Yeah, the carefree mood of preproduction is definitely the best part

A pretty stupid and/or egotistical person, which is not illegal. I have literally met people who think like that. Also that's arguably the most dangerous part of drunk driving: impaired judgement makes you think you've got everything under control, and you're not that drunk anyway, and you're a good driver... Combine that with someone whose brain isn't exactly firing up on all cylinders when they're sober and you've got a deadly cocktail, and also probably someone who is more likely to get too drunk to legally drive (and not give up on driving home after that line is crossed)

Also it really fucks with some peripherals. I even had a motherboard with RGB lights (don't judge me, it was actually cheaper than the "normie" version I originally wanted) that didn't turn off the lights and the fans because of this shitty feature. I never got around to investigating who was doing things wrong between Microsoft and the manufacturer in this case though, I just got into the habit of holding shift while clicking the shutdown button.

I have never volunteered to count or observe elections. However I am a professional programmer, and I absolutely agree, electronic voting opens up tons of new attacks, whereas paper voting "security" is basically a solved problem at this point

Nothing about game development is "easy"

True. I guess they don't do it because they'd basically need 1 nonstandard "blank only" variant for each actual caliber, otherwise the bigger gas/blowback-operated guns might have some trouble cycling ?

You can get USB-C to micro USB adapters for like 7 bucks

Yeah I actually zoomed in after commenting and they look pretty much exactly like the 7.62 PS in Tarkov (never seen a 7.62x39 IRL so that's my best point of reference ¯(ツ)/¯ ). I just thought they were also gold at a glance because they are included in the carrying case (and there aren't even enough to fill half the mag that looks like a 30-rounder)

Don't you actually need a working chamber and barrel to use blanks ?

Are these gold plated bullets ? That has to be the most expensive expanding bullets "tech" ever

Good ol' rocket pod technical

It does look very familiar

I'm not saying that 17 years behind bars is too much here, I'm saying it's definitely not too little. Unless it can be proven that this idiot actually thought he was likely to get in an accident by acting the way he did

Come to DCC, we have variable spells effects and weird lore

That's the hivemind for you. Personally I don't think you deserve downvotes for these comments and I don't think you are a Russian shill. I replied to you because I understand where you're coming from, and I was trying to get you to see things the way I see them : I actually held the same opinion when Russia annexed Crimea by force in 2014 even though people were already screaming that it was basically Hitler's playbook. But the fact that Putin didn't take that easy, huge W when basically the entire world went for appeasement, and instead decided to keep escalating convinced me that he is actually literally applying Hitler's playbook (and backing it with mutually assured destruction, of all things).

Some people are just that irresponsible. Also the human brain is notoriously bad at risk assessment, so some people truly don't realize how likely they are to cause suffering and death when they do shit like this. Harsh punishments won't change that because this guy probably didn't think he was gonna accidentally murder 2 people that night

I know they have lots of luxurious properties in France

You may want to look up the Sudeten crisis/Munich agreement and how effective it was at preventing war.

I think it's Net, [no idea for this one], Yahoo

I swear I could hear the call center employee (probably not really an IT guy at this stage) sweating when I called them after a thunderstorm fried my router's entry port and I read them the list of troubleshooting I already went through before calling them.
