It's so simple a child could understand it; yet, it's somehow impossible to many adults.

Ubisoft wishes they could make a game that good.

I've also never seen a fellow engineer simplify pi to just 3, although I have seen a rise of memes from people who think they do.

I would slap someone if I saw them try that, it's unnecessarily sloppy. 3.14 is the default, and trivial to work with if you're using a calculator (I would also slap someone if I saw them not using a calculator). Unless you just LIKE having all your calculations be off by almost 5%. Then you'll come back wondering why so many of your parts are out of tolerance.

If a person impersonating a cop spouted out some random digits when I asked for their badge and serial number, I doubt I would be able to tell the difference.

Idiots have decided the new definition of genocide is simply "when one side kills a bunch of people on the other side" and get angry when you point out how infantile that is.

He also has to explain the concept of a meme.

Now I'm wondering if Ea Nasir was the first documented shithead. Like, I'm sure there were shitty people before him, but do we have any direct evidence of their individual existence?

Really getting sick of this wave of straw man comics that just seem like arguments the creator made up in their head. It's like the leftist version of Ben Garrison and it's just as pathetic.

I'd like to see how many people are at these protests.

"Sorry, you must not have heard me; you called me back for an interview and the others didn't."

 

Is it just a matter of not being worth it? I see cooling towers releasing what appears to be a ton of steam, pretty high up. If that steam were captured at the top and allowed to condense, wouldn't that result in a ton of water with a lot of gravitational potential energy? That water could then be released and used to power water turbines. Maybe I'm overestimating the amount of water being released as steam, or underestimating how much is needed to spin a water turbine to get a meaningful result, but it seems like wasted energy to me.

 

I'm aiming to get the 30k steps in a day achievement and was wondering if the app considered a day as in a calendar day, or if it's 30k steps in 24 hours?

30k steps comes out to about 15 miles. If the app goes off 24 hours, I was considering taking a backpacking trip some weekend and hiking half in an afternoon, stopping for the night, and doing the rest in the morning. But if it goes by calendar, I'd have to adjust my plans.

 

I'm moving across the country in a few weeks and am trying to plan my route as I'll be driving a moving van with a car towed behind it. The entire drive will be 16-17 hours.

Google maps seems limited for searching everything I'd want to take into account for the route (pull through gas stations, height requirements, avoiding mountain highways, etc.) and was wondering if anyone knew of a better way to plan out the trip?
