Usually for 90 large. I expect 2 bathrooms and a walk-in closet in the master suite.

Hell, at 90 large, you could get an awfully nice sportscar for real. Why bother with a simulation?

Checking out the finish, though. that's pretty slick. I love the brushed aluminum CP with the embossed symbols over the buttons, and black leather textured buttons with chrome surrounds? Yeah, I could do that.

For $90k, I'd expect a better experience than sitting in a $300 playseat frame and looking at a screen four feet above me.

They also did the 80's arcade trunk: http://www.pineletpinel.com/pinel-en/collections-trunks-arcade-80-trunk.php

Sadly no. The bastard that came up with that is also still alive.

 Is there a Fiefox plugin that stops that?

So what I should do is take my money and try and immigrate to the US for a nice cheap place to live? A friend did almost the same thing recently, although he went to Sri Lanka.

Met a British man in California that took his life savings and moved to Santa Barbara. Says it was the best thing he had ever done, like he doubled all of his money and got to live in the warmth.

Oh stop.  You weren't friends with Arthur C. Clarke and he was mostly going there for the little boys.

Hubbard had multiple wives and a ton of children.  No telling what he was up to there during the lunatic days at the end, though.

The Clarke rumor dogged him for decades, hardly a new one.

Clarke was a gay guy and had some younger lovers in Sri Lanka.  I have seen no evidence or even rumor of children.  I have a hard time linking him to any immorality. 

PBJ, I'm with you on your read on Heinlein, even though I still love his work, bit of a narcissistic kook.  I believe Clarke was not a child abuser.  If I find new evidence in the future so be it.

Hubbard, I think may have had a screw loose, but again haven't run into anything pointing towards sex with children.

Apparently Sacramento, CA is a major hub in underage sex slave trafficking. However I'm quite mystified as to why top news stories typically consist of the Sacramento Kings and/or the occasional murder. So I'm not exactly sure what entails "major". I guess the very laws that serve to protect children also squelch the bulk of any public awareness of it.

Apparently Sacramento, CA is a major hub in underage sex slave trafficking. However I'm quite mystified as to why top news stories typically consist of the Sacramento Kings and/or the occasional murder. So I'm not exactly sure what entails "major". I guess the very laws that serve to protect children also squelch the bulk of any public awareness of it.
once again. Kansas just seems to get better with every post.
