  • Pancakes if I remember correctly... been about 30 years now.

  • I looked it up... it's 70kph, not mph. Comes out to be about 45mph.

  • I was going to say, when I was a kid, growing up in the 70s, I had a dirt bike with a spedometer and I regularly pushed that thing to 25mph just with the pedals.

    My first thought was "faster than 20? No big deal..."

    But then I hit this:

    "in fact, the Talaria can hit 70 miles per hour. His mother gave him her blessing, she said, and even helped him clip a wire that removes the speed “governor” that ordinarily limits the vehicle to 20 miles per hour."

    Having an eBike that can go that fast with relatively no modification at all does not seem wise to me, and it's irresponsible of the parent to assist in that.

    1 year after graduation, one of my high school friends got into an argument with his girlfriend, was riding his motorcycle too fast without a helmet, and crashed straight into the back of a garbage truck, killing him instantly.

    A bike helmet wouldn't have helped, maybe a DOT approved motorcycle helmet would have.

    Edit I looked up the mod, it brings the bike to 70Kph, not mph. So about 45. Still faster than I'd want my kid going.

  • Not currently, no. They burned enough dev cycles trying to get split screen co-op on the S that now BOTH the S and X versions are delayed, which I guess is better than "not happening at all."

    The S has every right to exist, but as soon as it starts interfering with Series X development (which has been for a while now), it's time for it to go.

    Microsoft needs to cut it loose like the boat anchor it is and just release a discless Series X and call it good.

  • One of the guys from Florida who wasn't on stage for the Republican debate.

  • 5 banks being:

    OZK - Bank OZK
    SYF - Synchrony Financial
    VLY - Valley National Bancorp
    EWBC - East West Bancorp
    ALLY - Ally Banking

    Risk being certificate of deposit roll overs. > 20% of deposits are tied up in CDs that are going to roll over by the end of the year.

    Starts at the 6 minute, 20 second mark, right after the ad break, naturally.

  • It shouldn't be on the ISPs, it should be on the SERVICES that USE the ISPs.

    I'll give you a perfect example, the Uvalde shooter.

    He had been using a French social media platform called Yubo where he posted animal abuse videos and threatened to rape and murder other users.

    https://abcnews.go.com/US/buffalo-uvalde-suspected-shooters-allegedly-abused-animals/story?id=84970582

    He was reported to Yubo, REPEATEDLY, and Yubo did nothing.

    Maybe we need to make social media companies mandatory reporters in cases like this? Rather than just ban a user wholesale, increase monitoring of them and report the account to local authorities?

  • Years ago I accidentally confused baking soda and baking powder... Not a good look.

  • It's also possible that Sidney Powell will also be on/around the same date as the Chesebro trial, she has also invoked the speedy trial clause.

  • The main example cited in the article comes from recruiting Minthara instead of killing her. It looks like Act 3 didn't really take that option into account.

    Other problems include questlines that can't be completed.
