Formula 1 races average about 200kph, with a top speed of 375. These are the best of the best professionally trained drivers in multimillion dollar equipment tailored to them and designed to keep them (and others) safe at those speeds.

300km/h on the highway is essentially suicide by stupidity, not to mention manslaughter for whoever you hit. You are travelling fast enough that you literally don't have time to react to something several hundred metres in front of you.

150 is really fast, 200 is stupid fast, and 300 is really fucking stupid fast.

Baby steps... We didn't shoot for the moon on our first launch.

There's dice?

Wow I have no idea how this game works.

I've just recently settled after a nomadic period, I spent almost 12 months on the road, using just my phone for the majority of the time. I ran a cloud server for all my hosted apps, movies, budget, cloud storage and such. Configuring that was a bit of a pain but with the right tools not too bad.

I did go to an internet cafe once, I had a lot of text entry/editing to do. Surprisingly hard to find.

I was staying with family for a bit without much to do, so I picked up an SSD and installed an OS on that. Got me some good idling time.

Somewhat related, I've got so much rollover data from my phone plan that now I'm settled, I've just been hotspotting from my phone for home internet.

This template was going around a lot of instances, then when it got moderated out of existence, shifted to direct messages.

My understanding is that cookies were generally just used as a fingerprint- it's just a unique ID that is used to tie your device to their database, which is where the information is kept.

Unleash nuclear hellfire onto few thousand innocent Japanese and then be smug about it for generations.

You don't necessarily need to get two straight away, though. If you've been a couple times and used the hire shoes, sweet. You're getting into it, you reckon you'll probably keep going, time to buy some shoes. I'd actually advise against it. Climbing shoe rubber varies from soft to really bloody soft, and you dragging it all over the wall wears it through really quick.

So I'd suggest spending quite a few sessions in those hire shoes, really focusing on your footwork. When you can confidently stick your feet first go while climbing, and not have to adjust your feet constantly, you're ready for your own shoes. Shred someone else's until you are confident you can make yours last.

I understand you are trying to simplify things, and I appreciate that we, a hobbyists, need to do this to open up the field to more people. Accessibility is a great thing, but we do need to make sure that potential Roemann examples are prevented from establishing themselves in the governors ethos. There's a whole lot to VX, and if people are using j-discs and their induction coefficient inverts due to misalignment of the rotorcore (or, god forbid, any of the main encapsulated rails), they're going to have a bad time. Simple is good, but paradoxically, you need to have a thorough understanding of the more complex parts of this hobby before you can simplify it. The hunchback that taught me went through seventeen flange coupling cycles before they were even allowed to touch the resonance spectroscopy imaging chamber, even at the low end of hypersonic capture waves. To this day, they are still cautious when trying to simplify the pressure transducer startup sequence- and they're using the more modern Reeistack implementation. Safety first, people. Understand what you're messing with, because stray glycemic bonded couplings will absolutely kill you.
