This HAS to be satire

Streets are intended for stops. Homes, driveways, shops. Low speed. Walkable.

Roads are intended for travel. There should be very few turnoffs, no surprise entrances, etc. Roads are intended to get you onto streets. Generally medium to high speeds.

Stroads combine the worst of both to make death traps, accidents, and make walking difficult, uncomfortable, or impossible.

Charges reduced for police officer who secretly taped colleagues’ racist remarks

Reply in thread

passing laws into just that

When cops violate the law the prosecutor on that case is still the same local prosecutor that needs the cops to cooperate to make all her other cases. We don't have a federal department running very easy undercover operations where they test the police behavior during stops and arrests. Police unions are the only unions that republicans actually support.

There is very low hanging fruit that we've never fixed.

Creators of Slay the Spire will migrate their next game to a new engine if Unity doesn't completely revert their changes

Reply in thread

Because changing the engine in an existing project is a huge pita that requires many, many hours and possibly in some cases a full rewrite.

This also applies to games that would be released in 2023 or 2024.

Nobody should be considering Unity for a new project, but it's understandable to make either decision for many existing projects.

Ripping out the engine of your game isn't a trivial thing.

Prediction vs Reality

I expect climate change to be consistently worse than the mainstream predictions.

There's a huge political incentive to err on the side of downplaying than to exaggerate, and those models should have been bad enough to make the point.
