9.0, would have been a 9.5 if Shadow had a gun

Just think of all the great things you're going to learn about emergency boot recovery!

These sound right to me, especially Dying Earth - a podcast I listen to covered Gene Wolf's Book of the New Sun trilogy and they described it as such. Wikipedia calls it Science Fantasy. Great books by the way

Not an idiom, but a slogan for a sugary children's cereal Trix.

I saw the wall of text, skipped to the punchline, and rolled my eyes glad I saved myself a couple minutes

Yeah, but does their government convert 1.5 trillion dollars a year in public monies and national debt into defense industry and health insurance industry profits, providing incredible value for shareholders?!

Checkmate, communists

That average has to have some really grotesque edge cases. What really SHOULD happen for a variety of reasons is city centers shouldn't be a place you commute to but that you also live in and all the changes that come with that, including having far less or no cars at all. Suburbia and cities designed for cars are the problems, self driving cars are a venture capital magnet looking for a problem to fix.

Reading more of these comments it's clear we need to invest heavily in biking and transit infrastructure so taking away some idiots drivers license doesn't damn them to poverty

An issue I see locally is they can't just paint a circle on the road with a couple signs. It always has to be a million dollar project widening out the curbs, building up a huge curb in the middle, putting a big goddamn planter in the middle, then sprinkle signs liberally until it's unreadable.

Super Metroid, probably started it at least forty times and finished it a dozen or more. Link to the Past was one I had started several times but never beat until I met my now wife, who had played it through often. Now it's one of my go to games. I've played through Doom 1+2 quite a few time and Quake occasionally SOMA since it came out has been my go to Halloween game.

Dirt Rally and Dirt Rally 2.0 are much more recent but unparalleled rally racing games.
