The motorcar lobby has really done a number on Americans when it comes to the idea of "jaywalking".
I'm watching A Gift For Christmas (2017). The female protagonist is #cycling furiously and not watching the road ahead and runs over the male protagonist who is using what appears to be a pedestrian crossing in #Philadelphia.
The "#jaywalking is bad" culture is so ingrained that it is presented as perfectly normal that not only do the police allow the careless speeding rider to get off scott free, they even let the rider claim the victim pedestrian's personal effects (including keys) and hand the perpetrator the victim's pet without blinking.
Is #MelissaHill's A Gift To Remember just as steeped in anti-pedestrian thinking?
Reading Title 75 Chapter 35 of the #Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, it appears that this isn't merely a fictional conceit. The law really is this bad.
The cyclist might be liable for a $10 fine (sic!) under §3502.
It says it all that my only reaction reading this was 'wow, Texas Instruments is still trading?!'

@roknrol LCD for my phone is sadly phase out in the Tech Hub near here where I made an inquiry. If I really wanted to they will order in other Tech Hub & I have to wait for a week or 2. Their option was just to buy a new one which I wasnt able to do when I did my inquiry since i dont have enough to buy one. $29 i guess.

I do have a question regarding loops. Is this only an issue for me or does someone else experience the same?
If you upload a landscape video on the web UI it does look fine while uploading in all the previews. As soon as the upload is completed the video is getting shrunk down hard for the web making it nearly impossible to consume.
Anyone found a solution for that?
@yora that's funny. The other way around people would complain that following tags doesn't show everything 🤪
(also Lang isn't detected but set and not all Fedi software sets lang at all or the user set it wrong)
@bekopharm
Most upload issues I got was because my file was to large or it is longer than a minute.
But yeah a missing error message and no possibility to retry is really annoying. You need to start from scratch every time.
Also the description was shortened to 200 but the UI still uses 250 as a value.
Also I found no information where to create bug reports.
got all kinds of errors on the browser console but that are usually _wrong_ errors. Like character limit while the textbox says all good, or unsupported video codec (eh, h264???) or indeed "too long" on a 20s snippet.
This is totally broken.
@bekopharm Yeah found that button as well. At least that should correct the video size, but I think they do shrink it on upload and stick with that file instead ...
But the service is not usable for the content I do upload with that limitation. Also as I said I have no clue how to report that "bug".
I tried tagging the creator directly but didn't get a response. Which is understandable but doesn't solve my issue at all.
Mario Kart 64 is a 1996 kart racing game for the N64. It is the second installment in the Mario Kart series after 1992's Super Mario Kart for SNES. 🏁
The game was intended to be released alongside the N64 itself in mid-1996 but was delayed after development resources were directed towards Super Mario 64, itself a launch title for the system. 🗓️
Mario Kart 64 sold 9.87 million copies worldwide, making it...

in reply to JdeBP • • •The subsequent plot development of the perpetrator burgling the victim's house (18 PACS §3502) was easily predictable. But I didn't predict the perpetrator getting a free bicycle repair.
In the meantime, the victim is suffering from brain trauma in the hospital, which clearly the perpetrator is not paying the hospital bill for (which begs the question of why the hospital's accounts department isn't trying to track this person's identity down).
I've just reached the part of the movie where the victim instead outright talks about paying the perpetrator for her trouble. I kid you not.
We all already know what the plot twist is going to be, by the way.
This is the idealized world of U.S.A. romantic fiction. Vehicular assault (18 PACS §2701 ?) gets you free stuff. Hey ho. No-one has been shot yet, at least. But there is half of the movie yet to go for that to happen.

in reply to JdeBP • • •I paused the movie too soon. 30 seconds after un-pausing, the victim had given the perpetrator free opera tickets.
Run a pedestrian over causing serious injury and a lengthy stay in hospital, get a high cash value reward — from the pedestrian.
Although given that the plot twist is so blatantly obvious at this point that the character should reasonably have thought of it, this is possibly theft by deception (18 PACS §3922).
I wonder what #DevinStone would be making of this plot.

in reply to JdeBP • • •Obvious plot twist unlocked. Movie finished. No-one was shot, in the end.
It was theft by deception, but the perpetrator would probably argue that she was too stupid to figure out the bleeding obvious. It was shrugged off. Opera tickets are a dime a dozen, it seems.
I checked both the #Philadelphia Code and the #Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes. Opening a bookshop late into the evening on a Sunday, that is also Christmas Eve, is not prohibited. So no further crimes on that score.
I didn't check the Philadelphia Code on the subject of restaurant licensing. It might have been illegal to serve restaurant food in a bookshop without a licence. There are probably some health code problems there, too, with respect to toilet facilities for one thing.
Unusually for #ChristmasMovies, there was not even a mention of Santa, let alone any other religious figures. Someone did let them sneak in a gingerbread house making scene and an Obligatory 12-Year-Old, though.

in reply to JdeBP • • •Good grief.
In a sane country, the pedestrian *always* has precedence, surely? Maybe exceptions for motorways or something, where pedestrians are actually prohibited.

Enjoy 75 PACS §3543 and §3544 (part of the #Pennsylvania Vehicle Code). Anywhere other than at a pedestrian crossing, all traffic has right of way over pedestrians crossing the road. There's no right to use the carriageway if there's a footway. And if there's no footway, pedestrians using the carriageway have to give way to everyone else.
palegis.us/statutes/consolidat…
The motorcar lobby pushed hard, name-calling pedestrians using roads "#jaywalking", to get laws like this enacted across the U.S.A..
Other interesting items of the PA Vehicle Code that are unlike the U.K.:
Ambulances have to obey the speed limit and stop at red lights, but funeral vehicles can go through red lights. Pedestrians, depending from city law, can be fined for disobeying their red lights at pedestrian crossings. Right-on-red is allowed. Cyclists are not permitted to pass stopped cars at pedestrian crossings, and must obey speed limits.
