  • The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brookes is a detailed fictional instruction manual. It's sequel is World War Z which is closer to a normal book, but still has an odd structure of creating a world through interviews ... and the The Zombie Survival Guide book exists within it.

  • 6% of car drivers are cold blood animal killers, 89% of which are SUV drivers

    Jump

  • Erm, I guess this is one of those cases where words don't translate well between variants of English ... I hardly ever see "station wagons" (estate cars?) here, whereas there's lots of cool lifted hatchbacks around like the Fiat Panda 4x4

  • Well, anything that has the name Ducati attached is automatically priced to put off the plebs

  • Fantastic, the closest one can get to a modern TY ... I've got a cousin of it, a Sherco 250, though I guess both were made before the companies merged.

    Did you not get the light kit with the bike? Having a trials bike be road legal is handy here

  • yum

  • I put food can into my cooking.

  • Ah, I get you ... yes that's a fair point. In Europe we don't have so many SUVs

  • It's saying most of those who don't care about animals on the road drive SUVs, not that most SUV drivers don't care about animals.

  • What is an obscure piece of media or videogame that you think nobody else here has heard of?

    Jump

  • OK, I'll go all-in on this:

    2000 AD Comics' Nexus, The computer game.

    Made for the Commodore C128 computer (which oddly ran Microsoft Basic), it was a simple single-screen platform shooter with the twist that you could pile up the bodies of your enemies and use them as platforms.

  • With models, for me it's not about immersion but rather some fascination with having little versions of real things ... I don't know why, and I especially don't understand why making models of anything is 99.9% a men's hobby :-/

  • Please high-five your three year old for me

  • 1-bit CPU for ‘super low-performance computer’ launched – sells out promptly

    Jump

  • What is this a computer for ants? It should be at least ... four times bigger.

  • Rule simulator

    Jump

  • That sort of thing, but with little trucks, diggers, forklifts, and tractors all by radio control ... I guess I never understood the appeal of train sets whereas driving a little truck around looks like fun

  • Rule simulator

    Jump

  • If you want to check out something related, wierd, and interesting check out German radio controlled truck conventions ... lots of people go together and drive their RC stuff in a sensible realistic manner. I find it adorable.

  • Put the fish down.

  • That's what we call an attention getter!

  • Political discussions on the internet.

  • I'm in this comment and I don't like it.

  • Human being can be oddly obsessive. In other news, I wish American Truck Simulator was available for PS4 :-/

  • Merger Rule

    Jump

  • Which then becomes Buy and Large, for branding purposes.

    Jump

  • Can't speak for other games, but there's a LOT of former truck drivers who play Snow Runner.

    Back when I was working as a forklift driver, when I broke my leg and was stuck at home on the sofa I really enjoyed driving the forklift around in GTA5 and just moving palettes​ around.

  • That's absolutely crazy, here even a main dealer wouldn't charge more than 30€ for fitting (not counting weirdness with pressure sensors, mooses, tubeliss, or stuff like that). Well, maybe Ducati would charge more, but they have a reputation to uphold.
