  • Yeah, and for anyone concerned, this doesn't mean jam on the gas, but you got a make some move. You can be conscious of intersecting traffic and whether they've actually come to a stop, as well as aware of everyone behind you apparently being in a huge hurry, because they always are. So take your foot off the brake, let me see those brake lights go away, and it's at least a signal to everyone that we are underway here at Silverstone.

  • I'll do something similar to the OP. If I'm doing 29 in a 25 and you ride my ass, we will now do 24 in a 25. I like to think I've improved the safety of the local roadway. I won't negotiate with terrorists.

  • We're on Lemmy, I'm surprised this shitpost hasn't already devolved to political discourse. Taking shitposts seriously is Lemmy's milieu.

  • Reminds me of the joke: What's the difference between Jelly and Jam?

  • There really is no wrong way. Peanut butter, or something like it, whatever you're into, with some pulverized fruit jelly stuff, on some sort of bread or breadlike surface, open faced or sandwich style. All good.

  • First three seasons of AD are some of the best TV ever.

  • My brother lived in Mexico City about a decade ago. We're from the US. MC always had a bad rep, but like many things, it was overblown. Worst part of the city is the traffic. Public transport can be a little tight. Gotta get used to whatever lives in the water. Otherwise, I always enjoyed visiting. There was the one time there was an earthquake while I was on the roof of a high-rise, we don't get those in Jersey, but that's a fluke.

  • Damn, I took electronics a few different times in my learning career. V=IR always stuck with me, and then P=VI. And so when I read current squared times resistance I squinted my eyes and replaced the V in the power equation with IR, and I was like woah. Neat.

  • The digestion thing is always interesting to me. I've been doing recreational drugs with the same people for close to 20 years now. Frequency down to about once a year at this point, but from when we were kids to now when we have our own, I've always been the one who comes up fast off anything we ingest, and my other buddy has taken anywhere from 30 to 90 (and sometimes more) minutes longer than me. He's tall, but lanky. We're built roughly the same. I guess that whenever the uptake starts to happen is just earlier a long in my process of digestion. We've got it down to a science now though, and I'm always last to dive in for an evening of letting the minds go.

  • Finally, someone gets it!

  • Yep. Lemmy and Reddit are absolutely terrible for trying to have a positive outlook. If you want to be mad, come here. I'm sure other doomscrollers are the same, I just don't have any.

  • What doesn't kill you leaves a scar that lasts forever, physical or emotional.

  • Caught a case of commaitis.

  • I appreciate what you're saying, but wouldn't one way to solve that problem be to remove folks who aren't here legally? I don't like Trump or his policies, but what he's doing, as horrible as it is, seems to rectify the situation of having a slave caste. In fact, I see articles posted here all the time talking about how they can't find people to work farms. It's obviously created other problems, but they're kind of irrelevant for this discussion.

    I don't know how the US can't function the same way as a European nation just because it's geographically across an ocean. I do agree with you that it shakes out that way, but I'm not sure why where the US is plays a role. How long does the US need to wait to not be composed of large settler populations?

    Honest question here too because I appreciate your viewpoint, and I just know there's a lot of folks across the pond who are quick to say America bad, and then America adjusts it's tack to perform the same way as those countries, and I hear no, not like that.

  • Yeah, those nights are so few and far between anymore. And I always just tell people, how is this night different than the hundreds of thousands of other nights between 2008 and 2020?

  • And when I order laptops from Amazon, they generally send them UPS and make me sign for them. Pretty much anything expensive I've had to sign for. Chargeback should be ezpz for OP, though they may want to file a police report (can't recall the first thread, if they did or not).

  • I got a ticket in France (I'm from the US) in a Hertz rental and never paid it, so I too will never rent from Hertz again.
