while the biggest platforms (Facebook, Twitter) are so big that good moderation is impossible. ( Better moderation is possible, but I don't think good moderation is.) On Youtube, every time Google runs an official live stream the chat is disabled. I think that's a sufficient statement on the (curre...

My engine just turns itself off when I'm doing stop-and-go in heavy traffic, thanks to being hybrid.

Mohawk & Headphone Jack, a platformer for the SNES that was so complex that the developer had to invent a new compression algorithm to make it fit on a SNES cart and function smoothly.

It's also slightly insane.

They make a lot of sense in electric cars, yeah, given the output profile of electric motors. Funny enough, this reminds me of a recent high-powered electric sports motorbike which was sold with a six-speed manual "transmission" (the effect was emulated) even though it was completely and ...

I mean, I take it back, if it turns out you can't launch nukes at all unless everyone on the server (individual server pops will be relatively small to preserve the "sparse" feeling of Fallout) agrees to turn on PVP, or they make it even simpler and there will be both PVP and non-PVP serv...

My Subaru and my mother's both have CVTs. It's pretty reasonable and I never learned stick shift anyways.

If anyone's interested, I have a link to where someone went through the shows and cut out the first playing of each original and each cover, in case anyone wants an approximation of probably the longest single-tour live show album ever made.

Hey now! Buffalo lost its previous title of "Murder Capital of New York".

Most crucially, in terms of fatalities-per-mile-driven, Tesla was farthest along (it's not directly stated in the article, but IIRC, Google technically has more miles, but is even now still heavily relying on data collected from cars run purely on fully or partially closed roads or routes under opt...

They also don't actually cover history.

Also important to remember that Trump isn't a conservative president. He ran as a republican, but if he either understands the situation at all, or doesn't understand the situation at all but at least doesn't just let someone else make the choice, we're probably going to be looking at a justice tha...

I would post a picture of a wedding cake decorated with a penis here, but I occasionally check this place at work and don't want to be a hypocrite.

Part of suing the Trump Foundation is reporting their misconduct to the IRS, opening Trump up to tax evasion charges.

Something from Black Panther, because it's technically Disney and Marvel movies are so CGI-filled it's essentially animated.

Justin Trudeau trolls Trump with framed photo of his grandfather's Canadian brothel

I keep hearing things about Trudeau not necessarily being that great of a person/leader, but this is hilarious.

As the consequences of me going HAM with my new good insurance finally catches up to me, I get to learn about "Balance Billing". That's where you ask your insurance what doctor to go to, that doctor asks the insurance what work they can do, the insurance company pays for the work, then th...
