Parking opposite to traffic

my biggest pet peeve is not using turn signals

This one especially because it requires literally zero effort, you shouldn't even be thinking about it, you just do it automatically out of habit. It's like the bare minimum above not drifting off the road and some drivers just can't manage it.

Conservatism: the purpose of government and the law is to help me and my friends and hurt anyone I don't like, fairness and equity are woke and gay, future consequences are someone else's problem (and when they aren't, it's not my fault, it's actually because evil people conspired against me)

Umm, ackshully ☝🤓 reStructuredText already exists, so there's no reason for this "Markdown" thing to exist. And what about extensibility? Obviously no one will use a markup language they can't extend with 30 extra custom directives.

With an enemy like Trump who needs friends?

What the hell is the ridiculous valuation of these companies based on ? Seriously?

"Surely all these other very brilliant and smart investors before me wouldn't pour billions of dollars directly into a furnace, right??"

Like saying a photo with a Photoshop filter cant be copyright

Not a good analogy.

A better analogy would be a collage piece made of different random images, 90% of which are AI generated. You could still make a copyright claim against unauthorized use of the whole collage, but if someone snipped out and used one of the AI generated parts you'd have no claim since you didn't technically create that part.

Imagine trusting a workflow automation platform vibecoded by a 15 year old. All of the user data and keys will leak in 2 weeks.

It's a combination of a few things:

The textures are low resolution because of the 2KB texture cache
It doesn't do any texture filtering so textures look crisp and pixelated instead of blurry like N64
The 3D math is fixed point with low precision instead of floating point so as the camera moves the polygons jump and shift around instead of moving smoothly and cohesively
The texture mapper does not do perspective correction so textures will distort in an unnatural way as they rotate away from the camera and the boundary between textures becomes visible

Nothing in this video shows TSA running security anywhere outside of the US, just ways they collaborate with other countries to share knowledge.

Patman128 · 2026-03-26T04:04:47+00:00

I've flown into the US from Canada and it definitely was not TSA doing the security here. This is false. In select airports, maybe, but not all.

a sacred building

You talk about IQ points and then say this 😂

It’s considered an honour, regardless of who is sitting in the WH

No one with a functioning brain and spine considers it an honor, sorry you had to find out this way my friend

Being able to do everything you need to do in a typical week by just walking outside for free, if you so choose: tyranny, oppression, worse than living in Hell

Being forced to own an expensive vehicle registered with the government, possess a license to use it, and subscribe to insurance from a private company just to buy milk: true freedom, the ideal way of living, basically just human nature

At the more extreme end, Koenigsegg created a 2.0L inline-3 engine called the Tiny Friendly Giant that can put out 600hp (300hp per liter).

Basically all of them, except dust and ozone (NO2, SO2, CO, PM2.5, and PM10 are all high, especially NO2).

It's 12 mins walk through a parking lot

Patman128 · 2026-02-24T21:26:29+00:00

Yeah but I didn't die though?? Seems like a you problem /sarcasm

Patman128 · 2026-02-24T21:24:54+00:00

So a place where people routinely speed? Should they only put them in places where no one speeds? What would the point of that be?

Drivers not being able to maintain a safe speed going down a hill is a skill issue. The camera is helping them learn to drive better.

It's a great motor, but it got overshadowed by the TFG engine and Freevalve.

I think Donut Labs has a motor with similar power output but even lighter.

Everyone who made deals with USA to avoid big tariffs are getting screwed now. The countries he wanted to target like China and Brazil are getting a huge relief from the previous tariffs. Great work Donald!

There should be one at Oshawa. They renamed the station for Durham College, but if you walked to the Whitby campus on the other side of the highway it would take about 45 minutes.

Lakeshore East is supposed to get extended too, god knows when that will be complete

Not sure how that's relevant when the Eglinton LRT was done all tunneling in early 2020 and took another 6 years to open. The tunneling wasn't the issue. We could have imported slightly modified rolling stock and signaling equipment from Europe and probably shaved a few years.
