syscall girl posted:delta force got the engine from comanche though delta force was so sick. so loving sick. there was a koth map with a guard tower as the hill and you could prone on the top of the tower and basically not get shot easily, and it was hard to nade. then, you could knife ppl (1 shot kill) as they came up the ramp. also, that same map had a little water moat and you could shark ppl with the knife as most guns didnt work under water. amazing. epic. it had the good half-life style physics and animations that were abrupt and really funny. wow. just thinking about delta force gives me the good nostalgia feels. claymore in the enemy respawn. epic. just epic

Luigi Thirty posted:"uber is good because cabs in New York don't pick up black people and they do" -my dad A mass e-mail sent to new Uber drivers in New York City late last fall encouraged those drivers to "position" themselves in the "busiest areas of the city"—Manhattan below the north end of Central Park, plus a swath of Brooklyn from Greenpoint south to Park Slope—if they hoped to receive a "guaranteed" $5,000 for their first full month of driving. The e-mail states: "If you are found avoiding busy areas, you will not be eligible for the guarantee."

nytimes posted:in April, according to city data requisitioned from the company, of the roughly 76,000 New York City pickups Uber made on the average day, about 63,000 were in central Manhattan, from the city’s airports and in the most affluent precincts of Brooklyn. Fewer than 1,200 were made in the Bronx; only 37 were on Staten Island.
