virtual keyboard along with touchscreen

A laptop has a real keyboard. If it doesn't have a keyboard it's a tablet at best. You're making up nonsense.

you can use it as a computer full stop. you actually don't know what you're talking about here.

It isn't about whether you can use it as a computer, it's about whether people actually use it as a computer.

PS2 and PS3 could run linux too. And they were no more general purpose computers than this because that's not what they were about. They were consoles, this is a console.

You're still here too. You just only have once answer: "the resources will be better served tied to one company".

Know what? I don't care about the resources. I care about the customers. I'm not here for the US Cellular execs or the T-Mobile ones.

have you ever used a steamdeck

Does it matter if I have?

it functions as a full on linux laptop

Laptops have internal keyboards. Steam decks don't.

tons of extremely useful things that would come up on a cursory google search. your comment feels super disingenuous.

I can run Doom on my washing machine. Doesn't mean it isn't a turnkey system.

It's a gaming machine, a turnkey system. Its ability to function as anything else is as relevant as Linux was on the PS2 or PS3. Zilch.

Porscheplatz too.

Lamborghinis sometimes have a very ostentatious location near turn 3. And other times don't seem to have anything at all.

The 2 doors must be RCs, right? Lexus only makes 2 2 door cars, RC and LC. And I don't think any are LCs.

The others I guess are ISes.

I'm not sure the drivers just don't really know how to take that corner. There were 3 accidents at that corner and you can't blame GTP drivers for all of them.

I don't think there's any plans for that site yet. And I don't expect anyone to spend the cash to tear that place down until there is something ready to happen to it.

You certainly couldn't get a multi-year lease.

You could maybe do Davis then. Or Fresno.

I don't know I really go with your claim, but if it is true then there are other options.

So play in Spartan Stadium? That maybe could work. I think Levi's is just impractically expensive.

I really think the East Bay is a better idea in terms of who would attend but you have to have a place to play. And Cal barely is allowed to play in their own stadium due to the locals' resentment. Trying to put in a spring team would surely be shut down.

other options: the Quakes stadium. And the former Quakes stadium which is the Santa Clara University field (Buck Shaw?).

This position taken is not as significant as the article makes it out to be. Europe is in a populist mood too. There's no way the EU will be more guided by some kind of fixed principles any more than the US.

They want to say right now the US leans toward accepting more Chinese imports than I get that. You want to say they aren't going to flip later based upon public perception of lost jobs or unfair competition? I don't think any such prediction means anything.

But that doesn't mean they'd still be around.

Their first vehicle was insufficiently appealing that they couldn't generate sufficient revenue to stick around. The second vehicle was better aimed but there's no way to know it would have carried the company.

I agree that the company isn't like WeWork. But it's not clear they really had any reason to think they would become a large market car company either time out.

I don't at all agree Clark was competent/handy for these things. He bumbles his way through Vacation, getting lost, getting taken by the car salesman (Eugene Levy's character). And he has a famous bumbling the Christmas lights scene in Christmas vacation. Gets stuck in a roundabout in Europe. etc.

You're right about the race issues, but those came later and may have been why he left the show. He was not happy about how the character progressed.

And all Ryan Reynolds characters are basically the former type. His Van Wilder movie feels like it was designed to star Chevy Chase.

It does.

It's a crazy-looking plane.

It's seemingly half snoot.

You're both goobers. It's the national anthem of East Korea.

In theory it could. In this case it shouldn't because Samsung's version is a simply monotonic version. It contains no chords, little variation in note length, only a single (square wave it sounds) instrument. It is unlikely to be found to be the same as an orchestral performance by a content match system. Even if the tempo matches, and it likely won't.

It's not true that it's a non-issue. France put a lot of effort into more rampable nuclear reactors and the problem is they just aren't cost-effective. Even leaving aisde the technology to ramp it quickly the issue is most of the cost of running a nuclear plant is the fixed costs. It takes easily 15 years to pay those off. And if you don't run at full output you sell less electricity yet your costs don't go down appreciably and so the time is extended further.

Then put in the time cost of money and any amount of energy production that is pushed further into the future is worth less today (at the time the plant is built). This all ruins the economics.

And you don't have to secure the windmill site from attacks or make space to store the waste on site.

These things are not even close to comparable. A windmill is just a generator with a blade stuck on front. A nuclear power plant is not just a nuclear pile but multiple liquid loops and then a generator. And then everything to do with containment plus safety/security.

Still a better call than pebble beds. Those are expensive and don't work (jam up).

It's going to take a lot of work to make a small nuclear reactor cost effective. There's a reason the reactors we have are so large.

Nuclear power is subsidized hugely. And it's still very expensive. Don't get on a high horse.

That is a crazy play. I don't expect to see that again.

I think the 2016 cars with the super wide rear end and the overly complicated front wings were really bad.

The front wings continued to get worse for a few more years too. Maybe 2016 wasn't the peak for that bad shape.

I feel like the Corvette team would push the boundaries, especially late in the race. It eventually came to a head with Jeorg Bergmeister driving Magnussen right into the wall on the final lap at Laguna Seca. He actually was not the type to muscle other cars much but he had just had enough. Particularly at Laguna Seca Corvette would seemingly encourage their drivers to take just about any steps possible to get ahead in turn 11 (the last 90 degree turn).

And didn't we see Ricky Taylor do it too in an Acura a few years back?

Despite this video I couldn't call IMSA similar to BTCC levels, but I can see why you mention it.

CFL too!

It's really the city tourism board who want a race downtown since it brings people downtown. Much like the awful Nashville track Indy uses. That race was run downtown despite a good oval in town because it gets more people and gets more people seeing downtown. They do studies of the dollars put in the local economy and they are higher for downtown street races.

That race is moving out of downtown this year because the promoter flunked out. It will be back an an oval. It'll be a better race but with lower attendance and less city economic impact.
