I've seen the stereotype of Altima owners being bad/dangerous drivers around the internet a few times, and I'm curious as to how it developed... The Altima always struck me as a pretty typical mid-size sedan, so I'm not sure what about it would attract a higher proportion of bad drivers over other similar vehicles, or why people would zero in on bad Altima drivers over anyone else.
Since I've learned of the stereotype, I have periodically noticed Altima drivers doing stupid things, but I also see a lot of Altimas and a lot of dumb drivers in general, so I haven't been able to tell if the incidence of bad drivers in Altimas is higher than the norm.
Yeah, pretty much. It was originally geared towards evangelical Christians, and while it was critical of Trump at first, it eventually turned fash around 2020 or so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Babylon_Bee
Javascript's type coercion is rather insane, yes, but there is an actual, practical reason it's done. JS, having been designed to be run in web browsers, wants to avoid blowing up and crashing at all costs. If it gets an unusual type comparison, usually the result of a bug, it tries to return something, such that the script can continue running if at all possible. In JS' mentality, keeping a page running, even if it might not completely function properly, is preferable to throwing an unhandled exception and completely crashing it.
Whether or not that is the right approach is debatable, but there is at least some logic to it. Personally, I think that the proliferation of Node letting JS run outside of browsers exacerbates a lot of JS' issues, but TypeScript does a lot to make it look like a more sensible language.
I like how RealD looks well enough, but the glasses tended to give me a mild headache after a while. I've been able to wear VR headsets without much issue in the handful of times I've been able to try them, so maybe that would work better, but I don't think I've actually worn one for multiple hours at a time, so who knows.
The thing that I think a lot of people forget about the first Avatar is that it was pretty much the first big blockbuster to be available with those RealD 3D glasses. I distinctly remember wanting to go see it so I could check out RealD and find out if it lived up to the hype.
Of course, it had the James Cameron name recognition, so it was probably going to be pretty successful regardless, but I don't know if it would have been quite so record-shattering if it weren’t for the novelty of RealD, combined with the higher ticket price of 3D showings.
The longer dems can keep the Epstein issue in the public consciousness, the better. If it slips from the news cycle for too long, the average voter will forget about it, and at that point the whole thing will be moot. It doesn't matter if they actually succeed, the longer they can draw this out, the more damage it will deal.
They didn't seem to fill quite the same role as modern generals, as we usually saw them leading troops into battle directly rather than overseeing large strategic battle groups or delegating orders to subordinates, but even in the films, the Jedi were directly referred to as generals during the Clone Wars.
Went into the article assuming they meant "Python class" in the sense of "an educational course on Python," and was quite confused by the assertion that some of their readers may want to consider not learning about Python...
Every now and then I see something from the Babylon Bee when they're not being expressly political, and it makes me think they could be maybe a halfway okayish humor site if they weren't so grossly hateful and bigoted most of the time...
If Trump doesn't know about it, how do they do the blood on the ear? Not even elite marksmen can reliably hit someone's ear at that distance without risking actually hitting their head. If it were fake blood, Trump would have to be in on it.
And again, the shooter being right-wing almost entirely negated the propaganda advantage the GOP could gain from it, it doesn't make sense for it to have been staged.
Let's leave the conspiracy theories to the far-right lunatics, please. The attempt killed an innocent bystander and the shooter was a right-winger. Even if they were cynical enough to stage the first part on purpose (and honestly, I wouldn't put it past them), the shooter being one of their own completely undermines the entire point of staging something like that to begin with.
Besides, this administration is way too incompetent to keep a secret. With the way Trump has been blundering his way through the Epstein accusations, do you really think he could keep his mouth shut about staging an assassination attempt?
I love the gameplay of Dead Rising, but the time limits and save point restrictions really do not mesh well with how I want to play it. The game has the perfect setup to be a sandbox where you could just fuck around with finding silly ways to kill zombies, but the time limits - even if they are as generous as people say - just give me constant anxiety and I can't really relax and screw around with it like I'd want to.
So... how do they plan to sell this idea to companies that require their employees to sign into their corporate VPNs when they're on the job?
