I mean they could use a Fiat 500, or some other modern car...but what would the fun be in that?

I bet a Fiat 500 is narrower

The 2021 Fiat 500 sits at 1,683 mm width, a whopping 7 mm wider than the Model T at 1,676 mm: https://www.automobiledimension.com/city-cars.php

How's that compare to a 1957 BMW Isetta 300?

We've got one in the local car museum, it gets driven out and about every 18 months or so.

I've seen at least two (or maybe remakes?) on local roads, one of which was driven several times per week.

And costs more to buy and maintain.

A running Ford Model T likely costs absurd amounts of money to maintain because everything about it is likely custom, especially when something breaks.

And the driver is unlikely to survive a crash.

That's true. I'm doubtful anyone has ever done offset crash testing of a Model T. From what it sounds like, this specific vehicle is driven slow for safety of others and possibly safety of occupants do, and likely not to wear and stress this functional relic as much either.

The risk will be a collision from behind, or a collision from the side at a junction.

In every case I'd rather be in the Fiat 500. The only benefit might be the Model T attracting more attention, but some flashing lights and a garish "Road Maintenance" paint scheme could solve that for the Fiat.

Play Wolfenstein 3D on Archive.org (DOSBox emulator runs in the browser): https://archive.org/details/msdos_Wolfenstein_3D_1992

If playing it locally in DOSBox on Linux here are some settings to try out in your ~/.dosbox/wolf3d.conf copy of ~/.dosbox/dosbox-x.xx-x.conf

  [cpu]
  
  core=auto
  cputype=auto
  cycles=10000
  cycleup=10
  cycledown=20

And at the bottom of the file add your own mount like this:

  [autoexec]
  # Lines in this section will be run at startup.
  # You can put your MOUNT lines here.
  
  @ECHO OFF
  MOUNT C /games
  C:
  CD WOLF3D
  WOLF3D
  EXIT

Then start the game with:

  dosbox -conf ~/.dosbox/wolf3d.conf

> I guess no one tested it on Chromiun that runs on Ubuntu 22.03 with i3wm.

Correct as there's no such thing as Ubuntu 22.03.

When I gamed on Linux a lot (ironically, Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Enemy Territory) I used to run a second Xserver.

Obvious typo (meant 22.04) :p

And yeah I suppose gaming on Linux will always be the test of time however you look at it.

It seems akin to SEO experts identifying as engineers. Can we just call them experts or wizards if they want to be fantastical.

The CDC also has numbers from 2009-2019, the following report shows similiarly shocking numbers pre-covid:

To avoid the jurisdiction of the SEC.

But what changed? Not from US, missing context.

My interpretation of peyton’s comment was that the crypto industry players these days incorporate in places with more legal and regulatory flexibility than the US these days, not that something has changed in US regulations to make Delaware less favorable.

Is it just me or does this raise more red flags than a soviet parade?

If an industry needs "more legal flexibility" that just screams scam to me.

All insurance is in Bermuda. The federal reserve used cayman entities to send stimulus checks. Most not for profit orgs in the USA use Puerto Rican or offshore hedge funds to avoid withholding

> The federal reserve used cayman entities to send stimulus checks.

This is a heck of a claim given that stimulus checks were issued by the US Treasury, not the Fed.

Bermuda has a lot of reinsurance that I know of. What insurance are you referring to?

>If an industry needs "more legal flexibility" that just screams scam to me

IIRC Stem cell reserarch is limited in the USA given the puritanism in its society and laws.

I wouldn't say that Stem Cell therapy is a scam per se.

Sometimes, laws fall behind progress in some countries.

Stem Cell Therapy has a fairly obvious use case though. Ten years in, the most popular use cases for crypto appear to be speculation, financial crime and money laundering.

Stem Cell Therapy is going on 24 years now (1998). This argument is flawed too.

Thats a good point. Let me fix my claim: If a financial product needs "legal flexibility", it's most likely a scam.

The conclusion I draw is that scams form around unregulated industries.

Here in mu country there are A LOT of stem cell related scams. But that doesn't mean there's not some real R&D going on .

Well, so stem cell research is avoiding US laws because of Puritanism.

Why is crypto avoiding US laws?

Edit: Also, a quick Google of top stem cell research companies show that they are based in the U.S. or Europe, so I’m not sure how correct the claim of US avoidance is. But even if they are avoiding the U.S., they are choosing Europe instead, where “legal flexibility” is still not a thing.

The US doesn’t have crypto legislation AFAIK. Just a hodgepodge of rules from various power brokers. Other jurisdictions do a better job. IANAL, so take with grain of salt.

Or in other words "wait, they actually incorporated in the US and not on the Cayman Islands or in Hong Kong or in $Obscure South Pacific Country You Never Heard Of? Amateurs!"
