Tasers are effectively handheld torture devices. Put them in the hands of cops and it's not surprising they'd be used that way.

That's just how good you are.

Sounds like you were playing the wrong game for you. But then no reviews would have described it as being like Mirror's Edge so maybe you should have checked before you bought it.

I think you could take this experience as inspiration to make the game you wanted to play. It sounds like there's an opportunity there - Mirror's Edge with cats might be popular.

Sadly, none had working buses

In a future where the traffic is so awful that cars are pointless, buses are also pointless because they also get stuck in the traffic.

It seems like the sequel was doomed anyway - the videos I saw seemed directionless and didn't capture the charm of the original at all.

All the rubbish they quote about collaboration is based on no real evidence either, or at best "studies" by corporate linked institutes with an agenda.

They make up all sorts of reasons why they want us back in the office but the reality is pretty obvious - it's simply not necessary for many employees to be in the office at all.

It's a genuine biosecurity risk in Australia. Australia (and NZ) are very susceptible to pathogens from outside so this kind of thing is taken very seriously in both countries.

Cars should be taxed proportional to the fourth power of their kerb weight, in line with the road wear they cause.

They recently passed a law which said you could install picture hooks "within reason" without being penalised by your landlord. Prior to that if you installed a picture hook you'd likely be charged for the cost of re-plastering the wall when you left. Although they wouldn't actually re-plaster it, they'd just charge you as if they had and then the next renter would have a picture hook so lucky them.

But major mods like installing a TV mount are totally out unless you can negotiate it with the landlord somehow. If you did it without permission it's grounds for eviction and a loss of your bond.

Pretty much none allow it in my country.

You could do something like this velomobile at under 350kg (750lb).

Which makes the Range Rover about 40x the road wear of the Citroen C3.

True but tyre pollution and road wear are still huge issues.

In other news only 40.01% of Australians care about US politics.

If you knew about Poland's political situation you'd want to run too.

Buses are better than cars but they're still the worst form of public transport. They pollute like cars. They're dangerous like cars. And they move as slowly as the traffic, like cars.

Scientists are trained to never state certainties because nothing is 100% certain. But then scientists also know how to back up their statements with modelling and technical statements of probability, which never get reported.

Well it's not really a gun game. So not guns.

If you go into this game for the gun combat you're probably playing the wrong game.

Companies that adapt to remote work will have access to better workers who can afford to be choosey about jobs. And since remote workers concentrate better and work longer hours they're even more productive.

Companies which force workers to come into the office will languish and become less profitable and they won't even know why.
