Ford has announced that the new S-Max, which goes on sale in Europe in August, will have a new feature that automatically slows you down so that you're traveling within the speed limit.

Called the Intelligent Speed Limiter, the new feature is a combination of two nascent automotive technologies: adjustable speed limiters and traffic sign recognition. An adjustable speed limiter might sound like cruise control, but it's slightly different: cruise control keeps your speed constant, while an adjustable speed limiter stops the throttle from delivering more fuel to the engine once you reach the desired speed.

Traffic sign recognition is exactly what it sounds like: using a forward-facing camera, usually behind the rearview mirror, an on-board computer scans the environment for signs that might be important. Over the last few years, there have been a number of cars that automatically recognize signs and flash up alerts on a digital dashboard display.

Now, Ford is combining these two technologies to create a car that automatically slows down when you pass a traffic sign that indicates a new speed limit. If you're going over the speed limit, the S-Max will reduce the amount of fuel being delivered to the engine, smoothly slowing you down.

For now, the automatic deceleration can be overridden by pressing firmly on the accelerator. Amusingly, you can also tell the car to decelerate to 5mph above the speed limit—so you can actively choose to do 35 in a 30 if you so wish.

Ford's Intelligent Speed Limiter, like lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and parking assist, is yet another mile marker on the route to fully self-driving vehicles. While autonomous cars already have myriad ramifications to work through—and surely many more issues that are yet to be discovered—something like the Intelligent Speed Limiter, on its own, is just a helpful tool to stop you accidentally getting a speeding ticket.

It's not difficult, though, to see how this could be the beginning of the end for spirited driving. The first cars to offer an automatic speed limiter will have the feature turned off by default—but at some point down the line, it's not inconceivable that a car company might offer an on-by-default vehicle for safety (or speeding ticket) conscious customers.

Sure. Tell me where you live so we can celebrate this by me raping you. Just for a warning I'm not going to lube it up or spit on it.

DBZ is now a multiverse so Raditz and Nappa can be stronger than they were in the manga/anime.

That's probably the only way for this to work. Raditz could be Jeice who most likely is the utility fighter. Nappa would be Recoome due to his size and he would most likely be the most resistant. Then Vegeta would be the leader of the group.   

Oh boy. Another shitpost where Elegiac tries to be funny.

And I thought I was bad at that.

The cocktail, pictured below, was a large napkin inside what appears to be a plastic Gumout Gas Treatment bottle

After all plastic is breakable when it impacts.

Did anybody think about asking Verb if he wanted a thread made about him?

Since western feminists are so paranoid of men then why don't they just stay inside or commit suicide?

Speaking about being ignorant... 

Ah, I wish Jedi Academy had been a serious game, though. There's a lot of good missions and cool locations, it's just a shame that the story is so half-assed.

For the Dark Side ending it's retarded your character ends up taking control of that ship. I love the s/he somehow managed to land inside the thing. You would think they would have been shot down before they get close to it.

Was it a fag on a Harley?

What else is new?

Tom Dooley. The reason for this song is because the song is about a real person that is going to die. What makes it darker is that there's a possibility the guy didn't even kill her. 


The cat came back. Reason for this song is because the whole thing is about people trying to get rid of it and they end up dying.


In the mountains. Same reason as Tom Dooley. It's based on something real that happened and the guy is eating his team.


Suicide is painless. As you can tell it's about suicide and to me at the end of the song if this was a story the person committed suicide. The other thing is that because of the painless thing that's kinda giving a suicidal person a reason to go for it. 

Back on b.old there was a sporadic Flood bar that occasionally popped up where the OP would link rainy mood and some sort of jazz. They were actually kind of fun because the mods would turn a blind eye to any political or religious discussion within since it was an unspoken rule that you had to be civil.

These days it's just a bunch of people making poor imitations for e-fame.

This one was fun and creative.

On my road at two locations I seen a outside generator or whatever that looks similar to the image. On top of it there's an exhaust stack. The thing is fenced in which there's a crane that opens a ground door and there's a small shed next to it.
