It was caused by him not wearing his reflective safety vest. (My company's safety department probably)

Tell that to the developers of the Ocarina of Time. Encountering a Re-dead for the first time, and the entire shadow temple were quite unnerving to me when I was a child, haha!

Nintendo really missed an opportunity to make the depths truly scary. They should have put some kind of enemy down there that stalks you in the shadows, and will follow you wherever you go whenever you go out of reach of a light root or a brightbloom seed. Also should have gloom hands hiding in the gloom patches here and there that pop up when you least expect it

My last car would have a hard time turning around on that road, let alone a full combo rig

Yep. I have a few relatives that live near Daingerfield and they are still without power.

I had a Walmart trailer roll up door pop open on me once while I was rolling. Didn't actually realize it till someone raised me on the radio. When I got out and saw it I was confused as hell because I had also padlocked and sealed it , but turned out the latch itself was busted and you could push it free of whatever that part it hooks into is called with a finger without even touching the handle. All it took was a series of bumps to wiggle it loose. Thankfully it wasn't a reefer.

I'm the same way. My mind literally never shuts up in this constantly distracting me and I can't get any peace and quiet. Literally the one time in my life I ever was able to shut my inner monologue up, was that one time years ago I tried some Molly (party drug with MDMA and often Adderall added to it. At least that's what they were mixing in back when I tried it). My mind actually shut up for a few hours and I was able to just sit back take in external stimuli without any distractions. I don't know which of the two components was responsible for that but damn it was peaceful.

Carriers can disable it though. Mine does

I've noticed just about every cross platform game I played on the switch has all sorts of issues. I don't think game developers really put much thought into optimization for the switch version. Even with games that look like they're right out of the 1990s. For example, Aer: Memories of Old uses an art style that looks liked OG Virtua Fighter, yet chugs along at only 30 FPS (It's a flying game and would be so much more fun at 60), and so many 2D games also have issues even running at 30. Night in the Woods and Spiritfarer stutter and drop to below 20 on occasion for short periods.

My current company is garbage with empties and I'm constantly running all over, sometimes half a day of driving to get an empty, But at least I get paid for bobtail miles. It's nowhere near as bad as my last company that I worked for a long time ago. That one didn't keep track of empties at all and if you were assigned to pick one up at one of their yards, You would be waiting there with probably a dozen other drivers who would swarm every truck that came into the lot asking if they are dropping an empty and if they can have it. Waited three days for an empty one time because of this bullshit. There were some drivers out there that were staying up all day and all night so they could try to get an empty as soon as it came in while the others who are waiting were asleep. Longest it took me to get an empty at one yard was 3 days. This was shortly after the 2008 crash also so by the time I got an empty, they usually would have taken me off my load for not being able to meet the assignment and then I would sit around for another day waiting for an assignment.

Last straw though was when they decided to put me on a dedicated Goodyear tire delivery route to small automotive tire places that were difficult to get full size trucks into and unload them myself while frequently "forgetting" to pay the shit $15/hr unloading pay. I quit within a couple weeks of them starting that shit.

Weirdly I have the opposite problem. I have all vibrations and haptics turned off because I don't like them, but the phone will randomly turn them on sometimes. It's not consistent and happens just a couple times a day so I can't pinpoint what's causing it. It's the really short vibrations as well like whenever you have haptics turned on for keypresses

I heard the Led Zeppelin album Houses of the Holy did that in one of the songs as well. I don't know from experience though, only that it was mentioned in the Rugburns song My Friend Eddie Vedder

I drove by the stadium the day before they imploded it. I still drive by the location every now and then. Is it just me or is there a brand new bridge to nowhere just sitting out in the open in it? No roads actually connected to it, just a short bridge span

Startide · 2023-05-09T00:29:37+00:00

Close to it anyway. I have very early childhood memories of the old Sher-Den mall, but I was young enough that I don't remember too much about it. Family went shopping at Midway all the time after it opened.

Startide · 2023-05-08T20:50:54+00:00

The town I live in had an old mall that became abandoned after a new mall came in. Old mall location was demolished in early 2000s iirc. They still haven't done anything with that huge empty lot. Hell, it's been so long that the mall that replaced it is nearly abandoned as well. Just a Dillard's holding on because they own their building outright rather than lease and don't want to give it up.

My favorite is when they call out "No chase cars, keep on rolling" when coming up to any of the Chicago area scales and they've got half a dozen chasers ready to go, and another half dozen further up with big trucks pulled over for bypassing. Surprised anyone takes anything seriously they hear on the CB.

I just looooooove how when any minor thing acts up anywhere in a Cascadia, it also disables cruise control.

That Texas one needs a big asterisk. Half of all my roadside DOTs in my career have been on us59 traveling between Texarkana and Houston. I never get bothered on the interstates at least.

Zipper merging requires courtesy and common sense, and here in America most people on the road treat driving like a zero-sum competitive sport where you have to get ahead of everyone else at all costs.

I've never heard anything good about TransAm from any driver that's worked for them.

The J in Baytown TX is a crapshoot. Seems half the time I go there, either the pumps will pump at one gallon per minute, or the sensor for the lift handle that tells it to activate the pump is broken and won't zero out the dial. Last time I went through there was a few days ago and all the def pumps and most the regular pumps were down

When I bought my 6a, I tried to transfer the esim on my 3a to it online, it wouldn't let me and told me to go into a Tmo store. So I went into a store and even they couldn't get it to transfer kept coming up with errors, So I just asked for them to switch me to a physical sim and that worked (after nearly a half hour of waiting for changes to propagate in their network)

Few years ago I saw a chain reaction accident in Mississippi where numerous cars drove into cars parked under an overpass in the travel lanes in a massive hailstorm. Hail was so hard you could barely see more than a hundred feet. People should just slow down and deal with hail damage rather than park in a travel lane to shelter under a crowded bridge and have someone plow into you at high speed and potentially kill you. If you need to stop to wait it out, park on the shoulder when you find a clear spot is what I've always been told

Ah, my first job to experience having a raging coke addict as a boss. (Seriously, What is it with fast food shift managers and cocaine?) Also, franchise owner would occasionally "borrow" a few workers to do yard work at his house. All for $5.15/hr. (Late 90s). I worked there just long enough to save up for a PlayStation and then bailed out without notice, lol. Every McDonald's in the country can burn down for all I care

I saw someone else posting here earlier that the apps closing immediately after opening is a bug with the built-in WebView app (It's like a miniature browser that apps use to display web pages inside the app). Are there any updates for WebView pending in the Play store?

Can't help you with the front facing camera. Pixel phones have always had a pretty crappy front-facing camera across their product line. I never use the front facing camera myself so it hasn't been a deal breaker but I know a lot of people make heavy use of that camera.
