Nice work! Here is my quick brain dump:

  • trumpets for an announcement
  • horses riding
  • goblins cackling
  • force field / magic sizzling

By the way, isn't the light-dark switch inverted?

Looking at all the responses here, it is a quite successful troll post.

Automotive developers successfully switched from barely-knowing-C to barely-knowing-C++. Surely, they will be equally successful in switching to barely-knowing-Rust.

If you pressure people into early retirement, it isn’t a layoff. winkwink

Orcs in Tolkien’s work were rather a stand in for German soldiers since he fought them in WW1. Gygax simply sourced monsters from everywhere. Only later they became elevated to sentient beings and a playable race… uh… species now (D&D 2024).

I'd say "character vs character" is fine as long as as the "players" are both fine.

Oh, it seems I misunderstood you. I took it as a general statement outside of the context of a drivetrain conversion.

I would not say "very little you can actually do". For example, the death rate from road injuries has gone down steadily over the last 40 years (and probably even longer).

I assume you mean the "AVs". I adapted it to "autonomous vehicle tech". Literally it would just be "autonomous vehicles" but I don't think that conveys the correct meaning.

Level 3 from Mercedes is more expensive though.

Other level 2 systems do not allow you to take your hands off and will probably annoy you with some kind of warnings. Wasn’t it Tesla where you could squeeze an orange into the wheel to trick the system?

Anyways, I agree with you that this isn’t worth the price.

Hm, I didn't get a paywall.

This seems to be an alternative by CNN.

Am I the only one irritated by the title? Why is it „Biden administration“ and not „The US“?
