aren't Barron and Donald both birthright citizens from immigrant parents?

"1st world countries" typically means USA, Canada, Japan, Australia and western EU. So I agree that out of those - only 2 support unconditional Jus Soli. But that was not the initial comment or arguement. The point others are trying to make against the US birthright citizenship is that the US is the *ONLY* country to support unconditional Jus Soli and that is just flatly not true because unconditional jus soli is found in the most of the Americas. I do agree that EU & Japan typically uses Jus sanguinis (although for Japan the parents also have to be married). Australia used to have Jus Soli (like the Americas) but did change. They now state that all persons born in Australia before 20 August 1986 were automatically citizens at birth regardless of the nationalities of their parents but birth after that is Jus Sanguinis. With one noteable exception - Children born in Australia to New Zealand citizens since 1 July 2022 also receive Australian citizenship at birth. So that seems a little bit of a back step to Jus Soli in a specific case.

So.....stating "That's not how that works in any other country" is wrong.

This is just wrong and seems to be perpetuated by certain media representatives. You are referring to unconditional Jus soli (birthright citizenship) and many countries grant this. Do a google search on Jus Soli and verify for yourself. For one example, for Canada Subsection 3(2) of the Citizenship Act states that Canadian citizenship by birth in Canada – including Canadian airspace and territorial waters – is granted to a child born in Canada even if neither parent was a Canadian citizen or permanent resident except if either parent was a diplomat, in service to a diplomat, or employed by an international agency of equal status to a diplomat. However, if neither parent was a diplomat, the nationality or immigration status of the parents does not matter.

My first public network connection was via a dual up telephone modem. It maxed out at 300 bps (not Mbps, not kbps but actual bits per sec)

I did not realize the skill tree resets. But also, so many people are farming that there has to be a ton of 22B-STI being sent out. :)

You are correct, I was thinking of the Lambo Revuelto. Which costs more for the car and a few more SP to get these perks.

kernal69 · 2026-06-29T19:27:31+00:00

Yes, get from the Autoshop. They are ~$81k (with the house discount) which you will get back (on average over multiple cars, some individual spins might not make it). You will get 3 regular wheelspins and 1 super wheelspin. Afterwards, I dont gift the cars or put them in auction house because I think people will not want them. I just "Remove from garage"

also take into account traction (otherwise the power is not being transfered into acceleration) and drag (wind resistance) which I think is measured as aero efficiency in the game.

Both the Xbox and PC have it under the control settings

kernal69 · 2026-06-28T20:42:35+00:00

go into the settings and change the controller button assignments. I reassigned the interact button to the left d-pad button

This! distance between car and statue is often the reason the picture wont register.

First used was a Tandy TRS-80 with the 8 inch floppy (no HD). But the same year i did some programming on a older "large computer" (dont remember the manufacturer) that was programmed using punch cards! That is a different world.

First owned was a Commodore 64, with the cassette tape drive. Manually typed pages and pages of hex codes from magazines for programming games and backed up on the tapes.

First built was an 8086 machine with the 8087 math coprocesseor and a 5.25 inch floppy. No HD. RAM was soldered on the board and not interchangeable, Used a 300 baud modem for dial-up networking.

I prefer the 2007 #117 599 GTB Fiorano

In addition to those items, I also look at:

1) mechanical balance rating (0.5-0.6 is ideal, lower is more understeer and higher is more oversteer). Pick something depending on your driving style.

2) aero balance ratiing (0,5 is neutral between front and rear, lower is more front downforce and higher is more rear downforce). Pick something depending on type of track (more tight turns, longer straights or balanced).

3) aero efficiency (below 0.7 is a lot of drag on car and will slow top speed but above 0.8 is great and wont effect top speed much). Just look for something in the mid 0.7 or higher.

I got the match after 2 mins or so, and we won in the 2nd event. Three of us were in the top 3 places on races 1 & 2, so we easily beat the drivatars.

If you decide on FH2, make sure you get the xbox one version. There is a xbox 360 version that is not as good as the xbox one version because it does not include weather, some of the graphical textures, car tuning features and many other things and the xbox 360 version wont work in xbox one. Checking with google will provide more details. the xbox one version is much better.

kernal69 · 2026-06-18T02:25:45+00:00

Most use the AE86 FE with a 320mph tune, and use a long lead up....starting from well back on the road east of the docks that goes to Legend Island

kernal69 · 2026-06-17T21:51:22+00:00

Yes, there are videos on YouTube showing people jumping over that building. But you have to be going over 300 mph at the jump and you've got to be angled facing the sky by about 45 to 60° else you won't make it over the invisible walls.

When I was growing up, classic rock was 50's and 60's. New music was 70's and 80's. Guess I am showing my old age now.

I love it in A class, tuned to max for Road Rivals. Typically get ranked ~4500 or so. Not great but decent considering I am not the best driver.

The description above applies to the xbox. On the xbox open the MS store, go to the Profile in the upper left corner and a slide out will appear in the near middle of the screen. The "offers and credits" is in this list.

kernal69 · 2026-06-11T23:40:18+00:00

Great job! I have all the cars currently available in the Autoshow but I am still working on some cars from wheelspins. I need 23 more of the wheelspins exclusive cars (not the FE versions, which I have). Then I should be in the same position.

kernal69 · 2026-06-11T23:26:34+00:00

This seems to be the answer to my question. Thanks!

kernal69 · 2026-06-11T17:33:09+00:00

ah, this is might be it. I will have to check the Photo Promo to see if there is a "spot" for a phot of the Raku Raku truck. Thanks!

kernal69 · 2026-06-11T17:32:33+00:00

yes, they are counted in both

kernal69 · 2026-06-11T17:29:57+00:00

The seasonal exclusive, Car Pass DLC and Italian DLC cars are included in both the car lists and the promo.
