They’ve had some flops…Wii U, DSi, Virtualboy…but they ain’t no game.com. Way more hits than misses in the console realm.

Sure. But speeding doesn’t cause collisons nearly to the level of any of the other things.

Going slow is a great way to reduce damage once a collision has occurred. Artificially slowing down roads (by throwing up a camera and a sign and nothing more) doesn’t do shit to prevent collisions in the first place. It might slow down the road. It might make someone panic and jump on their brakes to avoid a ticket. It might get people paying closer attention to their speedometer than to the crosswalk up ahead.

Put another way, you’re referencing the second law. Second law doesn’t matter until the first law is broke. Don’t act upon an object, won’t be no actions upon another object.

I don’t disagree, but I also think speeding is the least dangerous thing that happens on the road.

Where are the cameras catching tailgaters, people who don’t signal, people cutting others off, people cruising in the left and not passing, people blatantly running stop signs, people texting or doing makeup?

These behaviors are all far more dangerous.

Speeding is a psychological problem. You can’t take a four-lane, straight, flat, state highwayswith few cross-roads, and all of a sudden it’s a 20MPH zone because there’s a high school on it (and an elevated crosswalk at that), then throw a camera on it and make a money generating machine.

I mean, you can…Rhode Island does it. At least in the poorer neighborhoods. They don’t do it in the nice neighborhoods (well, most of them…I guess Blackstone Blvd is like the one exception). But it’s not really doing anything but pissing people off.

Maybe just…don’t build the highschool on a four-lane, flat, straight state highway with few cross-roads? Ain’t nobody living in walking distance of it anyway.

Tbh I don’t know why we don’t use copper. I imagine because it’s more difficult to fuck up threaded and doped connections as opposed to soldered ones.

You ever see gas hookups in the US?

We use black pipe for most of the run. Cast Iron. The actual hookup itself is a flexible pipe…SS or Aluminum I think. Been a long time since I had gas. Sometimes they have like a rubbery-epoxy-ish coating but I assume that’s now quite gone and stinky.

Up until a couple years ago I thought we were moving away from racism and classism and more towards a caste system.

Turns out we actually are, races just have their own sub-castes.

But ultimately there are really very few examples of individuals moving past the second or third tier on their own. Those that do are often flaunted as examples of the American Dream or whatever. Basically, hunger games.

My comments are just the code that didn’t work but I don’t want to delete yet because I might make it work except I never will be cause I already rewrote it so it does.

Well then I’ll make my own browser! With blackjack! And hookers!

Oh. Wait…that’s just tor-browser.

Just go to prison and have a nutriloaf ffs.

“leftists” just want their population to be fairly represented. The system that we have now gives significantly more power to people who live in the right places.

These places are all away from densely populated areas (which are, coincidentally, the areas that are contributing the most to our GDP, also where the highest wages are and thus where the biggest chunk of taxes are collected)

What we are well on our way to, is a tyranny of the minority, and you sound like you’re applauding it. As if that is somehow better for everyone than majority rule, or even the stalemate we have now.

Yeah, we want a functional democracy where not everyone, but at least the majority, thinks the same way…and also runs under the direction of a majority. You know, like a democracy should.

What we have now is a dysfunctional democracy…one which runs counter to what the majority are thinking.

I’d been meaning to try out atomic distros. I’m not an expert on Linux by any means but I’ve been using it on-and-off for about 25 years, and exclusively (at home, at least) for about 7. So I’m a bit more than a noob.

I do worry if I’d feel restricted inside of an atomic distro. Might throw kininite on a laptop I’ve been meaning to give to my kid, tho.

They didn’t forget it, it’s just that every water tribe avatar has been lame.

I say “la vie”. In the same tone that JD and Turk said “two bits” after hearing “shave and a haircut”.

Sometimes a friend counters with “BOHEM!”. Those are good days.

Only for low-wage jobs. IME it’s rare for office workers to get drug tested.

He’s Peter Thiel’s plaything ever since he bankrolled his suit against Gawker.

Fucking Thiel is set to take over the world. Him and his old buddies Musk and Zuck.

It’s soooooo fucking obvious, too. These guys are legit the globalist elite that the conservatives have warned about for decades and they are fleecing them while they beg for more. How the fuck did we get here?

They had to know this would happen, right?

Like, they didn’t think to test with a dual booting system? Wtf?

Where do they even get off fixing a bug in grub?

This is the natural evolution of the telethon. It was only a matter of time. Jerry Lewis would be proud.

Because people don’t go to Dunkin for donuts, they go to Dunkin for coffee. Maybe a breakfast sandwich (which as far as fast food goes, not really all that bad). Donuts are probably their lowest performing category.

Dude if I had an IV of Dunks cold brew, I would be soooo happy.

“Grocery stores”

Buddy of mine is going through a divorce. Wife crashed his car the day she told him about her affair. Selling their house now, he’s in it (carless) and going through a divorce.

The choices for grocery shopping in less than an hour walk from his house are a Family Dollar and a Cumberland Farms (a gas station). And they are both literally uphill both ways.

How the fuck can people be healthy on that?

His house isn’t even far out in the boonies. It’s maybe like a quarter mile off a main road. My house is way worse for that. I don’t even think I could buy food within a walkable distance. Maybe eggs and milk from a backyard farmers but that’s it.
