Found this website which does ... nothing, really. No points to win, no money to pay, no prize, no goal, just drive ... on and on ... with various choices of vehicle and terrain (including some off-Earth). Seems a paid version is being promised for Steam, but in the meantime ... just enjoy your sophisticated Web browser generating absolutely pointless real-time 3D graphics.

Lawrence, >>> Found this website which does ... nothing, really. No points to win, >>> no money to pay, no prize, no goal, just drive ... on and on ... with >>> various choices of vehicle and terrain (including some off-Earth). Ah, you have found a website that, from your description, does quite something, but as it didn't match your expectations you declare it to be doing "nothing". >> Post this in an other NG! It's not related to firefox at all. > > So sorry I took you away from whatever more important things you were > doing in order to read this drivel, and then waste more time getting upset > by it. The standard approach: when not able to respond to the message just attack the messenger. Well done. > I imagine that's ten seconds of your life you'll never get back. Lol. You're posting to complain about having wasted precious seconds on a website you do not understand the meaning of, but you "can't understand" when others tell you that bout you're doing the same to them. Look up the word "hypocrite". Also, from its main page : [quote] A Game About the Drive, Not the Destination Unlike traditional racing games that emphasize competition and lap times. There is no pressure to reach a finish line, no complex missions, and no time limits. [/quote] But I guess that reading "the rules of the game" (before or afterwards) is too much to ask from you ...

RHD tends to be mostly associated with the UK, or former British empire. Fun trivia question: can you name 3 RHD countries that were never part of the British empire? Conversely, can you name 3 LHD countries which were?

RHD Countries Never Part of the British Empire:
Japan - Japan drives on the left but was never colonized by the
British.
Thailand - A Southeast Asian nation that maintained its independence
during the colonial era.
Suriname -It was a Dutch colony, not British.
LHD Countries That Were Part of the British Empire:
United States - Initially a British colony before gaining
independence in 1776.
Canada - Formerly part of the British Empire, though it transitioned
to independence over time.
India - A significant part of the British Empire until its
independence in 1947.

Never thought of Suriname. Also Indonesia. > LHD Countries That Were Part of the British Empire: > > United States - Initially a British colony before gaining > independence in 1776. I wasn’t sure whether to include the US as a possibility, since it left long before the Empire started falling apart. There might be another one I can’t think of right now. > India - A significant part of the British Empire until its > independence in 1947. No. But Nigeria is, though.
