Can’t argue with that.

I am neither a furry, nor into VR pole dancing, but you should drop us a link for shits and giggles. I’d rather support people doing their weird hobbies for fun instead of meaningless wage slave jobs for misery.

Don’t feel compelled to, if you don’t want to associate your Lemmy profile with your VR furry pole dancing profile, but if you are having fun with it, you should consider sharing it regardless of how good you are, if only to show other people that this thing exists, and they may have fun with it too

Pretty much every thing about it.

It’s a weird maneuver. People get into the passing lane to pass. If you get into the passing lane and hit the brakes, you are just asking to confuse the people behind you.

It sends confusing information to the people behind you. If I see the car ahead of me hop out of lane while clearly not in a passing situation, it’s usually because there is something hazardous in the road, and I need to dodge it as well, I’d be moving out of lane pretty much the exact moment you started slamming your brakes.

You have less visibility behind you than you do in front, making the maneuver much more dangerous. You might be popping out of lane to do your “Reverse pass” at the exact moment the person behind you, in or a person behind them decides to pass. You could also get stuck in a situation where you go for the “reverse pass” and realize that there is actually more cars behind you than you expected, and now you’re stuck going slow in the wrong lane with no way to get back over.

Cars can (almost) always brake faster than they can accelerate. If you need to get back into your original place because it is unsafe to complete the pass, it’s a lot easier to slow down to get back to it, than it is to accelerate to get back to it.

Don’t “reverse pass”. In fact, you really should pull your post or edit it to advise people not to do it. It’s illegal, it’s dangerous and it will get people hurt or killed. This is not a joke or a shit-post. I’m dead serious.

Reverse passing is just like it sounds - passing in reverse. You enter the left lane, slow down rapidly, and then move back over. You force the driver behind you to pass you whether they want to or not.

No no no. God sweet Jesus no. NEVER EVER DO THAT.

If you want someone to pass you, here is what you do. Wait until there is a clear stretch of road for them to pass on, and move your car as far to the right as possible so they can see around you easily, and then let them pass if they want to. If you really want to encourage them, slow down just a tad, maybe 3-5 mph, and if that doesn’t work, throw on your hazards too.

I went off the power supply maximum output. 5.1 volts, 3 amps, so 15 watts per hour. 24hrs per day, 365 days a year, so 131,400 watt-hours, or 131kilowatt-hours. My electricity is about $0.25/kwh (advertised at 0.09/kwh, but when you add on bullshit fees, the final rate is much higher), so I came up with $32.85 as the maximum amount any device connected to that power supply could cost.

$50/year electrical bill for a Pi?!

Nevermind, I just did some back of the napkin math and came out around 35 a year if I was running one full power 24/7, so yeah, that is the right ballpark guess for a maximum.

Fuck that noise.

You want a fight? You better be blasting Duel of the Fates, otherwise I don’t want any.

Spartan 117 from Halo. It’s pretty explicitly said that he has luck on his side. Hypothetically, he’s quantum immortal (we might all be actually) and the checkpoint system in the games is based around this immortality.

That’s… One way to look at it. On the other hand, if I were an employer, should I be required to keep people on payroll if they were going around saying “I work for Bytemeister, and I think Hitler was right and we should have exterminated the Jews”? That’s going to affect my business badly, it’s going to cost me my quality of life, if not my entire business.

Perhaps both of them harm (or help) different parties by different amounts. So maybe a system where “My freedom ends where it starts infringing on other peoples rights.” looks like a common sense framework, but when scrutinized reveals that it doesn’t really stand for anything at all.

Ah, so it would have been harmful to vote against it.

Or choose not to do business with them, or choose not to help them on the side of the road, or choose not to invite them to your parties, or choose not to let them on your property, or choose to sign them up for all the useless email and mail spam you can find…

Don’t tunnel on one thing. A freedom for everyone means a freedom for the capitalists, and the communists too.

Charlie Kirk would still be a piece of shit today if he wasn’t out and loud about being a piece of shit.

I voted to raise my taxes to fund my local school. Now my neighbors have to pay more in taxes as well… Did I just harm them?

Or choose not to hire them, or ostracize them.

Hate speech is free speech. So is recording that hate speech and making sure that everyone the bigot knows is aware of their bigotry is free speech too.

Congrats on posting the most wrong thing I have read today.

Also, are you a writer for Landman?

Yeah, but all the inattentive parents can now successfully pass on their genes and social values… Which is why we’re seeing a huge age verification push online right now. If those people or their children got mauled or eaten at higher rates then we wouldn’t have this problem.

Not even close.

I see serrations/combo blades on a knife and I just want to vomit.

You can haul or tow pretty well with a van. Unless you need a hookup for a goose neck… But those are rare, even for truck bros.

And a hot pocket is just a savory double-stuff poptart.
