Ah, so I should divide all of the numbers in your graphic in half to get to something reasonable then.

Cops can always find a reason to pull you over. Also, they have no obligation to tell you why they did so. 1 mph over the speed limit? Valid traffic stop. You slowly drifted from the right side of the lane to the left side? Valid traffic stop in the eyes of the law.

Is it bullshit? Yes. Illegal? No.

Is the driver in the OP still required to provide his license when pulled over?

Yes.

The vast majority of the 100 most common words in English are still inherited Germanic words.

English shares a common Germanic ancestor with German. German and English are sisters.

Yeah, cuz howling at the moon definitely isn't something regular wolves are known for.

No, see, it should be allowed when we agree with the people making the disruption. Otherwise absolutely not!

Kinda brilliant on the class president's part - still give the speech and get the media coverage for it, but do it before commencement so they're less likely to steal your diploma as a result.

OK, so we know the game in question is not Dark Souls, because the great scythe is fast, hits like a truck, has massive range, and has bleed.

An awful lot of the neckbeards from the comic in these comments.

Linus Tech Tips has just set the world record for calculating the most digits of pi, at 300,000,000,000,000 (three hundred trillion), breaking the former record of 202 trillion set in 2024.

Here's the video they made about it if you're interested.

 

Some pretty messed up stuff.

Not sure why the Youtube link is in German - the video is in English, and I don't live in Germany.

I've been using Linux Mint exclusively for a year and a half now, and I've gotten pretty used to the ecosystem, but I don't want to have to wait another year for them to implement HDR support for video playback. I also don't want to go through the effort of fully swapping distros (don't have time to completely reorganize my workflow at the moment, etc.).

Does anyone have a recommendation for a distro that I could run in RAM from a USB stick with an up-to-date version of KDE Plasma or another DE when I want to watch HDR movies?

Or, if I'm overthinking this and there's another obvious, simpler solution, please feel free to let me know that as well.

Edit: I thought about running Alpine Linux in RAM, but I'd have to reinstall Plasma every time I rebooted since I'm pretty sure it doesn't come with a DE by default.

Edit 2: Thanks for all of the helpful comments everyone! For those asking, live USB are usually pretty slow and clunky in my experience when they run from the USB stick, and I wasn't sure if that would interfere with video playback.

I think I'm just going to try a KDE Neon live USB and see if I can get HDR video working that way, without trying to run it from RAM. Thanks again!

 

Inspired by this post by Randall Munroe.

I want something that does basically the same thing - mirror the keyboard's letter and common punctuation keys - but while pressing either of the Alt keys instead of using CapsLock. Also, I use Dvorak, not QWERTY.

I'd rather use my thumb as the modifier so that reaching the shift key in addition to the modifier key doesn't mess with my finger movement too much, and this way I'll be able to type one-handed with either my left or right hand. Also, I never use any of the Alt shortcuts that use the letter/punctuation keys, so getting rid of those shortcuts won't be a problem

Any ideas on how this could be accomplished? I'm on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon (but also have a Mint MATE laptop that I'd like to replicate this on, if possible).

Edit: All I've tried so far is checking the keyboard layout options to try to turn off Alt shortcuts activating the top bar of applications, to free them up for the shortcuts I'd need, but no luck so far.

 

Not a lot of spec specifics, but a good review from a retro gaming angle.
