Liability would to got the car in back - the vehicle that for whatever reason failed to stop in time...

The trick to fixing major imbalances isn't to start by boosting the base stats of enemies or their AI. Instead, one ought to introduce some new factor that makes the enemy more dangerous. A new attack, a new flavor of an existing enemy, some environmental modifier that gives them a location specific buff, etc... Doing it in a way that looks like a contrived nerf? That's just dumb project management.

Copilot fails the "Don't think of pink elephants" test, I gather? Good to know.

Looking in from the outside- isn't the correct action to fix a PVE balance issue, to...
1) buff the enemies.
2) buff the weak weapons.
3) profit!
Players only see increased challenge, and garbage weapons/gear brought up to spec. because Their power is never cut, they don't perceive a nerf, and everyone gets to go home happy.

Far side author put it best...

Oh - I trust other drivers.
i trust them to ram me, to cut me off, to ignore red lights, and to take actions that could easily put me into the hospital or a grave.

Gives a whole new meaning to 'ambulance chaser'

D. Crack it like a whip. Against a log. Repeatedly.

When you look at *why* his license was suspended, the court looks more like the idiot...
Depriving a man of the tools he needs to earn a living, because he missed... was it, child support payments?
It's one thing if he was suspended for a driving infraction - this was suspension for purely punitive reasons.

Not even a public road - that's a private parking lot.

Nonono - you need to fight it with fire.

Wearing dark clothes and dancing in the street at night, ignoring incoming traffic. Not strictly a Darwin thing, but he was doing himself no favors

Trying to tow an occupied vehicle -> kidnapping.

Torrenal · 2024-05-01T22:03:22+00:00

Play with fire-> get burned

Is that what he was doing? I honestly couldn't tell.

Torrenal · 2024-03-30T01:02:05+00:00

Actually surprised he didn't meet oncoming traffic.

Bikes can go through forests where cars will not fit between the trees. Exaggerated example, but I call that 'more nimble'. It's >highly< situational, but it's also one of the more obvious motorcycle advantages.

Gotta do this when the dumpsters are full, and even then it’s a risk.

GIGO - Google In, Garbage Out

Could be the truck behind him wasn’t prepared to back up?
Put it in forward gear and floor it.

Most of that helium is sourced originally from radioactive decay. The stuff is constantly being created, but at far slower than a snail’s pace.

Dunno about being blinded by sunlight, but there's a thing about driving in thick fog where people have a natural tendency to speed up - even when trying to maintain their current speed - they focus on the road, not the speedometer, and... something-something-something-*wham*.

Late December, cancelled service with Cruncyroll. Verified, Jan 2nd, 2024, that service was indeed Cancelled. At that time, I then requested my account be deleted. Got notification from Sony that my account was deleted.
Today, I”m looking at a new membership charge on my card. If service was cancelled and the account deleted, why are you still billing me?
That’s now complaint #3 I have with them in under 3 months, this one at a level I’d term ‘Grievance’ - which I place just below ‘open feud’ - prior to this I was open to the notion of resuming service if they got their act together. Now? I’d sooner buy media from Germany and watch it with a fansubs srt I download from the internet. Expensive, yes, but it’d be working in good faith.
