Where am I going? To make room for people trying to clear the intersection behind me. Failing to pull forward means they’re either stuck on the far side for another cycle of the light or they’re going to block the intersection. With really busy intersections leaving those big gaps can make a huge impact on traffic trying to get through the one behind you.

Tangent@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why Android camera app uses JPEG format?11·2 years agoThe overlap between “cares enough about image quality to not be okay with jpeg” and “doesn’t know to install a third party app” is probably too small for most manufacturers to care about.
Tangent@lemmy.worldto Cars - For Car Enthusiasts@lemmy.world•Get yourself a headlight restoration kit, it’s worth it!English1·2 years agoThe perfect middle ground happened for me with my 2001 E46. Modern headlight shape but with easily replaceable lenses. Gluing the damn things together is BS.

- Being able to take part in full sessions for a whole track day and be able to get home after
- Much less weight so you aren’t cooking the brakes and chewing up tires on track
- Minimal planning for road trips
- Much better flexibility on stops on road trips

Tangent@lemmy.worldto Malicious Compliance@lemmy.world•[REPOST] Won't Let Me Go To Jury Duty? Enjoy Being Questioned In Court2·2 years agoI’ve been on a jury a couple of times myself. The first time was boring and was a frustrating case. The second time was disturbing but very interesting and definitely a satisfying experience.
I understand that not everyone wants to serve if their employer doesn’t pay them; it can be a burden. Luckily mine does so I always look forward to summons in the hopes I get on a jury now.
Tangent@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How is consensus towards different theories measured among academics?English22·2 years agoIn modern media it pretty much just means they found two people who think that. If they want to get “official” they can arrange for polls to be done but those are very easily crafted to get the results they want.

Tangent@lemmy.worldto Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•ELI5: Why haven’t we fully explored the pyramids yet?English1·2 years agoThe base has a length of 230 meters on each side and the largest interior chamber measures roughly 10 x 5 x 6 meters so yeah, loads of dense solid stone there.
Tangent@lemmy.worldto Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•ELI5: Why haven’t we fully explored the pyramids yet?English1·2 years agoNot sure how old the program was OP watched but they found one void in 2017 using cosmic rays. I’m guessing the pyramids are way too solid for ultrasound or x-ray to work.

Tangent@lemmy.worldto Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•ELI5: Why haven’t we fully explored the pyramids yet?English8·2 years agoThe void isn’t like a room we simply haven’t entered, it’s more like the equivalent to an empty space inside the walls of your home. It’s there, but there are no passages leading to it. About 75-80% of the interior volume of the pyramids is solid stone as far as we know so it’s much less like a modern building and more of a huge pile of stones that happens to have a few open spaces with passages leading to them.
Here’s an article that includes an illustration showing just how solid they are as well as the recently discovered void and more info on how they found it using cosmic rays of all things: https://www.science.org/content/article/cosmic-rays-reveal-unknown-void-great-pyramid-giza
Tangent@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do some people still have hope for Reddit?3·2 years agoI don’t even think it needs to go for users and creators next; making moderation harder will have plenty of impact on its own. Many people seem to think mods randomly remove crap in some weird power trip. The reality is most are busy removing spam, abuse, shitposts, and the 5th submission of the same news link that’s still on the front page. Once unpaid mods start leaving they’ll have to implement automods that’ll just suck as they always do. The quality of every sub is going to go to hell pretty quickly.

Consciousness consists of bio-electricity of quantum energy. “Quantum” means an ennobling of the sensual. Nothing is impossible. To navigate the path is to become one with it.
Tangent@lemmy.worldto Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•Reddit to pay moderators and creators??30·2 years agoThey recently laid off 90 employees out of 700 total. There’s absolutely no way they’re about to start paying the roughly 21,000 moderators that are active on a daily basis. The fact that they’re actively vilifying moderators as spoiled children wanting everything for free (gotta love that irony) really slams the door on any possibility of treating them with respect, let alone actual compensation for actually running the damn place.

Tangent@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK how to find the proper air pressure for your tires5·2 years agoYou should also know that normal driving will raise the temperature and therefore the pressure of your tires. This means if you’ve been driving for a while and set your your pressure to exactly what that placard says, you’re most likely going to have low pressure the next morning. Tire pressure should be set when cold. If that’s not possible, add about 4 psi more when you’re at the pump. The next morning you can use any cheap pressure gauge to check and let some air out to correct if necessary.
Tangent@lemmy.worldto Malicious Compliance@lemmy.world•r/aww holding a vote on malicious complianceEnglish7·2 years agoDo you know of any generators that create things that are in English, seem normal at first glance, but are actually nonsensical? Things like “has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?”
I’d like something plausible enough to be accepted by an AI model but that ends up making it sound like it’s having a stroke.
In my area the biggest factor is multiple families purchasing homes together. When you’re splitting the mortgage it’s a lot more affordable.
