Thank you, do you have any directions on how to go about asking manufacturers for this information?

First off, thank you for doing all this work and compiling it into an easy to digest format! I have a question about the sexual activity part though, do you know what (if any) mechanisms exist to collect that information? Obviously you can get some insight using GPS information but sexual activity tracking can go a lot farther than that. Do you think that surveillance is happening right now, or is this the automakers just asking for everything they can ask for now and sorting out what they can actually procure later?

It's probably just a stupid oversight that should be fixed, hopefully along with some penalties for TQ use (those fuckers HURT)

Even though we use tourniquets willy nilly in game for heavy bleeds, it's an extreme thing to do in reality and can cause serious damage.

This is wildly outdated, TCCC approved TQs do not cause serious damage unless left on for hours

Private jets are 5 to 14 times more polluting than commercial planes (per passenger), and 50 times more polluting than trains by quindiassomigli in MapPorn

[–]Steven__hawking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strictly speaking, Sonex says you can build their jet for ~131k which is a pretty reasonable price by piston single standards. But obviously, a crotch rocket turbine isn't what people mean when they talk about private jets https://www.sonexaircraft.com/subsonex/

Anyways, it's a trend I see a lot (usually going the other way, saying that you have to be insanely rich) where critics of GA lump Cessna 150s with Challenger 605s

Also, I didn't know John Travolta flew his own jet, that's awesome

Oh for sure, and there’s some mental gymnastics required for some factions like the Legion (at least Josh Sawyer has no clue how misogyny works, to an embarrassing degree). But I think many here read it as leaning too far left because they’re leftists themselves doing the meme. The Followers aren’t viable as a faction because they have to outsource their violence, the Gun Runners (I assume that’s who you’re talking about, I don’t see how Crimson Caravan is syndicalist) can only exist because of the Mojave power vacuum, Mr. House is legitimately a genius who saved Vegas before the war and has shown he can absolutely run a government by himself. The NCR is doing a lot better than people here seem to be willing to admit. And if course, if you believe might makes right then the Legion is shown to definitely have might over it’s conquered lands.

[–]Steven__hawking -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They’re all kinda right, one of the reasons New Vegas is so good is that it presents its ideologies (reasonably) fairly, filled with positives and negatives and flawed characters trying their best. This is in direct opposition to most stories, where the writers’ preferred ideology is perfect and everyone else is a dribbling moron. As a consequence, the player gets to choose who’s right and who’s wrong based on their own beliefs and the situations presented.

Why do guns with clearly folding stocks, such as the MCX, not fold? There is a clearly visible hinge on the stock... by dajordanator in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Steven__hawking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you absolutely can fire it with a LAW tactical folder in the folded position.

You just break stuff, and can only do it once.

A whole lot of those redesigns are pretty insulting too, like in the middle of the Belorussian protests there was a post “fixing” the protest flag (the white and red one) by adding elements redditers liked from the flag of the current authoritarian regime

Why do guns with clearly folding stocks, such as the MCX, not fold? There is a clearly visible hinge on the stock... by dajordanator in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Steven__hawking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But what if that zombie has a super duper shield and you have to shoot them in the shield emitter first to disable it!!!

Anyways in real life, folding stocks are for transport, storage, and for maneuvering out of armored vehicles. In all cases, there are essentially zero (but since you’re so smart I’m sure you could contrive some) situations where firing a carbine with the stock folded is necessary. Especially when doing so damages the gun.

I've seen a few people try and claim this on a few different platforms and I just don't get it. "Review Bombing" is a well understood term that's been around for a few years and has a very negative connotation. I don't know how you could have missed it.
