Baja California, you dingus

Haha, oops... but who the heck abbreviates a place name like that?

BC could be just about anything in that case...

It gets that hot in BC sometimes. It's ridiculous.


That's BS too... It has never been even close to 50 degrees C in BC. Unless you're recording the temperature of the asphalt...

Highest recorded temperature is 39.1 C... why lie?

I've got to give it to Forza Horizon 3, they nailed so many aspects of a believable weather system imo. It is especially nice to see the effects in the Blizzard Mountain expansion... as someone who lives in winter for 5+ months of the year, they really did an incredible job making it look real, way better than any other game I've seen as far as winter goes.

The clouds, the colours, the way rain or a snowstorm blows in from afar, it's all just so damn nicely done!

What game can you think of that does weather better than any other? I'm thinking non-modded, but feel free to suggest some modded games too.

And here, ladies and gentlemen, is why you dont want to lie on your resume and know right off the bat what your job duties will entail.


I donno, that's sound advice in theory but in reality I've missed out on plenty of jobs I'm qualified for because I was honest about my abilities and limitations. Meanwhile some jackass who's lying through their teeth walks in and talks themselves up to be the best of the best... so they get the job... only to be significantly worse than I would have been lol. But at that point most employers will keep them on and give them a chance, not immediately fire them and start the hiring process all over again.

Basically, lying (or omitting certain info) during a job interview is actually quite beneficial, at least in my experience. I don't feel good about it or comfortable with it, but I'm flaunting the shit out of myself the next opportunity I get, because I sick of being passed over for some idiot who's either a liar, or so incompetent they don't know their own skillset.

There's a lot of truth to the "fake it till you make it" motto.
