Yeah. That song even has the benefit of being in English, so you don’t need to find a translation as an English non-German speaker.

What on earth are you talking about? It’s on the 370Z chassis, one of the most loved enthusiast platforms out there.

Anyone wrapping it around a tree has a case of driver error to blame. Having owned every generation of Z since the 300ZX, I found it to handle excellently.

Rammstein got so sick and tired of being called Nazis just because they make harsh music with German lyrics that they put out “Links 2 3 4” two decades ago to clear up that they lean socialist. And Till Lindemann himself has said repeatedly that they hate Nazis. And yet, people still associate them with it because they can’t think beyond “Scary German music = Nazi”.

I agree with the sentiment, but in going to “uhm acksually” you on the size of the nuclear stockpile. Russia still holds more nukes officially: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_nuclear_weapons

I think you’re on to something here honestly. Windows Phone was Microsoft’s last big new bet in the consumer market (you could argue Game Pass here, but the scope is more niche than a general compute platform), and I am sure that if it succeeded there would’ve been a significant cultural shift at Microsoft, similar to how the success (and subsequent revenue stream dominance) of iPhone/iOS did at Apple.

Sadly, we don’t live in that reality, so now everything Microsoft makes (again, with exception of the aforementioned and dreadfully mismanaged Xbox/Game Pass efforts) for consumers needs to have some kind of enterprise revenue angle to get greenlit at all. From experience I can tell you that a large number of great product ideas wither on the vine at Microsoft simply because management doesn’t consider anything that won’t move the needle on enterprise revenue.

I love these kings of threads because there’s always some unknown to me gem in there. I had never heard of this game, but your comment and the glowing reviews have me sold and excited to go check it out. Thank you, kind internet stranger.

Fine. Keep your Napolitan pizza, while I get to enjoy the wonders of focaccia and flammkuchen :D

Exactly. Plus, get me a foccacia with some great toppings and I will happily trade you a Napolitan pizza.

We were talking about national cuisines. To my knowledge Naples is part of the country of Italy.

B is being slept on in this thread. I mean, look at it - you get northern Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, the northern Balkans, Sweden, and Finland. If you like pasta, pizza, grilled meats, fries, potatoes, sausages, licorice, a mindbogglingly large number of breads and cheeses, etc. etc. you’d be stupid not to pick that region.

For some reason this made me feel much older than knowing GTA V launched 11 years ago. I grew up with an NES.

I was going g to comment how I have the thing pictured, but that it comes with several real drawbacks. Not just mosquitoes either. Imagine having to buy and operate your own snow plow to leave the house in winter. Or buying groceries in bulk because the nearest Walmart is a three hour drive.

And that’s why I am in favour of abolishing the Nobel peace prize. It’s a clearly politically charged award that rewards an individual’s or group’s actions during a particular snapshot in time, which they then get to have as their accolades for the rest of their lives.

And yes, you could make that argument for every Nobel prize, but unlike rewarding peace efforts that the nominee could undermine or even undo the next day after receiving the award, you can’t un-invent a scientific breakthrough.

God, I hate how this is accurate on both accounts. Fucking dog whistles…

“Just one more layoff. Just one more and I promise we’ll have Copilot reach AGI. We just need one more layoff to make the cost structure work. Please, just one more.”

Yeah, I agree. Not sure why the west is so eager to shield Israel from their responsibilities, but Netanyahu and co should stand trial for their crimes against humanity. But so should Khamenei.

Agreed. I don’t care who gets tried in The Hague first though, so long as both get their lawful comeuppance.

This is the only sane take. Bombing hospitals is a war crime for a goddamn reason.

There is simply no excuse for this, both sides should be held liable for their war crimes.

At this point it’s practically the official dub. As it should be, because it’s hilarious.

Island full of racists, several cults, and whatever the Telvanni are into that’s not just straight up racial superiority, slavery, and eugenics. Plus some really fucked up gods.
