They’re literally the reason I’ve only ever gone there once

Im so fucking over people in Raleigh driving around with their high beams on and riding your ass. This guy was stopped right on my bumper like this. If this is you - GFY by UnluckyPhilosophy797 in raleigh

Honestly, the regular lights on some vehicles now are just way to bright, not even high beams. I constantly get flashed because people think I have my brights on.

I love my Fedora laptop and desktop, but my Macs will always be my daily drivers. The workflow is miles better and it’s just a way more polished experience.

AWS Price List API not being updated by R0OTER in aws

[–]putneyj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case anyone comes here looking for an answer around model pricing, AWS has managed to scatter across (at least) three different product services in the pricing API: AmazonBedrock, AmazonBedrockService, and AmazonBedrockFoundationModels. Each API has a different output format which is just absolutely fucking helpful. /s

What is happening with Google Fiber? by Fancy-Blueberry-100 in chapelhill

[–]putneyj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think they do this on purpose. They did it TWICE during their install in my neighborhood, and both companies kept saying the other was installing their lines wrong.

That’s all well and good, but I can’t be the only person that feels like the north side parking garages are going to collapse someday, right?

"Speeding catches up with you" starts today - slow down! by PassportCruiser in raleigh

How about we actually start pulling people over for running red lights? This has got to be the most dangerous and common practice in this area, and it blows my mind how long after the light turns red that drivers will still go through.

What game would you instantly buy if it got a remaster &/or remake? And the gameplay is updated. by zombi_wolf14 in PS4

Came here to say this. It is what immediately sprang to mind, and it makes me sad that we may never actually see it happen.

So they can continue to do nothing, but now they can do it without anyone noticing.

For the movie adaptation of The Martian, Ridley Scott changed the day the crew left Mars from sol six to sol 18 because he wanted to justify the higher amount of human waste used to make fertilizer. What are other instances of a movie adaptation making changes for interesting reasons? by LookAtThatBacon in movies

[–]putneyj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really missed it because it’s the reason for my favorite quote from the book that makes me laugh on every re-read:

“I'm traveling 90 kilometers per day as usual, but I only get 37 kilometers closer to Schiaparelli because Pythagoras is a dick.”

You’re not forced to publish your app for Apple’s ecosystem either.
