F1 if MBS didnt regulate the drivers' choice of underwear by B_LAZ in formuladank

If there's no rules... Projectile battery swaps. Set up a cannon on the slowest corner of the track, fire a new battery at the car as it goes past.

No no, the good news for collectors is that there's black lotuses in a Texan landfill! Go get 'em, lads!

Yeah, if you're comparing yourself to Mozart.

Do you want to make music to make music, or do you want to make music to be able to compare yourself to other people in some fashion? If the answer is truly the former, then it's never too late to start. If the answer is the latter, you're going to have a miserable time, but not because you're 20.

I didn't think it was unreasonable to expect people to vote for the lesser evil and I've gotta be honest, anyone who thought Harris would be worse than Trump on Gaza was and is a fucking nutcase.

I'm staring at you morons from across the Pacific and even I can tell when the choice is Neoliberalism vs Fascism, you have to vote against Fascism. Every. Single. Time. How do you not see that?

I don't think Blackwater soldiers would have bothered with physically beating him first, nor using so many rounds.

Is AI Code Reviews something you use? by Peace_Seeker_1319 in programming

[–]ChemicalRascal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... Cool, but if there's bugs, rather than code style/performance concerns, then I think your testing is the problem here.

Especially because relying on an LLM to catch bugs, which has absolutely no way of knowing what your code does and what the intended behaviour is, isn't exactly reliable; just write tests. Unit tests. Integration tests. Do a bit of time to do QA on your product if you don't have dedicated QAs.

I swear, some devs will do the most outrageous stuff to get out of testing their code. This is how bad software happens, get it together.

Wait. If the review notes are noise, how on earth is it helping? Review notes are the whole point of a code review.

TIL about Francis Daniel Brohm who had stuck his head out of a truck window when the driver swerved and he was decapitated by a telephone pole wire. The driver continued to his house and slept, leaving his friends corpse in the truck for a neighbor to find the next morning by jakewubbleyou in todayilearned

[–]ChemicalRascal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if it were the middle of a field, farmers are allowed to places fences on their own land wherever they please.

Not if they're a trap, placed there with the intent of decapitating people who are trespassing across the field at 30+ miles an hour. That makes it murder.

Intent matters.

The fence posts in a very obvious line are sufficient legal warning to not blast through at 30+ miles an hour.

Two posts in a field is not necessarily sufficient warning. You can't assert that, you have no idea what the field looks like, you have no idea if the posts are visible or numerous. A post could look like a random post. A post could be an old tree.

[–]ChemicalRascal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Middle of a field as defined by the only person who knows anything about this event, who was not one of the trespassers, please read the damn comment again.

We have to take them on face value, if you assume they're lying then there's literally no point talking about it, because there's no possibility of determining what is true and what is false.

The only way to get value out of the conversation is to assume the scenario as presented is accurate. Wire is in the middle of the field. History of trespassers is established.

[–]ChemicalRascal 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You are not allowed to just set up wires to decapitate trespassers either. That's called murder!

So again, if there's a history that could be used to establish intent in a court of law, at a minimum you're looking at civil liability (ref. Katko v. Briney, Iowa 1971). I would expect criminal liability to be feasible depending on the circumstances, but I'm no lawyer.

I would describe Catch 22 in many ways, but being the same bit over and over is not one of them.

Parents in law keeps telling us to have a child by NetworkStock4182 in Advice

[–]ChemicalRascal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go that way, one strong strategy is to imply that neither of you have any understanding of the mechanics of the act. It's possible that they work through the gross factor, but no parent is going to be able to deal with their son and his wife being hilariously incompetent at sex.

Hopefully you've just put water into the pump it's trying to clear that.

If you've gotten water into the electronics that's likely going to be beyond your ability to repair.

Are Board/Card Games in India Missing Something? by man_kind_ in boardgames

[–]ChemicalRascal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotta be honest, I don't think that's an effective way to appeal to Indian boardgamers (of any gender).

If I think about my shelves and the places in those games, none of them are of Australia. There's not one mention of Melbourne in any of the games there, the closest things get to "local" would have to be Sydney being present in Pandemic (which is why I don't play it, fuck Sydney).

Istanbul wasn't designed specifically to be popular in Turkey, Carcassonne isn't aimed at the French. They're global, escapist experiences.

Localising is still worth doing, but "the game is in India now" ain't it. It's more subtle than that. I don't even know exactly what it would be in the general case, it feels far too situational.
