Now here's a guy who can really break down what ruins a broadcast crew.


Let's see ESPN get a reservation at Dorsia now!


Buy an old Dodge W250 with a 12-valve Cummins 6BT, and enjoy mechanical fuel injection and 160 hp. No emissions control, no timing chain or belt, no overhead cams, no aluminum block or heads, ABS is optional, no airbags.


And with that 15MPG fuel economy you get to give your maintenance savings to the gas station instead while you drive a slow uncomfortable car.


There are far more government social programs than unenployment benefits and stimulus checks.


GMO implies a lab process with specific alteration of genes, while traditional plant breeding to traits only exposes phenotypes as indication of results, and relies on the pre-existing variance in species to provide new traits.


I'm guessing the hole it originally sat in is still visible?


Not if the soil is being farmed. Plowing, cultivation, etc. will fill in any small hole.


"Don't worry, the AI says the bridge is okay. We've got fresh filler and paint over all the recognizable cracks!"


"Sorry about the broken skyscraper, a few workers through Mechanical Turk tagged polystyrene as indestructible"


We wrote “strong” on the bridge and now the AI thinks it’s indestructible


But Doom Eternal wasn't developed from the original Doom engine, same with the new Flight Simulator.


The new Flight Simulator is an upgraded version of the engine that dates back to at least 1990s, if not earlier, and traces of the fact are obvious. Legacy aerodynamics simulation from Flight Simulator X (2006) is included and fully functional. Air traffic control system introduced in Flight Simulator 2002 is also there with minor changes throughout the years. Even some artwork is 20+ years old, such as "737-400_scenery_t1.bmp" texture map[1] for a fictional 737-400 that came with Flight Simulator 2000[2]. I guess they forgot to remove it, or left it for backwards compatibility reasons.

The closest that's actively used is Wabtec's FLXdrive, which is a battery-powered locomotive run between two conventional diesel-electrics. Not a bad idea, since braking with the electric motors otherwise dumps the energy as waste heat. There's also the Railpower Green Goat, which is diesel-electric with a storage battery.
