If its some rando at the park spraying liquids of unknown origin on strangers, maybe calling the cops is reasonable. Calling the cops on a neighbour at a party for spraying you accidentally while following a child, overreaction. I hope they have any more parties and specifically ban that jerk neighbour’s who called the cops.

Young Men have largely been abandoned.

There are many reasons for this, but it still hurts when you need help and kindly get told to get lost because we don’t have supports for men and boys.

“This sentence is the epitome of injustice and a dangerous nod to child sexual predators letting them know, ‘No worries, we won’t go too hard on you,’”

This seems like its missing a pretty obvious point. Its not that the judge is going easy on a child rapist. The judge is going easy on a cop, who just so happens to also be a fucking child rapist. This cop, and the judge both deserve to be in jail for the rest of their lives.

You can volunteer yo not pay taxes. Move to some place without and renounce your citizenship. If I recall correctly Saudi Arabia doesn’t have a great deal of personal taxes.

Nah, at that point you just need articulated limos!

They also fail to mention that the cost of materials today is wildly lower making larger homes easier to achieve. Not to also mention advances in building techniques.

I just want to point out how incredible it is that in today’s age we have this incredible amount of entertainment available. Even if we apply Sturgeons law that’s still a fill years worth of solid games. He’ll, do it twice. That still means there’s at least 5 bangers in that mess, and I find it incredible that most all of that content is recent!

That’s only because you individually have been made responsible for the election. Every one else was at the meeting and didn’t want the job. Good luck, and don’t choose wrong!

Properly sharp knives are indifferent to that which they cut. Be that your steak, or you, their job is to cut.

A properly shaperned knife is a wicked, angry, thing. It must be treated with respect, deffarence, and no small part of care. However, they must not be feared; like a wild predator they can sense fear.

Suffice it to say OP was just using some artistic license to show that they got a new old knife and nicked themselves.

To quibble, you can’t pop a HID into a reflector housing at all, usually. Halogen and drop in replacement LED have a different focal point than HID bulbs do.

This means if switching to HIDs you also need to replace the entire housing so it will focus the light correctly. No amount of adjustment will be correct if the beam isn’t focused properly.

Don’t comment what a line is doing. Instead, write your code, especially names for variables, constants, classes, functions, methods and so on, so that they produce talking code that needs no comments.

Over and over and over again in my experience this just doesn’t work. Readable code does not substitute for comments about what the code should be doing.

Seconding this, I can’t think of a time that I’ve actually had windows respect my configured update window.

I’d also like to point out how annoying it is that manually hitting the update button doesn’t seem to do anything. If I hit the button I want to dedicate the full system resources to updating right now, not just keep doing what it was doing but add a skinny thing.

Oh good, that’ll be my entire adult life as well as my youth. Yaaaaaaay!

Dear lord I would hope not, but rhat just means we’re likely to be disappointed.

I shuddered you bastard.

The previous version works pretty darn well under proton (on Kubuntu 23.10 currently). Biggest issue for me is that its designed for controllers.

Strong disagree, under DST I get to experience some sunlight in then evenings. Under Standard time I get to watch the sun come up through the window and set through the window.

I don’t play competitive games so I don’t need the extra shooting accuracy. What I have found is that the higher refresh rate has made panning maps in RTS or looking around quickly in FPS much smoother. Its an overall nicer experience, but not really any better gaming than at 60hz.

How can anyone look at …

Simple, be an insurance company. It’s a fricken cash cow.

For me its mostly the time factor. A 45 min drive takes 2 to 3 hours by transit in my city, or longer one way. And thats if busses show up and make connections. I would love to take transit but can’t make it work in a any that would mean I still get to sleep.
