I have the same problem. My biggest issue is looking for a resource for "something that does the thing I want but I don't know what it's called."

I can read code pretty well otherwise. It's depressing because over the decades I've always wanted to program, and the motivation is high, but the results just don't show.

If you buy RAM make sure to hide it somewhere safe. Maybe in the same spot you'd hide drugs or money.

Spoken like a true leftist. /s

It's the ongoing maintenance, just like how calibrating cars to exact speeds is expensive, so too are radar and laser guns. So the burden is on the radar/laser guns because there are fewer of them. And the calibration cannot be performed on site, as the unit your testing against also has to be calibrated to a much higher degree and you're not going to throw it in the back of a truck and drive it around risking damage. And in the event of someone disputing, it's up to the state to produce proof of calibration rather than the individual proving it was not. It's an expensive process, as anyone who uses specialized tools (not limited to law enforcement) would tell you.

Now, it's possible that the calibrations aren't done, and people don't question them and get tickets. But you want the ones that don't constantly make mistakes. 20ish years ago DC put up cameras and it was sending tickets across the entire US because it wasn't reading plates correctly. They had to hire more people to cross reference any matches with the make and model of the car just to double check, and that was a lot of eyes that needed paying. Even though a lot of it is automated today, you're still paying a premium over putting a camera on a stick.

This is also about who has the most checkmarks, not whether or not the checkmark is good or bad.

Did we forget Nintendo shut down their entire store just to open a new one?

This is me, except there was one time I was invited to a brewery and drank a dark beer. It was really good, but unfortunately I don't drink alcohol much and I didn't remember what it was. Turns out many years later and beer still tastes so nasty I wouldn't even drink it to get drunk. I still try a dark brew every once in a while, but end up never finishing it because it's so bad.

Makes me wonder if it was something else, like a cider and I forgot.

To be fair, they are not making the law, nor are they making the punishment. They are only determining guilt. If that requires education, then it's the courts job to do so during the trial so the jury can make an informed choice. And in the most extreme cases, all the jurors must come to a consensus - meaning that as a whole, the outcome is beyond reasonable doubt regardless of who is in the jury.

To do any less means to give certain individuals more power. And we have special cases for that too, as not everything requires a jury. So unless you're willing to give up all power, this should be a sufficient balance of power.

Jury duty still sucks though.

I'm kind of confused, both games currently support the current platform and were not broken. Is it typical for them to add games to the preservation program like this? I thought it was for games that no longer work on modern systems, or idk preservation. It's a good thing to be sure, but my reaction is just "what?".

I think you mean ffxiv?
