Despite what many people think/have heard, most places do not have a specific law against doing loops in a roundabout. And when they do it is often a local ordinace(mostly small towns trying to prevent a local car community from driving up and down the main street all night). Although other laws or regulations can apply depending on circumstances.

Things like impeding/obstructing traffic, careless/reckless driving, noise ordinance, etc. But if you’re driving around one in an industrial area at night, the worst you’ll get is probably some accusing questions and a “warning”.

Boomers still think fast-food jobs are part-time things that teenagers do for some pocket change. They literally do not grasp the idea that there are adults working there to pay rent and buy food.

It’s banned in several European countries like Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Norway, Iceland and Greece. And it’s pending legislation in several others. As to why it wasn’t EU law already: Some of the legislations are pretty new so it wasn’t considered as something the majority would approve until they started implementing their own laws. On top of that several EU countries have pretty strong homophobic communities.

Countries like Poland. In 2020 the EU was witholding funding for parts of Poland, because they established “LGBT-free zones”. And the last one was only made invalid by the Administrative court last month.

A little context:

• It was bought just after WW2.

• It’s not an original, original. It’s the 1300 version, not the 1215 or 1225.

• It’s one of 25 known originals

• It’s one of 3 known to still exist outside of Britain.

He’s a software engineer, I’d bet on him automating it in a way that it’s been flagged by commonly used recruting tools and is auto-rejected.

Some of those tools also use LLM now, and they’re regularly found to be flawed and turning away wanted applicants.

They spent a lot of money developing it, and now they have to justify that money. So they’re going to keep pushing it until some idiotic manager doesn’t have red numbers in their spreadsheet. Regardless of what people want.

I hate modern MBAs.

Why are they removing people from planes leaving the country to detain them.

Wouldn’t it be better to just do the European tour and then stay in Europe at this point?

Because it’s just nazism. They want to imprison and harm non-white people, and they’re using “immigration” as an excuse.

Indeed, the vast majority on any social media platform does not engage. And when they do it’s mostly just liking content and not even replying. You see it on lemmy as well, with news articles often having few comments. And when they do it’s one or two top comments and a bunch of replies.

Over the years the only thing I can imagine is to add another anonymizing layer, where people can send in questions and the “best ones” are posted by a general/bot account. But that is something people much smarter than me have tried to figure out for years, so I have no idea how it would be implemented.

Is there a way to encourage people to post more? Because the main problem seems to be getting actual posts, not replies to them.

For example “nostupidquestions” only has a few questions a day, but there are 40k subscribers and 1500 people or so checking in every day. It has 4.2k posts and 170k comments.

“asklemmy” has more posts, fewers subscribers, and over 2k a day check in. 6k posts and 317k comments.

Yeah, this is why they’ve been spamming social media(including lemmy) with the whole “Kakistocracy” thing recently.

They really want you to think the idiots are in charge, that way you don’t try to dig deeper as the idiots chop off everything they see and some parts they’re told. Just look at the Librarian of Congress thing. People were making jokes about librarians, meanwhile she was basically in charge of defining DMCA and digital copyright.

For anyone not reading the article: She was the co-founder and was putting together a collection of games they had made and needed the source code for the game Wasteland.

I asked for the source and was given a blank stare. I went to the COO’s office and he gave me a cardboard box that looked like it was run over by a truck and it had some of the source on floppies. I ended up contacting friends at Electronic Arts to get a copy of the source we sent them when Wasteland shipped.

After that she started keeping backups of everything she worked on.

At this point the only reason they aren’t openly transferring money into their own accounts, is because they still have some fear of the international banking system.

Indeed, they specifically called it genocide when it was announced. And they voted against their leadership who only wanted one of those “culture and academic” boycotts(a small part of the leadership also wanted to call it “unimaginable suffering” instead of genocide). But the people voted 240 in favor and 69 against an economic boycott. They’re also backing up the UN’s demand of the occupation ending by September. At which point they want Norway to initiate an international boycott if it has not happened.

They have some ties to the current major political party, the Labour Party, who’s leader said he “disagreed”.

For reference, this an “umbrella organization” with two dozen smaller unions totaling over a million people, out of Norways 5.5m total population. They represent around 35% of working adults, meaning that if they go into strike, the country shuts down.

EDIT: It should be mentioned that this was at a yearly conference, which is also why it didn’t happened sooner.

Yeah, the amount of industrial machinery being controlled by ancient hardware would baffle a lot of people.

For a comparison people might relate to: There are ATMs running twenty year old versions of Windows XP.

They sabotaged themselves years ago by squashing popular votes with an algorithm, so a large amount of people don’t realize the size of the site.

You can go look at recent popular tweets and see 200k reactions, meanwhile the top posts on reddit show 10-30k votes, despite having 2-50 times as many behind the scenes.

There is some C in the game as well:

It’s 99% written in x86 assembler/machine code (yes, really!), with a small amount of C code used to interface to MS Windows and DirectX.

Not sure vampiric “law” cares about renters rights. And if it does, is it based on current laws in the country they are in, or the country of origin? And is it the origin of vampires themselves or just the vampire turned. And is it based on the time they were turned or modern laws?

Either way, in one instance I they bought it from the bank after missed mortage payments. So they weren’t legally living there anyway but counted as last/current resident for the vampire since the bank isn’t a person.

That’s actually a plot point in at least one of the vampire shows. A vampire buys someones home from the bank, and they’re free to enter despite the resident/occupants refusal.

Yeah, Quake 2 recommended a Pentium 133, and that was released two years earlier(the AMD equivalent was released only a year and a half before the game). It required a Pentium 90 which was three years old, but it didn’t run smooth from what I remember.

That sort of requirement for a major component today would be considered self-sabotage for most non-vr pc games.
