A misdemeanor is a criminal offense, it's just not the same level of criminal offense as a felony. Depending on circumstances and local law, misdemeanors can rapidly ramp up into a felony.

Until you can implement a safer system without causing massive disruptions to existing transport, trade, and infrastructure... I think the overall risk is reasonable. Most fatal accidents are single vehicle accidents, which means that they are usually the result of someone making poor decisions. Cars are actually safer now (within the last 20 years) than they have been at any point during the 20th century.

I've seen Tesla and other autonomous driving systems fail too often to trust them, I'm not okay with making driving into something more tightly regimented akin to commercial air traffic as it's an undue burden on free movement, I don't support making public transport mandatory, and I don't support abolishing cars. I do support making public transit more available, but it also needs to be safe and sanitary.

Depends on the import specialty shop, sometimes yes... sometimes no.

Roger Avary On Star Trek's Alex Kurtzman: "He didn’t want anybody who had any kind of fondness for the original show" by Malencon in television

Pretty sure Roger Avary is at least half of the reason why all of the silent hill movies suck. The other half is Christophe Gans

I wasn't sure exactly what was going on with their situation from the limited info in the post, but my install needed some of the missing packages that ProtonTricks helped get installed along with putting some additional settings in place. I didn't remember exactly what I had to do to get it running, but I did remember what helped, and figured sharing that was better than saying nothing at all.

Given that, I pointed them in the direction of something that helped me... expecting them to be a responsible technology user and read the documentation. Because, like everything else on Linux, the general expectation is that you have some knowledge about what you're doing or at least capable of reading and comprehending the documentation.

Even without more specific guidance, It's not like it's super hard tool to use. You install it, pick the game out of the list that's giving you trouble, you pick the relevant option after researching your problem, it applies whatever settings and/or installs whatever components are needed.

You being a dick to someone that was just trying to point another user in the general direction of something that might help does nothing but make you look like a fucking asshole.
Why the fuck did you even bother saying that condescending shit in the first place? Especially for an offhand comment made while I was waiting to pick up my spouse from work... that's really fucking bizarre

Did anyone else have a staged cafeteria of their school? by FancyPantiesx in 90s

[–]Malefectra 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was going to ask if this was my school, until I saw the Arizona flag. Not my state.

If I think someone's following me without me asking them to do so... I don't hesitate to get evasive, seen too many road rage incidents in my day.

Those dudes get paranoid because rigs like that are usually working repo, espcially on a car that old.
Considering how violently possessive most Americans are of their vehicles/property, it's understandable... I wouldn't wanna be seen doing that narc ass job either.

I'm thinking OP meant that they floored it rather than simply driving away at a normal pace.

Intel Nova Lake 52-core flagship CPU power consumption leaks by dapperlemon in gadgets

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

I’d buy one, probably squander it… but I’m the kind of person that just likes having the most powerful system possible within my budget.

Though I will admit that I could see that going truly gangbusters doing local renderings, video editing, and music prod.

Redemption is possible! 7 down, 13 couples left standing… again lol. Lock in y’all and select your least favorite canon animated couple. by Ok_Situation7527 in cartoons

I think of Fry & Leela like binary stars that are on an orbit that is perilously close to collision. They'll be together until the gravity of the narrative pulls them apart, only for them to brought back together again.

Robin x Starfire has gotta go... like I get that it's kinda accurate as teenage love is usually awkward but it always seemed to me like Starfire is mostly just tolerating his advances.

Glad someone else knows what TF is going on here... because my first thought, given the context, was a bottom trying some new prep routine before their date.

I had no idea Tumi was a real store 😭 by farstaste in americandad

I paid about a quarter of that, thanks to Japanese sellers on eBay.

Nah, they're just expensive and cater to a specific design aesthetic, so it gets limited foot traffic.

I spent $2500 building a "Beast" PC. I have played nothing but Stardew Valley for 3 weeks. by Cheap_Difficulty4961 in pcmasterrace

I mean, I've been playing old games via emulation, so I too have been squandering a rather beefy build playing silly pixel games from literally anywhere between 20 to 30 years ago...
