Where I live bikes have to block the traffic lane and you end up with a line of cars behind you a km long all going 15 in a 60 zone. Also cy lists get killed on these roads all the time so I see a bike less than once a year, but when I do, there are 100 cars behind them, or the bike is painted white in memorial to someone who died there.
Also, have you bought 9volt batteries recently? Batteries are NOT cheaper in the real world in any use case in my experience.
If you’re in public in the US, consent doesn’t matter at all. We need to actively block surveillance, create our own privacy.
That petition is cute, but even if such a law was passed, it would be struck down.
Well you definitely don’t have any right to privacy in public in the US.
It also depends on where and other context. If it is an old frail man or a woman being punched by a dude twice their size it absolutely can be. I also said it depended on the state and I said maybe. I’m not spreading false information.
It really depends on the state. Quite a few people have been killed by being sucker punched. So if you punch someone out of the blue they can say they feared for their life.
And breaking legs, the amount of force depends on the person. My daughter broke her own legs twice just by slipping on a stair a little. What if they’re carrying a retractable baton and when you punch them they hit you in the knee with it? Not unreasonable in a lot of the US.
I can’t speak to the laws in other nations but in the US it depends a lot on where they’re recording. If you’re just out on the street, it’s not only not a crime to record in public, it’s a protected right. So if you punch them they’d be solidly in their rights to mace you or break your legs, maybe even shoot you in many states. And then have you arrested and force you to pay for a new pair of glasses.
But if they were doing that shit on private property or somewhere worse like a restroom, give them the ol western bouncer treatment and send them flying out the door with a broken pair of glasses. I mean you could assault them out in public too, but there could be some unpleasant consequences.
Well obviously. I was calling them out for the reason for the half-measure. They want to signal their values while not abandoning the larger shittier advertising market. I’ve never used Twitter/X because it’s always been an obvious cess pit but organizations can’t resist that place or Reddit, or so it seems.
They’re reducing and not leaving X because there’s fucking nobody on mastodon in comparison. Reach still matters and the fediverse is very hostile to normies
Most of them in my area are about 25 feet / 8 meters up in the air.
The average user won’t notice any difference.
Ok but they were selling shitty laptops with 4g of soldered RAM very recently. I also had to deal with a 64gb soldered SSD, that piece of shit wasn’t even that old, it was a Windows 11 PC . The torx still annoy me, but they’re a garbage company. Don’t even start on their printers.
It’s always torx. I don’t need them for anything else. And yeah I own a couple of torx bits but I have a really nice selection of Philips I keep right at hand. But like I said, that’s just one of many reasons.
I like to fix or upgrade people’s PCs here and there. I always tell people not to buy HP. There are 100 reasons, but one big one is they won’t just use regular fucking screws.
I have at least 80 DIMMS of DDR3. Upgrading an old tower this morning.
My 4070ti isn’t as beefy but there’s still not a non-nvidia upgrade. And I am able to play most of my games at 4k / 120. I’d like to upgrade mine so I can give my card to my daughter and give her 3060ti to her brother who is currently running a 1060.
My family’s early 1900s experience with Russia did involve that. I’m no lover of capitalism either but most starvation happens for political reasons not supply. Evil people in power don’t care regardless of the economic system.
It doesn’t have to say to do it when it just consistently happens. It’s what we call the quiet part. Sometimes the quiet part gets said out loud but not always. We do get little peeks here and there even when people aren’t being mass murdered. Like when anti marxists get murdered and their deaths are widely celebrated amongst marxists.
There is no shoulder on the roads or bike lanes, just two lane roads (one each direction) with high speed limits and heavy truck traffic and commuters. Often they’re going 80kmh around blind curves. There are essentially never bikes but when there are they either die or they create huge backups.
