Comment Googling Something == Racist? (Score 1) 709

Searches containing racist epithets and jokes were spiking across the country during Trump's primary run

And searches for "covfefe" probably spiked after that infamous tweet. Doesn't mean everyone searching for it knew what the fuck they were searching for.

If you want to accuse someone of racism, you need more than "they googled something". Otherwise, all you are doing is accusing them of thought crimes.

"I will gladly give you my password, but only in the presence of my lawyer, and only if the phone is also present and immediately unlocked in front of both my lawyer and myself. All data collection must then be performed right then and there, in front of both my lawyer and myself. Before the phone leaves my sight, I get to change the password and relock it. Only myself and my lawyer will know this new password. My lawyer will know it because, since I cannot take my usual time coming up with a new password, I will most likely forget it."

Not to mention the rubber banding

If "rubber banding" means what I think it means, make sure that Smart Steering is turned off. It is on by default, and annoyed the hell out of me every time it activated, because I had no idea why I was suddenly being pulled away from the direction I was trying to drive.

When selecting kart parts, press +/- to bring up the stats screen, and the left-most option will be for Smart Steering.

In addition there's a huge selection of cars and wheels and other crap to choose from, you end up spending 10 minutes setting up the race and 3 minutes playing.

I'll admit there are a lot of options to go through, but is there any particular reason you are selecting a completely different kart configuration on match 2, and match 3, and 4, and 5, and so on?

Comment Re:Typical Wells Fargo... Steal as much as possibl (Score 1) 79

Each teller I encounter is flabbergasted that a non-customer can walk in, make them do some actual work, and get money without any fees attached.

As someone who has never worked in banking or finance, that is news to me as well. How did you learn that they were required to do that?

Since we're talking about something that happened tens of thousands or maybe hundreds of thousands of years ago, I'm guessing that "PDA" does not refer to "Personal Digital Assistant". "Public Displays of Affection" also does not seem to make sense. So what does PDA mean in this context?

If you ride with a navigator who always tell you to turn right or left, you don't learn the route.

Currently, I always use a SatNav system to get anywhere new. Yet after a few trips, I find that I can make the trip without the SatNav. But in my younger years I did have to rely on a paper map, so maybe that is why I eventually learn it, and someone who has never been without SatNav would never learn the route.

But in my view, free space can be explained as not inherently incriminating in the same way that free space on a regular hard drive is not incriminating

Can, but I suspect that someone who is willing to resort to "rubber-hose cryptanalysis" probably doesn't care about things like that.
