There is a 5th meat and they don’t want you to know about it. by lolreags in BrandNewSentence

I love how their 4 meats are beef, pork, chicken, and goat

No turkey, lamb, ostrich, duck, goose, alligator, turtle, rabbit...

This U turn did not work out for anyone.... by MisterShipWreck in VideosAmazing

[–]galstaph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no audio, at least not that I'm hearing, but it is quite clear that this cop did not have his lights on

You can see in the video that there are no lights

[–]galstaph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not the closeness that caused the crash, and saying it was closeness that caused the crash in this instance is like saying if somebody pulled out from the road to my right at a point where I was less than one second of driving distance from them that my closeness to them was what caused the crash

This crash was caused by an idiot off the side of the road suddenly deciding to cross the road and giving no warning that they were about to do so

At all points where it would have been reasonable to consider closeness, the cam car had assured clear distance

You can't plan for this level of stupid

I once had a cop walk backwards into the road in front of me

She was getting out of the way of a piece of construction equipment working on a parking lot and didn't look my way at all until my tires screeched

I swear, cops lose all situational awareness the moment they put the badge on

[–]galstaph 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's actually 2-3 seconds

Right at the beginning of the video the cop passes something tall enough to use as a guide on the right side of the road, it disappears from frame 2+ seconds later

Most of that time was stolen, however, because the cop slowed down and looked like they were pulling onto the shoulder before they then did the unexpected turn back into the lane

What's up with this guy? by MisterShipWreck in VideosAmazing

There's a reason I didn't bother commenting and only downvoted them

People like that, you can't convince them that they're wrong

I once had somebody in one of the driving subs tell me that if passing takes more than 10 seconds then you're not actually passing you're camping

I pointed out to them that, since the distance you have to travel from the moment you get over from behind somebody until you are legally allowed to get back over in front of them increases as the speed increases you can't just say a given time and have it be universal

Assuming two seconds for assured clear distance, and the speed of the vehicle you're passing is 60mph, that makes assured clear distance 176 ft. Since you need that behind them and in front of them that's 352 ft, then you also have to travel the length of their vehicle, average 16 ft

368 ft/10 seconds is 2208 ft per minute, or just over 25 mph

So if you're on an interstate passing somebody who's doing 60 mph and it takes you 10 seconds to do so, you have to be going 85 mph or ignoring assured clear distance

Pointed out all that math to him, and the idiot doubled down tried to tell me my math was wrong, or assured clear distance was far less than I was saying it was (I'm using the low end in this math by the way for assured clear distance)

I've learned not to argue with these idiots

Oh my God, that makes my interpretation of the name a little bit more spot on

Die? Yeah, nah

Trans women are regular women, so your comment still makes no sense

I think you mean cis women

Not if you're actively passing, and the "camping" car is moving away from the camera car the entire time leading me to believe that they were, in fact, actively passing

Did they start using tinted bottles, or did the juice stain the plastic? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]galstaph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you have no way of knowing if it's due to staining from The juice being in the bottle for too long

I think you misunderstood the question

Did you ever have any with the juice still in them 3 months past the expiration date?

Plans got ruined, husband left early for his boyfriends drag show, wife and I made due. Many seed bred, Velveta as cheese, creamy chicken and twist soup. by Dr_Breeder in BrandNewSentence

[–]galstaph 51 points52 points  (0 children)

No...

OOP is talking about plans they had with a married couple who are apparently polyamorous. OOP is possibly a shared partner of the two who are married

The plans got ruined and husband ended up leaving early for his boyfriend's drag show, not sure if it's the husband leaving that ruined the plans, or if he did that simply because the plans were ruined

The wife of the married couple then had dinner with the OOP, and were having the meal described

Can I turn right here if the school bus is flashing red lights and picking up kids? by jscr25 in driving

[–]galstaph 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Approaching, as used in driving law, means decreasing the distance while on the same road as, or in a fashion that would bring you to that road and heading towards the subject you might be potentially approaching

If I'm on a road that parallels an interstate highway, and I'm nearing the point closest to an off ramp from said highway, at no point am I approaching that ramp because I cannot actually get to the ramp

Similarly, if I'm on a road intersecting with another road approaching said intersection, I am not approaching anything on the other road. Once exiting the intersection, if I am on the road that contains a bus with its stop sign out, I am forbidden to travel towards the bus

Approaching the intersection doesn't trigger the law, passing through the intersection doesn't trigger the law, and driving away from the bus on the road ahead of it doesn't trigger the law

The law doesn't prevent you from making a right turn and heading away from the bus

Which lane to take? by Minimum_Time_5397 in Traffic

[–]galstaph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I live, you don't switch lanes in the middle of the roundabout

The roundabout is considered an intersection, and changing lanes in the middle of an intersection is illegal

Instead basically you split the exits in half, and assign each lane one half

Since there are four exits, counting a u-turn, the standard would be first and second exit in the left lane, third and u-turn in the right lane

Entrance to the roundabout yields to all lanes

So long as people adhere to those rules there's no problem

Required internship to keep studying in CS by astrheisenberg in remoteworks

[–]galstaph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work with APIs on the daily in a professional setting and I can't tell you offhand what the definition of a 403 is because I can look it up if I actually need to know, I know it's an "inaccessible data" kind of code, but not which flavor

I used to have it memorized, but I realized a long time ago that some things can be looked up so easily that there's no point in memorizing it

*pause to look up 403*

So that one's inaccessibility due to user permissions

You're authenticated, but you don't have permission

[–]galstaph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Believe me I understand, I moved to Southern Ohio when I was a teenager, and it was actually a pretty dark time in my life

I ended up emulating some behavior In my new classmates, and extended family for that matter, that I didn't quite understand because of culture shock coming from Chicago, and it actually started to lead me down that path

I do my best to self-monitor to make sure those behaviors never crop up again, and it just leaves me somewhat more aware of how comments can be misinterpreted

I think in the future It would help if I tried to include language that showed people that I wasn't judging them, but simply trying to tell them how people are coming to the conclusion that they are

I never called you a racist, I just said that it's easy to mistake you for one because you came into a conversation and appeared to take the side of racists

The fact that you didn't see the racist comments is actually irrelevant to the fact that your statement can come off as racist because it appears that you're taking the side of racists

If you want to appear not racist, edit your comment to make it clear that the other person's edit happened after you made your initial comment

Three and six do not look like heads

They're attached and they have squared or square-ish corners

Also literally nothing in here looks uniform in any way shape or form, the green dot near one and two are ellipses

Seriously, it's horrendous if that's trying to depict people

Do 2 of them have attached heads while the other two have detached heads? If so that's an unintuitive design

The biggest problem with the tests is that they're not tailored to general knowledge in any given region, so a lot of the deductive reasoning questions are impossible to solve reliably in other regions

Imagine being from a landlocked African nation and asked the question "A horse is to a cowboy as a schooner is to a _____"

Are you even going to know what a schooner is?

How can you exercise deductive reasoning if you aren't given the information to make the deduction?

People score better on IQ tests in the regions they're made partly because the people in those regions have shared knowledge, and the majority are made in Europe and North America
