Right lane is for cruising.
Any lanes to the left are for overtaking, and you move back to the right after passing.
Of course it depends on how heavy the traffic is, but if you’re not willing to move faster than the cars on your right, CHANGE LANES.
People driving in the middle lane when there’s nobody on the left are a pet peeve of mine.

I’m so sorry that this is actually a concern that someone legitimately feels. It’s unbelievable to me that anyone could date someone they don’t like, for whatever reason…

Since we’re being extra pedantic, what I said was:
As long as the tanker weights less than the weight of all that water it displaced, it will float.
This is factually true, and you didn’t disprove it.
As for “boat wall sticking out of the water”, that’s just grasping at straws man. If that boat is fully waterproof, like a submarine, the definition holds up. Or if you consider that water entering the boat adds to the boat weight, then again it will hold true as it will weigh more than the water it displaces.

- Comment on Anon isn't fooled by planes 6 days ago:
Well… When you put one of those huge tankers in the water, it will move a LOT of water out of the way.
As long as the tanker weights less than the weight of all that water it displaced, it will float.
As you keep loading up the tanker with more cargo, it will go deeper into the water right? But this means that it is pushing more water out of the way (the water that used to be where the boat now is), which balances out the weight because that creates more buoyancy.
A rock, on the other hand, is heavier than the water that it displaces, so it sinks like a tanker whose front fell off.
- Comment on Former Dragon Age writer says Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Baldur's Gate 3 prove 'what's possible when a game is given time to cook' 1 week ago:
To be fair, I’ve read that Sandfall also outsourced a lot of work for Expedition 33, which is how they’ve kept the team small.
I see no issues with outsourcing if done right: not every small developer needs to have a motion capture crew, etc.
If there are companies out there that can provide that for you at a reasonable cost, then you just need to focus on the core gameplay and the artistic aspects of your game.
This way you don’t bloat your headcount with hundreds of people that you’ll have to sack after the project is done, seems like a win for everybody.

I don’t know that I can handle more immersion in the Portal universe, I kinda like being reminded that a 4th wall separates me from murderous unscrupulous AIs.
Hum.
In any case, it looks just gorgeous!

You underestimate how hot a bowl of porridge can be.
The Porrigean theory has drawn a lot of attention lately from top theoretical physicists, and it addresses this very phenomenon.
It advances the hypothesis that the Big Bang was in fact a Primordial Porridge Bowl in a 4 dimensional plane that was so unbelievably hot that it was immediately dropped on the floor, and the projections of this Primordial Porridge into a 3D plane are what we observe as “our universe”.

**FOX News Special Report: Alderaan Destroyed—Emperor Trump Responds to Rebel Threat ** In a decisive move aimed at quelling a growing rebellion, the Empire today confirmed the destruction of the planet Alderaan, a Core World long suspected of harboring anti-government extremists. The response, authorized under the leadership of Emperor Donald J. Trump, marks what Imperial officials are calling a “necessary and proportionate show of strength” in the face of escalating terrorist threats.
White House equivalent officials aboard the Galactic Capitol Starcruiser said Alderaan’s destruction via the Empire’s new defensive installation—the Death Star—was “not taken lightly.” Grand Moff Tarkin, speaking on behalf of Emperor Trump, called Alderaan “a hub of insurgent activity, fake news proliferation, and anti-Imperial propaganda.”
“Alderaan was warned. The Rebels were warned. And yet, they chose to test us,” Tarkin stated. “Thanks to Emperor Trump’s bold leadership, peace and order are being restored to the galaxy.”
**Conservative Reaction Praises Trump’s Resolve ** Imperial Senate Republicans, though now largely ceremonial under Trump’s streamlined executive rule, praised the move. “This shows the galaxy that lawlessness will not stand,” said former Senator Gorran Vale (R-Corellia). “Under Emperor Trump, we are no longer appeasing anarchists. We are protecting hard-working star citizens.”
FOX News political analyst Kayla Deen noted, “For years, Alderaan’s elites flaunted their liberal values, resisted Imperial policies, and even funded Rebel operations. Emperor Trump promised to bring law and order back to the galaxy, and today, he delivered.”
Democrats and Alien-Sympathizers Decry Action
Predictably, fringe left-wing groups and alien rights activists across the Outer Rim immediately condemned the action. The Rebellion, officially labeled a terrorist organization by the Empire, issued an unverified statement claiming Alderaan was a peaceful planet with no weapons. Experts at the Trump Imperial Policy Institute dismissed the claims as “Rebel disinformation.”
Former Senator Mon Mothma, now in hiding, accused the Empire of “committing genocide.” In response, White House Comms Officer Jerrek Dalton told FOX News, “She’s been on the wrong side of history for years. This is about security, not politics.”
**A Stronger, Safer Galaxy ** Imperial markets responded positively to the display of power, with starship stocks rising 4.3% in late Coruscant trading. Citizens across the Mid Rim reportedly welcomed the message of order. One citizen on Naboo, speaking anonymously, said, “It’s about time someone stood up to these entitled planets that think they’re above the law.”
While critics continue to push back, Emperor Trump remains unfazed. In a brief holonet transmission, he declared, “We are making the Empire great again. One rebel world at a time.”
Stay tuned to FOX Galactic News for continuing fair and balanced coverage of the Rebellion, Imperial security, and Emperor Trump’s efforts to restore greatness to the galaxy

Because that’s the normal way in which humans communicate.
But for Google more specifically, that sort of keyword prompts is how you searched stuff in the '00s… Nowadays the search prompt actually understands natural language, and even has features like “people also ask” that are related to this.
All in all, do whatever works for you, it’s just that asking questions isn’t bad.
