The alternative is forcing them to go through puberty against their will and causing changes to their body that will require expensive, time-consuming, and painful treatment, if the trans individual decides they don't like those changes.

They don't give trans children hormones. They give them hormone blockers to delay puberty and allow them to choose how to proceed at an older age.

Also, your post above is incredibly ableist and transphobic,

Quote from cargame.nl :What if the States of America all would have their own flag.. Would you get the same discussion but then based on state? Like someone from Texas or California are two completely different species all of a sudden?

Each state in the US does have its own flag. They're mostly hideous.

For non-downforce cars, your setup should be very similar from track to track, with some small adjustments to damping, ARB, camber, tyre pressure, and gearing.

Downforce cars will see much larger changes, but it should still be possible to develop a setup for a variety of tracks from a common base.

1. Select hotlapping
2. Select track
3. Select car
4. Go on track
5. Press Escape
6. Click View
7. Change FOV as desired
8. Change view rotation as desired

IIRC, these settings are unique to each car, so if you change cars, you may need to change them again.

GP-Bikes has a hidden mode that lets you control the bars directly. It's a method I always advocated in the past but it's... really, really difficult when you can't properly feel what's going on. Granted, the low-speed physics quirks in that game don't help.

Wrong. Have you ever even ridden a motorbike?

Quote from Racer Y :That it's a class thing with y'all. You don't want to look like a lower class and you associate people that drives pick-ups as lower class. Really? It's 2016. Wake up.

Trucks are also a class/status thing here. The bigger the truck, the more status.

Quote from Racer Y :Chicks do like bad boys... counter culture rebellion... looking like a proletariat tough guy...those sorts of things.

In TV/movies that come from the imaginations of men? Sure. In real life? Not so much.

Politics in the Animal Kingdom, starting with "The Problems with First Past the Post Voting Explained" by CGP Grey.

Summary: First Past the Post results in a two-party system. It's mathematically proven. Even if third parties were putting themselves forward in such a way that the public felt they had any sort of viability, that only helps the candidate/party among the dominant two they like the least (i.e. the Spoiler Effect).

I don't disagree that we as a society over-medicate children for non-conformity, at least in this country.

I am autistic. Two of my best friends are autistic. I am active with ASAN. There is a strong bias against diagnosing women and girls as autistic, especially since societal pressure generally means they mask their autistic traits better. There is a reason it is called the Autism Spectrum. People present in a variety of ways. It is unwise and quite rude of you, as someone presumably without any education in psychology or mental health, to deny the diagnosis of any autistic individual. Many autistic traits are invisible to the casual observer.

It was Leo Kanner who devised an extremely strict, narrow, and concrete ideal of what autism is that almost no one fit. This meant a lot of people who needed help never got it, and instead ended up in asylums.

Hans Asperger, on the other hand, had a much broader and more fluid view of the characteristics that comprise the condition. This is more in line with the reality of autism as a natural neurological variation. Even still, due to the Nazi regime at the time, the cases he showcased in his papers demonstrated exclusive biases as well (i.e. all boys, all with some odd talent), largely as a matter of protecting many of the children from the Nazis.

NeuroTribes goes over the history of autism, including these two individuals. It's a very good read.

You know not of what you write, Racer Y. See my links above. Also, read NeuroTribes.

Stop with the vaccine BS. No autistic people care about this vaccine BS.

Furthermore, Autism Speaks does not speak for autistic people. Autism Speaks are eugenicists.

The focus should be more on acceptance and getting people the help they need to function in a society that is not designed with them in mind.

Quote from Endi_031 :I remember getting motorcycle slicks that were used relatively cheap, I desperately tried to gauge how much car slicks would cost on the internet, only to interestingly, find no information.

So it seems that their availability is low, and might cement your point.

Generally you can't get new slicks (and I think DOT racing tires?) without a racing license. In theory, slicks are worse on the street than a high-performance street tire because you can't get the proper level of heat into the slicks on the street, and their level of grip when cold is quite low, even compared to a street tire. They're designed for a relatively narrow temperature band, versus the super wide temperature band of a street tire.

EDIT: Quote added.

If you look at previous election years (2012 and 2008), this same search trend pops up, although usually in November, around the time of the General Election. It's unclear if it's a larger spike than previous election years.

I have to imagine any right-wingers looking to move north in the event of a Clinton or Sanders presidency are going to be sorely disappointed.

Quote from Racer X NZ :Cruz is not legally able to stand as Pres or Vice Pres (Born in Canada, to a Cuban father)

and an American mother.

Quote :...in February 2016 the Illinois Board of Elections ruled in Cruz's favor, stating, "The candidate is a natural born citizen by virtue of being born in Canada to his mother who was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth."

(source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz_presidential_campaign,_2016#Eligibility)

I'm by no means a Cruz supporter but I'm sick of these constantly perpetuated lies that get repeated because they're politically convenient.

Quote from petercollins :You don't think Clarkson parading a car through Argentina with reference to the Falklands War, which killed 649 Argentinians is too far?

James May on the Argentina number plate controversy

Quote from James May :Jeremy wanted a 928GT. It's a car he's very keen on and has been for a long time, but he wanted the manual, which is a very rare car in Britain in right hand drive. Now we found two for sale, one of them was considerably better than the other one, which is the one we bought. So in actual fact, because they all wear the registration numbers they've had from new, and there's nothing you can really do about that, the chances of buying that car were actually 1 in 2. [...] I always thought it was fairly obvious that we couldn't have fudged [the number plate].

The other stuff, yeah, Clarkson makes a game out of offending people who don't warrant that kind of abuse and it's ridiculous. But after hearing May talk about it, I think the number plate thing was purely a coincidence. He makes some logical points and I don't think he's normally one to defend Clarkson's antics like that.

Quote from pärtan :Types seen in LFS:
Double wishbone
Macpherson
torsion bar

The type you're thinking of is labeled "trailing arm", but even this is a bit of a misnomer since there is no change in wheelbase length through the suspension travel. (not to be confused with semi-trailing arm which introduces dynamic camber and toe)

In LFS, the wheel motion for this suspension type is strictly up and down along a one-dimensional axis. The closest real-life analogue is a motorcycle fork with 0 degrees of rake (i.e. pointed straight down).

Long ago, before S1, all LFS cars had this type of suspension on all four corners.
