Just design roads properly and not just throw a bunch of poorly visible hazards in the middle of a wide and straight street.

if you cant spot a speed bump you should have your license taken away

Yeah, those Fresno ones even have the standard reflective paint chevrons. Anyone who gets got by those would have happily mowed down a child. It's a goddamn residential street, not a highway.

Ideally the street would be designed such that people naturally go a reasonable speed, but once the street is built and lined with houses that ship has kinda sailed.

This is why you have to buy the 500hp truck. Wont even notice when you speed over a bump or a child.

I went karting for the first time last year and it was a fun way to find out I have mild claustrophobia as soon as that helmet got on my head. So I'm cruising along very slowly having what I believe is the first panic attack of my life while people zip past me and I'm getting jostled as I take leisurely turns just hoping this is over soon.

Fuckin ruled, would do it again.

In 343 Industries' Halo Infinite, how much longer do you think you will have to wait for split-screen and local co-op to be added, a promise made since 2017?

Hint: As of Septermber 1st, the answer is the name of the game.

My friend's mother lives on a street with those big speed bumps and when he's in town and I'm over there for dinner or whatever you'll hear cars bottoming out on them because they were going too fast. *KACHUNK* Always good for a giggle.

This may have been posted in the past, but I just stumbled on a YT channel on which a homeowner on a street with very aggressive speed bumps posts footage of people finding out that Fresno doesn't gently caress around about speed limits.

Look at the respect that drivers who have already learned the lesson give the bumps.

Split screen co op has been a stsple of the series since the first, but I wonder how ubiquitous it is now that online play is much more common. I wonder if there is still a market for splitscreen co op these days. I guess I'm the wrong person to ask, last Halo I played was Reach and I don't remember doing any split screen.

Reach is the last one I played specifically because there's no couch co-op anymore. I suspect us Olds with friends and such are a fairly poo poo demographic, since last time I had a buddy from college over, we just played Reach again.

This. I only really play a lot of games with my buddies if they are couch co-op. Otherwise I'll break out a board game or we'll do an RPG.

I bet it's more common than you'd expect. We're sort of primed to anticipate a punch being thrown; even a decent boxer probably telegraphs a bit and our lizard-brain instict to seeing the shoulder drop a bit is to jerk backwards. If you're in too close for punches and you just throw your forehead into their nose, it's certainly gonna be discombobulating.

E: Thought you were going to post the Zidane headbutt.

We had one of these when I was in high school, you could hold the dispenser flap closed and it would think that it hadn't dispensed a bottle, and refund your money, then you could stop holding the flap closed and get your bottle for free.

They ended up patching that machine after a while so it didn't refund you anymore.
