    cars: manual (stick) or auto

    I don't know, I'm of the opinion that the act of learning to change manually is something you have to load into muscle memory more than something you can do because you understand it. It is all just practice, no argument there, but the point I was trying to make is that practice for a car is not...

    cars: manual (stick) or auto

    Bikes and Cars really are not comparable, yes the vast majority of bikes are manual but they don't feel anything like a manual car to drive. I've seen people who have driven manuals for years fail miserably at riding because the layout is so different. In a car you can jump between any two...

    cars: manual (stick) or auto

    More likely due to the fact that our roads are a good deal narrower and more winding. There is a corner on one of the major roads near where I live that can only be passed one at a time by trucks due to its crazy gradient and angle. If you encounter a truck anywhere near that corner common...

    What's next for the Warhammer 40K games now that THQ is over and SEGA owns Relic?

    I always suggest this in these kind of threads but what I think the 40k videogame universe really needs is a Necomunda game. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TabletopGame/Necromunda?from=Main.Necromunda <- Weirdly Tvtropes has the best summary of this game I could find at short notice...

    Warp Drive Might Actually Be Possible

    I recall reading somewhere that they were estimating something in the region of 10c (Ten times the speed of light) unfortunately I can't remember exactly where I read this but I did work out that it would give you a one way trip to alpha centauri in something like 120 days (Again approximate...

    Artificial intelligence-why?

    Because machines can go places people simply can't, look at curiosity it has intelligence after a fashion, it made the decisions necessary to land itself after all. Given a 7 minute delay in data transfer at the speed of light we need things that can think for themselves and solve problems to go...

    A question for the male drinkers out there

    Its tricky, I would say generally drink as you like but you have to accept stick some stick for flouting social norms. I've tried and found enjoyable varieties of most kinds of drink, but I've found it's all about where you are and who you are with. Its also worth realizing that not all beer...

    Poll: Are the generation of kids getting worse and worse over time?

    I'm also a fan of this one: "I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly...

    strongly considering getting a MAC. help me.

    Why on earth wouldn't you want a MAC [http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Magnetic_Accelerator_Cannon]? He he he. Seriously though there isn't much I can add to what would likely dissolve into a flame war anywhere else on the internet that hasn't already been said. Save that in my experience as...

    Dating norms need to change

    Forget the "dating" scene and just hang out with your friends, I've never once been on a date like you have described, its always been: 1: Hang out with mutual friends. 2: Establish a bit of a connection 3: Start talking to them without the others being involved. 4: Tell them you find them...

    Warner Bros. Officially Greenlights Live-Action Akira

    I'm a relatively late in life convert from "I just don't get this anime stuff" to "Actually some of it is pretty dam good and better than the stuff on TV" (as such suggestions are welcome, preferably scifi action type stuff but I'm open to anything) and I only recently actually watched Akira...

    Mentally Ill Teenage Girl Dies From Suffocation During Exorcism

    I'm going to use this thread to share a quote about religion from a book I've recently read its quite long and doesn't entirely match my own opinions but I feel it merits sharing in a religious debate even if the subject is more about islamic terrorism. I'm of the opinion that religion as a...
