Parking Karma Served Cold
And now maybe she knows better.
He parked correctly beside her, hardly treating it as "some kind of huge crime". She'd keep doing this if it didn't affect her.
it probably didn't seem like a big deal to her at the time.
Get off your phone!
No, the junction they come to right at the end is 2-way.
Were they making an escape the wrong direction down a one-way street at the end??
Arresting Cable Snaps During E-2 Landing - USS Eisenhower
To be fair, this landing probably will be in textbooks
I thought they had about 4 cables to hit, and they try to hit the 2nd or 3rd?
So yeah, I just read the article linked above. I don't get it. They call it a "textbook landing", but then say the pilot hit the 4th and final cable.
How the NFL's magic yellow line works.
That soccer one at 3:26 - I thought that was a canvas laid on the ground, printed to look 3D from the perspective of the main camera. Does it vary or is one of us wrong?
No Man's Sky Expectations Vs. Reality
I have seen many people criticise the game. I have not seen anyone criticise it for not being linear enough or a lack of hand holding.
Also, not doing enough research isn't hypocrisy.
No Man's Sky Expectations Vs. Reality
Pokemon Go expectations: I'm getting robbed at gun point and trampled by a crowd of total idiots running into the street to catch a Charizard. Get out of the fucking intersection!!
Pokemon Go reality: There's another Digley or Pigley or whatever the fuck it's called in my garden.
Woman almost hits biker by merging, gets caught by cops
This driver will only absorb those instructions if she thinks that there might actually be consequences for her actions.
Is this really worth involving police in? I am with him for a honk or two, a bit of cursing and giving opulent instructions on how to acquire better driving habits. Then get on with your life.
Captain Europe (Captain America Parody)
Wait, doesn't the A on the helmet stand for America? Why do these guys all have it?
Starting to think these are fake...
Graphics card woes
I own a 970 and I'm not particularly concerned. I think it was an accidental error by Nvidia which affects them (egg on face) more than it affects me (imperceptible performance loss).
star wars prequel-nostalgia critic gets owned by Mr plinkett
Whoever put this together is rather dishonest.
NC: "These lightsaber battles looked prettier (but the plot/characters sucked)"
P: "These lightsaber battles suck because of the plot/characters (but at least they look pretty)"
OH THEY'RE SO DIFFERENT!
Truckchase, he's none of those things. The Big Bang Theory?! If you also think that TBBT is cheap, lousy comedy then NC might be right up your street. He's definitely not upbeat.
Flipped Tortoise Gets a Helping Hand
It's cute now but having overcome their one weakness, surely it's just a matter of time before they rule the world.
Insurance scammer goes the extra mile
What happened next?
It would be so satisfying to get out and point out the cam but he'd just run away. It would probably be better to hide the camera and let this asshole get the police involved.
Watch the Luckiest Soccer Goal in Recorded History
I'd guess he tried to flick it over the defender and himself and run onto it. As the ball was behind him he had to improvise and such a flick wouldn't especially outlandish - I've done it - but it's certainly easy to get it wrong and over-do it.
@Sagemind, it was behind him. The guy who scored, the ball was behind him - it's downright indecent to score that. If I gave you a thousand goes to do the same, you probably couldn't get the ball to go 5 yards in front of you - never mind get it to sail 40 yards over a goalkeeper's head and under the crossbar.
I'd love to know if that was intentional.
Audi Traffic Light Assistance
I really don't think it would ever tell anyone to drive at 5MPH down main street. The people making this have probably given the system enough thought to take reasonable driving speeds into account.
I also doubt that a significant number of people would follow that sort of instruction. There are a lot of stupid and/or selfish drivers out there but not many who would inconvenience themselves in this manner. (By reputation, Audi drivers aren't often accused of driving too slowly.)
Aren't lights typically timed to help people make them at the speed limit, regardless of how busy the area is (as the speed limit is already accounting for this)? I'm certainly not going to condemn anyone for driving over the speed limit but if other drivers who do stick to the limit are a problem then you shouldn't be driving. Besides, we'll have to get used to keeping to the speed limits when our cars drive themselves.
OK, you are correct. This tech likely would only direct bad drivers to go 5mph to make the lights on main street (and I say 5mph because some lights are (or at least used to be) timed to make it impossible to 'make the lights' unless you go that slow, this is done intentionally to slow traffic in high traffic/pedestrian areas...it was a worst case scenario but one that happens).
My worry is that many if not most people are inconsiderate enough that if their car directs them to go 5mph, they'll do it without question.
Once the cars drive themselves, if this issue is not taken care of, then it's a bad technology.

@yellowc
Changing your speed by 5 MPH or even 5 KMPH (3 MPH) could be a problem. Changing your speed to 5 MPH, as newtboy said, just seems to be drawing massive, ridiculous assumptions about how this works, as if no one at Audi would realise that this would be terrible.
You don't go anything like as far as him. Lines like "this doesn't excuse your product for not working" still imply an assumption about how effective this is that I didn't get from the video but the video is fairly low on substance.
If you're intending to be dismissive then I disagree but a certain level of cynicism is healthy.
