Now the new skill is "print to pdf"

You are correct, I should have said "Not a car, pedestrian or other obstacle in sight".

The problem is absolutely people not paying attention when turning; they'll fixate on the traffic coming from the left, and the moment there's a tiny opening they'll floor it and ram into stopped traffic or pedestrians on the right.

I would say its equally stupid to sit there with no car in sight. I guess this most often happens at night when little traffic. There are some light that seems to have a 60sec cycle and it sucks idling there for no reason. Roundabouts help, and over the last 10? years they've been appearing more.

Telling people to use their judgment to decide if they can just go regardless of red is a bad idea. People barley handle the right-on-red as it is.

To offer a counter argument. Right on red the concept isn't stupid, its stupid to just sit there when there's not a car in sight.

The drivers, shitty driver tests and 0 enforcement is all dumb.

It's supposed to be treated like a stop sign, you stop, look, and go when safe. Not roll through at max speed. People also don't seem to know that a red arrow equals a no-turn on red sign.

I've been seeing electronic no-turn on red signs that can turn on/off with the light cycle. So if the opposite lane has the left green, the sign tells you not to turn on red. One would hope they're integrated into the cross walks too, (not that everyone uses those either).

I think the us has the worse road tests, mine was just some suburbs with 0 merges, no highways, a couple stops signs and maybe a light. Pretty much anyone driving for a day could have passed that thing, and that's how we end up with the bullshit like "the fast cruise lane (pass lane)" "right roll on red" "the merger has right away" "merge on highway 20miles(32kmh) slower than traffic" "blinker optional" "blinker on only when half way through turn or merge" "break before blinker" "wave of death on two lane roads" the list could go on and on....

The problem with firing the ones who argued for opt-out is that it wouldn't leave anyone else because they already fired the ones who argued for opt-in.

I have a few methods.

1. Post-it notes on the desk/wallet/steering wheel etc.
2. Simple Note Multiplatform; android, windows, iphone, and everyone's favorite mac linux. Like the name says, its simple and syncs. Operated or owned by same people behind WordPress.com and source is on github...although cloud synced I assume 0 privacy or backup.
3. Notes I actually want long term end up on paper or a text document.
4. Calendar events with email reminders.
5. Email to self (has low success rate)
6. Set alarm or timmer. The random alarm jogs my memory.

Fences are fine. Especially for young kids near the playground and streets.

Except the fact you need to maintain it (which will be in the form of a replacement every 73 years when enough kids get stabbed by it) and it needs to have enough exit points in case of emergency. It shouldn't funnel everyone to one spot in the front.

Its 2025, are most drivers ready for a 3rd dimension to keep track of?

God damn it, this is somehow the first I heard, and thought maybe its a prank.

I'm glad he made it to 100.

Hogwarts from the new game is a pretty great recreation too. Although, I'd rather live quietly in one of the side villages.

No, spread the word. Now you know Asus pre-builts are trash. Even if you dont care about Asus, someone was about to hit the buy button and avoided a cooperate scam.

Sounds amazing.

Start work 5 or 6. Stop work 1-2, have daylight for afternoon/evening activities. Sleep by 9.

Sure a 5am start would suck. But if you can adjust and pull it off, daylight after work all year would be worth it.

That stinks. Have you tried using openrgb or even windows lighting control? Might be time to take a tiny hammer to each light :p

Razor needs the software running to remember the key map or macros. Any special keys such as play/pause needed the fucking software. Even the mouse needs the software running to remember I set it to a static color.

Don't buy Razor.

Just turn it off? Or keep it as a backlight, set it to one solid color you like with brightness turned down to be subtle but useful.

You don't need to keep it on rgb puke.

Snark aside, pick a keyboard you like for the size/feel/features and find out if its a software nightmare (razer) or not before worrying about rgb (just make sure rgb can be configured).

Relevant xkcd

it didn't come back. But will do.

Not yet. Once their done with Start Trek and Star Wars, it will be Stargate's turn.

Add "lighting done so we actually see what the fucks going on". Sick of these dark, foggy, desaturated scene to hide the set budget was 12 cents.

Yeah, when I saw that shit I had a mini heart attack. Opened up process explorer to identify what was running. Found it was Asus and basically said "huh, how are you still here - delete"

If by last century, you mean 1900-1999; 2

If you mean in the last 100 years; 1. Which is honestly impressive all things considered.
