I believe it's "... comes monsters", if you're talking about the Francisco de Goya aquatint. But I'm being pedantic. You're point stands.

Agreed. When I said "install," I meant everything, really. R&D, design, manufacturing, installation, etc. Even so, touchscreens are not a suitable replacement and never will be.

It had nothing to do with being a good idea. It was just the more profitable idea. Tactile controls cost more to install than a cheap touchscreen with a dogshit GUI. Bonus being you have a proprietary part, the consumer can't easily swap out later if they want. So you've baked in some nice obsolescence to boot.

Ain't capitalism great? Race to the bottom.

No, only because the next verse references god. And NDT doesn't buy into that.

Many places won't sell M rated games to minors without a guardian present. It also allows guardians to make better informed decisions about what they're about to buy for their children. It may not be a silver bullet, but it might start to put some pressure on studios to think twice about putting gambling in games targeted towards children.

He's a ventriloquist and his arm was in the dummy which he made mouth of to some gun slingers. They shot the dummy for this and his arm got shot up as well.

Simple. He's a dumbass.

I would think an electric vehicle would have quite a lot fewer things like gaskets and other seals since gas isn't involved. Other than the normal wear and tear items like brakes, shocks, rotors, etc, battery repair would be the major thing I'd expect to need work. I imagine many mechanics aren't trained to handle these, so they end up just replacing the whole unit. Obviously this is wasteful though but could be easily solved via training.
