When the legislature reduced the freeway speed limits (in the 90's, I think), California Highway Patrol sent out their vehicles to take up all available lanes of traffic going at exactly the speed limit on the commuter routes during peak time. It took people hours extra to get to work that day.
I remember seeing news helicopter video of the cops driving in a fixed line, with an empty highway in front of them and what looked like a high speed parking lot behind them, backed up for miles.

Then again, the videos of kids getting their faces slammed into cake bug the poo poo out of me. Not because it's cruel (which is arguable I guess), but because it isn't funny. It's not clever. It's loving retarded.

That's a thing in Latino birthday parties, so in at least one culture (and probably a few of the videos) it's not considered cruel.

Very recently Wil Wheaton had a blog post go viral about this very thing. Huffington asked him if they could reprint an article he wrote. He asked how much do they pay contributors, and they hemmed and hawwed, explaining they don't, but it's great widespread exposure for his work! He said no. The blog post talks about how the claim of "exposure" is a dirty business attempt and how no matter what you create, you should never let yourself be ripped off like that. In his case, he figured even at industry minimums per word he should be offered $260, which isn't much for a guy like him, but it's still more than zero.

The steam machine costs $449 for the cheapest version of it and the most expensive version(with an i7) is $749, not sure where you got the 900-1500. Also if you are willing to build your own machine, you can put together a ~$500 machine that will run any game, though not on the highest graphics settings for the newest games.

:shrug:

Yep, and even then, the $500 versions will perform similar to current gen consoles, and the more expensive ones are more capable.

It's similar to how cell carriers in the US are moving away from subsidizing phones through an added fee on contract, and are instead selling directly. Some people have griped that "I get a new phone every 2 years, and it usually costs me $100 but now they are asking $600? WTF is this?"
Two different business models.

Also, my dad claims that in his year all the auto shop students came together one morning to disassemble the principals car, carry it piece by piece to the roof of the gym, and (sort of) reassemble it there. They were short of time, so they didn't actually finish reassembling it up top, but it LOOKED like they did. Also, several small but important parts may have gone missing.

Definitely doesn't look like it, but apparently there was a concussion AND brain injury from that? How is that even possible? Dude has a glass jaw.

quote:

A federal jury in Seattle awarded $21.5 million in damages to an Illinois man who was injured by an automatic sliding-glass door on a cruise ship in 2011.

The verdict included $16.5 million in punitive damages. James Hausman's attorneys argued during a nine-day trial that dozens of other passengers have been injured by the doors on Holland America Line cruises because of problems with their sensors, The Seattle Times reported Tuesday

That's the key. The courts are attempting to, erm, encourage the cruise line to fix their known safety hazard.

If you haven't seen TFA and want to remain 100% unspoiled maybe skip this post and probably the linked video.

Max Landis (screen writer and son of John Landis) has caused thousands of nerds to get super angry that he has an opinion that is less than glowing about the Force Awakens and specifically the character of Rey.



The video summarizes a few dozen of his tweets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpS6TlqgLIQ

Hop on to his Twitter feed https://twitter.com/Uptomyknees to see the well reasoned and thoughtful responses he has received for having an opinion.



Its schadenfreude coming at you from all sides.

Everyone knows Raiders of the Lost Ark is the Landis family's favorite George Lucas film.

I wonder what that is. It looks like styrofoam, but styrofoam wouldn't have nearly enough mass to crack a windshield, and snow wouldn't hold together that well, would it?

See all the snow around? The only thing that makes sense is that the cold weather has made the Styrofoam more firm and that's why it broke the windshield

I saw an old man stopped at a metered 2 lane onramp waiting for his green light to get on and merge. He wasn't pulled quite far enough forward to activate the sensor, so he sat there for almost 2 minutes staring at the red light with a line of angry cars behind him.

A model rich guy is Garth Brooks.
Guy made a gazillion dollars in the 90's, and then took an 18 year hiatus to build a big house on a big piece of land and just continue to get richer while having a normal-ish family life completely away from the public eye.

Then he just did a tour last year selling out stadiums for multiple nights in a row in each city.

It's true that there's an upper limit, but it scales way past 70k if you frame it properly.

Yeah. It's not that money is not useful past a certain point, but that the returns are diminishing. Ask a guy making $30k a year whether he wants a $250 bonus or two extra vacation days, and ask a guy earning $300k whether he wants a $2,500 bonus or two extra vacation days.
First guy probably takes the cash, and the second guy takes the time off.
