  1. I would say cost, imagine the R&D of the part itselft, but the cost of it in maintenance to the final user. I believe citroen had electromagnetic shocks in the 90's and it didn't catch much momentum but if you see the videos of it working, its exactly like you said, smooth as heck drive throwgh bumps.
  2. Damn, i did the exact same...
  3. In the sense of getting grip when braking
  4. Do it. The war effort depends on it!
  5. Don't ruin it for the rest of us!
  6. I believe I read somewhere that they changed this a few months ago, along the lines of promoting new content or something. For me, I've been 100% uninterested so far.
  7. I knew I had this info from some place, and it was the MythBusters episode! Thanks for the reminder. I always put the lid down because of that episode but was unable to remember it. It just became natural
  8. So, are people like animals that start going feral when they see someone in a way better status than they are? If that's the case, and this article suggests there is psychological evidence to support it, it poses a serious problem for the whole society. Are we really going to assign a maximum value to people's wealth?
  9. Being caught is the problem. If there's a 100% chance of getting caught, like grabbing the box while the owner is right there talking to a police officer, that deters this kind of crime
  10. It was something called the Peacemaker
  11. In the joke world they will, along with the lost of all current knowldge of what the 3D boat is
  12. I don't think even the most well-intentioned state have the incentives to properly allocate resources in the market. Usually, when state-owned industries fail, the taxpayer suffers, so the administration has little to no incentive to actually do good in the long run.
  13. Sorry, Nu metal. It was more in the sense of the hippie movement falling out of mainstream for good around the 00's, at least on my view of the world, of course
  14. In the same way, Woodstock '99 broke all that was left of the mainstream hippie movement, giving rise to the new metal one
  15. Kinda, but this is also how the free market dies—happens little by little. A change here, a law there that helps the people, oops, now the law makes it harder for competition to get in, and so on and so forth.
  16. Why not? Ibelieve in the contrary!
  17. The paradox of rights(don't quote me, i just made this up). In wealthier societies, demands for greater worker rights from the government increase. This can lead to more bureaucracy and higher labor costs, potentially making third-world countries with lower regulations more attractive for importing goods or outsourcing production. Countries already operates in a libertarian interaction with each others. I find these global economics aspects fascinating
  18. Every 100 years, the government send a warning and carpet bomb a city to the ground. This for sure would remove all the past vicious of the region affected. That would be something
  19. Because they build a reputation of good quality plastic pieces that fit very snug together for, like they said, generations. New type os plastic seens to not be like that and the final product was not really good. If its really true or not, i don't know, but that was their justification.
  20. Never knew this, shit's hilarious, imagine having a political ad inside a singleplayer game!
  21. > it's another to be old and dying and watching someone who was born a century before you gifted with youth and vitality.

    So, no one can have nicers things than me?

  22. And there is a lot of this sentiment around, specially with young people
  23. They fly a official plane and bring a lot of people with it. There was a plan to replace the place, but for the time it got backlashed so hard they put the idea aside, for now at least.
  24. The "Research" mode should be the default, the other UI is too damn convoluted, i am not playing a game
  25. Look what brazilian politicians do and you will be shocked how this train endevour is so tamed it would not even be news around here. The brazilian president spend R$773 millions this year on travelling alone ($157.6 millions in US dollars)
  26. Do you think rich people should be responsable for others or they have the freedom to get rich and do nothing?
  27. If you think capitalism like whe have today, using the government as regulation platforms, sure. If you think capitalism as a system where you free to pursue your capital, not so sure its sustainable to keep a monopoly.
  28. Same. It is kinda sad it becoming a more stupid tool by the day, losing its value
