Okay so you get the promise of cheaper premiums for now….

Insurance companies of all types are greedy as fuck. This is temporary. This will get increased in the next 5 years, and I’m being conservative with that number because these slimy fucks will likely be trying to increase prices the next day after this goes into effect.

Supposedly you’ll get a cheaper premium today at the cost of not being reimbursed to make you whole tomorrow. So what happens when these same companies come back and want to increase your premium by $10? Are you now going to make parties whole by the same percentage? Likely not. And the cowardly government is just going to let them step on the public again.

And how does this work for out of state drivers in New York? You get into a wreck and you’re just fucked despite supposedly paying more than a New York driver who hit you?

Lmao this is the future we all dreamed of as kids. Talking to an AI who’s only concern is your preferred pronouns than actually helping you with what you need 😂

I imagine a good chunk of it is due to the various medications they take. Whereas most younger people don’t take the same types of medications or in combinations.

They honestly need to add “played hours” too. I can imagine a bunch of scumbag scalpers creating accounts now in anticipation and buying $1 games just to get around this last requirement to reserve. I doubt they can or will play on any of these accounts they create.

Problem is a bike won’t be as efficient or realistic for a long distance. A bus takes too many stops for longer distances and isn’t ideal in cold/hot conditions for waiting.

My job sent us out of town for a week and paid for Uber rides because the trip from the airport was over 20 miles. Too long for a bicycle and it wasn’t going to be fun to wait for a bus in the pouring rain where everyone was already crowded under the only shaded area. Not to mention the thought of doing public transportation when Covid was much more rampant.

Also better in bad areas. Public transportation in a bad neighborhood is a great way to get mugged or assaulted, especially if you’re a woman to be the target of some really nasty abuse, best outcome is verbal and worse is physical. And bicycle is about the same. People have easy access to assault you and catch you from behind while stopped. Not that you won’t from an Uber/taxi ride, but the risk is lower.

Also happens in the other way too, probably more often as the driver since you should have your eyes on the road more. But being in both spots, I’ve definitely felt eyes staring at me and looked to see them just staring in the mirror.

”Did I run a red light? Did they just ask me something and I zoned out and didn’t hear them? Did I just run over someone and didn’t notice? WHY ARE YOU STARING AT ME?!”

I did not know that but thanks for the insight! That makes that more clear where this came from.

Every fucking time. Last night I was having a bunch of crashes after normal use. And yep, it was related to the Nvidia driver…

Fuck off pedo

Reminds me of this Family Guy cutaway https://youtube.com/shorts/B5Uct7k5FPw

Even more of the reason to need a VPN.

I hope so. Fuck online multiplayer, single player (and couch coop) is where Halo shines and where it began.

Apples and oranges

I still have my 1080 powering in my Plex media server. That thing lasted me until the 4080 Super and was still going strong. While my friend struggled to play Cyberpunk on his Xbox, I was playing near release with next to no real game breaking issues. Also was still strong enough to play Half Life Alyx and other VR titles at decent performance. I and my friends couldn’t believe the levels of detail we could see in my VR headset with that GPU.

That was a good one lol took me a minute

He sounds like a tool. And I can’t get over him saying “I worked 7 days a week since Covid”. Bullshit.

I believe this wouldn’t be as simple on iPhone because there is no easy way to do the restore like that on the phone itself.

DFU mode could be used but you’d need to a computer to finalize the restore process and somewhere along the lines will require your Apple ID credentials. Either in iTunes/Finder or when setting up the phone after restore.

Unless the owner has relinquished their account from the phone, then this may be possible using that method.

But having a SIM lock is still an extra layer of protection against these kinds of attacks.

This actually did happen in Seattle, Washington. There are quite a few real life “super heroes” that dress up and patrol their respective cities. This one was named Phoenix Jones and he had the whole comic book hero costume and everything. There was a law that allowed people to fight as long as both people consented called Mutual Combat and that played a big into allowing him to do what he did.

But he did end up being pulled into court and they forced him to de-mask himself and reveal his true identity. He even had an “origin story”, though not as dramatic as something like Bruce Wayne, but still. He’s an interesting character to look into.

Consider my comment as just a brief summarization of this whole thing as an answer to your question.

I think this depends on which region the court is in, but like in the US, if the hero is the defendant or plaintiff, I don’t think any court would allow the hero to remain masked and without showing their identity. Best they could do is only reveal to some parties involved in the court case, but the identity is still exposed. I think the only exception may be if the hero is a witness, and even then, maybe not and would need to identify to some involved in the case. This is because many courts around the world require people to know who their accuser is and lawyers often will try to fight against this since a secret identity cannot be truly verified for the best results in a court determination.

It doesn’t help when a good chunk of their customer base still goes on a regular basis. I often see long lines at drive thrus in my area despite combos costing $10+.
