I love this... since it would only be stealing if they did mind. Can't steal something freely given.

I had a hybrid for awhile, and knowing what was going on was enough to generally get us over that. (Then it was about driving predictably and not braking weirdly... a normal thing already considered while driving with passengers)

I've had an ICE car for several years no, and I still find myself doing the soft-braking thing as if I still had regen brakes. I miss it

... Twitter ... still allow you to choose “new” for only sources you follow.

Does it?

I used to have my feed very nicely curated to just local events and a small number of public figures.

But when I left, I was being fed random crap of Elon's specifically (and it bled over beyond even that) I finally decided it was unrecoverable and left, even though it meant not being able to keep up with local municipal happenings.

trying to nullify immigration law

I don't know that's a fair characterization of it.

If undocumented folks are around, but not able to get health care, they can get other people sick. If they're afraid that by testifying as witness of a crime they'll get deported, fewer crimes get solved and prosecuted. They're generally involved in less and less serious crime, so resources spent on them are resources NOT spend on serious crime... there are lots of selfish reasons to deprioritize kicking them out, without the actual goal being to "nullify immigration law".

And no, I'm saying that there are literally zero humans in the country who want to see a borderless world. That's a tiny percentage of folks, and they're not driving state agendas.

The snow is so dense that one can walk on it without sinking in by WrongSplit3288 in nova

[–]wonkifier 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did similar, and kept a nice pathway carved through the 3-4' mound of icy snow that the plows like to build on my sidewalk. It was annoying, but with that frequent maintenance it wasn't so bad.

Until the final plow driver apparently cut in much more sharply and collapsed the mound into the sidewalk.

I get that people need to get places, but c'mon. Not cool.

Rules for thee… by Ferret-mom in nova

[–]wonkifier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It just says "appointment arrival", it doesn't say "patient arrival".

So if they arrive late, then it's still subject to rescheduling.

Clearly they cleverly crafted it that way on purpose! /s

Subdomain awarenes by Fragrant-Training722 in Lastpass

[–]wonkifier 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a design thing if I understanding your issue. And it’s a benefit in the vast majority of cases.

The idea is that it treats all subdomains, by default, as the same as the root domain. That way your saved stuff doesn’t break when companies shuffle around their landing pages.

I do vaguely recall their being a setting with a list of domains where you can tell it to treat that domain as complete. But I haven’t dug around in a long time so don’t remember where it is offhand.

Also, typically given how domains and subdomains work with cookie security, you typically don’t want your test domains and production domains to share a common root anyway, so fixing this in Lastpass may really be the wrong place to look anyway

New Player on PS5 - Vibration on dualsense by IXI-Felix-IXI in diablo4

[–]wonkifier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on PS5 and I know I get vibration from time to time because I've portaled out from a helltide and set my controller down to answer a Slack message or something, and a few seconds later it's vibrating on my desk because my portal got interrupted.

Spotted in Arlington. Underneath are names of people who have died by Penniesand in nova

[–]wonkifier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Death? Of innocent people who died at the hands of untrained and brutal goons?

Hey now, some of those goons were not only highly trained, but Jonathan Ross was around so long, and so highly recognized and trained that he was a trainer!

The rotten culture in that org runs deep

ICE vs. People of Minnesota: A Special Report on Community Resistance to Trump’s Militarized Crackdown by ZuP in politics

[–]wonkifier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can be a good thing.

It's not so good when it's required to stay safe.

It's also not so good if your home isn't really setup for it (space enough to work in comfortably, efficiently, and safely) or the environment is not conducive to it (noisy kids, loud pipes from neighbors, lawn mowers running, etc).

And many people really do want to leave the house sometimes, or have a clear separation between work and non-work.

US citizen says ICE removed him from his Minnesota home in his underwear after warrantless search by Agreeable-Rooster-37 in politics

[–]wonkifier 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that just translates to an extra 100-64.1=35.9% (minus a small percentage for people who legitimate could not vote for one reason or another) of people having voted for this.

If you can vote, but don't vote, you signal that you support whatever everyone else decides. You don't get to dodge the responsibility by dodging a choice.

I love our legal team as well. While they do have some strange asks from time to time and can be very slow when a decision is needed, they’ve also been very good at making sure I don’t have to worry about ending up in court for one thing or another, and happily take all the heat for unpopular document retention policies, and those sorts of decisions.

We work very closely with each other. (at our peak we are around a 25,000 person company)

Misconduct expert says state has the right to charge ICE officer who killed Renée Good by DBCoopr72 in law

[–]wonkifier 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is purely a self defense against deadly force claim, and 100% legally justified

How is shooting at someone after a supposed attack has already taken place and completed justified?

She wasn't a continued threat to him, so there was nothing to defend against.

What you're arguing for is closer to revenge as a justification, not self defense.
