National emissions should be approached per capita. It'd be silly to expect that Luxembourg and France should have the same total emissions

Going by the Forbes article's numbers on adult human water consumption, 6.6 billion m^3 would be pretty damn close to the entire human population's water needs. 2.6 litres per adult per day is 0.949 m^3 over a year, so multiplying that by a world population of 8.2 billion people (I know that's adults and children but I'm approximating for scale here) is 7.7 billion m^3 of fresh water

Absolutely phenomenal headline and it's not even an exaggeration

Honestly I don't think dropping them is a particular loss. I use them in work writing and then in more casual writing if I happen to be using the keyboard I use for that work since I have a key binding for it, but that's all. The distinction of dash length (or of dashes from hyphens) doesn’t bring anything useful to our writing in my opinion

Reddit seems to be a substantial source if the many bits of questionable advice that google famously offered are any indication

But no irony here—I actually wrote it myself.

I see that em dash I know what you're doing

I would love to see a screenshot of this creation if you have one

That's good to hear! I'm looking forward ot trying it. I used to love mountain biking when I was younger and I was reeeaaasonably good at it, but I've had enough sports injuries in my life so that's at the wayside by now

Sim is my preference, but I'm not against an arcade if it's doing something interesting

Ooooh, this is a fascinating combination. I had no idea it was a possibility. I already have BeamNG too so I'm halfway there

You didn't miss out on much with Fusion. I enjoyed the post-Fusion games on the PSP a lot though

Thanks for all the information on BNG!

It definitely was slow compared to BNG. The later games picked up the pace a bit, but never to that extent. The focus was more on trying to race cleanly with very slidey and floaty physics. In the original particularly, touching the walls at all would immediately bring you to a complete halt
