The popular DC / Marvel ones certainly do

It's where the best pizzas are raised, free range and natural as god intended. The pizza wranglers are the most talented in the world, after all you have to be something special to be able to lasso a pizza when it's at full gallop!

A long time ago in a galaxy far away (before the internet was a normal thing to have) I provided over-the-phone support for a large and complex piece of software.

So, people would call up and you had to describe how they could do the thing they needed to do, and if that failed they would have to wait a few days until you went to the site to sort it in person.

The software we supported was not on the approved list for the company I worked for, so you couldn't use it within the building where the phones were being answered.

Parents literally walked in on her mid-murder, but yeah maybe she was just pretending to kill it? For a joke?

Except that a lot of early and grass-roots rap railed against those things, but that wasn't what got large scale commercial backing in the long run

Detroit: Become Human.

The demo gives you one level, playing as an android helper to the police, helping to solve a murder.

The full game really took me through the looking glass in terms of empathy. Can't really say more without significant spoilers.

They assume all windows users only have one hand free at all times

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that they invite you because they think they can "straighten you out", the garbage they believe is that all kids are straight and cis and it's down to brainwashing by the deep state Jewish space lasers that anyone would think otherwise.

For your own sake, best to stay away.

As a woman with a high hairline, I embraced having nice hats ... seriously, I love my hats and there's no reason dudes can't as well :-)

I also rock lots of headscarves, but that's a bit more gendered :-/

Wow, that's a let down ... I guess they were going for a contemporary look?

Yeah, I'm a volunteer firefighter in Catalonia, we only really do maintenance work or fill up gopher roles and damping down in the event of a serious fire ... proper firefighting is in no way fun, people need to be paid for it (and you can't just drag anyone in off the street to do it, lots of my fellow volunteers can't hold a hose for long and would panic in an emergency ... that's not a criticism, it's just how people are)

At their core, however, the classic superheroes work to maintain the status quo and support the existing power structures of when they're written.

At no point did Superman or Captain America stop American forces from invading a foreign country for example, or overthrow a medical insurance company.

She's like the Donald Trump of politicians?

Well, more meat-like substances. They're meat adjacent, just within a normal human budget.

I have this sort of thing all the time here in Spain, though with shit/sheet.

There's plenty going the other way too, of course. At least I don't mistake miedo and mierda these days ...

The Marvellous Mrs Maisel.

Managed to be funny and heartfelt all the way through, with a well written conclusion. Anything that doesn't wrap up properly just sinks any enjoyment for me, but this show left me feeling satisfied.

Yeah, nah, Ducatis are like the carbon road bikes of the motorcycle world - all about dick waving. A little while back one of the larger YouTube channels took the latest Ducati to a track and put it up against a cheap 7 year old Suzuki, and the Suzuki was still faster ... and if you buy a Japanese sport bike it's not going to have the mechanical problems of a Ducati either.

Source: I have owned, ridden, repaired and raced a lot of motorbikes, including some fast-ish ones.

Thank you for your service o7

The same way that depends is the answer, yet Donald Trump is still incontinent.

Hows the humidity when it gets that hot?

I've done low humidity 45° days/38° nights and it was pretty toasty, but 35° with high humidity kicks my arse. The last couple of weeks here in Catalunya we've had 30-35° with high humidity and I'm just exhausted.

Walkable city means taking a bike. Got it.

However Nissan do have R&D and manufacturing facilities in the UK, so the law would affect them directly ... also, outside the EU has anyone else proposed a set date to end ICE car sales?

The poster above me here is absolutely right, she shouldn't be forced to use the wrong pronouns. It might make her uncomfortable.

Grandmaster Flash, De La Soul, and Public Enemy would be good examples of rap that was politically and socially progressive, I'm sure a bit of digging would give a long list

Nah, they'll just get started on the next FF game

If they added a 3rd person camera option I'd be all over this game!

People, on a large scale, will never do that. That's not in human nature, and thinking everyone will willingly stop driving and buying meat is just the least productive kind of dreaming.

Those​ in charge will never change either, unless forced.

Like day 2 roadkill in the summer, right?

Learn how to do bicycle maintenance and find a good second hand bike that needs a little love.

I have a Giant hard tail that was €1200 new, but I got it used for about €100. Serviced the brakes, put on a new chain, cleaned/oiled/greased everything mechanical and it's like a new bike.

I'm very curious about your experiences of having problems with ICE cars after 7 years ... I've never owned a car that's less than 10 years old, and have rarely had problems with them.

It's morbidly fascinating reading how rich people see the world ...

Oh I agree with that completely, only babies wet their knickers at the first sign of properly gendering others.

Yes ... but that was before I volunteered!

If I had to call you something, it would be "embarrassingly thoughtless to others".

Well, that's a ... win?

Thanks to the Internet Archive I played the original Streetfighter 2 and Outrun arcade games, I'm sure Gauntlet and Bubble Bobble are on there too ;-)

It was for government owned computers, they didn't want any pirated or virus-infected stuff, and at that point there was no way to lock down such a mish-mash of systems.

The software company (who also do things like run prisons these days) had given permission for us to run the software and given a set of fake data so we could go through the motions when talking people through things, but apparently that wasn't enough to get it on the list.

Superbike championships use road bikes with a change of fairings and upgrades to things like exhaust, brakes, and suspension.

Hell, Isle Of Man TT lightweight class has used stuff like the ER6f as a base which is a budget commuter bike, lol

A halo model super sport is basically a street legal race bike.

I was gonna say, my Mum's starting to get a bit like this but she's 86 so it's not a surprise ... 57? Hard yikes.

I guess they wouldn't, but I wouldn't list most of that as being particularly arduous. I got my current car super cheap because it needed the head gasket, I changed it and it's yet to have any other real problem.

I guess I don't see cars as fungible, hell if I'd had my way I'd still be driving my first car which was 35 years old when I got it (and you can now get off-the-shelf electric conversions for them these days)
