    Interesting, all the school buses in my country were just outfitted with backup cameras that blend into the central mirror. Pretty cool, and especially helpful in my area where there's a ton of ice, and we use reverse twice a day.

    I just read an article about a man named Shelby Mustang GT500 who was arrested for driving without a liscense...

    Oregon wasn't the only state for that, New Jersey actually had that law as well, but also was challenged.
    Also, I find it interesting that plenty of New York names stand out the most, because of how one-note it is, besides NYC.
    Speaking of Oregon...

    Interesting that this is in Eugene, but in another college, the Ducks, is in Autzen Stadium, which happens to be in Eugene as well. I mean, it's not the same sport, but I find it coincidental that they are college teams in the same city.

    I don't know what happened, but I was saving changes to a text file on my SD card when suddenly the folder somehow got messed up and now it won't let me in, saying that "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." The folder has information in it that I need to keep, and i don't know how to get it back. I looked up how to uncorrupt it, but none of the info I found was helpful.

    This never happened with my USB drives, so I'm convinced that the blame is on the SD card.

    DJMedic uploaded a video introducing his new built inspired by his playing of Spintires, a King Kong RC CA10. I want one. I hereby declare that this is the next RC I am buying.

    I think the worst part about having a sudden bout of food allergies is how paranoid it makes you, especially if the allergy meds trash your gut and make you sensitive to other things you weren't before. You go from living a normal life to being afraid of everything you eat and freaking out over every itch. There's even been at least one false alarm where I went back on allergy meds that I didn't need because I thought I was seeing an allergic rash on my legs... when it was most likely just the skin getting irritated from my pantlegs rubbing up against it all day. Just no fun at all.

    (Also I should probably get off my lazy butt and do more laundry instead of just wearing Dickies on my days off)

    So I was taking some plugs apart to clean them and noticed some of them have threaded inserts in the cap rather than self tapper, I like.

    I'd like to see if this would work in any of the styles interpreted in the video. I'm a big fan of the Disturbed style.

    Oh great, browser decided to force update, despite I have set it to never check for updates, but as it happens, I had forgot to turn off updater service after last manual update and they forced this new update.

    Problem being, that update kills support for older addons, which means browser would be whole naked to internet without my security customizations and addons, no way to install new addons either as it is completely new kind of addon system now, might not be even possible to make such addons that I have running.

    This constant updating and changing is getting ridiculous, now I spent nearly two hours for rebuilding what update broke down. New seems always be a downgrade these days, UI or functionality suffers.

    Ok, 57 FF based browser are surely fast, but it is not much fun when they allow everything in, so you need only one bad script or ad and can spend long time fixing what comes from that.

    Good thing I have lynx for windows, it works.

    I just remembered I have a BeamNG.drive install (probably 0.9, last update was in August) on my laptop, which means I can do performance statistics because they weren't broken in 0.9! Guess I'll be hoping it didn't update since then, but it shouldn't, it's been sitting in my closet dead for months.

    Just don't launch steam, run from the folder and it should not update.

    I guess performance statistics were broken also in 0.8?

    It has also different tires I guess, so not sure if statistics would still be working, but I have 0.8 stored in another folder, just so that I can be sentimental sometime in a future.

    Have they nerfed the AI in Forza 7 or am I magically way better somehow? I haven't played since around Christmas and I could swear it's easier despite the lack of practise. Before, I could win consistently on Expert, Pro was a serious challenge, and on Unbeatable they just walked away from me. Now I have it on Unbeatable and the AI is right on par with my skill level.

    Maybe it might be a bug, I sometimes have a glitch where I put an amount of drivers and guess what? IT'S JUST ME? Then, when I check the settings, it automatically sets itself to 0. I'm not sure if it's just my copy of the game, or others as well.
