But it does sound like a good idea. I used to have this Chinese teacher who lived near my place and he would drive a car to our school. The thing is that the school is just a 5-10 mins (slow) walk from our flats. In fact, by driving on the road he was taking a large detour. There had been a few occasions when I took a ride on his car and I distinctly remember that the car would barely get cold by the time it reaches the school.
That was probably one of the most pointless waste of petrol. On the other hand, by driving the short distance he was able to conveniently bring our homework home to mark at his leisure.
This new CityCar will greatly benefit people like him, but not him specifically since he's no longer teaching there.
Older people should also like this, especially those with walking difficulties. If this gets popular, maybe lifts will eventually be able to accommodate them, allowing users to park outside their gates on their floor. Old people will definitely like this then. Lazy people too. Fuck walking.
Parking isn't an issue even on lift lobbies since it's really a 4-bar linkage. It's something I used to study about in Mech Engineering but anyone can see what that term means. In case it's not as obvious as I thought, it means it's made of 4 bars linked at each end to form a quadrilateral.
In the case of a crash, it shouldn't be that dangerous despite it's foldable structure. With a max speed of 50km/h, or 13.9m/s, an average guy at 70kg stopped suddenly would feel an impact of 973N, or roughly 99kg, spread over his whole body assuming he's not wearing his safety belt.
Might be lethal to old people and their brittle bones, but if the average guy is able to accidentally crash into stuff while driving at 50km/h, he definitely deserves the injuries.
Excluding COE, this car is supposedly going to be priced at around 18k USD. Nothing is mentioned about maintenance and durability though. Hard to judge if it's actually cheap and if it's actually worth getting since you can't just drive it anywhere.
I never knew China's counterfeit goods sell so well around the world that they even have wholesalers who don't sell to tourists. And there's even industry lingo too, like the "5-As" and "double A" grades. How good is 5A? So perfect that even experts have difficulty telling the difference? And how big is the difference between 5A and AA?
Speaking of counterfeit goods, check out this counterfeit game that's so blatantly ripping off WoW that I just had to try it.
As if that wasn't enough, here's the race option menu:
They didn't even bother to change the names of the races and factions and places.
Not exactly the same.The game lags horribly so I left the game within the hour. The servers are probably not even in China. Mongolia maybe.
I'm stunned. Fruit Dealer got pwned by the fake BoxeR in the Ro32, even though apparently he didn't suck at all in Blizzcon. 2:0 so Fruit Dealer didn't even manage to win a single round against him. Fake BoxeR sucked for his entire match in Ro64; nobody expected him to win here.
He was supposed to be a piece of cake for a Fruit Dealer! WTF?
Fruit Dealer even managed to do some really epic Baneling drops and those didn't save the game for him.
This is so unbelievable, he didn't even end the game until he lost everything. He was probably just staring at the screen when the last of his army died.
Good thing the real BoxeR also won his match and better still, he's playing against Loner in the Ro16 on the 29th. Loner is the best SC2 player from China, so that's a big deal.
Fallout: New Vegas is really much easier with the DLCs that people get when they buy from certain stores, like the Caravan pack when they buy from Steam. Made a huge difference with those guns that come in good condition because it takes more ammo to do the same amount of damage with a gun that's close to breaking.
No wonder I never seemed to have enough ammo in the beginning in my first run until I entered the Strip.
Probably also helped that I'm focusing on the Gun skill this time. Even managed to have 2k caps before I reached Novac.
Speaking of Novac, I just realised that this is how the town got its name:
