In China (and Nepal according to my daughter) if you hit 'em, you better kill 'em. And they do.

This is because in China if you hit someone with your car you are responsible for their medical bills and have to pay them a stipend each month if they have continuing health problems. If you kill them you just get a small, one time fee.

Have they revealed how he managed to shoot himself and somehow not have the murder weapon near him? He didn't shoot himself with his own service weapon did he? Or did he manage to ditch the gun while he was bleeding out?

This is one way to do it. What this guy did was tie a bunch of balloons to a revolver and then shot himself. The idea was that that the gun would float away and it would look like a homicide instead of suicide so his family could still collect his life insurance. It would have worked too if the balloon gun got stuck in a tree.

Turns out the guy who made and gave him the cakes is also gay and Whole Foods released security footage showing the label was on top of his cake, not on the side as in his picture. Oh and the writing Colour and everything is totally different. And they are going to sue his rear end back into the closet.

This reminds of the2008 Mcain/Pailin volunteer who tried to claim that on Election Day a 6"5 black guy in " Shiny Shoes" robbed her at an ATM and then drew a B on her face with a knife while screaming " You're going to be a Barak supporter bitch!" Drudge and Fox both went wild with stories of Strapping Young Bucks and Thugs intimidating and mutilationg precious, pure, virginal white women. Of course after 2 seconds of questioning her story falls apart completely. She then claim she had amnesia and woke up with a "B" carved on her face, and that her story of being attacked by black men was the the most logical conclusion.

Here's a weird one.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-04-05-coleco-chameleon-boss-i-am-officially-tabling-the-console-venture-for-good

A guy who had the brilliant idea to make a 300 dollar cartridge based console in 2016 got scammed out of almost 8,000 dollars by a con man.

It was going to be called the RetroVGS, and it was supposed to play SNES and Genesis cartridges at 1080p with only an HDMI out, with additional indie games to be programmed for it, without the ability to upgrade or patch the games. The cartridges were going to be cost almost 50 dollars, much, much more than the same game on Steam. But it was on a cartridge!

They first tried to get a Kickstarter going, but Kickstarter requires a working prototype, so it was cancelled. They tried again with Indiegogo, but it fell 1,918,842 dollars short of their 2 million dollar goal.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/retro-vgs#/

After this they tried to piggy back on a cultural zeitgeist at the zenith of it's popularity by branding it the " Coleco Chameleon". The international holding company that owns the Colecovision name said this was fine as long as they didn't have to pay for anything.
With Colecovision on board everything was starting to look up and they then tried to fund it themselves. They were contacted by a former engineer who claimed he could have a working prototype in 30 days for 4,000 dollars. The project lead (Mike Kennedy) apparently didn't think it was odd the the engineer ( one Sean Lee Robinson, who we'll get too in a minute) didn't have a bank account and needed all the checks given to him to be cashed with Mike present at Mike's bank. Kennedy gave Sean 3 seperate checks totaling 8,000 dollars. He was given explicit instructions by Sean not to let anyone photograph or even view the back of his prototype. It was playing SNES games on a CRT monitor,which was odd because it was supposed to only have an HDMI out. A few people at the Toy Fair were not impressed, and claimed they didn't even know if the prototype was even plugged in, so Mike allowed them to photo the back of the console to prove it was indeed plugged in and running. Some people who saw it immediately called bullshit. Turns out the "prototype" was just an SNES motherboard shoved inside an Atari Jaguar shell running a flashdrive to emulate old SNES games.
https://twitter.com/frankcifaldi/status/699662592218787841?ref_src=twsrc^tfw

After a few days of speculation the designers released a picture of a clear version of the console to show how it was all new hardware and not just some SNES guts. This was a bad idea as the hardware was just a PC capture card, once again shoved inside a Jaguar shell.

Turns out Sean Robinson was a well known scammer who had been selling bunk MAME boards to people for the past 15 years. He has been charged 7 times with Grand Theft and spent a year in prison .

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.games.video.arcade.collecting/3GHJlQ2mErk

When all this came to light Coleco said " we can't allow the hallowed name of Colecovision to be sullied by this failure" and announced they were withdrawing their name and cancelling any association they had with the project.

It was announced today that the project was officially over.

Why in the gently caress do people want an exact thing that already exists, but willing to pay several times more for it? If you want to play Nintendo games, play them on actual Nintendo? Or Steam? Or emulator? I don't understand

You mean you don't want a cartridge version of Shovel Knight 8 months after it's released on Steam that costs an extra 40 dollars and has no way to get DLC or patches? Well jokes on you because the cartridge will only grow in value as collectors snatch them up, making them very rare!

So, my grandma was being held in the hospital overnight, and we decided we'd go visit her. Problem was, none of us knew where the gently caress in the city that hospital was, and my dad was thinking his GPS was only gonna get us "close", so he asked me to look the place up on his tablet while he was driving.

a few highlights

wikipedia posted:

455 BC: Aeschylus, the great Athenian author of tragedies. Valerius Maximus wrote that he was killed by a tortoise dropped by an eagle that had mistaken his bald head for a rock suitable for shattering the shell of the reptile. Pliny, in his Naturalis Historić, adds that Aeschylus had been staying outdoors to avert a prophecy that he would be killed by a falling object.

wikipedia posted:

206 BC: One ancient account of the death of Chrysippus, the 3rd century BC Greek Stoic philosopher, tells that he died of laughter after he saw a donkey eating his figs; he told a slave to give the donkey neat wine to drink to wash them down with, and then, "...having laughed too much, he died" (Diogenes Laertius 7.185).[20]

wikipedia posted:

1346: John of Bohemia, after being blind for 10 years, died in the Battle of Crecy when he tied his army's horse reins to his own and charged. He was slaughtered in the ensuing fight.[30]

wikipedia posted:

1854: William Snyder, a 13 year old, died when a circus clown swung him around by his heels.[45]

wikipedia posted:

1982: David Grundman was killed near Lake Pleasant, Arizona, U.S., while shooting at cacti with his shotgun. After he fired several shots at a 26 ft (8 m) tall Saguaro Cactus from extremely close range, a 4 ft (1.2 m) limb of the cactus detached and fell on him, crushing him.[79][80][81]

wikipedia posted:

1993: Garry Hoy, a 38-year-old lawyer in Toronto, Canada, fell to his death on 9 July 1993 after he threw himself against a window on the 24th floor of the Toronto-Dominion Centre in an attempt to prove to a group of visitors that the glass was "unbreakable", a demonstration he had done many times before. The glass did not break, but popped out of the window frame, and Hoy fell to his death.[86][87]

wikipedia posted:

2007: Humberto Hernandez, a 24-year-old Oakland, California, resident, was killed after being struck in the face by an airborne fire hydrant while walking. A passing car had struck the fire hydrant and the water pressure shot the hydrant at Hernandez with enough force to kill him.[100][101][102]

Yeah man, cars are totally mysterious and unpredictable. That's why NASCAR drivers can race side by side in a corner at nearly 200 miles an hour. That's why formula one drivers can take hairpins a insane speeds. That's why WRC drivers can do 80mph sideways through the woods while hitting jumps. That's why NHRA dragsters can hit like 300mph in a quarter mile. Cars: totally and completely incomprehensible mysteries. That accident was totally and completely avoidable, and 100% caused by that driver making terrible decisions followed by not knowing how to actually handle his vehicle in an emergency.

The schadenfruede is that so many people drive a car every loving day without having any loving idea what to do in an emergency, while constantly patting themselves on the back for being ~good drivers~.
