9.0, would have been a 9.5 if Shadow had a gun

The private for profit health insurance industry - because what could make number go up better than a (LEGALLY MANDATED) do nothing middle man who's only purpose is to take your money and ensure as little as possible is spent on healthcare sitting between you and not dying?

Competition is good! Unless it makes shareholders sad.

From reading the penny arcade blog about it and watching the trailer, it seems to be an arthouse movie that just happens to be made by the most famous people on earth. You might love it or hate it but most people just won't get it either way

These sound right to me, especially Dying Earth - a podcast I listen to covered Gene Wolf's Book of the New Sun trilogy and they described it as such. Wikipedia calls it Science Fantasy. Great books by the way

lot of that going around I guess

 

Here's the best time from Sunday's Pike's Peak Hillclimb, Robin Shute driving. The car (all the cars in this class) is a custom made hill climb car possibly made just for this race.

The run itself is a new record but still has a few issues including what seems like a stall or shift failure early on.

Sort of like pheromones.

Getting mysteriously horny during the test drive

Better yet getting mysteriously aggressive smelling a rival and wanting to fight the car.

That average has to have some really grotesque edge cases. What really SHOULD happen for a variety of reasons is city centers shouldn't be a place you commute to but that you also live in and all the changes that come with that, including having far less or no cars at all. Suburbia and cities designed for cars are the problems, self driving cars are a venture capital magnet looking for a problem to fix.

Reading more of these comments it's clear we need to invest heavily in biking and transit infrastructure so taking away some idiots drivers license doesn't damn them to poverty
