Only 18 months of production? One of the perks of the models I've owned was that I brought them late in their production run before succeeded by the next model. There tends to be unforeseen issues with the first and second years. I'm still happy with and love my 2014 Volt, I just wish I had the...

As nostalgic as I am for these games, the third generation also brings back memories of feeling shafted for features I loved from the second generation--like trading with the prior generation, another adventure after the Elite 4, and especially a day/night cycle. To not even offer online...

Gosh, there seems to be lots of semi-unnecessary reinventing of the wheel. I loved the "MB-Tex" vinyl in my 20+ year old used Mercedes vehicles I first drove. It appeared flawless compared to actual leather seats in Lincoln Town Cars only 5 years old, and could be easily scrubbed with dish soap...

The EV offerings from Hyundai, Mercedes and BMW look nice. As someone with a 2014 Volt still going strong, I remain disappointed that there remains no new Extended-Range EVs being offered in the US to potentially upgrade to. None of the current plug-in hybrid EVs I'm aware of have the...

The discussions over interpretating Vitruvius' recipe for concrete reminds me of the difficulties in interpreting some ancient or medieval cooking recipes--many seemed to expect the reader to know what or how to do something without needing to quantify, explain, or even mention it.

I fear any such invention would both: 1. Require the heavy use of AI to glamourize every photo in your browser into something Norman Rockwell, Studio Ghibli or some other rip-off style of your choice--burning off the rest of our clean water. 2. Downplay and whitewash the true grotesque nature of...

I'd rather Microsoft Sam read me out the subtitles than this AI slop, at least I could have a laugh. I really wish the voice actors and dub voice actors weren't typically in such different classes, but I do really appreciate the general improvement for dubs over the last few decades. I used to...

I used to wonder why in 1990 Nintendo sought for a live-action Super Mario movie over Legend of Zelda, considering the difference in storytelling and worldbuilding between the two properties. After reviewing the releases and units sold between the franchises in that point in time, it's clear...

I think Germany and Russia would be in collective shock and denial over your different experience. I wonder if your experience is different because your brain is trying to access a dormant language learned in childhood, compared to a language you acquired as an adult. I can see how there are...

How very interesting, I've long wondered about the potentiality of future AI generated chat for these NPCs. The NPC dialogue is sort of the first thing I lose interest in on Animal Crossing, to the point I find myself avoiding much chatter in the current release to try to keep it fresh. I wish...

I really hope this game can pivot into a success, or that it doesn't end the videogame series like Sim City 5 did.

I love commuting on my motorcycle, and have on and off the last 15 years without incident. Once I got an electric car with working AC (Volt), I rode much less in 90+ F degree weather or inclement weather. Summer heat is a killer with full gear, and I just don't feel comfortable anymore with...

May be futile to hope for, but I hope this includes more display settings in the way of 'Color Correction' or 'Night Light' options. While I appreciate combining the 'Grayscale' color correction with 'Night Light' for nighttime use, I'd enjoy a red monochrome setting even more. Candy Crush color...

I'd prefer the Star Trek engineer Montgomery Scott's approach of over-estimating the time it takes to complete by a factor of 4, so that you look like a genius if/when arriving early. Since secrecy breaks down the more individuals are involved in development, I'd think a development blog would...

It was one thing when I was a child receiving Nintendo products and games as gifts on my birthday or xmas. Once I got into PC games and paying for my own way, I found myself sinking hundreds of hours into discounted Civilization 5/6 compared to much more expensive Nintendo titles that were...

I was probably too happy to see the headline. Customer service from some major online account-holders like Google and Meta have seemed to nearly vanish. Ever see a web comic artist have their profile (obviously) hijacked and reported on for weeks with no action? I do generally enjoy the...

Was just made to switch over to 11 on our work computers last week. Still no vertical taskbar :rolleyes:. At least the option for labels on open apps have returned, as boneheaded as it was to remove it in the first place. Our Teams app no longer flashes orange on new notifications. Feels like my...

I don't get it, it's like car manufacturers no longer do extensive stress and water proof testing with careful attention to how things wear. View: https://youtu.be/roTyhgbSx1g?si=W_yUKGmA--m-5JWO

Why not the United States? We already have 50 states, and ones an LDS state. Alaska is rich land, largely unoccupied, and not surrounded by a billion people willing to wage holy wars spanning centuries and millennia. We're already a country founded by religious exiles, pilgrims and settlers.

Financial compensation to the victim sounds great. I hope prison time isn't liberally given to children, and strictly limited to those that result or call to violence. We've enough children prisoners. At the rate of which misinformation travels, with how feepfake quality is increasing, we're...
