It’d actually be pretty easy to contrast Chinese infra projects against collapsing American bridges, but I guess wojaks saying unattributed quotes unrelated to civil engineering will do?

7·3 months agoCats, like mongooses, have faster reflexes than snakes because of warm blood and arseholery genes. The whole story is pretty weirdly written as I though that was pretty common knowledge by now.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Has there ever been a game whose name was intentionally suffixed with "2" despite no original game? lol

Gaming@beehaw.org•There Is No Reason To Buy Another PlayStation Or Xbox
7·3 months agoI already lost interest when the only generational improvement was to push 4k, a display technology that mostly makes things worse by necessitating dubious upscaling algorithms and sacrifices framerate for clarity you can only see by sitting on the floor.

14·3 months agoUh, games on DVD can’t be deleted or taken away from you (though actually they could by a firmware update). Not sure what he meant by that.
Tell that to the farmhouse in the middle of the M62.
It’s very much not just tips either.
My hair was incredibly silky before that though - like a Timotei advert.
