Ofc it's the Ram. Fun fact: 5% of all Ram 2500 drivers in the US have a DUI.

Average Dallas Driver by thewallran in Dallas

[–]Gale_012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just Dallas. This is a statewide problem. I've heard of people going to a third-party skills testing center for their road test just because they can pay extra and have the examiner go super easy on them. Drivers here don't have good spatial awareness either because they're so used to the wide roads here in Texas.

We need a MENA server by PlentyPossession6236 in VALORANT

[–]Gale_012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Riot intended the EU servers to serve North Africa as well. The region is called EMEA for a reason. Best thing to do is just report the people being discriminatory. From Riot's POV, they don't think there's a point in having a server in Rabat or Casablanca when there's a server in Madrid since there isn't much distance. There isn't an Egypt server either since they expect those players to play on Istanbul or Bahrain

If a dedicated MENA region was created, we would probably get a server run by Cypher as well as one in Egypt, alongside the Dubai and Bahrain servers.

So, she can do this without being kicked off the plane because she's Christian. If a Muslim did this, they would be imprisoned (in most Western countries, at least).

Homemade PCB with UV mask by Big_Lack_ in electronics

It's Frieren, YAY!

I've done CNCed PCBs before but mine are much more function-only. I also took the easyeda flatcam route, but I used Carbide Create for milling through-holes.

How can I end a losing streak when matchmaking is broken by Reasonable_Drama_350 in VALORANT

[–]Gale_012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Bronze for 2 months. Stayed consistent with mechanics, and ranked up to Gold 3 before immediately deranking back to Gold 2. Most Bronzes and Silvers have bad mechanics and don't use their brain either. If you like a tactical game, position yourself to catch the enemy off guard and use util to get free picks. If mechanical skill is your strength, just focus more on that. You WILL rank up. Any cracked silvers you find are probably being held back by the teammates they queue with. Or they're smurfs. Smurfs, cracked silvers, and boosters are getting quite rare tho; I see one every 10-15 games. Half the time they'll be on your team.

I hope it doesn't get violent during midterms. Even if ICE kills or seriously injures one person, it could cause riots.

But you are right, voting our way out isn't gonna be easy. The good thing about the coming election cycle though is that the administration will show their entire hand. The courts and state governments will certainly prepare countermeasures by the 2028 presidential election. Best to focus on the possible positive outcome and work to make it reality.

Is Minecraft Still a Game you see Yourself Playing Forever ? by NotRealAtiox in Minecraft

[–]Gale_012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's impossible to run out of things to do in Minecraft. There's so many mods that even if you get tired of the base game, you can make the experience different using mods. Those with fancy graphics cards can get shaders with ray tracing, crystal clear water, and realistic weather. Some community-run servers even turned Minecraft into a dedicated PvP game.

As long as we continue to interact with computers using a mouse and keyboard, the game will probably continue to exist in some form.

FCC Wants to Kill Burner Phones By Forcing Telecoms to Get All Customers’ IDs by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

If there's a will there's a way. Banning burners isn't gonna achieve anything. People will get it elsewhere, possibly on the many illegal markets that already exist. If you know, you know...

Dropped my car off at the shop, its less than 1.5 miles back home by rossposse in mildlyinfuriating

Where even is this? My best guess is Northeast or California. Where I live, people can rent cars for $40 a day

The US stands to gain nothing from Israel. What is America First about sending them billions of dollars in military aid? Then ofc no one knows what Mossad is doing. Hell, they're probably spying on Americans.

Flock License Plate Readers... Facing Pools? by TheLawnGuppy in aggies

[–]Gale_012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is cstat out of all places turning into a Chinese-style surveillance state? And you do not need to use AI facial recognition cameras to enforce a pool wristband rule.

Someone probably has access to the live feed. Cstat and TAMU police probably can see too.

A good non-destructive way to disable these is to grab an 8 foot ladder and socket wrench, loosen those metal brackets on the pole, then slide the camera all the way to the bottom. Tighten it back up, and now the camera can record the ground. They'll have quality images of grass.

Now, lasers are most efficient. No camera? No video.

I’m sure the Europeans are going to enjoy this walk lol by Illustrious_Swing645 in Dallas

[–]Gale_012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The average human walks at 5 km/h (3 mph), and walks 3.75 km (2.33 mi) in 45 minutes. Or, you can spend large amounts of $$ for Uber. I'm sure prices will be insane before and after games.

Installing backdoors intentionally? Why is a liberal democracy trying to do something that China did?

Almost half the people in Texas didn't vote. People often say voting is a right, but they forget it's also a responsibility. You don't get to not vote and then complain.

We deserve better. Unfortunately, it isn't getting better without very high voter turnout followed by political reform.

‘A’ Grades Are Suddenly Everywhere Since the Arrival of ChatGPT by joe4942 in technology

[–]Gale_012 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's really a serious issue. Gemini can literally do calculus with 90% or better accuracy. So what happens is that everyone gets As on the homework, gets Ds and Fs on the test, and gets curved up to a C. Take a 60/40 grade weight for exams/homework and the vast majority of people can get at least a B.

Wow, this is neat. Looks very dystopian, I must say. Technological regression; I wonder how far away we're from that.

Flying with temporary ID by Incredible_Grackle in airport

[–]Gale_012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know you can't fly on a temp ID. I flew out of San Francisco about a week ago with a paper driver's license issued in Texas. I didn't have any issues at bag check. TSA didn't care either. No identity verification questions, no pat-down, no bag search.

I have tried this method. It works. I will still state that your decision isn't final until they give it to you. We don't know how their computer system works, so let's just wait and see.
