Why cancel Freelancer 2, Microsoft? Why?

This is what a software developer would call a con-action error.

Wouldn't you have about the same reaction time as if the truck was braking tho? I mean, the momentum will carry the log in the direction the truck was going until it dissipates, which is kinda the same as braking.

I mean, that situation would obviously be dangerous because you don't wanna stop on a freeway for obvious reasons, but still, if you adhered to common safety rules, you should be okay in that situation, no?

I have enough trust towards brake technology that I assume your car can stop faster than a log. I ass-pulled that assumption tho.

Nazism is fascism, corporations and the wealthy LOVE fascism because that means they get more power and less regulation. Remember what Benito Mussolini, the founding father of modern fascism and all around shitbag, said about it:

Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.

It will be a slap on the wrist with a "please do not make it so obvious again".

In some cases this is called stalking and is illegal.

and pass those “savings” on to the consumers.

More likely that they pocket those savings for extra profit and the prices stay the same.

At first I thought it was blown out of proportion, too. After watching the video, I can only say that if he did that in Germany, he would have been arrested on stage. Let's see what topic-relatedly, profoundly knowledgeable Benito Mussolini, allegedly, had to say:

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power."

Ah, ok, thanks Benito! Enjoy your fascism that you voted for, America. I hope those egg prices will go down (they won't).

Your body retains water through the kidneys. Antidiuretic hormone (or vasopressin) is what tells your kidneys to hold onto water instead of discarding it into the bladder. Which is why you feel parched after a night out drinking, ethanol hinders the production of ADH. Multiply that by 25 and you have the poor dude.

A guy I studied with had a gene defect that prevented his body from producing proper amounts of antidiuretic hormone. He had to literally set his alarm at night to wake up to hydrate.
