Vehicle safety regulations in place prevent this.

It's why domestic as well as Japanese cars have gotten so oversized and compared to 20 years ago.

It's also why every car on the road looks alike. Automotive design is very restricted by regulation. They start with what they are "allowed" to make and have to work within the standards.

Shooter guy was ... fairly skilled

Lol, not really. Hitting a bullseye on an 8 inch target is stupid easy at that distance with a rifle.

Either his sight was not properly set, or he was not very good with it. Or maybe both.

Who knows. Glad he sucked. It's just a shame his missed shots hit people.

I don't like the extrapolation that the person that was killed wasn't an innocent victim because they were at a Trump rally.

I'm sorry to hear about your diabetes.

Well you don't understand what "net" means.

It doesn't mean literally zero. It means colunm A and column B average out to zero.

To acheive a real net zero, they have to save energy somewhere else that takes that column past 100% (Such as if their solar panels produce more energy than they use during certain times.)

They probably just make some shit up to say their are saving extra somewhere they aren't (so to that point, yes...credits are bullshit.)

The GameCube absolutely spanked the Dreamcast and PS2 in terms of performance

But the PS2 demolished the GameCube in sales. Thet outsold them about 8 to 1. So that just makes it another example of the high end hardware NOT helping their sales like the comment you replied to was saying.

Good luck guessing which body part I use!

MapQuest is still a thing. Bing maps... exists. Wave, even though owned by Google, hasn't been fucked yet.

Magic Earth is another open source alternative besides OSM.

It's not.

David Talbot isn't introduced until Queen of the Damned

Also, The Vampire Lestat starts out in France in the 1700s.

In the winter of my twenty-first year, I went out alone on horseback to kill a pack of wolves.

This was on my father's land in the Auvergne in France, and these were the last decades before the French Revolution.

Oh dang I think you're right. I thought it was the start of QotD.
