Citizen Tayne posted:lol when did cars stop being "dropped" and start being "stanced" "dropped" is usually just plain ol' lowering, often to improve handling by lowering the car's center of gravity. "stance" includes lowering the car, ideally by an impractical amount, uselessly large amounts of negative camber, uselessly thin tires, overly large amounts of stickers on the windows and rest of the car, and so on. dropped:  stanced:

Literally the only funny thing that came out of Norway was comedians making fun of how different and goofy other Norwegians sound to each other from valley to valley, and a TV show called Dag, which is about a marriage counselor who encourages couples to divorce and live alone Iirc if you google the most popular and funny Norwegian movie it's a clip of that famous Danish actor who was in one of the recent bond movies shooting a cow in the head because it wouldn't stop mooing. Edit: okay this was kinda funny too http://youtu.be/V3WjoiAfOGw FAT32 SHAMER fucked around with this message at 07:37 on Jul 5, 2015 |

jack Halprin, the Google guy who bought a house in the mission and tried to illegally evict all the tenants (mostly teachers) has died of cancer now his friends at Google are saying he was trying to "secretly" donate the house to Larkin Youth Services, probably in some attempt to make his lasting legacy be something other than "douchebag tries to illegally evict a bunch of teachers and an old woman"

Subjunctive posted:I think that it is a reasonable thing for a service to say that they want people to use their real names. It is not an uncommon thing in the world, and most such cases have a much more stringent definition. By real name I mean the name you use when introducing yourself to someone when you meet them, for example. As Zuck said, you should be able to do that on Facebook. no, it's not, this is stupid and garbage and bullshit. if you want someone looking you up on a goddamn website, you can give them your name on that website yourself. zuck's ideal where every single person on the planet can find your online biography (happily populated with content by your friends, even if you don't do it yourself) just by punching your name into the internet is poo poo trash that nobody but advertisers, stalkers, creeps, and social failures wants. i know, i know, it's a critical part of facebook's value proposition for freaks, perverts, and future murderers to be able to look up and cyberstalk that hot cheerleader they creeped on in tenth grade or that barista whose last name they managed to overhear, but that just benefits white males at the cost of basically everybody else Stringent posted:i would imagine that real name is pretty useless compared to age/sex/race/location/connections and all that demographic goodness the point of the real name policy is to get accurate connections by forcing you to use your real name so literally anyone who has ever met you in real life can look you up on fb. even if they don't friend you or you reject their friend request, you better believe the system logs that poo poo, secretly makes associations, tries to infer unlisted interests based on the people looking you up, and so on. the true genius of facebook is that it bypasses your attempts to curate your own online identity by using your friends and acquaintances to fill in or guess at the information you didn't provide or lied about. for that to be effective, it's essential that everyone uses their real life names and that fb fosters a culture of looking up everybody you meet

FMguru posted:i remember reading an article about tesla years ago where their engineers said that getting rid of giant engine + drive train (oh, and the fuel tank) let them rethink everything about a car's design. the front and rear are just all storage space and crumple zones (as you point out), all the weight (battery packs) is on the floor so it has a really low center of gravity and consequently better handling, and so on. plus they require almost zero maintenance (which is the real reason dealers hate them). dealers hate them because they refuse to franchise zero maintenance doesn't mean zero sales, zero warranty repair, or zero bodywork, or zero detailing. just none of those services will be provided by penske or autonation

H.P. Hovercraft posted:i'm the ignorance of physics for head on collision like that guy's it matters. crumple zones and safety systems are all about spreading the acceleration of an impact out over a few more microseconds instead of it arriving in one massive neck breaking burst but in a wreck between a heavier vehicle and a lighter vehicle the lighter vehicle's safety systems have to deal with much more acceleration because the momentum of the vehicles is conserved in the resulting carblob of mangled steel and bodies. smacking into something that doesn't move like a bridge support or trying to avoid the wreck in the first place is when the extra mass is a major liability.

Orkut? they could've been Facebook, with different timing.
