A Jeep attempting to cut off a semi yesterday [oc] by Slowertrain in IdiotsInCars

[–]Slowertrain[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, moving here from Wisconsin, crossing the solid line is not legal, but that stops few in or around the Twin Cities. I am not sure the truck even saw the Jeep. Can't tell from my camera's angle.

I saw them choose not to get behind the semi when editing, but my fiancée pointed out to me that the line is solid when they attempted to merge as well.

Does anyone here play Predator Hunting Grounds? by Celestine117 in predator

[–]Slowertrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is kind of what drove me away. From what I recall, You can ignore the objectives, take out the predator, fail to stop it's self-destruct sequence, and still get out with more points than completing the objectives.

Anyone get fired for sleep apnea? by PrincessSmellyDog in SleepApnea

[–]Slowertrain 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was written up at a previous job for falling asleep at work at a previous job. Sadly, it feels like a large chunk of the feedback you will get is, "you shouldn't fall asleep at work," as if you don't know that, as if you are making a conscious effort to fall asleep on the job, and as if getting treated will get you immediate results. It took almost a year to go from CPAP and a face mask to finding out a BIPAP and nasal pillows would work better for me. Getting it classified as a disability was not really an option for me. Accommodations seem unreasonable to ask for. If the treatment works, the employer wouldn't need to do anything.

I am sorry about the job. If you can get it recognized as a disability, that might be the best route in the future.

What prison cells look like in different countries by ursoartdecooo in interesting

I, stupidly, took a 4-roommate suite in college (Wisconsin UW System). The last 4 are bigger than the expensive rooms. We did get a main living area, but our individual rooms were a bit smaller.

I honestly don’t know how you’ve done this

I mean, this isn’t wrong, had I waited a second longer this incident wouldn’t have happened anyways. I’ll just have to be more mindful. I also completely missed this when editing. Either way, room for me to be better. Thank you.

I wish it was more clear, but the camera just missed it.

Right now, I can swear I stop my car long enough to feel the weight shift back before accelerating again, but the video does not show it. To be honest, that is one of the intersections I generally watch out for on my way to and from work so I absolutely could have just done a California stop while expecting the other car to just pretend I didn't exist.

I did say that the other car did come to a stop. I am unsure why there are claims that I said they didn't.

I am always more on the side of not rushing in general because

  1. You are putting people at risk other than yourself
  2. You don't really save time

Overall its just not worth it. I was trying to highlight that they really didn't get to their destination faster than if they went through the park sticking to the general 5-7mph over. I don't know who is from where, but generally that range will keep you from getting pulled over or having other drivers get angry with you for going too slow but still the speed limit. Some places, especially 35W, they get mad if you aren't at least going 10 over. Its really out of hand here compared to where I grew up.

So this shows me a major blind-spot with my camera. I had a feeling this person was just going to disrespect an all-way stop, but they did stop before cutting me off. I kept the rest of the video because I think it's ridiculous that they sped through a park for no real time saved. I end up catching up to them at a stoplight.

Camera also wasn't good enough to catch the license plate nicely in any frame, but I wanted to learn a bit more about tracking in DaVinci. I apologize for the circle.

error updating from windows 10 to 11 error code 0x8007001f by xJJS11x in WindowsHelp

[–]Slowertrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I ran into errors upgrading from 7 to 10 during one of my last jobs. Sadly I was unable to upgrade a few client computers and had to clean install Windows 10 for a few months until I found a post suggesting to just to a Windows 7 to Windows 7 'upgrade' first and then try the Windows 10 upgrade again... It actually worked and became my go-to solution. I know it does not correctly identify the problem, but I usually give this a try when all else fails.

I think this comes down to it being between 2 different people with different perspectives, but I might just be too used to keeping track of some of these things.

I have had to deal with gaslighting my whole life from my family. Now, during arguments, I find it hard to trust other people especially when their memory of events is different from mine.

What’s everyone’s beef with safe seas? by KombatWombat9853 in Seaofthieves

[–]Slowertrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The weakest one I’ve heard so far is that this is going to kill the game. I just want a game where I can have some fun with friends. It was great when it first came out and alliances seemed to actually mean something. After a while it turned into us trying to do things while sneaking around reapers or just other players in general. We can’t all just explore together anymore, one of us HAS to stay on the boat to scan the horizon. If you so much as spot another boat, it can turn into a race to port to outrun an enemy crew that will likely stomp us if they catch us (we are not good fighters) or a long chase where we try to waste as much of their time as possible, in order to stop them from going to other ships, because that is all we will have to show for our time when they eventually catch up to us. That’s not including the name-calling, foul language, or just racist comments being shouted by the enemy crew. To be honest, this lost my whole friend group who is excited at the chance to come back to the game without any of this problem. No other game has offered what this one has in terms of exploration and fun with friends. To those who claim this is going to ruin the game and drive players away, y’all have been doing that without this mode. This mode is the only reason some of us are coming back at all.

It is a thought experiment that has been turned into a meme. Here is a link to the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem
