Are there any non-VTOL jets that can actually take off from a carrier without any assistance ? I thought they were either catapulted or the runway had to be sloped upwards (and possibly longer than 500m iirc)
If crash tests results were the main reasons for people to buy these shitty pavement princesses, Volvo would have buried the rest of the industry decades ago.
It’s definitely inflated but I’d say the real number has to be at the very least within 10% of that estimate (probably a lot more, but I’ve seen some AAA games at a 90% discount in the past) which is still in the billions of dollars, which is still kind of nuts
I think a big part of that is that it’s exactly as shitty as you’d expect everytime. That’s some impressive consistency for a beverage that is sold worldwide, and in huge quantities
Got roped back into Tarkov because of the PvE mode. (I got the EoD edition on sale a while ago)
American nationalists
Name themselves after a famous French historical figure
I get that your country barely has a history (/s), but come on !
Tbh it was 100% a move to avoid pissing off the fans by only announcing Starfield
As a “gamer” and game developer, this is sound advice.
They are very precise, cover the whole french territory, are all in the same format, follow the same standards and the paper maps are not too expensive. There are topographical maps at a 1:25000 scale, and roadmaps at a 1:250000 scale. And these paper maps are as sturdy as they can be, my dad has been rocking some of them for almost his entire life.
I guess I just get too excited about state funded institutions that provide good service to the public and still exist in 2024. Them paper maps can really be a lifesaver when you’re hiking in the more remote parts of France though
Also IGN (Institut géographique national) maps are amazing

The brake pedal in the first picture is more than twice as wide as the accelerator, and it’s only about ~50% wider in the second picture
Yeah, it’s not “emergency brake” levels of slam (where you would indeed slam on both pedals), but it usually gets pressed a lot faster and harder than how you’d press on the braking pedal when braking normally.
Basically, monkey brain expects the left foot to meet with a pedal and will absolutely settle for the brake pedal if not reasoned with. I’ve done it a few times myself.
Because there is no inherent benefit to easing the clutch “in”. At least that’s the reason they gave me when I was learning how to drive, and my mechanic doesn’t seem to disagree. Basically, you want to disengage the transmission from the engine as soon as possible (especially when you’re doing that to benefit from the engine brake), change your gear, then gently ease the clutch “out”
You slam on the clutch to change gears. And you get used to changing gears while decelerating to use the engine brake as much as possible
It’s up to Turkey. But according to international treaties they can absolutely forbid them from leaving, iirc
I felt like I had already missed that chopper until I met my current gf earlier that year
Same here. Dope music though
