The police didn’t cause the chase. They participated in it, of course but I don’t think it’s reasonable to hold them responsible for the chase happening in the first place. The drug dealer(s?) could have stayed put.

eta: I am by no means a police apologist or a “back the blue” type, either. There is plenty wrong with how police do the job they have but this isn’t that

This is a good plan

For me, living this experience regularly, it’s that I don’t want to eat it, but fat-lizard-brain grabs the wheel and I’m just along for the ride.

I would get bored of a D&D session that started the exact same way every time I fucked up and died though. I’m not great at these games and I am embarrassed to say I was killed more than once on my first playthrough before even leaving the crash site.
Hoping mods or expansions (which seem unlikely) open the world up a lot more and allow for other starting scenarios.

I love that the tail hanging down sort of looks like it’s his testicles and the base of the shaft that needs to be censored but the tip is just fine

January 4, 2012 -had been playing skyrim like I needed the overtime for just about 2 weeks. Off on a ski trip, and someone was seated nearby, but facing away. My first thought was how I could pickpocket them…

I’d argue it’s actually “most places” rather than “many”. It’s not so obvious in day-to-day life but like if I had to take an ambulance tonight, me and my estate would be on the hook for the bill, but a billionaire would not be.

Not a programmer, but I can definitely attest that TV Medicine is wildly inaccurate. From CPR (method, success rate, reason for initiating) to the usefulness of various imaging modalities; it’s like watching a gardener plant a whole watermelon and growing a sky-high beanstalk the following morning.

A really fun intersection of both of these was the episode of Bones I saw once when visiting my dad, where some corpse had a microscopic code etched in its femur that then hijacked/hacked the CT machine computer when scanned.
