Come now, no need to be so dramatic. It was an air rifle...not an AR15.
Graciousness? I don't think that's the right word...you don't vote for someone because you're being gracious, you vote for someone because you think they'll deliver what you want - or in this case perhaps, the closest person who actually stands a hope in hell of getting elected.
Honestly most the advice I'm seeing is basically an answer to "how to avoid clothes looking absurdly crinkled" but nothing gets clothes as crinkle-free as an iron. Most people are just content with some crinkles.
Not even iron-free shirts are free from my iron.
I don't use the dryer except for towels, and I'm generally pretty good about taking them out when they're done washing- can definitely tell when they've sat there a while!
Um....delivering?
Maybe I'm missing the point as I'm not from the US (and I assume from your content that you are) - but here we pay a delivery fee which covers the cost of delivery, and a tip is an optional bonus for the delivery person if you feel like they went beyond.
Well he didn't just get takeout for some reason /s
Did you consider getting takeout?
Because that was what the article was about....I actually am a Linux user and fan, folks just misreading the intentions of my post.
I would genuinely love to see it, because I'm stuck on mac hardware to do my job and I really hope one day they get crucified for their anticompetative practices so I can freely choose the OS my business uses.
Que no los dos?
I'd love to see you run xcode 16 code completion on your superior OS. Send me a link once you've uploaded the vid.
How you finding protonmail compared to Gmail? The thing I like about Gmail is I can find shit in my endless history....I also love the calendar integration.
20yrs ago I had to help my comp sci housemate build a website for his module. I was not a CS student.
Some things never change.
Ad hominem attacks always reveal the character.
Alt: a single pane comic in which a person says to another person: "silicate chemistry is second nature to us geochemists, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows the formulas for olivine and one or two feldspars.
The other person says: "and quartz, of course"
The first person replies: "of course."
The caption to the comic reads "even when they're trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their field"
As a total stranger who who doesn't know you a dot, I can totally unemotional and impartially say that you received justice.
Speed kills, literally. And as an inexperienced driver, you shouldn't be speeding a dot. Let alone anyone else.
If a kid had run out from behind a parked car, tree or whatever then you have a much better chance of not killing them if you're going the speed limit.
The fact that you were even caught, while armed with all the knowledge you have about increased deaths and thus increased demerits, tells me you should have made better choices.
I have been caught speeding 3 times in my 20 years of driving and I deserved every single one of them, and more.
That you were able to further reduce your punishment is further evidence of the system working.
Frankly I think your posts reveal an attitude of a victim rather than a perpetrator, which is a shame because you should probably have taken away something about the need to not speed in order to not kill people.
Everyone thinks they're a great driver, and no one thinks it's going to be them who has the accident that kills someone. But that's the thing about accidents, they're unpredictable and undesired.
All that said and done- if you were speeding by less than 10% I think it's harsh and I'm glad you got to reduce the punishment! Over here we have 20mph zones to protect kids and 7kmh over is inexcusable in my book.
And didn't he maim someone? Took the life that person could have had.
"Things could be worse" is always such a depressing reflection.
You're not wrong....but it sure is bleak isn't it!
