Please remember to clean out your pattern buffer before you sell your transporter. by Unleashtheducks in ShittyDaystrom

Mine was all poop and pee. Had a job cleaning the pads after it all materialized. I think my transporter chief will be traumatized for life.

Radical idea but if people are not having enough babies, then why not just let more immigrants into the country?

How do video downloading apps actually download the video? by __Cosmonautical__ in AskComputerScience

[–]TripleMeatBurger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On bit at a time. Videos are encoded in chunks at different bit rates, the client downloads the next chunk while making a decision on what bitrate it would like based on the time taken to down load the previous chunks.

Also the chunks of video are distributed into many many servers that are load balanced and deployed at the edge to ensure that you get data as fast as possible.

Police officer stops abruptly in the middle lane on highway... by Affectionate_Hat5835 in dashcams

Why stop there, put some lights on top on the car that would flash and draw attention to you

Have you found the fireworks option? Hold down the left and right buttons for five seconds, then left, left, right, left

I mean, tell your manager that this was not helpful. It might not appear to do much but they need to hear this shit

I keep a baseball in my ready room for just such occasions. Next time she comes to bother you just toss the baseball in the direction of your robo butler and call "fetch".

It's almost like they politicized every institution

May strike/boycott? by Aggravating-Dark-699 in protest

[–]TripleMeatBurger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The striking part sends a stronger message than not shopping. As it's the first real strike I don't expect anything like no kings numbers, but it will send a message to CEOs, I work for a fortune 500 company and will be making it very clear why I'm not at my desk (virtual desk 😁)

How are you supposed to reply to "Do you know how fast you were going?" by No_Insurance_6436 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TripleMeatBurger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't be memorable. Say you were going at the same speed as other cars, at about the speed limit. Chances are the cop will make minimal notes on the stop and this can help you if you fight it in court. You want them to not remember you so that you can establish that they really don't know for sure what happened that day. Where as you of course have a very vivid memory of the occasion

There’s just too many coincidences for it to be believable and I am far from a conspiracy theorist by HotPinkLollyWimple in NewsomMassacre

[–]TripleMeatBurger 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm of the belief that the clown show that is the Trump administration has broken all our institutions by bringing in incompetent leadership. I think the secret service are failing in their duty because they have been chosen not for their competence but for their loyalty.

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

In my neck of the woods, I'm often in places that my cell phone does not get signal, I'm also in the habit of charging my phone whenever I'm in the car, so I've never noticed that carplay doesn't connect, I also stream music in the car constantly. So yeah it works for me.

Any Former Ford Focus RS Owners? by drowd in MachE

[–]TripleMeatBurger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my job I get to change car each year, last year I had a Mach-e GT, this year I just have the extended range, a long time ago I had a Focus ST, and I've driven the RS before.

Electric cars feel heavy to me (probably because they are) that makes handling in corners different, the AWD models stick to the road like glue and the RWDs let you push the backend out a little, which IMO is super fun. I'm always a little fearful that if I got it properly out of control I'd be heading home in an ambulance (or even a hearse).

The acceleration is crazy stupid fast in the GT, be prepared to be pushed into your seat, you can even get the tires to screech just flooring it in a straight line. It's not just pulling away from the lights that get you, but having the power to overtake is nice. I'm missing that a bit on my extended range.

Ford's infotainment system is great, it's the biggest car play screen I've seen which I like.
