The only street racing I've seen IRL was out on a quiet road with lookouts on both ends to spot if cops / other cars were coming. There wasn't much danger to anyone but the drivers.
If comparing drunk driving to Fast & Furious street racing the answer might be different, but comparing to what I suspect is what more commonly happens in street racing, drunk driving is more dangerous.
If she expects marriages to last, yes, your history of five divorces is a red flag indicator that your feelings about marriage are incompatible.
I like the rocks and concept L best.
At least two have women in clothing with exposed arms and legs while the men are covered, including even their heads in some cases. In this year, 2025, are we still considering scientist man in serious thought versus swimming suit lady frolicking on the beach? Really?
I'm in design and manufacturing aerospace systems/components. And before that, design and manufacturing of laboratory instrumentation. Both were similar: options were 1) default Windows build for engineering functions and 2) default Windows build for non-engineering functions, or 3) an act of god to get something else approved. Security, monitoring, retention, I'm sure were all reasons. Also just simplifying the number of builds IT would have to accommodate.
Ive know one person who managed to get a Linux box approved. It was so they could use a particular aerodynamics software package, iirc. IT made them keep it off network and would not support it in any capacity.
I have a dent in my shin bone from a really big hit that didn't quite manage to break it. It's visible if you look close. I also feel rapid temperature/pressure changes there.

I went on a 10 day backpacking trip with no reception. I deleted my reddit apps and bookmarks before I went. So got over the withdrawals during the trip, and there was just enough friction to reinstall when I got back that I never bothered.
I was also very mad about them killing the API for 3rd party mod tools and the resulting slip into AI slop and misogynist claptrap on the sub I helped mod. It's an empty Internet wasteland now; just bots and MAGA incels yelling at each other.
Jesus, yes. And I'm a lady so I get the extra layer of dudes trying to gatekeep their "manly" hobby. I can go for a hat trick of perceived emasculation while I'm at it and tell them my deadlift form is better than theirs and that I know the best way to clean a trout.
Yep, over a dozen of 'em. Want one?
There's no buildabear OS stuff in my industry. If I replaced the OS on my work laptop with Linux, I would 1) not be able to access anything, or 2) if I got access I might get arrested at worst and have a serious talk coming from HR for security violation at best.
Personal: Linux with a secondary, occasionaly used box for things that only seem to work on Windows. Would just do a VM if I didn't already have a spare hand-me-down box.
Work: I'm not fighting that battle. If they deploy Windows, I'm using Windows.
Going 100% Linux, even just in personal use, is still not feasible for someone who doesn't want to make it one of their primary hobbies.
I start by evaluating whether it's 1) within my job responsibilities to be involved and 2) I feel personal obligation.
As you've described the situation, and also your personality with a strong avoidance of conflict, if I were in your shoes I might support my colleague by getting the person who is supposed to intervene. Maybe that's a manager or security if there's signs it might escalate to violence.
I'm not a bouncer, I'm not a security guard. I have no job obligation and no personal obligation to cut into a violent interaction. I can be more helpful by getting someone trained for and paid to deal with the situation.
If I'm the manager, I have more responsibility to intervene. If the person getting yelled at by the Karen is like, a family member or a close friend, I would be more likely to intervene. Work colleague does not invoke the same personal responsibility I feel towards friends and family. I would also not say this to my colleague in the way I've described in my paragraph.
