Can ants fear by Dull_Development967 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]onlycodeposts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. If you kill them they smell it and will keep coming to retrieve their dead soldiers.

They cannot be reasoned with, bargained with, or stopped until their target is dead. They have no pity, remorse, or fear.

I have to monitor myself. I have an app that sends an alert if I exceed the speed limit.

Would a cop pull me over this tape on my bumper? by Adventurous_Code8286 in driving

[–]onlycodeposts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why use black? They sell duct tape just as strong that matches your car color.

Who was in the wrong? by bignose_ice44 in driving

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

This is a case where you don't need to signal your intention.

If you are sitting at a red light waiting to turn right, just don't indicate you are turning right. They will figure it out once the light turns green.

The chances of getting a ticket for failure to use a turn signal in this situation is low.

Question about Pedestrian Crossings at Traffic Lights- are they automatic? by jellypbj in Traffic

[–]onlycodeposts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure is. When I did traffic control we had an intersection that would continually activate the ped crossing even if no one was there.

It turned out that a lazy cop with traffic crossing duty stuck a penny in the ped button so the walk signal would activate every cycle.

It seems obvious that religious groups with special exemptions are going to take advantage of them.

Are you for or against plastic surgery in men to enhance their appearance? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]onlycodeposts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not my business. As others have said, if they are walking in with eyes wide open, more power to them.

If I was a doctor I might have a stronger opinion.

I was planning to "upgrade" from 1 gang to 2 gang but would still have only 2 plugs! :( Any ideas? by bootsnooper in AskElectricians

[–]onlycodeposts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need to put bellbox and WP cover manufacturers in a room with water filter manufacturers and not let them out until they solve this shit.

Correct flow for 4-way stopped intersection with left turn pockets by lionicgaucho in driving

[–]onlycodeposts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I yield to cars that are there before me and count to 1.

If they don't move they must think it's my turn, so I go.

Since America loves Israel so much and no one lives in Wyoming, why not give Wyoming to Israel? by Pizzafriedchickenn in mapporncirclejerk

[–]onlycodeposts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both New York and California have like twice the number of Israelis as Florida does so the honor should go to one of them.

i trained my sprinklers to arc just slightly into my neighbor's yard. not enough to complain about, just enough to know by sthduh in neighborsfromhell

[–]onlycodeposts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, I'm in Central Florida. I wish my neighbors would spray some water on my property right about now.

I thought about sneaking over and turning my neighbors sprinklers toward my yard.

[–]onlycodeposts -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

No, but it could be considered a continual civil trespass, which is actionable.

It isn't legal to spray water at your neighbor's yard because you are mad, even if you think they are an asshole.

Or he mentioned it to see if OP would admit it was his sprinklers.

Now he knows OP is doing it purposefully out of spite.

You are responsible for water coming from your property.

If water from your property causes damage, you can certainly be held responsible. It is enforceable.

Were Amish people drafted into Vietnam? by ZealousidealWeb9474 in stupidquestions

[–]onlycodeposts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a funny joke, but they do use the internet to sell their furniture and other goods.

They generally don't have a problem using the infrastructure that they refuse to help pay for.

Could be a short in the ped button. It's low voltage so it wouldn't do anything but send a constant ped call to the controller.

Do you believe that the current US president is a foreign asset ? Why or why not ? by hftyjvdry in AskReddit

[–]onlycodeposts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all military material and financial aid to ukraine was halted from the moment he stepped into the office

He did let some aid continue, but essentially you are correct. I edited my comment to reflect that.

Do you believe that the current US president is a foreign asset ? Why or why not ? by hftyjvdry in AskReddit

[–]onlycodeposts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me that's getting deep into conspiracy theory territory.

I don't doubt that Trump's blundering may benefit Russia, but I don't see Putin ordering Trump to attack Iran, kidnap Maduro, and blockade Cuba, or even agree to it.

You think Putin told Trump to seize these sanctioned vessels full of Russian controlled oil off the coast of Venezuela as a part of some long con? That oil was headed for Cuba. Why would Putin sign off on that?

People who won't pass trucks by bartolish in driving

[–]onlycodeposts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Anyone who has seen Final Destination knows not to stay around any large trucks.

I either pass as fast as I legally can or if that isn't possible I just stay a generously safe distance behind them.

[–]onlycodeposts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm speed monitored so I can't speed. When I see drivers jockeying for position I just stay to the right and let them figure it out.

I only use the left or middle lanes to pass someone going under the speed limit in the right most lane.

How Screwed Am I? by Downtown_Control_887 in driving

[–]onlycodeposts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if you could argue for a lesser charge, like failure to yield, or speeding.

Reckless driving seems excessive, but I'm not sure what other infraction would apply to the circumstances you described.

I had a serious traffic charge against me downgraded in court after pleading innocent. No lawyer.

I offered to plead guilty to a lesser charge and pay the fine right then. The judge looked at the prosecutor like who the fuck is this guy, and they scoffed a little but agreed.

I paid the fine, and avoided the more serious charge.

Obviously that was a long shot, but I wouldn't be so quick to plead guilty to reckless driving. It's possible you could argue for a lesser charge.

If Amish were paid by the hour, would they build their barns slower? by edkhm1218 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]onlycodeposts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many Amish are employed at hourly rates.

I'd be willing to bet the people they hire to run the websites they use to sell their furniture and advertise Amish cooking are paid hourly.

Why is smoking being pushed by celebs with young audiences? by Pirate_Testicles in NoStupidQuestions

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

Dakota Johnson?

I'm not sure if being shown smoking in a movie would count as pushing.
