A lot of people (myself included) are disappointed with what is happening to Twitter and will use any inappropriate opportunity to ridicule Musk, even it if is only tangentially related to the subject at hand.

Nope, Elon offered Erdoğan the new Totalitarian Dictator Bundle for only $5M a month and he was turned down. /s

“But Trump and Bolsanaro have already subscribed and they aren’t even in power any more”

And before integrated GPUs or even discrete low-powered GPUs the User Interface was rendered using the CPU itself (software rendering). This was a long time ago, back in the old days of text interface in CGA and simple 2D sprites. (1980s)

Some names are cultural or ethnic slurs in our global society. I think that Egg in a Hole is a great name that everyone can use.

It literally humped it’s way up the hill, just like a caterpillar.

You could also assay that he contributed to being in a car on the road at the time. The proportion of contribution from not having visible brake lights (only park lamps), when the entire column of cars in front of him had brake lights was negligible, compared with speeding in the wet and not paying attention.

My brother was driving a crappy old Vectra as a work car. Driving home one night in heavy rain and heavy traffic, there were a lot of cars that had veered off the road and were filling up the roadside ditch. The traffic was at a standstill.

He stopped about 2 metres behind the car in front and since it didn’t look like it was going anywhere soon, put the car in park and put the handbrake on.

The Probationary driver was looking at all the cars in the ditch and didn’t realise that the traffic had stopped. She hit the Vectra so hard that the boot lid was level with the rear window. The seatbelt pretensioner went off when my brother hit the car in front, she he had accelerated to over 40km/h in the 2 metres. We did the maths later on and she must have been driving at over 100km/h to transfer that much momentum (in an 80 zone, in the rain, approaching an intersection that always had traffic backed up).

Because the Vectra was an old shitbox, the non-working radio fell out, onto the passenger floor and started working again, tuned into a Country & Western station. My brother had whiplash and couldn’t move. When the Paramedics arrived, the first thing he asked them to do was turn off the radio.

In the end, because the car in front and the Probationary driver had the same insurance company, they claimed that all damage to the vehicle in front was my brothers fault for not allowing a large enough gap. They also claimed that since my brother had the park brake on and transmission in Park, he contributed to her not stopping because she didn’t see his brake lights. Because it was a work car with corporate insurance, his employer didn’t fight it and made him pay the excess.
