more unforgivable for a gaming journalist)
- Comment on Amazon Contractors can't even sing in their cars now. Unions protect against this micromanagement. 2 months ago:
Please don’t bring NASA into this, the space program benefitted the lives of basically everyone on earth in incredible incalculable and calculable ways, from contributing to the peaceful collapse of the Soviet Union to countless technologies developed for it and as a result of it, to the birth of the environmental movement and a massive influx in people going into STEM. The US space program has probably done more for your health than socialized medicine would.
All of which is not to say that America is doing great and it shouldn’t have socialized healthcare, but simply to say, keep our Apollo’s name out of your mouth.

I mean, a few of them are probably fine if you’re into hookup culture, but the people who are tend to ruin it for the people who aren’t
- Comment on Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour 4 months ago:
Ok, I should clarify, unfortunately I am someone who needs a navigation app that is able to know public transit schedules and routes. Offline is generally not gonna work as it’s vital to have up to date info on rescheduling and rerouting.
- Comment on Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour 4 months ago:
Alright, what’s the next best navigation app to switch to if they actually pull this shit?
