I use that oil that protects against viscosity and thermal breakdown, so I'm safe from hydroplaning.

When Atlanta had it's bad ice storm I was stuck walking 6 miles to rescue my kid from school and passed a crowd of cars all stuck at the bottom of a hill. Some old guy had just gotten one lady's car out of a ditch and was giving her very specific instructions on how to get up the hill. She then proceeded to go up half way, hit the brakes, and slide back into shoulder. He was so pissed he got into his bright yellow Toyota Echo, hit the gas, and rocketed up that hill without a moment's hesitation.

And that man could have been Albert Einstein. The moral to this story is find the lightest car you can and never touch your brakes.

Because of "Science, Motherfuckers!".

It would be very helpful if the society in large would accept or even understand that most of the scifi-poo poo presented in the 80's is actually viable provided that there would be funding for it to mature. But no, lower taxes and gut the science, research and education to the bare bones and beyond. Lets just hope that some venture capitalist or idle billionaire develops an unhealthy fixation instead.

Megacorps will imbue us with cybernetics when they start warring with each other, so just be patient.

December 30th - January 1st: Posts appear on Reddit and github claiming that Valve's anti-cheat services will ban any Linux users who have the string "catbot" in their Linux username. Gamers and Linux nerds outraged, etc.
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/2475
https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/7ng8ad/valve_vac_bans_users_on_linux_automatically_if/

January 2nd: Valve responds that no, the bans are because a community of cheaters had sprung up on Linux, and a reddit user does some digging and finds that the people making the claims are invested in making the cheats.
https://np.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/7ndjdt/valve_will_vac_ban_you_automatically_for_having/ds2dulw/

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/7nkwb8/statement_from_valve_employee_regarding_catbot/ds2m976/

quote:

The first response to the original GitHub issue: "Can Confirm this issue Existant on all GNU/Linux Distros that have Users and Steam support."

This user, BenCat07, has forked several cathook related repos prior to the issue. The user has also posted several times to reddit the following message: "Cathook has not been detected. VAC is simply banning anyone whose Linux username starts with "catbot" and Valve are manually applying VAC bans to the main accounts of people hosting catbots." This is the exact same message posted word for word by Kritzsie, the fifth responder. He also has several posts from several months back about the hack in question.

The second response to the original GitHub issue: "Can confirm this happened to a innocent account of mine. I never cheated and I do not associate with cheaters lol and this is very sad that this is happening."

This user, Marc3842h, has created a bot to abuse the CS:GO matchmaking system and has several videos on his YouTube account showcasing CS:GO hacks.

[...]

In addition, it is worth noting that the creator of the original issue, ikfe, follows the hack's creator and the first, second, and third responders (BenKat07, Marc3842h, and Kr4ken-9). He also has the hack starred on GitHub.

All of these accounts make for a rather suspicious picture of the original GitHub issue that instigated this drama.

Pennsylvania forms part of the northern border, near Lake Erie, so I have no loving clue.

Civil War battles with natives were fought in North Dakota and Minnesota, so they cannot be in the northern part of the country.
