Worked for dubya… Twice if I remember right.

Two crumbs…

A hamster is a perfect sidekick… Hamster style is the most dangerous of the kung fu styles…

Went from a 2023 to a 2013 earlier this year, it’s been a wonderful and refreshing change.

I don’t mean to draw attention to it but Usenet never went away, it’s still the best place to find a lot of interesting articles in my opinion.

Hand grenades, at 5 paces lol.

Edit: yeah, there’d be injuries all around but very low skill.

It could just be me, but I see no shame at all in declining a duel. Or are we going to go back to when the challenged get to choose the weapon and location? Naked, with whips, to the death would likely make most people trained with a firearm question it. I’m not sure how popular whips are, but I wouldnt consider myself completely inept with them and could probably tag their twig and berries pretty early on in the fight.

Man I eventually stopped fighting that hurdle and just changed the login screen to say “Broken-ass auth” so I remember that one is different. I’m the only person using it at my house and recently went back to a car with a CD player and USB port for infotainment (such a refreshing change after a decade and a half of screens in my face) so I haven’t bothered to go back to fix it.

MySQL would love this kind of recognition, instead it just gets turned into "My"SQL.

In Georgia I’ve never had a vehicle inspection, I’m guessing that isn’t common for the American experience? The only times I’ve had to go through vehicle inspections was when I lived in Germany and England for a bit.

That song has lived rent free in my head for a long time.

Oh, my sincerest apologies, I had mentioned them to some other people and they legitimately didn’t know.

I think it is intended more for the relatively hidden cameras on some glasses. A body cam (at least currently) looks pretty obviously like a recording device, whereas some of the perv goggles can hide the lense pretty well.

Simple as it sounds, you just plug them into a wall outlet and as long as the grid is powered, it will feed power back into your house. The grid being powered requirement means they don’t work during blackouts, but that is mainly intended to avoid electrocuting a line worker when they expect the line not to have any power.

I’m in! As long as I don’t have to get rid of my psx, PSP, ps2, ps3, and ps4. I promise not to give them another dime, or use any of their shitty online services… Though to be honest I started boycotting them about the time the first Destiny expansion was launched.

There are 13 out of 50 states that allow what you are encouraging, if stopping means you can’t safely make a turn or allow the people with the right of way to go, you shouldn’t be on the road (otherwise why eveb have rules).

The sections linked explicitly only remove the penalties for DUI, and reckless driving. You can still be ticketed and your vehicle can be impounded, it doesn’t happen often but laws are laws and they can be changed.

Fingers crossed they are going to help the Palestinians.

From a quick search we had like 1.5-2 million ebikes on the road in 2022 and between 6.5-8 million now so I’d say there are around 400% of the total ebikes on the road from 2022, being ridden now. Over the past 4 years the average age of riders seems to be getting lower too… Maybe that is playing into the numbers a bit.

When I see stats like that it just reminds me how disconnected most people are. I don’t doubt for a second that injuries related to them have increased, but many more ebikes/scooters/eucs/etc. are there on the road now vs 4 years ago? I’d be willing to bet it grew by a few million (just from a cursory Google search it claims 4.5-6 million more on the road than in 2022).

It’s like how they say ‘90% of accidents happen within x distance of home’; no shit most the accidents happen where I’m most likely to be.

A lot of people can’t afford multiple bikes, if they bought their kid an ebike, which was okay at the time but now they can’t… It puts some people into a hard spot. Imagine if the school said ‘no more vehicles with hoods taller than the students’ to keep the kids safe. Would it make it safer for kids, definitely; is it going way overboard, again definitely.
