Oh, I remember. Some of the games I played a lot would just crash if I had Xfire running in the background.
Nope. At best, religion is a fairytale created for those who are uncomfortable with ignorance, and at worst, it’s a tool to control gullible people.

Yep. 27, Finland. I learned on a manual (in the EU, if you learn on an automatic, you’re restricted to automatics only until you pass the driving exam in a manual) and drove manuals until a few years ago when my late grandma’s health started declining and her car got passed down to us because she could no longer drive.
I have history turned on and it generally recommends stuff I’m interested in. My only complaint is that it doesn’t update often enough and likes to recommend videos I’ve seen already.
Modern, high end race cars are automatics.
No, they’re sequential manuals*. Unless you’re talking about drag racing, where automatics are common.
*Edit: Or they can also be sequential semi-automatics if you want to be extra pedantic. But personally I’d classify a transmission based on whether the driver has to select the desired gear, or if the computer selects the appropriate gear without driver input, because that’s the thing that matters in the end.
It’s not just about speed and acceleration. It’s also about control. Racing drivers face an infinite number of different conditions out on the track and it would be impossible to tune the transmission in such a way that it does exactly what the driver wants 100% of the time. And it really has to be perfect. 99.9% isn’t good enough because the other 0.1% can wreck the car if it does something unexpected while driving at the limit.
Rivian CEO should keep his mouth shut until a few grand gets you a used compact electric hatchback (VW Polo or similar) with a decent battery.
