  • You conveniently left out the rest of the law…

    (1) No person may turn a vehicle from a direct course or move right or left upon a highway unless and until such movement can be made with reasonable safety, and then only after giving an appropriate signal in the manner hereinafter provided, in the event any other vehicle may be affected by the movement.
    (2) A signal of intention to turn right or left must be given continuously during not less than the last 100 feet traveled by the vehicle before turning, except that such a signal by hand or arm need not be given continuously by a bicyclist if the hand is needed in the control or operation of the bicycle.
    (3) No person may stop or suddenly decrease the speed of a vehicle without first giving an appropriate signal in the manner provided herein to the driver of any vehicle immediately to the rear, when there is opportunity to give such signal.
    (4) The signals provided for in s. 316.156 shall be used to indicate an intention to turn, to overtake, or to pass a vehicle and may not, except as provided in s. 316.2397, be flashed on one side only on a parked or disabled vehicle or flashed as a courtesy or “do pass” signal to operators of other vehicles approaching from the rear. (5) A violation of this section is a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a moving violation as provided in chapter 318.


  • There isn’t a federal law on turn signal use that I can find and it’s left up to the individual states. Every law I looked at said you have to have a continuous signal before the turn and when turning into a different lane. I did not see any exceptions listed anywhere, including turn lanes.

    When turning from a turn lane, to a different lane, that is a change of lane and therefore falls under the law. If you have any other evidence to the contrary or happen to live in a state that I didn’t check where that is an exception, I and the others here would love if you’d source that. If you can’t, then you’re just making shit up and should just take the “L”.








  • I had the same phone, and the only reason I replaced it was because the USB C port was finicky. It must have been damaged at some point and when plugged in, the cable had to be just right. Wireless charging works great, but I wanted the stability of being able to plug in and know it would discharge over night when I didn’t have a wireless charger. Otherwise, I had no issues with the battery, and I got the phone when it was pretty new to the market. I swapped it out just a few months back, and it’s going to be my test phone for grapheneOS and may end up being a communal remote.








  • It’s not needed if their argument is based in religion. I would also say, if this person believes that an unborn child is alive and that abortion is bad, then I would suggest this person doesn’t get an abortion. Also, someone else’s medical situation is none of their business.

    I personally believe that entertaining someone else’s view on this topic that thinks it should be illegal, is a problem. It’s akin to giving flat earthers a platform to spew their shit. I’m all in on aggressively shaming people for their back ass views, and if they don’t like that, they can fuck off.

    I know that’s an emotional response that doesn’t work in places like Congress, but fuck these people. The people writing laws against abortion don’t care what the people have to say. There are very few politicians that actually listen to and represent their constituents. It’s wasted effort to try and have a civilized debate on a topic like abortion with them, because they have already decided what they’re going to do, and nothing any of us says will change it. If I can shame someone enough that they at least shut the fuck up, then that’s at least something, because nobody that’s entrenched in their abortion views are likely to change from one person’s opinion. It’s like Nazis prior to Trump. Clearly, they were always here, hiding in the woodwork waiting for their opening, and trump normalized it.


  • Microsoft is such trash. It’s truly amazing how much they’ve enshitified over the past 10+ years. Their OS versions have consistently been bad since Win 7, with a minor uptick when win 10 cam out, but that was on the heels of win 8.1, so it mostly was better by comparison. Server hasn’t gotten better, same general product with a worse interface. They oddly duplicate some products like business or personal Skype, OneDrive, new v old teams, and new v old Outlook, the new that still doesn’t work properly even having been out for over a year. The obvious yet egregious spying and data collection on top of the forced ads in the OS that most people have paid for. The hard push to force users to sync everything with OneDrive. It’s all just trash.

    Now you have the huge investment in copilot. Anecdotally, it’s also trash and over priced. Every software I use for work has somehow got ties or available ties to copilot and we have initiatives to try and shoehorn that trash into our business. It’s consistently a worse and unpredictable solution across the board. I personally think it’s pretty clear at this point that all of the LLMs have peaked, the huge companies have already surpassed the peak usefulness and accuracy of these models, and now they are trying to claw back as much as they can to recoup loses. It’s not going to be successful, because while tons of businesses are investing, there are far more that won’t or can’t because it’s so price prohibitive. I’m fucking here for it. Watching any company that replaced people with AI or forced users to use it and kept metrics in utilization go under would give me more schadenfreude than I’ve ever experienced.
