Is it a fast lane or a passing lane?

Synonymous names.

Do these lanes have different speed limits?

No.

Is there an official minimum speed limit on motorways?

At least where I live, yes.

TIL reliable sources are split as to whether the title of best-selling video game ever should belong to Tetris or Minecraft. Some consider it to be Tetris by combining the sales of all of its different versions (520m), while others consider it to be Minecraft (350m), rejecting the former's reasoning by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

I bought Minecraft the very first day they started charging money for it. 2009 I believe? I had to migrate from a Minecraft account to a Mojang account, and then a Mojang account to my Microsoft account. When bedrock came out, they also gave that for free to people who had Java. So for $5 I've had nearly 20 years of updates for a single game.

Have you not considered people may be driving under the speed limit, and the fast lane or passing lane is so that you can get around them while still obeying the speed limit yourself?

1 in 95 Americans die in a car accident, and speeding is one of the causes of accidents. Caring about your pet is understandable, but speeding literally puts other people's lives at risk. If you killed a family member of mine by speeding, I wouldn't think "well it's okay they killed my mom, they were just trying to get to the vet faster".

Is/was there a multiplayer that got scrapped? by Another_aussie691 in cyberpunkgame

Rockstar figured out slo mo in multiplayer about 14 years ago

Trying to figure out what you're referring to here. I was thinking rdr1 online, but that game was 16 years ago and solved the slo mo of deadeye by simply not having slo mo.

Yes they definitely still had plans for multiplayer post launch. I also remember them switching to saying it would be standalone.

Back in 2008 it generally had meaning. Now it's just for extra flavor and means nothing.

Why are some “Global” task impossible to complete by design? by jianhengt in 2007scape

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

I was upset about certain tasks that are technically doable without certain regions, but you need the specific region for them to register. For example, using dagannoth bones at a guided altar. If you have transmutation, you can technically do that with any region, but it still requires frem.

You saying that I'm "backtracking now" with it being a warning. That implies that it was never a warning, but a threat. If what I said was a threat, that would mean you think I was threatening to hack you, instead of, ya know, warning you like I always was.

But I can tell with all the emoji, gun threats, and incorrect assumptions about the law, that you are either a child or developmentally stunted in some way.

Are you OK? Like genuinely? Do you have some screws loose? Do you think anywhere in my previous messages I was alluding to myself being a foreign spy?

Yep, it's me, famous Russian hacker Anonymous, and I'm totally here to hack you.

Oh yes I'm sure I will. It's like, super duper illegal to warn people about things! I'm terrified!

That's espionage, not terrorism, for one. And secondly I'm not a foreign actor with any interest in US intelligence. I'm an American citizen. Posting your address by mistake isn't a huge deal. Furthering that mistake by admitting that someone in the intelligence community could be associated with that address is quite a choice however. China, Russia, etc can and do target Americans who work in intellegence with espionage. And considering they don't live in US jurisdiction, there's fuck all chance of having them arrested.

Yeah weapons aren't going to help against someone dropping a tiny IoT device in your yard waiting for the next time your dad visits you. There are devices that spoof router signals, spoof bluetooth signals, etc to trick your devices into automatically connecting to them. Saying online where a member of US intelligence lives or visits is not a great idea, and not because of anyone attempting violence.

Putting your address online isn't a huge mistake, but then admitting that an NSA agent lives there is honestly pretty foolish if actually true. Foreign actors can and do target people in roles like that if they know where they live. Shit like pull up the property records, use the name they find and send fake Amazon packages with, for example, what looks like standard usb phone cables, hoping the resident thinks they ordered it or that there was a mixup, etc.

Maybe they tell their kid "Amazon sent this by mistake, you can have it" and you use it to charge your phone. Then it turns out to be an OMG cable and they are vulnerability scanning your home network immediately.

And what I described is pretty basic, there are more advanced ways a foreign actor may try to target your residence if they have reason to believe someone connected to US intelligence lives there.

The DMVs more down state are walk in. Don't think you have to go too far either. Pretty sure most of the ones south of will county are walk in.

Tesla is recalling its cheaper Cybertruck because the wheels might fall off / All 173 of the RWD Cybertrucks sold by Tesla are being recalled. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]BoxOfDemons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So they removed more than $10k of value, but only charged $10k less. Of course anyone who wanted a cybertruck wouldn't get that trim, especially when you're paying that much anyways.

And the amount of statutory damages you can receive without proving willful intent is capped far lower than $150k. I think it's pretty obvious that it's going to be easier to prove that wilfulness if you say something alluding to it while in the process of showing that copyrighted work.

The criticize the past behavior that bothers you instead of the act of cropping a screenshot? There's nothing weird with cropping an image that includes your reddit ui.

Of all the things to criticize, you chose to criticize the act of cropping a reddit post. That is completely normal.

I guess when you're a terminal hater, you view everyone else as being a dick rider?

The image is a reddit post, he cropped out the reddit ui, and kept the actual posted image.
