  • Interest rates are locked in as part of the terms of the lending contract, unless you're talking about adjustable rate mortgages, which I am not. You're factually wrong here, sorry.

  • So you're saying there's hope for the US...

    /s

  • That looks like a pile of hot dogs....

  • Ok, serious question: say that happens and we end up with $1000 for a sandwich type hyperinflation overnight shit. I'm assuming most financial institutions would be in ruins, but assuming they're not, what happens to people with debts? Like, they can't increase the amount you owe, so if you owed them $50k for a car loan, and suddenly $50k is the equivalent of a soda, would that make paying off pre inflation debts easier? I'm guessing there's a big caveat that in that situation most things would not be functioning normally at all anymore.

    Like, I'm not trying to be all "hurry up with the downfall of the US!" or anything like that. Just curious how this would play out for individuals. Is there possibly some silver lining for people with large medical debts, for example? Just wondering.

  • I know it has to do with copyright issues and having to defend them. If someone else is selling "your product", it enters a legal area most companies aren't comfortable with. This is why in the past some very successful mods have been given licenses from the company themselves that allow the mod team to operate as a sort of "independent contractor".

  • It's not referring to features, it's referring to the tendency for menu screens to become convoluted messes instead of simple and easy to read.

    Look at COD for a perfect example.

  • True, but the ones who don't sell tend to exist for longer. The ones that do sell ALWAYS go down.

  • Yeah I get the point. But it doesn't do anything about breaking those chemicals down or actually removing them. They just build up in the ocean instead. And then eventually you have rivers ON FIRE and you have to create the EPA.

    Technically, you could mix 100 "toxic" chemicals into a soup where each one is below its PPM and that would be considered "safe".

    It's like telling everyone they can only pee a little bit into the pool. Just a little bit won't hurt, right? But if everyone's doing it, eventually you have a pool of piss.

    And frankly, I don't trust humans for shit when it comes to long term impacts. We are short-sighted AS FUCK. There is no reason to believe dumping waste into the ocean isn't eventually going to fuck something up. Oh look, it happened in this very article!

    It's just retarded homeopathy nonsense to think dilution removes the chemical. It's still there. Just in our oceans now.

  • Yup. And then people point to those mods as proof you can charge for your mod and act Pikachu surprised when someone actually does something about it and your mod gets taken down.

  • That doesn't account for safety of other car. That's the safety of people IN the car and pedestrians. And again, you're doing things like put a tesla 3 in the "small car" category. Size? Sure. By weight? Hell no. You're not properly accounting for those factors.

    Force = Mass X Acceleration. A larger vehicle will always exert more force. Plow a Tesla 3 into a Civic and see who lives. It's literally why buses don't have seatbelts. The bus will always tank whatever hits it. All you're doing is building tanks and acting like that's somehow a safety improvement.

    It's not "EV vehicles are safer" like you're trying to paint it. It's "heavier vehicles are harder to damage". This isn't an EV issue. It's basic physics that you're trying to spin into pro-EV propaganda. By the same logic you should buy a F650.

  • Problem was he sold it. Can't profit off a mod because it's technically profiting off someone else's work. Not defending it, but it's well known in the modding scene that you don't do exactly that or this predicably happens.

    Basic rules are simple: don't announce you're working on it, just release it. Can't remove the files from the Internet once they're there. If you announce too early, you give them time to shut it down before release.

    And never, EVER, try to profit from it. You run into all kinds of issues, even just using the games name.

    This isn't legal advice so much as "if you want to mod and actually have it see the light of day, follow these guidelines or you're pretty much guaranteed to get screwed".

  • Yeah, for the same reason SUVs are "safer". They weigh a fuck ton more than the average car due to the batteries. Of course a tank is gonna do better in a crash against a small sedan. But what about vs pedestrians? What about the people in that sedan?

    This isn't "safer for everyone". This is "safer for me while disregarding everyone else".

  • "I'm more concerned about someone's language usage than actual issues". That's you, crying like a baby over a word. You sound like a retard.

  • And then the new word becomes taboo when someone misses that. It's the Euphemism Treadmill. Like first sentence of my post. But obviously you're too retarded to read that part. I don't play that bullshit game. It's... (wait for it)... RETARDED.

  • Liberal

  • So what happens if you let the elderly fall off that cliff? How will society look then? Oh, you don't have the answer? Is that because you don't have the data yet because the experiment hasn't concluded? What I've said all along?

    Moron.

  • The article in the post you brain dead moron

  • That's literally any device. Goes all the way back to things like people setting up routers and not changing the default password so anyone else can get in. That's just user error plain and simple.
