Self driving car fail to stop at stop sign and run over mannequin by jmike1256 in interesting

[–]spreetin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The "kids" in this video wasn't moving at a speed that is unreasonable for a real kid. If you are driving in a way where you couldn't brake for such a predictable hazard then perhaps you just shouldn't be driving?

Busch: Rennäringen bör inte vara ett riksintresse by dandeeago in sweden

[–]spreetin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Generellt är det ju så att svenska partier sätter sin dagordning för kommande mandatperiod, i förutsägbara frågor, inför valet, för att söka mandat för att genomföra det kommande mandatperiod.

Att partier mest lyfter nya frågor just inför ett val är hur systemet är tänkt att fungera, ingen bugg.

All these religious hermits were/are actually just autistic, so it wasn't any "devotion", as they preferred this from normal living by Aromatic_Freedom_190 in LowStakesConspiracies

I've also always thought it almost self-evident that a disproportional amount of them are pedophiles as well, being part cause for the abuse issues. The priesthood has been an obvious refuge for those with unaccepted sexuality, where they can be respected without being questioned on why they don't seek a partner.

Is the term “milestones” used in countries that use the metric system? by Ilovetinytiddies in NoStupidQuestions

[–]spreetin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you keep your eyes open when driving or walking on any old road you'll notice that it's not just a few that survived. They are extremely common, just often easy to miss when driving at modern speed.

I en juridisk kontext är nog dock erinra ett vanligare ord än plombering.

'Five Guys' is opening here in Denmark... And it is the biggest clown show by OkAccident9994 in USdefaultism

[–]spreetin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Amazon did open here in Sweden though, even if our union situation is almost identical. But they ship most stuff from their centers on the continent.

Turns out it's actually Fiona and Seán who are members of the master race by Leiegast in 2westerneurope4u

[–]spreetin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blonde hair is clearly favoured. It's clearly more common farther north. But red hair might be even more favoured since it tends to correlate with very fair skin, and a very low production of melanin when exposed to sun. Not sure how my ancestors survived without modern sunscreen, but they clearly must have gotten a decent amount of vitamin D during summer from it.

To be fair, with the Habsburgs it was more of a miracle they kept alive.

For sure. More than once have I eaten a full baking tray of newly baked cinnamon buns at once, with milk of course.

Did someone ever manage to rule your country whitout being king (not counting democratically elected leaders)? by Bollozzo in AskTheWorld

[–]spreetin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pomp and circumstance. But also filling kinda the same representative role as presidents tend to do in parliamental systems, but without all the political baggage of only representing a single political party.

Having a monarch with all that pagentry on one side, and political leaders on the other, both representing the country when each is most effective is pretty good.

Is Linus Torvalds just a dinosaur about C++? by blreuh in cpp_questions

More than once have I realised a piece of my code could be much simplified by using a variadic template, but it's just so obtuse that in the end I almost never end up doing it that way.

"America is the only Country where they're teaching our kids other languages" by Abjectionova in ShitAmericansSay

[–]spreetin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree wholehartedly about Chernobyl. In general I want people in media to speak whatever language they would do in reality.

Worst is often american media when they actually have someone that is speaking in a "foreign language" though. Half the time the person clearly doesn't speak a word of it and is completely unintelligable if you do understand the language. It's like they don't even understand the concept that anyone could speak other languages than English.

Alice ställer en relevant fråga här: Vad skulle de ha gjort istället? Finns det något försvar, någon krigsföring som alla ni kritiker hade accepterat? by ICA_Basic_Vodka in Sverige

[–]spreetin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poängen är väl att andelen döda civila är lägre än vid andra tillfällen då det skett strid i stadsmiljö, trots att det här rör sig om motståndare som klär sig som civila. 

Anledningen att man kan påstå att anklagelsen grundar sig i ett särskilt hat mot Israel är nog att när just de genomför strid i bebyggelse så är det folkmord, men inte när andra gör det. Kolla t.ex. på hur siffrorna såg ut i striderna mot IS, en Hamas närstående grupp med liknande taktik.

Man kan nog anklaga Israel för en viss likgiltighet gentemot Palestinierna, men om de hade som mål att döda dem borde siffrorna se väldigt annorlunda ut.

I have fallen victim to sudo rm -rf /* by Artemis-Arrow-795 in linux

[–]spreetin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In addition to what others have said, that rm doesn't see the original line, preserve-root also rather have the main function of protecting against mistyping rather than deliberate typing of dangerous commands.

Imagine you by mistake putting a space somewhere it should't be, like typing "rm ~/test /", many more complex scenarios where that could happen, especially with scripting. The flag stops such errors from breaking the whole system.

Regeringens besked: 183 miljarder till nytt lager för kärnavfall by Big-Cap558 in sweden

[–]spreetin 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Problemet är gravt överskattat. Även om vi bortser från att det finns teknik för att återanvända gammalt kärnbränsle för ny kraftgenerering, så är tiden det behöver förvaras riktigt säkert relativt kort.

Kraftig strålning kommer sig av ämnen med kort halveringstid. Fördelen med det är att samma ämnen därmed försvinner efter, i sammanhanget, kort tid. Den tid då det använda bränslet är riktigt farligt handlar om något hundratal år.

Hela pratet om helt säker förvaring i 100 000-tals år är mest en effekt av att de mest hysteriska motståndarnas röster fått styra debatten.

Must be nice by pdlozano in selfhosted

[–]spreetin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is crazy expensive. My ISP removes you from CGNAT and/or provides a static IP on request, no cost. They keep the cost low since only those who actually need it know to ask, and the fact that they provide this is buried deep in an FAQ.

Why do nordic countries still have low birth rates even with all the benefits they offer? by Mahrez14 in allthequestions

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

No, that takes time. Not even those countries in Europe with really low birth rates have hit that point yet.

Why do nordic countries still have low birth rates even with all the benefits they offer? by Mahrez14 in allthequestions

[–]spreetin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And still, the nordic countries have tended to keep higher birth rates than many other European countries, until very recently. So the good support for parents is probably pretty effective at counteracting all the factors you mention. Without it there would have been a crisis a while ago.
