Higher capacity means more longevity.

Story time: I'm a dick on social media, routinely arguing with anti-science losers.

You know this gets me banned by karen brigade.

Now I can't use my portal or messenger. :sadPikachu:

If you do give away your access rights to where it can be locked by Needle Weenie rage - a joke that never gets old, like their kids - then get a separate account for external access. They'll never know you're also v3a4j11518 and can't ban That one too.

Speed on Red I can see being a good one. I've seen people dump two gears to make the red on MacLeod at Southland (I think; where was tramps comics?).

Regular red light cams don't improve safety. But they do drastically increase red light collisions as people are looking at the light too much at exactly the wrong time.

Speed cameras, help very little but have been shown to be blatant and slimy cash grabs.

It comes down to cops and roadside tickets. Now that Farnworth is forcing half-trainable (not my assessment) metrocops at Surrey, we can expect bearings as well as tickets. Maybe it'd be better to get one in the mail then.

That's GENIUS.

It's amazing how far we've come.

Is there a list of which laws were just disobeying now, or not?

My sister, who ran a pet store for a while, would have benefited from this knowledge before rampant theft killed her dream.

Nope. I hate saying the name.

As John Bender may ask, "can you describe the controversial comments?"

These days, suggesting 5000 != 1500 is considered controversial.

It also adds a comma splice to every footnote; maybe in a bid to pass the Turing. Smart plan too: it has more leeway on sentence structure if it can masquerade like an American "no child left behind" millennial.

In the first sentence, they pluralize either 'traffic' or 'email' with an s. One of the two; same issue.

It's so simple, but if my podiatrist can't spell 'appendix' properly I'm still getting a new doctor.

I can feel BC Ferries VPs nervous shaking from here.

What ; guns? As a former military member, yeah -- I don't want some hillbilly who can't aim playing air guitar in the woods. And if you have any weapon for any other purpose than hunting, you need to see a shrink.

I'm in before the gun-clutchers woke up! Yay!

It's funny: we never had our C7s into the Moar Pew mode; just Pew and occasionally Pew-pew-pew. It was cheaper to send us to the range and learn how to shoot better!

Not even.

I'm shit on ansible because it's really cheesy and weak. But that's how the bills get paid some days.

Now I put the task into chatgpt and even 3.5 will give me a 70% solution I can fuck with and send back "hey will this work" and let it correct my indentation - fuck that - so it'll probably run.

That's like 90% of the work there, and it's only an hour in. I'm not chuffed at 'cheating', as I know I could have gotten there without the paper to cheat off, but I would have wasted far too long. And Ansible will die either through its own brontosaurus layout or IBM will snshittify it to the point people need to churn away anyway. Then maybe it'll be to something that brings me joy and I'll want to do more and not less.

I've been shadow-banned from a few subreddits when I was still on the site.

Not. One. Warning.

on r/images or r/gifs or something, I 'and my ax'ed on some random thread. Banned. Thread context? All deleted. No warning, no explanation, and when I asked for feedback I got something like "the ban holds" or something.

Honestly, I'm a dick a lot of the time, but I simply can't reconcile a ban for "and my ax". Ban me for the actual stuff I do, sure. A warning would be excellent. But that one bugs me the most as I can't learn from it.

In the army we used to get a pack of instant coffee with the afternoon meal. We rarely wanted to shit ourselves later in the bush, so, no. We'd save it for whomever was fucked with guard shift that night.

Please understand there is no hot water at night; no real water supply at all. We do not traipse about the boonies looking for a stream, nor do we make a fire so it can be seen for miles. We even hide the pips on our wristwatch.

Not since bush coffee have I had instant coffee. And if I die without having instant coffee again - even properly prepared - it will be too soon.

Check the Declaration of Independence. You'll find the 'u'. Noah Webster was a dick.

Monolithic announcement about monolithic project to reinvent a wheel.

Super-binaries were dead before systemd started eating everything around it, but it's got Plot Armour protecting it.

A year after we gave up our LJ4 - and just after its 20th birthday too! - we realized it was a mistake, and we bought a ln m404n.

The m404n is an Ethernet LaserJet monochrome printer.

It seems to work well so far, but I am concerned it'll act up if I find some alt-sourced toner.

The facility will be built, owned and operated by Island Health.

Woo! No public-private embarrassment, and no mercenary care.

20 no-French years since college and whatever french I had is gone. Helped in the army, though, as in the west the sargeants assume everyone's anglo scum.
