Just add water.

This combined with electric kettles being super popular outside of North America.

I originally thought it was a power thing, like 120v takes significantly longer to boil water than 240v, but North America does have higher amps so the power is roughly the same. Technology Connections has a couple of videos on this topic. Turns out it's more of a cultural thing.

Yeah, instant coffee is incredibly popular outside of North America.

It doesn't look like the FBW A380 is releasing in 2023 after all.

I do coffee.

I recently switched away from instant coffee to beans because i realized I have a french press and hammer that I can use. It costs around the same price as instant, but tastes much better. The flavour profile changes as well. Sometimes it's got a hint of apple wood, sometimes a hint of orange and sometimes a hint of axle grease. It depends what I used the hammer for the last time I used it.

Heinz Mayo Now Comes In A Black Garlic Flavour For Halloween

WWW.DELISH.COM

---

Mayo fans, gather up!

I don't recommend it. It's double the price of regular mayonnaise and is barely any different. Make your own black garlic mayonnaise if you want some. This one has a hint of garlic flavour but other than that, it's normal mayonnaise with a ton of food dye in.

They're not, I think it's the lighting. The lights I have are really cheap.

Tony Hawk Underground nostalgia 

I once met Tony Hawk. He didn't like it when I asked him if he makes any other games and if he skateboards in real life.

Me inches away from their bumper in a city car:

Hey guys i want to wish you all a happy Holidays. Discord is full of copypasted holiday messages, that people don't even read and just forward to other servers. I don't like that. I like to write what i deeply wish and what comes from my heart. Our friendships, from the most deep ones to the most virtual ones are very important and will never be represented by a simple message copied from elsewhere. This being said I would like to thank all of you. You are the best Volleyball team I've ever played with. Lots of love, Jerry.

stock or deleted, the world may never know

 

 

ok so maybe it's a little obvious outside the car but when idle and when driving I can't hear a difference 

Refueled my Alfa.

I used 34.91L in 283.35 miles. So that's 36.9 UK MPG, 30.7 US MPG, 7.66L/100km. That's really good considering I have to drive fast to make sure my car is reliable. Official MPG figures are 43.5 UK MPG, 36.2 US MPG, 6.49L/100km.

I also used the pump after someone with an RX8. He only put 7L in, so that's enough to get him from the pump to the road.

I don't have this game or an AMD GPU, but judging from what I've seen on both Reddit and the Forza forums before it gets deleted, this does seem to be a super common issue since the latest update with AMD GPUs specifically. AFAIK, no one has been able to find a fix for this. It seems you just have to wait until the next update and hope that fixes it.

Only 3 more sleeps until Christmas holibobs

I found a Ford Maverick today.

Fish and chips today

eg

Multiple people have unsuccessfully sued Rockstar for this, including Lindsay Lohan. This guy isn't going to win this lawsuit lmao

One bit of speculation (calling it a rumour gives it way too much credit) is that one of the reasons why GTA VI is taking so long to develop is because of GTA Online.

GTA Online is now a separate game to GTA V. The speculation that I heard say that the reason why it's taking so long to develop is because they're not just remaking the entire state of Florida/Leonida. They're also remaking Los Santos in the new engine and GTA Online is going to have both maps available to avoid a similar thing happening to GTA VI online like what happened with RDR2 Online.

I don't see this happening, but if it does, it's going to be very interesting for the future of GTA Online.

Curious what makes you think it will get delayed? It easily could get delayed but since it's Rockstar they probably don't have much pressure to rush development. They've had soooo long to work on this, I'd like to think they will have had plenty of time by the target release window. 

History. All previous Rockstar games get announced with a trailer that has a vague release date that's just a year. A few months later, trailer 2 comes out, then between trailer 2 and 3, they announce there's a delay then there's a more specific release date in trailer 3 that's a month and year, than a few weeks after trailer 3 releases, they release the gameplay trailer along with a release date that has the day, month and year. The final release date is almost always 1 year after the initial announcement.

Only exception is GTA VI, but that ran like ass on all platforms and still does. I get better performance in RDR2 than I do in GTA IV. The GTA IV trailers looked like they were running at 15-20fps with huge drops into the single digits at some points.

Well, those rumours of them ditching the staggered release date turned out to be false which is unfortunate. This is a good excuse for me to sell my PS4 Pro and pick up a PS5 at some point. I was originally going to buy a PS5 for GT7 when that released, but they were still impossible to find from a retailer and there was no way I was going to pay a scalper more than double the RRP for one on eBay.

A delayed PC release is also good news for me personally. I think my 2070 is really going to struggle with GTA VI when it does release. I don't really want to spend close to £2K on a 4090Ti only to find out that's not going to be able to max it out at 4K 60fps.

As far as the release goes, T2 said they're expecting a huge increase in revenue for their 2024 fiscal year, which ends in April 2025. So it seems like the release date target is March-April 2025, but I do think that's going to get delayed to late 2025-early 2026 with a PC release towards the end of 2027.

To be fair, that was GTA V 1.0 on PS3, wasn't it?

 

It's crazy that the same game was released for three generations of consoles and the PC version even had some creators making HQ texture packs for it not too long ago. It's been around for so long that I'm not even sure anymore whether I had the 980 Ti or 1080 Ti when I played it.

It was, but compare how bad that trailer 1 screenshot looks compared to the final release

Yeah, I heard it got leaked and R* just said "ah hell" and released the full quality version early.

That's near enough exactly what they said.

Reminder of how bad GTA V looked in trailer 1.
