Hmm, that does make me rethink how willing I’d be to use it given the situation called for some self defense.

I’m pretty sure that’s the intended use of sarcasm.
The boring one I do most often is shopping bags (non-reusable) for trash can liners.
One I’ve heard of but not done is wasp spray as pepper spray /people repellant.
Oh wow! looks like it already has been considered correct, and ask is the new correct way.
That one I hear so much, I’m afraid it will become the new normal way of pronouncing ask. Definitely bugs me!
Any misspoken words, said with full confidence that it is correct.
I left him know.
There’s a woof in the backyard.

I am fortunate to have a job that does not require a cell phone, I can leave it behind for hours at a time without affecting my work. I know this is not the case for everyone, but it should be an option.
At the very least, a phone required for work should have a separate phone number and email account, and should turn off automatically after the employee clocks out for the day. Some countries already have laws about this stuff, we should do that more.

Usernameblankface@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish7·30 days agoI think a secondary light that blinks quickly would be a good signal of emergency braking. Like some aftermarket motorcycle taillights that start with a blinking pattern before they stay on, but reverse the order.
So, standard brake light comes on at the standard time, at the first touch of the brake. For stronger braking, the second light comes on. For emergency braking, the standard brake light stays lit while the second light begins blinking frantically.
Edit for consistency

Otherwise, medium to far shots, shots where the camera is moving enough that a few blemishes in the robot won’t show up, or the focus is on another character in the shot.
