Its time for the autopsy report to shine some light on that taint.

Oh well never met one, and from the little I know they can vary somewhere between late middle ages pilgrims up to the run of the mill religious person with a weird hat.

Instructions unclear, I now have an erection and a browser tab with badly translated Chinese characters.

Have you considered some graffiti?

The guy playing this is triggering me, is it their first time playing Mario?

Other than that, I wonder if Nintendo would have become less of a douchebag company if they released more on PC, or it was inevitable.

Yeah but it's like 9/11, all it will do is allow even crazier nutjobs to feel vindicated and make things even worse.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

In what way? I assume they must have been familiar with how it worked, or was it like performing a magic trick?

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Yeah, lucked out there unfortunately, even a car is the better option it seems.

For years I had the luxury of train + subway to work, it was bliss because the train was the long part of the commute and it was quite good, and the subway was crowded but fairly short and very frequent.

Long urban bus routes suck in general, especially if there are no dedicated bus lanes.

It's pretty obvious that the goal was specifically to allow Carroll to sue Trump

No, it is not, and it's revolting to me that you'd think that. More than 3000 suits were filed in 1 year under the Adult Survivors Act, are all those "happy little accidents", or do those people mean nothing and you only care about that one case?

Also, you're omitting the broader context of the ASA: New York's had a 3 year statute of limitations for civil suits for sexual assault, and they changed it to 20 years.

This was not retroactive, however, so the ASA was passed to allow alleged victims to bring up their cases.

Another point is that they mentioned motorbike.

Presumably, if done by car the trip would take much longer due to traffic, and be a lot more expensive because of gas+tolls.

Also, come winter, a nearly 2h drive in piss poor weather is a miserable experience.

On a train, you can sleep all that time!

If you're gonna be picking nits, then at least commit to it.

Trump was found legally liable for sexual assault (and defamation). This is a civil verdict, and it means that the jury found it more likely than not that these things happened. The judge also clarified that the jury's finding meets the "common, everyday definition of rape", so while it doesn't meet the highly specific statutory requirements of New York (which required penile penetration), it is rape.

There was no criminal case, however, and the word "convicted" is specifically used for criminal trials, so it can't be used here.
The bar is also different: the criminal standard is "beyond reasonable doubt", while for a civil case it's "preponderance of evidence" (ie, more likely than not).

I don't think anyone doubts it happened, but a criminal trial can be gruelling and ultimately lead to nothing. At least she got some vindication, even if it falls short of locking that disgusting scumbag for good.

 

Just saw the post about Helsinki opening several bridges for a similar purpose, so thought I'd share this here as well.

Porto Metro system didn't exist until around 20 years ago. Just last year, it carried more than 90 million people, and it's not stopping.

While traffic in Porto has actually gotten worse, as tourism and building rehabilitation have exploded, the investment in the metro continues.

This bridge is part of the new "Ruby line", and will provide another much needed way of crossing the Douro river, and will be exclusively used by pedestrians and cyclists, along with the metro.

This line is great because it will connect the other existing lines to a university campus and a large shopping center, while serving a fairly high density area where the residents mostly work in Porto, and have to commute daily.

 

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to control a "dumb" led light strip segment with an ESP-01S. This is fairly low current, the strip will pull 150mA-200mA max (depends on... artistic? needs).

I have two NPN transistors (2N2222), one to control the 12V supply to the white "channel" and the other the red+blue (don't need the green).

I had to pull-down the gates as I had some flickering, and it works perfectly if I manually connect the GPIOs after the ESP-01S boots.

The ESP will boot if I have the RX pin (GPIO03) pulled down on boot, but not if I pull down any of the others.

I'm not smart enough to come up with a way to have that extra pin I need to be high only during boot, while the gate it's attached to needs to be pulled down...

Any thought, other than getting something with more IO pins?
