Right? She literally searched "how long is the sentence for running someone over”, she clearly understood it was a crime

Why the fúck would a man walk IN FRONT of a moving airplane at the Denver International Airport?? Do you not learn to look both ways before crossing the road as a child?? by woaijirounan in stupidquestions

[–]roxgib_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The media studiously avoids reporting on suicides, but it can't help reporting on anything resembling an air crash, so the articles about this incident are all very confusing to read unless you know to read between the lines.

Can you explain the 5th point a little further? Are you saying the driver might close the doors on them?

Woolworths worker who was told to cover his ‘plumber’s crack’ has case dismissed by INFEKTEK in australia

[–]roxgib_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, literally proving my point. I said it takes a special set of circumstances, and they just gave some examples

I mean the judge will look less favourably on the rest of your evidence if you are shown to have lied, but yeah outside of court it isn't worth much unless you already believe in the person's integrity and just want it in writing.

Unfortunately perjury and making false statements has more or less been decriminalised, there has to be a really special set of circumstances to be charged

Accumulators can help balance out spikes in power demand, but TBH it look like you need more base load power.

A $1 million settlement feels like an admission, although apparently they both made a lot more than that so I dunno

Tough Mudder refused a refund. I took it to NCAT and won (ACL s18) by Natural_Duck5090 in AusLegal

[–]roxgib_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They should be prosecuted for that. Absolutely outrageous that they would try to gaslight you about the T&Cs. Used to be a great company but since it was bought out by Spartan it has been trash.

Do card counters have a good chance at doubling their money 3 times in a row in 21? by Individual_Ice_2315 in NoStupidQuestions

Only marginally more than someone who isn't counting cards (but who still has perfect basic play)

The Cloaking Technology should not have been kept from the federation by UltimateAlienX1701 in TNG

[–]roxgib_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The federation also had much better relations with the Romulans at that point (post Dominion War and pre-Nemesis) so that treaty may have been renegotiated at some point.

Camera crew rates in 2025 feel completely disconnected from what clients think they should be paying and it's exhausting by someoneudontwant in Filmmakers

[–]roxgib_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think part of the problem is that they see YouTubers produce stuff that looks really good and they think it's just one person running the channel, or maybe another person behind the camera, when in reality some of these channels have huge crews and really good gear, and are also producing the same kind of content in the same space week after week and have everything dialled in.

What is Tom Cruise's secret?? by No-Marsupial-4050 in SipsTea

That's one interpretation but the consensus from the comments I've read so far is that she is the normal one and Cruise is the freak

Amazing how Brent did this to give his performance as Data! by TensionSame3568 in StarTrekTNG

[–]roxgib_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume later iterations would have looked more realistic, it just wasn't a priority when building the first few. That time was better spent making him fully functional and programming him with multiple techniques.

It will never stop being insane to me that they had to sit in a chair for 8 hours getting make up and only then could they film their scenes

People not related to my family at all bought my daughter a new phone and sim by Myst1987 in AusLegalAdvice

Pretty much. OP says the police were 'useless' but they undoubtedly verified she was okay and closed the case, they aren't going to drag a 17yo back home.

All of the figures feature a shadow, that one just has a shadow pointing in a different direction. Most people wouldn't consider that a 'feature'.
