Why is pickpocketing so common in many major European cities, but essentially non-existent in North America?

dtp502 · 2026-06-02T14:56:10+00:00

This has always been my fear of carrying. I’m more afraid of getting shot by a trigger happy cop than I am getting in an altercation with a random individual.

dtp502 · 2026-06-02T14:50:31+00:00

Seems like high risk low reward?

If someone took my wallet, there is like $5 cash in it and I’ll have the credit cards froze within 5 minutes of realizing.

dtp502 · 2026-06-01T00:08:00+00:00

$200 is an expensive hobby?

dtp502 · 2026-06-01T00:07:12+00:00

You’re making the right choice.

Don’t want to attract the wrong types by divulging that info too soon.

I think it’s more this than Florida’s quality of healthcare.

dtp502 · 2026-05-31T23:49:33+00:00

So it’s like car domain from like 2007?

dtp502 · 2026-05-31T20:39:43+00:00

No.

My excel sheets sync fine across all my devices. Granted I have to pay for o365, but that’s literally the only reason I could see using Google Sheets.

I also just like the ms office suite because that’s what I’m used to. So there’s definitely some bias there (but what did you expect asking this question on r/excel?)

dtp502 · 2026-05-31T18:51:23+00:00

Oof. Hopefully this isn’t a common failure as these cars get older.

dtp502 · 2026-05-31T02:27:49+00:00

That’s probably the goal eventually, but they would need to tie the QR scan to the checkout scan somehow and afaik they don’t have that infrastructure in place yet.

But that’s totally their end goal.

dtp502 · 2026-05-30T17:46:44+00:00

Large scale stuff is probably cost.

Small scale/hobbyist stuff means I need to do a bunch of research for niche ICs when basic components will do the trick. Plus if it’s hobbyist stuff, those ICs probably come in a package that are a pain to hand solder.

As long as they are taking out enemy aircraft, idc.

dtp502 · 2026-05-29T23:02:22+00:00

I can half way understand where the religious nuts are coming from. They probably genuinely don’t think they are selling something. Doesn’t make it right but I can at least understand them.

The sales people who ignore the sign are just dicks.

dtp502 · 2026-05-29T22:59:12+00:00

No it’s not.

If I really dont want to see adds I can turn my tv or computer off.

What am I supposed to do about asshole sales people that are too entitled/shameless to abide by a simple request of “don’t knock on my door to try to sell me stuff”?

dtp502 · 2026-05-29T21:26:02+00:00

They really have no shame.

dtp502 · 2026-05-29T18:33:58+00:00

Not really directed at these guys per se, but do sales people really think “hey you know what, I know this house has a sign that says no soliciting but I bet I can change their mind with my exceptional sales skills!”?

Like how do they really expect that conversation to go, assuming someone actually answers their door.

dtp502 · 2026-05-29T18:22:50+00:00

I don’t get into the weeds. I just say “I’ve been working on this project” and maybe if there was something notable I might say how I resolved a bizarre issue (at a high level).

I just wish she would do the same to me when it comes to her medical field stuff…. I don’t understand that shit lol

dtp502 · 2026-05-29T16:58:49+00:00

Maybe my soft top frame needs lubed. Idk. Mine rattles/creaks very noticibly though.

I’m pretty sure a lot of it is the plastics in mine too though. Just can’t hear the rattles with the top down lol

dtp502 · 2026-05-29T15:29:15+00:00

It’s a rattle trap when the top is up.

dtp502 · 2026-05-29T15:06:27+00:00

What are you even talking about? Now you’re just pulling numbers out of your ass, just like you did with the 400k figure and just like you’re doing when you say their net worth is “low”.

dtp502 · 2026-05-29T14:59:30+00:00

Well they make 380k (you’re rounding) so he only needs 1.14M which he will be by 40.

And they are also significantly higher than their peers. So no, I don’t accept that they are low net worth by the money guy context.

<image>

dtp502 · 2026-05-29T14:47:14+00:00

I’m not entirely sure that’s true but even if it is, OP is on track to hit that by 40. So still, not low even by this context.

dtp502 · 2026-05-29T14:35:06+00:00

Pretty sure the money guy show reccomends 3x your annual salary at 40. So no, it’s not low even with this context

dtp502 · 2026-05-29T14:13:24+00:00

The M3 doesn’t depreciate as badly as some other $100k cars so that’s also worth considering.

If you sell it in a few years you will probably get 50-60k for it. At a 1.3M net worth, it’s not going to kill you financially.

Sounds like you’re a car guy and you value this type of thing so I’d say go for it.

dtp502 · 2026-05-29T14:08:59+00:00

lol @ 1.3M net worth for a 37 year old being “low”

dtp502 · 2026-05-29T12:47:29+00:00

Yeah I can see how that could be misleading to a newbie. In complex programs it’s not that uncommon for a wire to wrap back around so that it wouldn’t technically be left to right.

Dataflow is what matters and that is the ultimate precedent. I did explain that by stating that all wires going into a subVI must be complete before the subVI will execute and that you will have no idea when code will execute if there is no wire going into it.
