The fact is that Iran has been a thorn in the wests arse for a long time. There isnt a lot of sympathy there for a country we have heard a lot of "death to the west" and other general "nuke Israel" rhetoric from since the 1980s. Especially with more than a few arab immigrants to Australia being Iranian and having left because of who is in power.

The general sentiment IMO is that while The USA are doing their usual international meddling and we are fucking sick of Trumps bullshit, Irans leadership certainly did the international politics equivalent of saying "Go on hit me!" to the schoolyard bully for long enough that nobody really cares that the bully finally snotted him. There have been lots of protests about Israel/Palestine there has been very few about Iran in a country where there is a significant number of people from middle eastern origins, I think thats pretty telling.

Without getting too foodie about it. Its blandness is its strength, it adds moisture and a creamy texture to foods, especially salads sandwiches and tacos without using unnecessary oil or animal fats and it counts as a fruit/vegetable in your diet.

In all seriousness, good reversing cameras and parking sensors.

The last honest to god thing that just made cars better.

Theres always someone who does the math for me and I appreciate you.

I was thinking "90,000 tons is a LOT, But swiming pools are also a massive volume and nuclear material is very dense... hmmmm"

Because America already doesnt give a fuck about dead kids. Sandy Hook proved that.

This one doesnt rate for me.

You can throw a loosely packed snowball in a fun way and you can throw a compressed af snowball with intent to cause harm.

Show me the video because without evidence this could be anywhere from "stupid cop with stupid hurt feefees" to "Bruh you nailed a cop with a 88mph fastball for funsies, the fuck did you think was gonna happen?"

RFK made pregnant women (you know, famously rational and not emotionally driven at all) afraid of one of the safest medications going and for what? You cant blame pregnant women for thinking "What if this is the time he is right?" when deciding not to out up with a slight headache could put their babies long term development potentially at risk.

In all honesty single player GT7 is pretty much a training ground and sandbox for going online for real races. Which is fine if thats what you're there for but would probably piss you off if you werent.

Money does become a limiting factor once you start trying to complete the car collection menus or make sure you always have the meta car for the daily races.

Ok yeah I feel you, I do miss that to a degree.

Some of the single player is still pretty challenging until you figure out how to cheese the AI. Running race hard tyres and a super lean fuel map so that I'm 2 seconds a lap slower than the fastest car but dont have to take 45 seconds to pit in a 10 lap race.

As a member of the insulative layer of management between the floor and the corporate asshats I have to speak the language.

This translates to "Get the most no nonsense worker from every department up here, lets compare what they think we can do in a perfect world vs reality and have a look at what we can do to make the numbers look like what our bosses bosses boss wants to see, without cutting anyones hours or working any harder."

The non PP limited races are a joke, IMO those should have the payout linked to the PP of the car. You take a 450 into a 550 race, double payout. Take a 650 in, half payout. Also maybe dont call it PP because it makes talking about it sound like a dick joke.

IMO if you turn the difficulty up to hard and turn all the drivers aids off its plenty challenging for people new to sim racing, I see how veterans might find it a bit simple.

Gran Turismo 7 was the worst offender I've had in a long time. It was very pretty and very well put together but it just wasnt fun.

But a few years later and a YT rabbit hole or two and I decided to give it a go on a very basic simrig setup and... yep, theres the fun.
