Least concerning Renault engine

That is almost 3 times the highway speed limit and roughly 83 m/s if I got the math right. At that speed the car will travel 40m on average before you even press the brake pedal, then the average car will take probably about 1s (which I think is conservatively low) of emergency braking to stop (or almost), traveling another 83m.

Well, FWIW, my sister who was 1 or two levels above me in skiing, managed to actually break a ski, without even doing anything particularly bold. When you say you are an expert skier they do tend to make the bindings pretty damn "hard" iirc.

Now, skis poles ? I think most of them are hollow and bend when you look at them wrong

Skin oils alone will corrode various metals over years. Also, lots of touching will basically erode it, hence the "polished" look on the statue's entire cleavage

I've tried that. It does, but the worst part is being terrified that the skis are gonna break or a pole is going to bend the whole time

It becomes effectively, from an emotional standpoint, like their child.

It's the same with code. It involves more basic logic than art but it's still creative work imo. Hell, there's even artistic forms of coding.

They (save for a smarter minority) are 100% gonna decide that pesticides are more important. Until they learn they aren't, but it will be too late.

Care might not have been the right word. I care about my code too, but we know our work belongs to the company so we don't get too attached. The thing that hurts the most with these layoffs is stopping working with the people (or entire teams) you had a good work relationship with, and, of course, suddenly being out of work.

I can tell you that no professional (non indie) gamedev cares about that. We know damn well we have no rights over the stuff we make for our overlords.

Never bothered with the microwave. Damn thing will be 257 minutes out of sync by the end of the week somehow

Unfortunately I think only the foreign legion would have been likely to fire back here, and I don't think they they do much peacekeeping.

Makes a lot more sense with knives. It can actually hide them from your opponent fairly effectively, and you can still stab with that grip since the blade isn't too long for that.
