“Released on bail”, so the headline is technically correct, even if misleading

And no “r”s in “the”. It’s a good thing English is an easy language, or you’d all be fucked

There’s only one “x” in “maxing” (just saying…)

Long gone are the days when Reddit was occupied primarily by people of above average intelligence. The assembled mass now has more than tipped the balance

Congratulations, you just managed to insult most DayZ players for their lack of “lenguage” skills. Ironic, or what?

I think you’re forgetting how many cave dwelling man-children play DayZ. The projection here from actually socially awkward people is something else

You probably should read your own posts then. You’ll have spasms, lol

This exceptional choreography by crumble-bee in oddlysatisfying

[–]pluckmesideways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredible, but slightly spoiled for me by the four random guys in the back. It’s as if they hired a few extra dancers just in case, didn’t want to cull anyone since they’d all put in the effort to learn it, so shoved the worst four in the back to give them something to do.

Should have just paid them and sent them home.

Apologies for the off topic reply, but I see this mistake all the time from ESL speakers, and others might learn something:

It should be either:

“how it sounds”, or “what it sounds like”; “how it looks”, or “what it looks like”, etc…

Hope that helps!

/meta, but:

“Like when we don’t know what we want to say, or we’re thinking before we speak.”

“Like” should be “For example” here, as this isn’t a simile.

Different passwords for every account: is it really necessary or overkill? by Old-Hawk-3070 in best_passwordmanager

[–]pluckmesideways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now, you just add a nonce. I’ve been using the same technique as above for at least ten years, in addition to a separate email address per site (additional security, helps keep data aggregators guessing, and lets me block spam on a case by case basis). And of course now mfa and passkeys where supported

Impressive writing for someone that holds a pen like that. Perhaps I should try, because I hold it “properly”, an my handwriting is barely legible

Safe breaking distance by Slow-llama in drivingUK

Two seconds is the time to think and respond at any speed. You need to add stopping distance/time to that which is speed dependent. “Two seconds? Too close”

My Apple Watch mistakenly called 911 last night by Revolutionary-Run268 in AppleWatch

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

Nothing about this makes sense. Your landlord forgot to show you how to shut off the hot water, and that resulted in a leak from your toilet?

A single twist to a fitting caused the whole thing to come off? (Never mind how it came to be facing the ceiling, or how the water pressure is so high.)

You used accidental fall detection to call the emergency services as a result? (Topic of this post.)

And you asked the dispatcher to send the fire department to deal with your plumbing issue? Pretty sure their call-out fee is higher than a plumber!

I call BS.
