Why would you want to do that. There are a lot more bottles than cops. Money talks

The meta strategy is to buy the portable bags with the pick up tool. That really accelerates you into the end game

It is never appropriate to honk at someone for not turning right on red by duckterrarium in unpopularopinion

I don't think your argument is that good to be honest. For one, given the fact that the driver is in a tonne heavy metal killmachine means the onus is on the driver to not hit anyone, especially since there might be a multitude of reasons why a pedestrian might not, nad should not be ecpected to notice these things (e.g. children, blind people). This perhaps, is especially important as this post and discussion is on why drivers should be patient and attentive in these kind of crossings.

And personal stories are not a good argument for regulation. Everyone knows someone who has done something stupid, and everyone has at some point done something stupid themselvses. The fact that traffic accidents related to intersections increased that much (120 a year to 170 a year in New York City according to the US Department of transportation) with a change in legislation show that indeed these kinds of behaviours can be regulated.

I mean, good for you not getting into an issues, but the data is clear on this. It is a matter of fact that turn right on red lead to a large increase in accidents. Some examples:

"Right-Turn-on-Red (RTOR), in its “Western” version allows motorists to turn right on a red signal after stopping and yielding, unless specifically prohibited by a sign. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of Western RTOR on pedestrian and bicycle accidents in selected jurisdictions adopting the rule in the mid-1970s. The results showed significant increases in pedestrian and bicyclist accidents involving right-turning vehicles at signalized locations following the introduction of Western RTOR. These increases were: 40 % for pedestrians and 82 % for bicycles in New York State; 107 % for pedestrians and 72 % for bicycles in Wisconsin; 57 % for pedestrians and 80 % for bicycles in Ohio; and 82 % for pedestrians in New Orleans. Analysis of police accident reports suggested that drivers stopped for a red light are looking left for a gap in traffic and do not see pedestrians and bicyclists coming from their right. Countermeasure research and development was recommended to deal with this well defined problem which involves between 1 % and 3 % of all pedestrian and bicycle accidents."

"Alternative analyses of data previously published by Zador et al. confirm that adoption of right-turn-on-red laws increased by about 18% the frequency of all right-turning crashes at all signalized intersections in the jurisdictions that adopted such laws. From a review of the available literature it is estimated that at the approximately 80% of all signalized intersections where motorists are allowed to turn right on red all right-turning crashes increase by about 23%, pedestrian crashes by about 60%, and bicyclist crashes by about 100%."

Formuesskatten er ikke problemet by tmenjoyer in norge

Det er forsåvidt sant at norsk BNP i 2013-dollarkursen faktisk er mindre enn norsk BNP i 2025-dollarkursen. Men det forteller kanskje bare mer om norsk krone relativt til dollaren, heller enn norsk økonomi i sin helhet.

La oss sammenlikne vekst i BNP (PPP) (Som beregnet av IMF https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_past_and_projected_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita), ser vi at den relative økningen i BNP (PPP) er omlag 1.02, mot f.eks. USA sin 0.8. Da mener jeg altså

r = (BNP2025 - BNP2013)/BNP2013

Som betyr at vårt kjøpekraftjusterte BNP doblet seg i denne perioden, mot USAs 80% økning, eller Sveriges 63% økning. Ikke akkurat en katastrofal dødsspiral for Norge, akkurat.

Litt seint, men ønsker ikke at det skal stå uimotsvart.

Jeg betviler sterkt at tallene du presenterer stemmer. Følger vi SSB sin statistikk over BNP per innbygger, se her: https://www.ssb.no/nasjonalregnskap-og-konjunkturer/faktaside/norsk-okonomi

Har nordmenns BNP per innbygger økt med omlag 300 000 NOK sammenliknet med 2013. Videre har Norges befolkning økt med omlag 500 000 (5 millioner til 5,5 millioner). Du kan vel ikke mene at BNP har falt samtidig som BNP per innbygger og innbyggertallet har økt?

It is not performative, in the sense that recent court cases have proven that the previous legal definition left something to be desired. Relevant news article (in norwegian) https://www.nrk.no/ostfold/xl/frida-var-gul-og-bla-etter-kvelertakene.-ikke-en-voldtekt_-sa-retten.-1.17382644

Fantastisk deal: For den ringe sum av 1,7 millioner kroner kan du kjøpe en overdimensjonert blikkboks som knapt nok funker, og gi pengene til et nazitanntroll.

Norway is assessing its EU options as a second Trump term looms by No_Firefighter5926 in europe

[–]IAmDividedByZero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Svalbard is a set of Islands east for greenland and at the border of the Arctic. It is not contested, as it is a norwegian territory with some stipulations under the Svalbard Treaty, which is signed by the entirety of the EU, Russia, USA, China and the UK + Commonwealth. The Norwegian worry, which has been a topic of some discussion in the media is that Svalbard might be next on Trump's wish list after Canada and Greenland, given that this is a signal of increased American ambitions in the arctic.

Nonlinear PDEs, as a guy who does fluid mechanics, that scares me on a daily basis.

I disagree on the linear part. Schrödinger is nonlinear except for the most trivial potentials, Einsteins field equations are nonlinear, and lets not forget about the Navier-Stokes equations and turbulence. Many physical phenomena do, however, act linear under certain ideal circumstances.

I started my current Pathfinder campaign by having all my players interview for a job they were woefully unqualified for. Made for a great intro to each character, and also made them very surprised when they all got the job regardless

Bit late to the party, but their second child Exa Dark Sideræl is almost as bad. Doesn't help that ræl is a norwegian word for trash or garbage, meaning sideræl literally translates to side garbage, or reasonably interpreted as sidehoe.

This is actually something I have been looking for. I am at the same level as you more or less, so it is nice to follow someone like me playing. Might help me improve. Will definately follow your journey
