And as any cat owner will tell you, cats can learn new tricks and complicate matters in unpredictable ways. Notably, 10 days into the experiment, Clover figured out that she could physically overpower the robot's joints by pulling from a particular angle. When the robot tried to take away her favorite orange bird toy before she was ready to relinquish it, Clover pulled on the joint and unlocked it so that the human operator lost control. Clover then took the orange bird toy away from the robot and dragged it away. The string connecting the toy and the stick the robot was holding then got stuck in the water fountain, tipping the fountain over.

Streets of SimCity 27 Years Later: An LGR Retrospective
It's been ages since I first covered this so it's high time for a revisit! Streets of SimCity was a flawed jankfest of a game, yet I've always had a fondness for it. Exploring your SimCity 2000 cities in 3D was fantastic in 1997 and even with all the bugs and crashing I played it a ton. So let's revisit it decades later, now with the excellent SimStreetsX patch!
I feel like there is something profound to say about how it's because streets with his name are usually located in Black communities, which white urban planners used to intentionally break up with large roads.
But I'm not the person to write eloquently on it.

"Winter 2016 Mornings"
This fog continuously deposits ice on most surfaces, which has made the mornings this season some of the worst times for riding I've ever experienced.
