And to top it off, IIRC the literally one video card at all that didn't horribly stutter and crash was not the one they had a massive promotion with. Nvidia were not exactly happy with them.

Maybe they're actually trying to defuse the situation without unnecessary fatalities? Ditching eggs at people is, yes, still a crime but the punishment for it is also not usually capital. Generally people trained to use guns are told to only even think about touching the holster is someone's life is in danger and unlike certain newsworthy police forces they're simply following that training. E: VVV That's what I wanted to say but I guess you're braver than me.

My high school had, until the year before mine, a school-acknowledged if not -sanctioned "muck up day", and students were given relative freedom and were happy to clean up afterwards. For my year they tried to have us pay twelve bucks each to play ten pin bowling with the two other morons who didn't just not show that day.  E: VVV gently caress poo poo up and play end of year pranks, but with a dumb name because we have to maintain the pretence that you're children even if you're legally not.

I think the bottom line of what he's asking is "why are they 'out to get you', why are they always looking 'for evidence to incriminate you', why do they have such an 'us vs them mentality', what the gently caress is wrong with US police and why do Americans put up with it?  ". Because in other countries the police generally exist to, shock and horror, enforce the law. What I'm about to say is an anecdote but no more than half this argument, in Australia I've been pulled over for random roadside breath tests plenty of times, afaik you can't and certainly no one tries to refuse, and when I've blown 0.00 I've been free to go, rather than having the contents of my car thrown in a ditch and everyone thinking that's normal.

E: ^^^ I imagine it's a hell of a lot easier to pull up next to the window of a car that's already stopped than waste time flagging down someone moving at speed and missing who know how many other people doing the same thing. Ozz81 posted:drat I wish police in the US cracked down like this. AFAIK cell phones are banned/illegal but police can only cite you for it if they pull you over for another infraction, I may be wrong though. People might wise the gently caress up if we handled auto cell bans like Australia does and, y'know, actually punished someone for being a careless idiot. I'm not American, but I've read about secondary enforcement in the context of seatbelts. Yeah, they can't book you for that alone, it's only against the law for the sake of drumming up more charges if they catch you doing something else at the same time.

You're an idiot if you've been following this thread for more than a couple of days and still haven't realized it's super bandwidth heavy. It's like going to the PYF Gif thread from an actual C64. I'm pretty sure the point is that page in particular had a whole lot bunch of gigantic gifs that really should have been webms with no good reason for them not to be. It's not a matter of poor connections or data plans, only that page has given me problems.

Like so much else, it's a perfectly fine idea on paper. You're innocent until proven guilty, so we don't want to throw you in jail, but if you are guilty, you could take the opportunity to skip town, so we'll take a sizeable deposit as discouragement. Above posters have already detailed why it doesn't work in execution.

Horrible Smutbeast posted:To not walk at all? If it's far enough that walking is impractical, get in your car. If you find there's middle ground either you're too worried about fuel efficiency (in which case you're probably accustomed to walking this distances anyway) or you're lazy. In any case, it's not even remotely comparable to mobile phones, especially since bikes, scooters, Segways and whatever the gently caress else already exist.

But I mean, again, these stupid things aren't the first, fastest, or easiest to use product of its kind. Even if people are so lazy that "replacement for walking" is a product on par with loving mobile phones, that niche has already been filled by plenty of products that don't result in a page of crash pictures in this thread. Please tell me that me reading posts here as advocating these things is a gross misreading. Or else that the posts saying so are trolling and I'm just a fool. E: Somfin posted:Something Awful users choose to post in forums in the year 2015- we're mild luddites by nature. This is exactly the sort of comment I mean, the tone of others sounds like "oh you just hate them because  goons, hover boards are totally the next phone".

Oh, if we're telling personal anecdotes for schadenfreude, I spent an hour trapped in a bedroom last night by a faulty door handle that was being installed. Make sure the latch actually retracts when you turn the handle before closing the door, kids! Fortunately for me but unfortunately for freude, we forced it open two bent files and a scratched doorframe later rather than having to break it down.

We considered removing the whole door, but the hinges were sealed by decades-old paint.

Sorry for the tangent, but I've always thought "ADJECTIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC" subtitles would be useless because a deaf person wouldn't know how that could sound, but I guess it's different with cochlear implants/not being born deaf. How do you feel about them?
