Germany?

Where did you get that from?

Hiroshima was at that point still completely unharmed, had no prisons for captured American soldiers and was roughly the same size as German cities that were previously bombed, so they had an easy way to compare the effectiveness of the bombs to classic bombing campaigns. Nagasaki was just a fallback target because Kokura was too cloudy (which Nagasaki was then as well, but they didn’t have enough fuel to return with the bomb on board, so they decided to drop it anyway).

And if i could i would select the physically attractive ones so that all people can have a girlfriend.

If you really think physical attractiveness is the major factor in finding a partner you should first grow up. Then, after that, you can discuss topics like the one you tried here. And hopefully, by then you’ll have a better understanding of what makes a life worth living and why it’s a bad idea to have eugenics.

8 players is tough… We play quite some couch cooperative games, so here’s some recommendations. None of them except a single party game for 8 at once though, I’m afraid.

• overcooked was already recommended. I second that. It’s great. But man, it’s intense, too… You can only play this with people who can laugh at themselves. I’ve heard purple say that this game might jeopardise friendships and I get it.
• lovers in a dangerous spacetime is a game I’m madly in love with. It’s a coop roguelike which mixes space and lasers (which worked well for some of our kids) with pink rainbow unicorn aesthetics (which worked well for the other kids) and is just all around great fun to play.
• boomerang fu was already recommended. I like the design and the the music has some real bangers, but it’s a competitive game which might lead to some conflict, depending on your group dynamics.
• unrailed cost us quite some hours as well. We really liked it, but imho it gets quite tough quite fast - we rarely got to the third of iirc ten biomes. Maybe it’s because we always play it with our kids. Maybe we just suck at it. Despite this issue, we sunk quite some hours into it because it just still works well.
• Trine is three players coop only… It’s a platformer. I didn’t like the design so much, but my kids love it, so I guess that’s still a good verdict.
• pixel cup soccer is our go-to soccer game. It’s obviously a simple arcade game, but it’s fun.
• Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed is our Not-Mario-Kart Kartracer and it works well. Not a fan of the tanks in there for a kid’s game though.
• the Jack’s party box games or whatever they’re called are a kind of mixed bag, but drawful is great fun. It’s also the only game on this list for 8 players. You draw stuff on a phone or a tablet and there’s a well-working mechanic to make people guess what was drawn.
• while I haven’t played it yet (waiting for a deal), Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is supposedly a great take on classic streets of rage style beat em ups.
• Rayman: Origins is a beautifully made and well designed platformer that can be played cooperatively with up to four people. True classic imho.
• for a quick party session, our kids love ultimate chicken horse where you build a level and then race through it. Tbh, for me it didn’t really provide too much replayability, but hey, if the kids like it, who am I to judge?

So slower by 0.7 sec? Unless only you are allowed to cherry pick from the data.

The Subaru is specifically the rare higher performance engine, so comparing them to the higher performance versions of comparable EVs would be the only fair thing to do.

the driving dynamics of EVs and ICEs is basically the same when actually in use.

Absolutely not, but hey, whatever you want to believe that makes you happy.

It’s worth it; it feels like driving an EV with how quickly it picks up speed

Doubt.

Just checked it and if I got the right model, 0-100 is between 7.2 and 8 seconds, depending on the model year. Mid range EV SUVs such as the Enyaq are between 5.5 and 8.7 seconds, so way below the outback if you don’t pick the low end version. Performance-centric EVs are below 4 seconds. And they all have a more or less constant torque which just isn’t possible for ICEs.

If you like your car that’s fine. But combustion engines aren’t even close to how EVs drive.

What about Sony phones? They have headphone jacks. They don’t get long update guarantees though.

Samsung’s Galaxy A series still has jacks, I think Samsung promises 5 years of security updates for them.

The radiation chosen specially to kill Kuzco

They obviously don’t know what they’re doing, ffs.

It is the coolest invention since the Internet and it is remarkable how close it can resemble actual consciousness.

No. It isn’t. First and foremost, it produces a randomised output that it has learned to make look like other stuff on the Internet. It has as much to do with consciousness as a set of dice and the fact that you think it’s more than that already shows how you don’t understand what it is and what it does.

AI doesn’t produce anything new. It doesn’t reason, it isn’t creative. As it has no understanding or experience, it doesn’t develop or change. Using it to produce art shows a lack of understanding of what art is supposed to be or accomplish. AI only chews up what’s being thrown at it to vomit it onto the Web, without any hint of something new. It also lacks understanding about the world, so asking it about decisions to be made is not only like asking an encyclopedia that comes up with answers on the fly based on whether they sound nice, regardless of the answers being correct, applicable or even possible.

And on top of all of this, on top of people using a bunch of statistical dice rolls to rob themselves of experiences and progress that they’d have made had they made their own decisions or learned painting themselves, it’s an example of the “rules for thee, not for me”. An industry that has lobbied against the free information exchange for decades, that sent lawyers after people who downloaded decades old books or movies for a few hours of private enjoyment suddenly thinks that there might be the possibility of profits around the corner, so they break all the laws they helped create without even the slightest bit of self-awareness. Their technology is just a hollow shell that makes the Internet unusable for all the shit it produces, but at least it isn’t anything else. Their business model, however, openly declares that people are only second class citizens.

There you are. That’s why I hate it. What’s not to hate?

I’ll tape this to my office door.

I’ve seen this so often before and I still don’t understand why they didn’t just build an ordinary roundabout. It’s just six roads that meet there. That’s not beyond ordinary roundabout capabilities. Who said “you know what, let’s just do a circular arrangement of five roundabouts here, that’s so much better than what people are used to”?
