So who's the dumbass again? Oh right, that'd be you. Just to point out exactly how out of touch you are. Skyrim is DX9 only. Skyrim:SE is DX11. Guess which one is still modded the most? Yeah...so out-of-touch. Guess that's why it also top(ed) out on steams concurrent players well...nearly every week. That's the DX9 version.
So you know absolutely nothing about the Los Angles area.
Nice assumption, really don't make an ass out of yourself. And no, it's not exactly like the example I provided. I guess I can use your "so you know nothing about the GTA."
And the majority of people commuting to that city do not do this. That's the entire point. While it may be cheaper, the vast majority of commuters don't do this. If they did, those areas would no longer be "remote" because they'd be large cities in their own right.
Sure you keep believing that, let me know when you discover the $70/daily commuter flights(turboprop) from "a city" to your job, they exist up here. Those areas are remote, the definition of a city starts at a population of around 1000-4000 people. I'll even give you a hint, it's still south of the arctic circle by over half a day.
In the U.S., we say suburban. But that has nothing to do with the numbers we were looking at, right? Sounds more like you're saying that the stats are hard for you to understand, not that they are inaccurate.
No, because in Canada, suburban is different then rural-urban. An example. If you live in Toronto, but live in Mississauga you're living in a suburban city. If you live in London, you're urban. If you live in Woodstock, Tillsonburg, New Hamburg and so on you're rural-urban. It's not that they're hard for "me" to understand, but maybe it's hard for "you" to understand that the methodology is different.
You might almost have a fair point there -- at least something to discuss-- if it wasn't a bullshit attempt to move the goalposts. Obviously, you know very well that what you said, and what I responded to, was: And we've clearly put that bit to bed, haven't we?
No, because you've already missed it. Yeah, the average age of a car on the road here in Ontario is about 15 years. You can find a $15k car brand new if you're willing to pressure the dealership(aka know how to negotiate). But all of those vehicles you mentioned run between $40k-68k up here in Canada, that's with the tax incentives.
The real question will be whether or not bethesda actually learns from this or not. Dumbing down core games to try and sell to larger numbers of people while abandoning your core audience really didn't work out too well for them. One of the reasons they've rehashed skyrim 3 times.
That only affects DirectX 9, which games haven't used in many years and the old games that are DirectX 9 based don't need access to that much VRAM. It's a complete non-issue.
"Old" You mean like Skyrim? How about GTA V? GTA IV? Witcher 2? Anno2070? Various Batman games? Civ V? Deux Ex:HR? Dishonored? Mechwarrior Online? Metro games? Red Faction? World of Warcraft? New Xcom games? How about ENB's that use custom shaders and effects but a dx9 core? No?
Win 7? the version of windows along with 8.x that have vram limits only allowing the total space to 4064MB to be allocated? Because both OS's blew their shit all over the place and all that. Which is really, like really, really good if you have a single, pair, or more video cards with 8GB of onboard memory that can't be fully used. Maybe you can get developers to use vulkan more and that won't be a problem for gaming, or well development, or even cad programs.
When another game has as interesting a settlement building system (without being as annoying would be a bonus), I'll go play that instead.
Banished? Rimworld? Pretty much any RTS? No, I get your point but that was the only real selling point in FO4, actually the settlement building system was pretty shit anyway. So much so that someone... well made it better in every regard. It's called sim settlements. Here's the problem, fallout isn't supposed to be "about building your settlement" it should be a side, something fun, it wasn't, it failed even that terribly. Everything about the game from the gutting of RPG choices, to gutting the fuck out of the dialog makes it a terrible game.
I am living in Europe. Just yesterday I quit a decently paying job because the commute took me one hour and fifteen minutes (one way). This is unbearable in the long term. It"s inconceivable to me how anyone can put up with so much time of their life wasted just to get to work and back again. I'd rather be poor than a corporate slave like this.
If you live in a large country, like Canada, US, Russia. That's not really a choice in some cases. Canada for example, ~15m people which is nearly half the population of the country live between Windsor and Ottawa along a narrow stretch of highway. ~10m of those live between Hamilton and Oshawa. Sure, you might be able to find a job close by, but more likely you're going to be commuting because you're out-priced to buy a house and you can't afford to move into rentals because they're either already full of the poor/lower income or because those rents are far too high. A decade ago when I was living with my ex in Toronto, we were a block from Greektown which is basically downtown Toronto. It was right around $1500/mo for a basement apartment that was 400sqft(37sqm), it's only gotten worse since then.
The disparity in wages vs availability is far beyond what you see in the US or even Europe, far beyond Europe. A friend of mine who works for IBM in Toronto and clears and easy $500k/year commutes from Kitchener because if he wanted to live within driving distance(say 30-40m), the starting house prices begin at $2.4m. Where he can buy a house in Kitchener for $480k that's 15 years old and been renovated. That still puts him in a 40-50min one-way commute every day.
Ontario itself is well, broken. No other way to put it. There's a government that's pushed anti-industry, service-only jobs for the last decade. Then decided to push through $15/hr minimum wage believing that this would "cure the disparity." The only thing that's happened is, low income got a bump...and everyone else stayed flat. So if you were making $22/hr your buying power is now far less then what it was 2 years ago when the min. wage was ~$13/hr. Round that out with high energy prices? Well the middle class is a rapidly shrinking class here, and if you're in that sub $30k/year spot? I sure hope you enjoy food banks, and living pay to pay and maybe keeping the lights on and roof over your head. It's bad enough the government had to outlaw winter electricity disconnection for fear of large numbers of people freezing to death.
Everyone lies at some point or another. Governments should be assumed to always lie. It's one of the reasons the US has the 2nd amendment, because government should fear the people not the other way around. European governments have basically forgotten the "awakening of democracies" back in the 1600, 1700's. People themselves are getting far more twitchy over those restricted rights. Compare simply the US to Canada, which has more european guaranteed rights. Speech is restricted "to what can be defined in law"(sic). Where in European countries, speech is restricted to "what the state defines as speech" vs speech is fundamentally protected, whether it be actual hate speech or being an asshole, in the US.
I thought that's mandatory on the Internet, like on/.
Only us crazy people who were against mandatory names on the internet don't do it.
Please pick up your: You are a terrorist, psychopath, sociopath, nazi, next unibomber t-shirt and card here. Dues are payable to the treasurer the 3rd Tuesday of every month. Potlucks are on the 11th and 22nd. Meetings to chuckle at the media for calling you crazy are held on the 7th and 28th of the month.
Never leased a car, but I assume Hyundai actually owns the vehicle. Seems reasonable that they can dictate how it is repaired. No?
Correct. That's the only difference, in the law because they still own the vehicle and expect to get a return after the lease with a post-lease sale. Most auto companies have something of a 2yr "used car warranty" program for those post-lease sales too. There's also a cost advantage, since if the part fails in-warranty or there's a recall it can be written off directly by the company in-house instead of having to get the paperwork from a 3rd party supplier.
Yeah, and to think it doesn't have to be replaced every 25 years like what they mandated with 14/3. Does have the downside of having no grounds, and the occasional problem with hot splicing though.
London-Toronto is... if you're lucky a 5.5hr round-trip drive per day. When I was commuting in to Toronto, and I got hit in a traffic jam which is blindly common. Sitting for 3hrs on top of the normal commute time was normal too. And big enough of an issue that the current political party is trying go buy voters with a high-speed rail line from Windsor to London to Toronto.
Stat can's data is rather a mess. Especially since they use what's a combination of "rural-urban" for instance. You're also forgetting about the realities of cost. That EV is around 4x the cost or more then a plain old gas car, and around 6x more then a simple cheap used diesel. On top of that once you "get outside of the corridor" places where you can charge them dry right up.
You mean I vastly underestimate how common this is. LA is a poor example anyway, that would be like comparing Toronto to Peterborough. Just wait until you get some some of the really remote places in Canada, where it's cheaper to fly *in* daily then it is to drive.
In North America we do generally have longer commutes than is typical in Europe. We also do tend to drive longer distances to visit family and friends, or for business trips, or just for sight seeing. We definitely drive more overall. But the idea that commuting 6 hours every day is in any way "normal"... that's just absurd.
You apparently haven't been living here for a while then. Otherwise you'd know that it's become a big enough problem that the Liberal Party of Ontario is trying to buy votes by pushing a high-speed rail line from Windsor, to London, to Toronto specifically for commuters. You're also forgetting all those lovely GO lines, where you can spend 2hrs one-way.
And when I see them on the news marching on cities, running down innocent women with cars, talking openly about ethnic cleansing on camps, I'll address them just as forthrightly.
You should have started a couple of years ago then. About the time that BLM started radicalizing and members started attacking police. And several years before that with them torching, smashing businesses at protests, and don't forget the most recent cast in Hamburg which looked more like a revolutionary war was going on.
That's true in most countries. The profit margin at most stations is pennies per/L, in Canada it's around 0.02-0.045/L. The US? Most stations make around 0.10-0.25/Gal. Thing is, here in Canada we have those charging stations in places like that and they don't draw people in. People simply leave their cars and fuck it up for everyone else. When it takes 30min-2hrs for a charge instead of 8mins for a fillup, you can already see the problems. In Ontario, if we had massive numbers of electric vehicles most small stations would need 40-100 bays to recharge. Distances are too large, the same in the US. Unlike Europe, people being on the road 5-6hrs for a commute is common all across north america.
An example: A person living in London, Ontario would spend 2.5-3hr/one way to commute to Toronto. It's cheaper to drive, then take the train or live in the surrounding communities(Brampton/Mississauga/etc where a starter home can be $1.4m+) in the GTA for most people, unless you're making a combined income over $150k/year. Even at that, you're going to find times where you're under that 60-day lose your job and lose your home. Even at that, you're probably considering finding a new place to live because you're being priced out of your own neighborhood. Another example, I was looking at house prices in Woodstock, Ontario. A house built in 1810, that is under 1600sqft(148sqm) with knob & tube wiring, galvanized pipes, maybe windows from the 1940's(single pane w/winter storm windows that have to be attached). Were running in the $340k range, the average income in Woodstock(and the county of Oxford) is around $43k/year.
These ideas are good in high-dense urban areas, anywhere else they fall flat on the realities of the world.
400v isn't dangerous though, it's the amperage that's behind the 400v that's dangerous. You can go and get hit with 10,000-50,000v right now pull the wire off a spark plug on any car, it'll hurt but it won't kill you even if it's grounded through you to the earth. Low amp, high voltage. But, you can kill yourself off the starter motor which can draw upwards of 300-900amps from that 12v battery. Haven't even started with home 1ph-120v, or 3ph-208v used in industry.
It takes an incredible mind, to turn around and have people in the company you operate go out of their way to violate HIPAA, then try to claim that it was perfectly okay to do it.
At this point, I'm pretty sure that FB has some serious problems and I wouldn't be surprised if Zuckerburg tries to flee the US sometime in the near future.
In half of those cases, they're also demanding that they be overturned because the judge should have recused themselves, or that information on the 302's was fabricated. Interesting thing, when you change evidence and break the chain - isn't it? In most countries we call that a "severe miscarriage of justice."
Slashdot Mirror
You mean partially supported right? And because the functions are limited, and non-supported in the drivers it still doesn't work properly.
You really are out of touch, dumbass.

So use vista, win 8 or win 10 is what you're saying.

Can already be done with epoxy heat bonding, Ford was famous for doing it with the transaxle computer.
