I’m planning to go on a long trip around the country where speed limits are ridiculously low, even on highways, and that’s all the road police care about (even the slightest of speed-limit infringements) and was wondering if a radar/speeding-camera detector would be worth it....
I definitely do not plan to speed within cities, that’s for sure!
It’s just for country roads, which is where I’ve been caught going 85 km/h on a deserted highway with a 80 km/h speed limit. It was a ridiculous situation where they refused the bribe and almost made me lose my driver’s license.
Also, I wouldn’t call it pocket change as the average bribe would be costlier than (or at least the same as) your average speed radar detector in the local auto shops. I’ve just never owned one and was wondering if it’s a sham.
Perhaps you’re right. I don’t think I’m particularly wealthy looking, but I for sure don’t have the negotiating skills when it comes to law. What do you usually tell them?
I’ve been thinking about it but Amazon here is not an option and other local shops are not very trustworthy. The warranty they give is about 3 months on average, or none at all.
A great answer, thank you. A hall of nitrogen horrors does seem like a perfect entrance to a lich’s underground castle. Perhaps an ‘isekaid’ lich from our world would do exactly that (reminds me of Nazarick). Or a different but very similar element could be less violent in the way it affects living beings but still dangerous for a 1h+ descent. Interesting!
Oh, I see. Was wondering what all the fuss is about. Originally I assumed it was a budget (but maybe quality) Android alternative to something like Samsung, so the price surprised me.
Thank you for sharing your real thoughts and being straightforward. Very educational. Appreciated. Not many people here have the balls to say the hard truth, for whatever reason.
With the simultaneous rollout of restrictions on account sharing and price increases/addition of advertising, I’m cutting back severely on streaming services....
It’s pisseasy to download the highest quality movies imaginable at any point in time, anywhere, totally free of charge. Makes no sense to ever even think about paying for any of the “streaming services”.
The PlayStation Network store leaves a lot to be desired in terms of features available on other digital storefronts, but from today, a highly requested feature started rolling out to provide users with more information regarding games available for purchase on PlayStation 5....
Are you thinking that anything that originated in Russia must be some homogeneous mass that can only be contained there?
My friend works for them. Guess where he’s from?
And why is it such an unbelievable thing really? Is it not possible for a giant company to employ people from different backgrounds? Or does it make you feel uncomfortable knowing that some Russians and Ukrainians still work together? I’m quite perplexed it’s even a debate at this point. There’s nothing to argue about, mate.
EU does affect you. You are not living in a bubble. We are all in the same boat. But that’s not what I meant at all, I said that where this is happening, you won’t trick them so easily because they actually put effort into what they’re doing…
Would you do that every single day of your life, no matter the circumstances and never ever slip even a little bit?.. that’s exactly how these systems have data on everyone. And AI makes it so a human doesn’t have to waste 2000hrs to detect it where you stumbled once.
I’m usually a fan of open source games but rarely do they manage to be actually great. People like giving recommendations like Super Tux Kart that haven’t aged well and don’t play well. What are some open source games that are legitimately good that I’ve missed?...
Why is Lemmygrad hated in the wider space of Lemmy?
I’ve been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?
