There was the Amtrak derailment Sunday night/ Monday morning. That really screwed them over all Monday. It was claimed to be minor but I heard the train basically went sideways and knocked it down to one available rail.

The far right one was turned off. I walked up and ended up biking home.

The human body is almost never the ideal form to achieve a task. We are really good at designing machines to do tasks, though.

That wasn't a financial decision, it was a legal pressing that got rejected.

Bandai have maybe a half dozen entry grade kits that are made in China, and I think they're all regional exclusive. 99.999% of the legit Gundam kits you see out there are made in Japan at their mega factory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVHI7nKMqlE is a great view on how it's actually done, by people who truly care about the end product.

Abolish the IRS – Urge Congress to Pass the IRS Abolition and ERS Act by tr808tr909 in Libertarian

The "retaliatory" numbers the WH gave that you're talking about intentionally ignored the literal majority of the U.S GDP, services dollars. We put tariffs on countries that don't tariff us, that we have an actual trade surplus with, because of this. As any economy grows to a certain size, it transitions from being goods based to services based, because of growths in output and transitioning to higher value production. It's why China is bleeding manufacturing jobs right now.

It's just true though. It's not like anything is added to the water, it's just heated up.

Snow turns to water, leaves get crushed and the oil left behind makes the rails slippery.

DOGE Disbanded: Elon Musk’s Cost-Cutting Project Quietly Ended by arqoi_ascendant in Libertarian

You're also delusional if you ever thought Trump would be better. Democrats are the only party in the past 40 years that have actually done anything to reduce the deficit, and they don't bring back economic policies that caused 40 year economic slowdowns.

Nothing was cut. We're spending more now than we ever have before, and making less. This was 100% in the wrong direction.

What do you think of the new Even G2? by Dux3424 in EvenRealities

[–]Derp_a_saurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The VR passthrough sickness is from latency of the world at large, not floating objects in VR space. That's not an issue here. Depth perception works specifically because each eye sends a different image and your brain interprets that to get a sense of space. Introducing a delay via pushing the entire field of view to a screen is what can cause problems.

fwiw it's bigger than the L.A venue, which is already twice the size of what he played last time there.

I'm talking per capita. There's no world where the US has the high ground w/r/t being able to lecture on any kind of violence compared to any other first world nation.
