For online racing, ACC and iRacing are unmatched.
I contracted the iRacing sickness this year. The online is indeed unmatched but I’d argue the single player racing is also best in class.
The iRacing AI is actually fun to race against and nothing else comes close to the level of customization per-racer. You can build whole custom rosters with individual behaviors. If you’re so inclined you can even share all this stuff through communities like Trading Paints and Race Department.
iRacing is a hole with no bottom. Both time-wise and monetarily. Even to do AI-only you’re still paying the subscription and one-time content prices. It really is the best though.
There’s also Night-Runners which is very much influenced by the TXR/Shutoko Battle games. It’s an in-development crowd funded game, so take from that what you will, but there’s a demo up on Steam as Night-Runners Prologue.
I just assumed some global megacorp had finally managed to get “Cornhole” through the trademark office and started suing everyone into oblivion. Must be time for an internet break to rebalance the pessimism.
It is a pretty impressive demonstration of the error correction built into QR codes.
Thank you! I was wracking my brain trying to complete the Simpsons quote that reminded me of. It was driving me crazy all morning.
He sure managed to verbally vomit his way past talking about how he had that border bill killed. Very clear question, he talked right past it, and it was just left dead.
My first bike was a similar vintage GS500 that I similarly bought cheap and poured a lot of time and sweat into. I eventually upgraded to a new bike that actually worked the first time every time without me constantly tinkering. 😅 I loved that little Suzuki though and learned a ton on and inside it.
Sounds like a great time! Have fun and stay safe!
Here’s a link to the 2024 platform. It does not include the quoted line from the 2020 platform document, or any other reference to “death penalty”.

The Hidden is a surprisingly good old sci-fi/thriller from 1987 starring Kyle MacLachlan. I had never heard of it but it came up on the Nextlander Watchcast and I’m glad it did!
Tried it. Now I’m stopped bumper to bumper with the guy who cut me off to cram his truck into the buffer I left. What’s the next step?
Second this. A friend and I just finished up a full co-op main game + DLC run and it was a blast!
Some things scientists should just keep to themselves 😡
I have never seen Blues Brothers and, to my knowledge, have never seen this clip. Somehow I still knew almost immediately that this must be from Blues Brothers.
Cultural osmosis is crazy y’all.

I think you mean lucky bastard. It was never funny.
Also my collection of hobbies seems to match up well with the people who nuked their post history after the API-ocalypse. Even when I get good search results I click through and… so many deleted comments…
The inhouse tooling from the massive tech companies is very cool but I always wonder how that impacts transferrable skills. I work in a much smaller shop but intentionally make tech decisions that will give our engineers a highly transferrable skill set. If someone wants to leave it should be easy to bring their knowledge to bear elsewhere.
Then maybe it shouldn’t be done at all.
