Because it is accessing petabytes of world data. In the old days, you'd store the world on your PC and they had relatively insane storage requirement. Now it's just too much. The current MSFS has 300GB of content, but you can download areas of world data on your hard drive to cut down on streaming data in areas you go to often. So a lot people have a 500GB+ drive just for MSFS. This new one is supposed to require much less space.

I don't need math for this. Once you have a feel for your car you can just visually gauge it in an instant.

I just leave enough room to come to a stop in the gap between us.

What?! Ha ha, what is cheating in an online comment? Things aren't "supposed to"ing like you want so its cheating? Cheating means breaking rules. Are saying adhering to some kind of rules or regulations would make our conversations more productive?

Aw, that's cute, a drummer thinks he's a musician too? (I kid, that's a running joke in music circles, percussionists are definitely musicians, we'd be lost without them). That's awesome! I suppose expert drumming in Rock Band would be a lot like the real thing. A program like rock band would probably work as a great drum trainer on a real set.

That's great! These things are super fun. Just don't call yourself an artist or try to copyright your generations. That's like pretending to be a musician because you're good at Guitar Hero.

No one has ever dealt with people before, it's certainly not something everyone does every day, you are the only one. You clearly have an advantage over every one else. And businesses work exactly like wet wood, it's a flawless analogy.

I wasted so much time speaking with politicians, learning about economics, sociology, law, civics, and history, and all I needed to do was have experiences with people and I'd be a political genius too. I mean here I am, almost 40 years old, having spent my entire working career and off time dealing with people, but that doesn't count. None of it counts but yours.

When I look around now vs years ago and see how deregulation is the cause of for almost all of our modern woes, I am left to agree with you, the solution must be even more delegation. Unmitigated greed by earth's most ruthless people has always heralded a golden age of universal prosperity. Just look at the industrial revolution and the 20s. Children working and dying in factories and mines again is a sign of good things, but society can only succeed if we can sell these kids hard, addictive drugs without legal interference.

Edit: Libertarians aren't hated, they are laughed at. Its the ultimate indicator your political opinions are nonsense, just like your comments in defense of it have demonstrated. It's entirely based on what you think should happen, not was does happen. The advantage of living among people is the strength and prosperity that comes from cooperation and pooled resources. But that's not the opinion the rich people who would enslave you paid good money for you to have.

Inb4 "fool blocked" as a response to your cognitive dissonance.

It turns your face into a bagpipe!

"I'm libertarian" followed by an assumption like businesses are "supposed to" do anything except make money and bump their stock prices by any means necessary. Yep, checks out.

Businesses are horribly inefficient due to their short term thinking. Efficiency is a marshmallow test. Doing things right in hopes of making $150 tomorrow will always be tossed out in favout of a garunteed $100 right now, doing it fast and dirty. The idea that businesses are naturally incentivized to do x because of market forces is bullshit if x is anything other than whatever makes the most money right now.

They send our natural resources to the other side of the world so slaves can turn them into goods that they ship right back to us. Efficiency is an expense that businesses are often incentivized to avoid when doing it wrong is cheaper.

If you want businesses to do anything but chase short term profits as ruthlessly as they can get away with, you need regulations.

Both are the same. You are what you put put into the world, the actual measurable effect of your existence, not the intentions in your heart that affect nothing.

But if they were made in USA the pages would be in the wrong order and the corners wouldn't be square. The Chinese ones are at least usable for the 8 months they last before falling apart.

It's no Franzl Lang, but it'd pass the time.

That is too much fish food!
