MD has basically had no traffic enforcement since the pandemic, it's extra bad now that all the local cops are busy trying to keep dipshits off the collapsed bridge.

This is literally every major city.

Seattle cops straight up don't pull anyone over for anything anymore.

I saw a guy I thought was pulled over yesterday but it was just a stalled vehicle and the cop car was acting as a traffic barrier.

That's funny, I was expecting an airplane because I saw it in an aviation thread. But reading that next to the thumbnail version, now I can't unsee a desert :tinfoil:

Skill issue. The unique “<letter> with <diacritic>” code points exist for compatibility with legacy character encodings. You don’t need them. The combining diæresis, U+0308, can be applied to any letter preceding it.

Just remembered the time Radium did "forums userbase summary" and noted the one guy on a WebTV client and then saying "we banned that dude immediately". Maybe the only funny thing he ever did.
