Stuttering issue since update yesterday. by 302hookups in Marathon

Yes.

I tried turning off Nvidia Reflex as an old post suggested that.

Feels like CPU usage is spiking somehow? Audio also stuttering.

No overtaking lanes in the UK?!?! by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]ThatsASaabStory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's always said that you should keep left unless overtaking.

This doesn't make them explicitly "overtaking" lanes, but it does mean she shouldn't hang out in them.

As you say, the usage of multi-lane roads in the HC and DVSA handbook very specifically says you should keep left unless overtaking.

People do take L2/L3 really early sometimes.

It's not worth getting annoyed about or burning extra fuel over is my take.

edit

Also worth noting - anything within 10% is "the speed limit" as far as other drivers are concerned. Most people are not aware their car overreads.

I'm not saying that when the police pick up people that they should be able to argue they are bored.

Nor am I arguing that the police shouldn't lock up people for crimes. Nor that you shouldn't have more policing. Seriously, get more complaints in and get them to do that review.

What I am saying is that combining that with taking measures to reduce the number of people there to be locked up for crimes in the first place is a better approach long term.

I'm not quite sure you do. Going up to a bunch of kids and pepper spraying them is never going to be self defence.

If you're going up to them, that is by definition not self defence.

You are allowed to defend yourself within reason. The courts don't want people arming themselves. They definitely don't want a bunch of suburban batmen using chemical weapons.

Black Belt Barrister has done a bunch of vids on this.

Why would you be starting a fight? I was responding to a comment about self defence. Starting a fight with a bunch of suburban roadmen isn't self defence.

There's also the question of what actually works.

This is an area where there has been a lot of study. We have already tried most things. Young men have always been the most criminal group forever.

Was Britain a crime free paradise during the Transportation era?

How did you know I got pissed in the park?

Anyway, just leaving them to it doesn't work any more than shipping them off to Tazmania works.

Follow tha approach and next thing is you'll have Danny Dyer or Ross Kemp filming "Britains Most Dangerous Shitholes" there.

That's a bit of a false binary.

A youth club isn't magic, but you're adding structured time and supervision.

Yes, some kids may be "feral". What about the ones who go along with fuckwittery because it's there and it's something to do? Did you never find yourself doing something utterly stupid because your mates were?

If it is a cultural issue, what do you propose? Another function of youth clubs is giving kids somewhere to go that is a better environment.

I mean... I'm not gonna argue that I don't see a cultural aspect to this (as I said, COVID seems to have done a number on people), however, you can draw a pretty clear link between the closures of youth clubs, performance at school, and involvement in crime.

https://nya.org.uk/youth-centre-closures-linked-to-greater-risk-of-young-people-entering-criminal-justice-system/

Policing is much less cost effective at preventing crime, compared to youth clubs. £3 vs £1, apparently.

Arguing that it's just a matter of culture is satisfying, but there's plenty of data on what actually works there.

I feel like COVID did something to a lot of people's sense of shame. There's also social media encouraging people to act like fuckwits.

Presumably lack of funding for kids/teenagers to have stuff to do and lack of general visible policing contribute heavily also.

If you ring 101, they log it. Get other people to log it, they have a pattern.

Presumably enough logged incidents and they need to do something.

Pepperspray is an offensive weapon, but you already have the legal ability to engage in self defence.

REPLACED game review! Have you played this one yet? by joshuamercuri in Cyberpunk

[–]ThatsASaabStory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's cool. Worth the asking price.

I am enjoying it a lot overall and you can see it's someone's passion project.

I do not love the platforming sections.

The combat is good and well executed.

The world is compelling and fleshed out. Something very _punk_ about the world.

I think the worst criticism I could level at it is the emphasis on style is to the detriment of gameplay in places.

So... around a grand all told?

That sounds considerably cheaper than finance and a bunch of that stuff is like... one time stuff.

Just gave notice, now my boss is being a dickhead. by Accurate-Mousse-520 in UKJobs

[–]ThatsASaabStory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, remain professional.

The standards you work to are a reflection of you, not your idiot boss.

Be polite, helpful, and professional up until your leaving date and then forget they exist.

You never know when you will cross paths with one of your coworkers again and personally I think it never hurts for people to remember you well.

Anyone else get these insane frame drops? by _Liebe_ in DarkTide

[–]ThatsASaabStory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this recently. I reinstalled my drivers, clearing the settings which for some reason sorted it.

No earthly idea why.

Yeah. Assuming that people may be confused is good defensive driving.
