I mean you can't stay out of their "exact" blind spot, but vehicles aren't that different. The blind spot is typically in the range of behind the driver's side door to a few feet behind the rear bumper.

it's also in that exact situation that you'll be surprised to see that some fucker has been cruising in your blind spot for a long time.

An additional helpful tip is to get out of people's blind spots. Don't be the one driving in another person's blind spot for an extended amount of time because they are a lot more likely to turn into you.

I think one of the computers in my basement is an ASRock board, and it's the flimsiest board I've ever had. Like the USB ports are really flexible.

Interesting; I've associated them with just making cheap boards. Is that changing?

Hmm... There's been a lot of quality of life patches (key binds, esc to close interfaces, clicking outside of interfaces closes them, smarter quantities on the withdraw screen, the option to have left click do a "default action" rather than opening the window, middle click drag, etc). He was pushing out changes every day for like two weeks, then weekly patches.

I haven't really seen anything I'd call a bug (it's actually one of the most stable games I've ever played).

It's definitely a true early access game (and they've said as much; they're open to a lot of potential changes and have been quite receptive to feedback with strong consensus), so I'd definitely check back from time to time if you like it in concept. They're talking about adding action queuing and reworking the combat to feel "better" in the near term. Player trading and PvP duels should come soon after as well along with a bunch of other stuff.

The game is designed to be friendly to touch screens and they do plan to have a mobile client eventually (similar to RuneScape). However, they have said they will not add any micro transactions or other predatory stuff ... and I believe them; the Gowers have been quite principled about that over the years.

Yeah? What wasn't clicking for you? I love it

The specs in the comic are just crazy. The top of the line option has expanded a lot too. In the past Nvidia wouldn't have bothered making a 4090 because the common belief was nobody would pay that much for a GPU... But seemingly enough people are willing to do it that it's worth doing now.

AMD also revived CPUs in desktop PCs from extreme stagnation and raised the bar for the high end on that side as well by a lot.

So it's a mix of inflation and the ceiling just being raised as to what the average consumer is offered.

Graphical realism is an easier metric than good writing or fun.

All MBAs, in all industries, need to be done away with.

As much as that makes a great story... The groundwork for lemmy goes back years. It's true that lots of issues were addressed and client apps were ported after Reddit started going down hill, but a ton of work was done beforehand to make that all possible.

It's not a broad generalization at all. It's a widespread pattern of hypocritical and contradictory conservative outrage, statements, and laws.

• "I should be able to teach kids about the Bible in school, but you can't teach them about Yoga"
• "we can't have vulgar language, oh unless it's from our religious book"
• "I can't make a cake for you because you're gay and that's against my religion. What do you mean you won't make a Christian cake? That's religious discrimination!"
• "Happy holidays!??! Happy holidays??! You monster, how dare you wage war on Christmas! We have religious liberty in this country! What do you mean that protects other religions? There's only one God and one religion!"
• "It's totally fine that the polling places in large democratic areas have hours long waits so long as my polling places are quick and easy"
• "it's totally fine that a county with 10,000 people has the same number of ballot drop boxes as a country with 3,000,000 people"
• "marriage is between a man and woman ... and may include 17 divorces; they gays can't have it"
• "we need to teach kids (i.e., indoctrinate them in the ways of) Jesus not this woke (black history, trans, etc)"
• "let's let white kids off with a slap on the wrist while we throw a black kid in jail for smoking a plant"
• "I can't believe a president could have such a scandal in the white house as to have had an affair with an assistant! We need to impeach! No, I don't think extorting an ally for information about an opponent is worthy of an impeachment! Trying to overthrow a legitimate presidental victor with a procedural trick? Nah that's not worth an impeachment either! Oh but hey, this Biden guy's son who lost one of his parents and a sibling in a car crash, that lost his brother to cancer, that has a drug problem, called his dad while he was in business meetings to show off... so you know his dad definitely was up to something! We've got to impeach him over that! What do you mean that was before he was even president and that's completely unprecedented?"
• "We should totally lock her up for those emails! What do you mean the guy screaming that's son and law did the exact same thing?"
• "We're sorry we can't appoint a supreme court justice just before the election! Psych! We totally can if it's nominated by OUR president!"
• "We need law and order in this country! What do you mean Trump broke the law? Nah, I'm not hearing it; this is clearly a partisan witch hunt and the majority conservative staff of the FBI is out to get conservatives! Oh but we'll DEFINITELY weaponize the federal government and go after our political rivals full steam if we get the presidency in 2024"
• "I believe abortion is amoral, that's why I hid the fact that my ex/current lovers have had one"
• "I believe homosexuality is amoral, that's why I am one in the closet"
• "we're going to be the party of health care, but don't watch as we strip you of your federal protections for your health care"
• "we're the party of the little man, but don't watch as we cut taxes for the rich (and you but make sure that expires under the next term (probably while the Democrats are in power)"
• "the national debt is an outage! Oh let's spend as much as Obama did in half the time! Oh Biden is in power again, spending is out of control!"
• "the problem isn't guns it's mental health, but we're not going to do anything about that either! Must be because the kids aren't in church, the gays, video games, or hey look over there, a squirrel!"
• "climate change? Nah. It's not real. Okay maybe it is, but it doesn't matter because look at China! Oh we could make a dent and get the ball rolling? Well, it's too late anyways, we should've been building nuclear plants! What do you mean I just made that up? Clearly I've been trying to solve this via nuclear the whole time, and it's not another dog whistle! Oh and btw all of my top presidential candidates say they don't believe in man made climate change! But yeah, totally serious about this issue!!"

... and that's just off the top of my head. If you're a conservative, wake up, your party is a mess.
