from the tankette article: "Some models were not equipped with turrets (and together with the tracked mobility, this is often seen as defining the concept), or just a very simple turret that was traversed by hand or leg."

So no split screen required.

It's very cool, but not relevant to the one driver split attention required when you have an independently targetable

turret weapon without an AI, so you can steer in one direction and shoot in another (while doing trajectory calculations in your head/vehicle computer).

BTW, does War Thunder have auto lock on like so many console games have today? (because that would explain how people can drive and aim in different directions at the same time).

It's all about the point of view.

 

I personally feel like no politician is ever going to be able to represent the will of the people, and popular people are only slightly less removed from the general public's representation. The sooner we make political bribery (lobbying) illegal, the better for everyone except the already filthy rich.

Hey we agree about something

Meh. We got rid of Pork in the 90s and Partisanship shot through the roof. Senators had no need to go across the aisle, it became a zero-sum-game - you don't need a Democrat and a Republican senator, you just need two Republican or two Democratic senators, thus it became a race for total control.

 

I think getting rid of Citizens United would be a good step, but outright removing lobbying or revolving door stuff just means the money will be directed to private groups, paramilitary groups, associated groups. The masses can be swayed by targeted campaign, we already see this in advertising as in the Soda 'Cap' in NYC or McDonalds Hot Coffee Case. Now imagine the lobby money going into efforts to sway the masses, radicalise them, gather them for support.

 

These things just have a way of snaking out and about. Got rid of the Spoils System and Patronage, we get Pork and Lobbying. Got rid of the Pork, we get extreme partianship. Get rid of the lobbying, mass radicalization and stirring's probably gonna follow.

I don't get what you're saying, how can companies like google, comcast, mcdonalds etc.. cause radicalization and psuedo military groups to arise? The only extreme case I can think of is the NRA and that's happening regardless of lobbying (or even more so - because of it).

NO!

Can we get a list of Ross' consoles. It would be a shame to suggest something he can't play.

I thought he was exclusive PC, but I could be wrong.

Thankfully, the storm has indeed long since passed, and the town's electricity has been restored since Wednesday.  Good stuff.  There are two "developing" weather bits in the tropics that won't be threats to my area, but they can still go burn in Hurricane Hell. 

 

I'm hoping the Game Dungeon has never been wracked by hurricanes...

I don't know, how prevalent are tornadoes in Poland?
