21·4 hours agoI believe there are fundamentally only 2 types of people:
-
People who were slapped too much as children.
-
People who were not slapped enough.
I came up with it so clearly I was not slapped enough.

Some require a hardware dongle:

Picked up the 2 newest albums by Tinsley Ellis, turns out, these acoustic records are COMPLETELY different from everything he did before, notably playing electric but also with a full band.

Yup, if you mix up the adjective order, people will look at you like you’re an alien.

Self posts are not allowed and anything involving Diana is WELL outside the “last 30 days” requirement here.
If you’re going to include pack ins like Wii Sports then Windows Solitaire and Minesweeper smoke everything…

I think your math is confusing people here:
“Dieselgate cars emitted 40x the legal amount.”
40x the legal amount FOR DIESEL.
“roughly that means a dieselgate vehicle emitted 400x the NO2 of a gasoline car.”
You’re arguing that the legal amount for diesel is 10x that of a gasoline car, and by exceeding that 40x, they are more or less 400x a single gasoline car.
Now I don’t know if any of that is actually TRUE or not, I’m seeing a lot of the weaselly “up to 40x”, not that it was ACTUALLY 40X. It might have been 25x on average, we don’t really know. Still awful.
But the piece you’re missing is that dieselgate didn’t impact ALL diesel vehicles, it was specific to Volkswagen group. So only VW and Audi, and even then, only the TDI models.
I had job duties, but I couldn’t do anything without running it through this narcissistic and nepotistic executive structure.
The top brass were all related and crazy.

Weirdly, it was an online betting company… 🤷
The devolution of civility in this thread is exactly the reason we don’t allow blog posts and why there’s a rule stating “opinion” pieces may be removed.
Series X is the current high end Xbox, don’t expect mods anytime soon.
MAYBE if it were the Xbox One X…
Maybe not a good look to go “AI! AI! AI!” when the actual creatives who use the product get attacked for using AI:
