42 minute long video on dishwashers is a hard sell, life is too short to spend that much time on this

edit: a friend sent it to me after posting this and sure enough, I ended up watching nearly the whole thing lmao

quietly eats words in the corner

I don't have any thoughtful, critical analysis to add here, just wanted to say I too found V/H/S Halloween to be super boring and formulaic. I was really looking forward to it and it was disappointed, as I enjoyed most of the other movies in the series.

Look into DeltaChat

Literally nothing in this quote makes any sense. It's 100% bullshit FUD that these sketchy VPN companies use to convince non-technical people to use them, like virus scanners back in the day.

The original AC was good for (imho) it's road feel and huge quantity of user content like tracks, cars, and mods (SRP and LA Canyons are great.) The overall product itself was really amateurishly produced IMHO (eg. shitty launcher) and inconsistently polished, although everybody looked past that because the in-car experience was better than anything else at the time and the mods make AC a blank canvas. Whatever you wanted to get out of AC, you could do with mods, and there's no other racing game with that flexibility. That's why everybody loves it.

The broader physics in AC never really did it for me, as a Dirt Rally fan. BeamNG is at the cutting edge of physics and playability, and going back to AC physics from BeamNG is pretty tough. That said, I am super excited there's a new rally game and will definitely pick this up if it's half decent. With a little love, I'm sure they could do a make their physics model feel decent for rally. I hope they have some decent damage modelling because AC's poor damage modelling made even tiny impacts totally unphysical (imho).

(I haven't tried AC Evo or AC Competizione though so it's possible the physics model has been improved... can anyone chime in on that?)

Most of their products were just not that good, or just didn't hold up to modern standards. For this faux meat category, it feels like they were competitive before 2020, but since then, there are way better products from other brands with less processed, better ingredients like Big Mountain Foods, and Yves stuff just doesn't even come close to them IMHO.

The upside here is that a lot of precious shelf space in the vegan meat/cheese section is going to open up for these other Canadian brands to fill. Here's hoping that it gets filled with better quality products from Canadian companies.

That's a terrible way to do it because you and me and 99.999% of the population are not qualified to make the decision about that and understand the very difficult but ethical rationale behind it.

Thanks for confirming you're arguing in bad faith.

How is that fear unfounded when a politician can snap their fingers and target your research with this populist bullshit? There already is a process to ensure this research is justified. We shouldn't allow political interference in science. It sets a horrible precedent and opens the door for worse. Ford's actions undermine public trust in science, which is terrible (look south of the border).
