Learn the command line. Embrace the command line.
And thank you I’ll check them out when I finally switch back
On a scale of Ubuntu install to LFS, how would you rate qemu’s difficulty to install?
I…. dislike gnome. I’m not using Linux now, but I’m moving back if I’m forced to change to Windows 11.
Is there a KDE equivalent?
No. I grew up in one. I had to deal with drunk college kids. One even rear ended me in a parking lot. So much weed smoke.
Never again. Now, I specifically avoid college towns.
You’re making assumptions here.
Scenario 1: You’re assuming that everyone is observing adequate stopping distance, has working brakes, and is adequately paying attention to slow down.
Scenario 2: You’re assuming that green means it’s safe to go and that the cross traffic light turns green simultaneously with a given light going red.
Let’s address the easy stuff first.
In scenario 2, if my light just turned red that means the opposite light just turned green. This isn’t how stop lights work in practice. Usually, both sides of traffic are stopped momentarily before a light turns green such that traffic in the intersection can clear. Also, if you see a stop light that’s red you are usually slowing down. In other words, right before cross traffic gets a green light they are either stopped or slowing down, assuming they can adequately pay attention.
Cars have mass. You don’t instantaneously go from 0 speed to speed limit. It takes a ramp up time. It is generally low risk to run a stop light immediately following a light change.
Now to address both scenarios, we have to talk about defensive driving.
- Never assume someone is doing the right thing. If your light turns green, make sure cross traffic is slowing down before you proceed. Be ready to slam on your brakes if someone is going to blow through a red light late and at speed
- You can’t break physics. If the person behind you is not able to stop and you can safely make it through the intersection, do so. Otherwise, pick the safer of two accidents and learn from your mistakes.
Agreed, but defense driving dictates that you should be aware of the tailgating asshole behind you
Red light cameras cause accidents because people slam on their brakes too hard.
Hey that makes two of us!
Ain’t nothing but a heartache?
Well, I guess I’m surprised because Judge Cannon was criticized for trying to find arguments for Trump and it feels like SCOTUS was doing the same thing. I suppose one federal court judge doesn’t have the impact SCOTUS does so they may need to consider more than what is presented
Right, and per the opinion, Amendment 14 sections 3 and 5 specifically take rights away from the States to delegate for the federal government.
