Edge cases in this scare the hell out of me. I'm envisioning watching CCTV of every Tesla that follows a specific route on a specific day merrily driving off the same cliff until it's noticed.

I mean what would have happened here if another Tesla or two were directly behind Huang, following his car's lead?!

Possibly nothing, I'd assume the stopping distance would be observed and the following cars would be able to stop/avoid, but I wouldn't like to bet either way. Perhaps, in some conditions, the sudden impact on the lead car would cause the second car to lose track of the rear end of the first? Would it then accelerate into it?

Two litres strikes me as truly exceptional.

That's ~6 can-sized coffees a day.

Split that into 3 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon and it doesn't seem "truly exceptional" to me. Perhaps a tad overindulgent, but I could hit a handful of people with a bread roll from where I'm sitting who would qualify.

Ah I didn't notice that the image could be expanded into much higher res. Still, I'd expect an image of an individual insect for clarity.

Surprised that the article doesn't have a single photo of a cochineal...

I mean the title is 'The insect that painted Europe red'. You'd think they could show it once.

Years ago System Shock 2 had a demo which was basically just the introduction to the story, and the new Prey recently was similar. Both lead to me purchasing the full game almost instantly after completing the demo.

Also, in addition to streamers and youtube, I find the 2 hour playtime window for which Steam will refund unquestioningly, helps alleviate the stress of making a bad purchase. Provided the game is available on Steam, of course!

That would be great...

Assuming it would work both ways, I would consolidate, on Steam, all the games I currently have on Origin, Bethesda Launcher, Battle.Net Launcher, Epic Games Launcher, uPlay, Twitch Desktop App, a few I've forgotten, and whateverthefuck Rockstar's GTAV launcher is called.. Though that's probably not what you had in mind.

The parent didn't miss a thing. WoW does all of those things, and plenty more.

For a very incomplete example, you have sentry style mobs which run to activate an alarm and "bring help". You have mobs which run in fear and aggro any additional ones they path too near to.

I'm fairly certain all they meant to communicate was that Indians in India have different types of Indian culture to Indians in Britain, and that they weren't trying to reduce all of India to a singular culture.
