Maybe I'm focusing on the wrong part but... a thousand dollars in damages? I know a lot of people in the states can't rub two dimes together, but a thousand dollars is like... nothing. Especially for the government and not some guy working two jobs.

They're claiming he should go to jail for 10 years for maybe causing a thousand dollars of damage to public property? I bet a single church could put together a bake sale one time and raise a thousand dollars.

Obviously if the tables were flipped, and some guy was out there breaking drinking fountains and cutting down trees in a park I'd be pissed... but this doesn't even feel like an interesting lie!

To be fair, my example was illustrative. The equivalent would simply be:

3 5 8 + 2 * 17 36 9 / - + +

3
3 5
3 5 8
3 5 8 +
3 13
3 13 2
3 13 2 *
3 26
3 26 17
3 26 17 36
3 26 17 36 9
3 26 17 36 9 /
3 26 17 4
3 26 17 4 - 
3 26 13
3 26 13 +
3 39
3 39 +
42

Or

3 + (((5 + 8) * 2) + (17 - (36 / 9)))

Hell yeah! Now we just have to ban them from everywhere else, all of the time!

I love Godot, and this is great, but it's also probably inflated a bit because game jams are a great time to try things. New code, short time frame, low commitment.

That's not to say that it doesn't count, it totally does, and it's not to say that it's not great advertising, and some people were likely impressed and will start using it in their day jobs. But it isn't necessarily representative of the industry, even the indie industry. For some people it will unfortunately have been a summer fling...

But I bet in a few weeks there'll be a ton of videos called like "I used this FREE engine and you wouldn't believe what I thought!!!" 😛

Does he face growing questions? Does he? Because I have a strong feeling he's facing questions in the same way that rocks might.

I don't know who the non-psychotic person is he'll think about from time to time, but I have to assume it's Violet 😉😛

I like what you were going for, but I'm pretty sure "that" is "ðat", and "þat" would be like "thot", but with an "a". I think.

The difference between them is ð is voiced, as in your throat is making sound and vibrating, whereas þ is voiceless, meaning it's just air and your throat is still, but the rest of your mouth is in the same shape.

This is similar to how, for my accent at least, "v" and "f" are the same mouth shape, and one is voiced and the other isn't.

In the link you posted to the original question, it has a section on self hosting. That link takes you here where they say there are two servers.

Also, the documentation for Self Hosting basically starts by saying there are two servers.

I'm not sure how you self hosted it without hearing about it 😛

 

Hey folks! I know a while back there was a kerfuffle because syncthing-fork for Android went dark, and then a new person showed up and claimed everything was cool and they'd been privately given the keys or something, and people were concerned. I pinned my fdroid version to the at-that-time-current release until we got clarity.

Well, it's been a while and I just noticed I'm still on that old release. So... how'd it turn out? Do we like the new person yet? Is there a promising fork y'all are using? Or is the project dead? I'm sure I could just go look at the repo, but I'm also sure the repo would tell me "yeah, we're all cool" no matter what, so I'm curious what the community feelings are. Have there even been any useful new releases since then?

Thanks!

 

Hey folks! Back in the PS2 days I had Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and besides the quests and stuff I also loved just driving around and going on little road trips and stealing planes.

And then in the PS3 era I had Just Cause 2, and the voice acting was terrible, and the quests were kinda dumb, but wow was it fun to just drive around and go on little road trips and steal planes. And your dumb little hookshot was nearly immersion breaking it was so unrealistic, but instead it was a ton of fun zipping through the air from 150 paces to kick a dude off his motorbike...

Anyway, I'm wondering what people's opinions are on these kinds of games these days! I know Cyberpunk has some driving, but I don't know if people enjoy cruising in it. I really liked Breath of the Wild, which is not really the same but had some screwing around times. I know there's a GTA 5 which I never played but it's probably good, I think there's a Just Cause 3 but I haven't looked into it. Some people love Red Dead 2, which I mostly bounced off of but maybe I was wrong.

Do you folks have any favourites in this "genre"? Things I should check out? Stories of worthless hijinks? Thoughts?

 

Hello! I've just started using StreetComplete, and I want to make sure I understand the answers before I go through and make a bunch of garbage data.

In this picture, is the kerb a ramp, or flush?

The sidewalk deflects downwards, but it's not a ramp ramp like the example picture.

How about this one?

The kerb itself dips, but the sidewalk on this one looks more flat and does simply run into the road. And then it has the texture, obviously. Is this one different from the last one?

Also, just to check, I marked both of these sidewalks as "concrete". That's correct, right? I wondered about "concrete plate", because they're segmented, but the picture made concrete plate look much more substantial.

My other question was based on the "lit" tag for a bus stop. This bus stop has a street light near it, but there's no light on the bus stop itself. It sounds like that means it is lit? Would a non-lit stop just be one that is fully dark at night, then, with no kind of lighting anywhere near it at all?

This one is further from the street light, but still has line of sight. Lit?

Thanks very much for any help you have!

 

Hello folks! I have these switches in my bathroom.

The rightmost is the lights, and the middle one is the bathroom fan, and I'd like to replace that middle one with something I could load tasmota on (or some other open source firmware), without replacing the other switch, the sockets, or the faceplate.

I haven't seen any smart switches that have a form factor that would fit through this faceplate, though; they seem to mostly want to be the entire electrical box.

If it weren't for the electrical plugs I could maybe replace this with some kind of 2-gang thing, which isn't really what I want but could be fine, but as it stands I'm not sure what my options here are.

I don't need the new switch to necessarily look like the old one, I just want it to fit in the same box and use the same faceplate. Do you folks have any recommendations?
