I’d argue that it sacrifices the safety of any other car that’s smaller than it too, with sudans being the most vulnerable. No way a bumper difference of feet allows for the smaller car’s safety features to work as intended if not bypassed entirely.

I was also wondering but it makes perfect sense now :)

If I miss a part on commentary, I lose out on the video explanation. If I miss part of the movie, why the hell are these people trying to kill each other. Different levels of impact where rewinding just a few minutes and not going back to the beginning for exposition and reparsing it all back together.

He may have been apolitical for his time (you’d have to ask him personally to know), but many teachings align with socialism. It just relies on the individual to do it themselves instead of being state enforced. “you do you but also heaven won’t accept you if you don’t share wealth”. Final judgement would stand in for corporeal laws in this case. When people don’t subscribe to that and it actively lets people suffer, teachings might not be enough.

I strongly agree with you. I’m not against assisted suicide the same way I’m not against it for non incarcerated people. The only time I would agree with nonoptional state enforced death penalty is if the person is such a danger that they can either not be contained or are somehow able to continue to do direct harm despite all efforts of containment. This would be like trying to imprison evil Superman or professor X. Extremes only fiction has been able to create. This person wasn’t even close. I am wary of assisted suicide for the incarcerated only because consent isn’t a strong value for prison systems and could be faked/forcibly encouraged etc.

As one of the “young” people at least when it comes to the Beatles, I don’t hate the Beatles but I absolutely don’t get the hype living decades after their big run. A few songs are annoying because of overplaying. That colors the band to a lot of people my age. I find them mostly boring and seeing the hype at the time is wild, but so will the people 20 years from now for my music. When people feel like it’s over hyped then they “hate” it. I find most of the Beatles music as inoffensive and a little boring. Don’t hate it but don’t care for it. I think most haters probably feel similar but being controversial makes the conversation more interesting.

I’m not really a basketball fan, but her talent/record breaking career was enough for me to follow the game at the restaurant I just happened to be attending. If I’m not the target audience and I’m pulled in, I think there’s a solid chance the same pull was much stronger for BBall fans who otherwise wouldn’t have cared about this specific game.

I also want to know more like the previous commenter. Automatic screening that I had with an old pixel phone was the best thing Google ever did for me back with a pixel 3.

Thanks for backing me up

I completely agree. I tinker and change my PC to parts because it’s fun. Did it make a difference to performance? Kinda. Was the effort put forth because of performance alone? No. People like making Legos and just put them on a shelf. There are consumer products where the customer is paying to do the work themselves for little gain above the fun of the journey. Why wouldn’t it expand to many other areas? And if there’s not enough people willing to do something, make it worth their while to fix it, but that’s already a problem and UBI isn’t the big smoking gun people claim it to be.

Thank you for your comment. Of everything I read, this is the most sane response. It’s a shitpost to send a specific message.

While I agree, the amount of productivity that’s increased since the 5 day work week was established has made it reasonable to once again change the norm. That, or pay workers equivalent to the increase in productivity that has happened. It’s all going somewhere.

I know that old media/tech platforms have a use that can be helpful. Where should I donate unused/functional tech that can be more than e-waste that isn’t something I want to make money from? If I’m sitting on floppy discs and know they are going to help someone, who do I give them to?

In college I had support to do something very similar to engineers without borders just under a different name but in conjunction with the program. They required a certain donation level to ensure that the work we did had the needed materials paid for and could compensate the local workers involved. That’s what I was told. I wasn’t auditing anything but it seemed above board. I was able to engage with doctors without borders members while there. All were committed to the cause. Many were from the same part of the world if not “state/province” and giving back after they were able to make more money elsewhere. Just about all were hardcore. We have 5000 to treat in 7 days type of hardcore. Bedside manner wasn’t what you’d expect in the US, but it was about helping as many people as you could as effectively as you could. Truly eye opening though. I can’t say anything about the organization, but the people who were first hand there either gathered the donations or donated themselves and went there to make a difference. I respect the hell out of those people.

I feel the same way. I’m not sure if it makes it better but you’re not alone.

I follow American politics because I know it will affect me. I feel like I need to know. I don’t think that that info should exist everywhere. Getting a break is very important to me too. Everything seems to be much more political with the Internet because how much more aware we all are. I would like to see some community where it’s not politics or governments or anything.

My SO upgraded to a Ryzen 5600 and 6600 GPU from a 1050TI and some integrated old CPU and saw massive improvements for BG3. I don’t know the integrated CPU but I think that made the difference for this game. Loading in went from crashes or naked people to no issue at all.

I gifted that card to my SO mid scalping days to relieve their integrated CPU some work and it held the entire time (3 years). They got a great deal on a CPU and GPU and accessories for like 400 USD this year. Ryzen 5600 and the AMD equivalent of a 3060 (6600?) and with some PC building tools on top of it. BG3 went from a mess at act 3 to buttery smooth. i think it went from low to high settings as well. Great card all in all. The CPU made the difference in this case (I think).
