My car is over 20 years old and cost well below the average used car price in North America. I'm not rich, just a car enthusiast.
But I keep an open mind. What other things can I do to help the environment?
least their use case is part of their employment, and not part of their entirely optional entertainment.
And if they're driving to an entertainment event, like say a concert, a vacation, or a park, is that any better than me going for a drive for the sake of going for a pleasure cruise of equal distance? Keep in mind that my sports car is no gas guzzler. It gets the same fuel economy as an average, mid-sized sedan, and better than an average SUV or truck which dominate our roads.
I'm happy to spend my carbon budget on an occasional Sunday cruise with the top down on a sunny afternoon, rather than overseas holidays, excessive consumption, etc. I don't commute by car, I ride my bike as much as possible, and I advocate for improved public transit infrastructure in my community, which all have a far greater impact than my ~460 kg/year of CO2 from my joyrides.
Isn't the more significant problem that the 98% of motorists who don't give a rat's ass about the driving experience, are effectively forced to drive when they could be taking alternative transport, if the infrastructure supported it?
Please, for the love of God, quadruple the carbon tax and invest it all in public transit, so that cars are treated like the luxury they should be.
Au contraire, my Fuck Cars fellow. A sports car's agile handling and peppy acceleration are enjoyable even at street legal speeds. They are of course most enjoyable when driven nearer to the limits at a track, but most stock "sports cars" require some modifications to be reliably driven under such intense conditions.
Interesting, so it allows DirectX to use the same shaders as Vulkan? But isn't the advantage of Vulkan that it has less overhead than DirectX? Does this mean anything for gamers, or does it just make the graphics programmers' jobs easier when they can use the same shaders for either renderer?

You can't just hang out in the opponent's end and wait for someone to pass you the puck. The puck needs to be carried in, or dumped in and then chased after it crosses the line.
I get honked at, cut off, yelled at and/or threatened about once per week.
Is there a Plex like service for hosting my own DRM free software repo?
Should've never sold, and Industry Canada should have never let the deal go through.
Missing all of the winter Olympic torches, right? This seems to be summer Olympics only.
The Olympic torch relay is actually less than 100 years old, starting in (Nazi) Berlin in 1936. Wikipedia
