There used to be laws in place that prevented this, but our government is far too corrupt and were paid off to do away with them via the 1996 telecommunications act, which did several good things, but opened the doors wide open to allow conglomerations the go ahead to buy and own many more news outlets and communications outlets across the country.

Issue is that in the NES days, an entire game was just one to ten people and less than 1MB of data. Not much overhead risk at all. Now games are 100 people or more and 10,000MB. Not many want to invest millions on so much risk.

It’s also why there’s so many good “old looking” indie games. Only 1 in 50 ends up being really, really, good, but the overhead to making the game is a tiny drop in the bucket.

“Task failed successfully”

Color code for 220 is red,red,brown,blue. The picture sucks, but it doesn’t look like any of them match that color code.

That much gallium would be really expensive. Someone just melted a pan on the burner by turning it on high and leaving.

Or that everyone everywhere pictures a little robot the size of like Wall-e, when curiosity is really 10 feet long, 7 feet high, and 2,000 pounds.

May have been a drop of some sort before coming to a stop. They were only in there for 6 hours, but while one died, it states four others were injured. As8lide from a brawl inside an elevator, I can’t really think of anything else that would cause 5 out of 12 people to get hurt.

Oh, I’ll absolutely be giving that a shot. Seems like a blast.

They’re called tillers. The steering radius advancements and ladder construction allowed for shorter trucks that could turn tight enough to stop needing tillers in most areas. They’re still in a lot of narrow and tight big cities like Kansas city, MO. The city I work at is also actually planning on getting one in about 5 more years, so they are still in demand. It’s just that they aren’t needed a lot of times, now.

Him going sideways meant his braking wasn’t working. If there’s slipping you want to let off the brake and down shift (you can do this in automatics) to the lowest gear that doesn’t make you slip. Staying straight to where your wheels aren’t slipping is a priority over braking or getting slower. The only way of slowing is to have traction, and you don’t want it while sideways.

I would have tried keeping straight and then veered over into the dry lane and started slowing down.

Passenger busses? None. 52,000 pound fire engines? Many.

Great for a side job in my neck of the woods. I make about $27 an hour. You’ll need at least a class b commercial license with air brake. Then you need a tanker and a haz mat endorsement, but those two are stupid easy to get.

Drive to a spot, pull a hose, fill a tank, and go to the next one, mostly.

It really wasn’t. He went sideways because he was hitting his brakes after it started to go sideways.

It really wasn’t. The only reason he got sideways was because he tried using his brakes too much. The driver got lucky. The one thing he did do right was keeping his front wheels pointing the direction he was sliding.

When sliding and starting to go sideways at all, it’s time to lay off the brakes. They will only make it worse.

*edit- Just wanted to add that I’m speaking from a lot of experience. Commercial drivers license, 15 years of driving fire engines, tankers, and ladder trucks in all weather. Plus my side job is delivering propane during the winter. I’ve slid on ice while carrying around nearly 3,000 gallons of liquid pressurized propane. That gets your butt to pucker.

Yep. You take a month off from league of legends and all of a sudden 50 things have changed/rebalanced and there’s 2 new heroes to figure out.

So nice going back to gaming on my own terms. I’m replaying ffvii right now with 7th heaven mods. Been over 25 years since I played it last, and it’s still awesome, mostly.

I think it’s time you took the L and moved on, my guy.

Glad I could help.

It’s a way of representing how many houses, buildings, and apartments lost power, since 5 people might live in a house, but that’s only one customer.

I dropped them all like 8 years ago. Not even the microtransaction parts for me since I never played any pay to win games and not big on caring about skins or hats. It was that any game time I had, felt like I had to play league of Legends, or I’d fall behind.

So I dropped it and have happily gone back to pretty much exclusively single player games. It’s nice.
