Roommate: I don't, but I know a guy who's in deep and he said he'll help me get in.



Jesus Christ. That Roommate is a jobless Squatter that somehow manages to scrap together just enough money for "most" of his share of the rent, and at least one bottle of alcohol a day. You know what, good luck to him.

QA is a really poo poo job. Just testing bits of games over and over and over and over and over to find bugs and/or verify that bugs have been fixed. "IT" can have many meanings, but is quite often a sort of systems maintenance/repair guy who keeps the computers and network running. Not nearly as poo poo a job. Neither of which you need to program for, mostly.

Don't worry, no dog gets hurt in any way. In fact, the whole video simply proves that Russian dogs are far smarted than Russian people.

I don't know about "far smarted". I think "less drunk" is the more likely explanation.

Eh. Depends on a bunch of things. Usually it just adds the 'fleeing the scene of an accident' charge on there, but it also can be a sign of bad faith. Often drunk drivers will flee because the charge added on is less than the drunk driving charges. Of course if you're a celebrity and nobody really got hurt, it doesn't really affect anything.

Didn't they run a red light to get away, too?

I like how they all broke exactly in the middle when they fell over, why it's almost like all those brick breaking clips are staged and the bricks are already cut a fair way through thus making that effortless illusion.

I can't fathom why anyone still thinks that is an impressive feat, and those that perform it actually think they're doing something entertaining.

I loved the one at :35 where the guy just fails to remember that turning in an Australian city (tenative guess is Melbourne) requires hook turns where you wait in the middle and to the side as long as possible so that you can turn at the last second.

When you're doing a hook turn, you actually have to wait until the lights change before you turn. It's not just waiting until it's clear.

The schadenfreude is on Steam then, the flash sales were a great way to get nerds to keep checking the store every 6 hours and eventually impulse buying something.

Valve have metrics like you wouldn't believe. They would have cut out flash sales because the data they have supports that action. If there were enough people checking constantly to generate enough impulse buys, their data would show it.

I'm surprised there aren't more accidents in the UK considering they drive on the wrong side of the road all the time.

This, but unironically, considering that the UK is an hour away from a continent full of countries that drive on the other side. People hop over the ditch all the time - just go to another freakin' country for the weekend. How they cope with the change in driving is beyond me.

It's dumb anyway. We should all standardise to right-hand side and finished, since that's what most people use.

One of my cats did this the other day. I was playing with him with a pom-pom on a string on the end of a stick. He grabbed the pom-pom in his mouth and started to walk off with it, with the end of the stick still in my hand. So I dropped the stick, so that he can drag his "kill" off and play with it.

He takes off, running away from the stick, but doesn't let go of the pom-pom. So he ends up doing two laps of the apartment, chased by a stick he is dragging behind him, me laughing my arse off. So, like that gif, only it was his own stupid fault for not just letting go.

yea, real stupid

If he was running away from me, to preserve his kill, he'd have run under the couch and stopped. Instead, he ran directly away from the stick, turned when he ran out of room, and kept fleeing. He ran past me twice.

That said, the detective (Jim Smyth, who has been called the World’s Greatest Police Interrogator) is using a pretty controversial interrogation technique in which the cop can say pretty much anything, lie about evidence, etc., and this caused problems in a different case where Smyth employed the same technique, leading to a not-guilty verdict in that case

I found the interview too uncomfortable to watch for this reason. Keeping a suspect ignorant of their rights and misleading them into a confession is still wrong, and still perverts and weakens the justice system. It doesn't matter whether the suspect is actually guilty or not, the ends do not justify the means.

Don't talk to the police except to request a lawyer.

This brings up a whole lot of questions regarding the fifth amendment and self incrimination and so on. But seriously, are there many confirmed cases where a truly innocent person has been jailed because the detectives leaned a bit heavy on the interrogation techniques? I'm not being snarky, I am legitimately asking. I know cases exist where shaky eye-witness testimony, or faulty early DNA/forensic science has put an otherwise innocent person in prison exist, but are there many cases where a person who wasn't schizophrenic or otherwise mentally disabled or easily tricked into confession a common thing? I agree that the letter of the law needs to be black and white without ambiguity, but this guy was guilty as gently caress, even if he was lead into admitting it through coercive means. I cannot imagine that happening to me unless I was truly the person guilty of hurting these people.

Part of the problem is: in cases where someone was convicted purely based on their confession, how can you be sure whether the police "leaned too heavily" or not?
