They do, they get very slick in some conditions. In winter/freezing conditions it’s an outright hazard. But there really aren’t that many such streets left, and the few that are are slowly being changed to asphalt too.
- Comment on Where has the tax money "saved" in uk austerity gone? 2 days ago:
Most of the politicians in power over the last decade or so made their friends in private business incredibly rich. Just think of the millions of pounds spent on covid masks that were either not delivered at all or were of such poor quality that they wouldn’t offer any protection. No one went to jail for that, but plenty of MP’s got paid I’m willing to bet.
- Comment on Dogs need love too 2 days ago:
Am I the only one who takes some issue with tokers being portrayed as divorced from reality? You’re a lot more likely to do those kinds of things under the influence of alcohol than thc.
- Comment on Rockstar Games Working Closely With Remedy Entertainment on Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake 4 days ago:
I just hope the price point is reasonable. I think 30 for the original RDR remake is steep.
- Comment on Call of Cthulhu 4 days ago:
This is more like e-mail from Cthulhu. Hmm, or e-snail…
- Comment on Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0 1 week ago:
Needlessly intrusive. Can obviously be circumvented by cheaters anyway, so quite possibly superfluous. Apart from that it protects against the kinds of attacks that typically require physical access to the computer. If you have physical access you have full access anyway. Etc.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0 1 week ago:
I love the Battlefield series but I’m not turning on Secure Boot for them. If it remains a hard requirement, I’ll simply be passing altogether.

They do like them some shell scritches.
- Comment on JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip 1 week ago:
Holy shit, that’s Caligula levels of conceit. Next he’ll make his dog a fucking senator.
- Comment on Southern USA core. 1 week ago:
You’re talking about people for whom “blood relative” and “potential mate” are a perfect circle in Venn diagrams.
- Comment on it's called speedrunning, my dudes 1 week ago:
“Speedrunning the frog” should totally be in daily vernacular. I’ll do my part!
- Comment on Speculation 1 week ago:
The first fungi were towering giant “trees” of which we’ve found remains. And before they arrived, wood didn’t degrade.

Dothraki, to communicate with all the Khaleesis.
- Comment on paid subscription 1 week ago:
Man, unlocking depression has been the worst DLC experience of my life so far.
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 2 weeks ago:
I remember seeing the actual milky way when I looked up back in the 80’s and 90’s. Now we’re lucky to see the brightest stars and planets at all. My son has never seen it. This is rural W-EUR btw.
- Comment on robot slurs 2 weeks ago:
Was looking for HK47 in the comments. Bravo.
- Comment on bird based storage 2 weeks ago:
Coupled with IP-over-avian-carrier, this would potentially make for an interesting concept.
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 3 weeks ago:
Steam and Itch are both victims in this matter, their hands are tied. If the payment processors simply refuse to process any payments unless they comply, there’s no point in trying to put pressure on them. I’m pretty sure they were happy to take people’s money for these games and still would be, if they could so while saving face.
- Comment on I feel like it was on purpose 3 weeks ago:
Welcome to your fourth or fifth once-in-a-lifetime crisis!
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 3 weeks ago:
Steam is gonna look mighty empty if every game with violence is removed tho.
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 3 weeks ago:
My line is these payment processors being judge, jury and executioner about what material they deem valid. So I am fundamentally opposed.
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 3 weeks ago:
There are a few smaller EU payment processors. I’d love to see them move into the space Visa/Mc leave behind here but I’m not sure they are “big” enough for it.
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 3 weeks ago:
First they came for the incest/rape games, which most people somewhat agree with (although the principle is still wrong) Next up is all nsfw games. After that, it’ll be mainstream and indie games altogether. This never stops with just one “victory” for these groups.
- Comment on Badgers: 1 Star 3 weeks ago:
Are we talking European or American badgers? Those things couldn’t be more different.
- Comment on MILLIPEDE FACTS 3 weeks ago:
Millipedes are awesome! Centipedes less so.

Tay was legendary. So many lulz.
- Comment on Southern Water nearly doubles CEO pay to £1.4m despite bonus ban 4 weeks ago:
I think you mean BECAUSE of bonus ban.
- Comment on Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier says criminal “geoengineering and weather modification activities" could have played a role in recent Texas floods 4 weeks ago:
They know what they’re doing. Their constituents may be stupid enough to believe it, but all those people at the top are completely aware of the grift they’re running.

Bravo. Instant classic.

We’ve been crashing this shit since 2012 and the results have been… interesting so far.
