So, I’ve been pulled over a few times in my life. Not many, but a few. And I’ve also been in a couple of cars that got pulled over. And let me tell you, if you were actually doing something wrong, the officer doesn’t make any small talk, just straight into “I clocked you doing 70 in a 55.” The only time I’ve ever gotten the “do you know why I pulled you over?” was the time when I wasn’t doing anything wrong, and I got let go even though he insisted to the end that I was doing 87 in a 70 (white privilege at work).

“Do you know why I pulled you over?” is a trap. It means there’s a good chance the officer doesn’t actually have a good reason to ticket you, and is trying to get you to waive your 5th Amendment rights and incriminate yourself. If you make a guess, that’s a confession of guilt.

But there’s another trap, that I’ve heard of but haven’t yet experienced. It’s “do you know how fast you were going?” With that one, they’re hoping you’ll say no, because then they can name whatever speed they want – you just said you didn’t know how fast you were going, if you deny the speed they name then you’re lying to them.

Oh, I’ve had that one. Go with “yes.” Don’t give them a number, just say “Yes.” Then they still have to offer a number and you can deny it without contradicting yourself. They could just ask you, at that point, but that’s suspiciously similar to saying they don’t know, and they tend to avoid doing that.

Also, you can always go to court and contest a ticket, and a lot of times you’ll win. Or if the cop thinks you’ll win they won’t even show up and you’ll win by default.

They like to target out of state plates because anyone who would be majorly inconvenienced by a court date two months away is a lot more likely to just pay it.

Also READ YOUR TICKET

I had a cop try to claim I’d turned left on red on an unprotected light while texting and that was why I got T-boned.

I had my dad drive me through the intersection where I got hit and took photos of the (very much protected) light, then got them printed.

When the judge asked me to plead I said not guilty and that I’d like to present evidence, if I could come up to the bench. He agreed.

I walked up, set down my photos, put my flip phone on top of them, and said “Your Honor, I’ll plead guilty as soon as the officer can explain how I was texting on this.”

(Note for younger folks, this was 2010. Some flip phones and phone plans supported texting. Mine was not one of them.)

The whole ticket was a lie. I was in fact considered at fault for the wreck–if you’re turning left in Arizona you’re automatically at fault–but the ticket was dismissed because it was a protected light and I had a phone that physically could not text.

Cops lie on tickets. All the time.

Read the whole thing. Don’t dispute it with the cop. Dispute it in court.

[starlight-shadowbanned]

Once they really did catch me speeding and they gave me a court date on Memorial Day, when city hall was closed. So I came in the next day and filled out a piece of paper and they dismissed the ticket because it had been impossible to show up for the court date.

Another time they gave me a parking ticket because I forgot to move my car to the other side of the street on the evening of Yom Kippur, so I came in on the court date and filled out a piece of paper explaining what Yom Kippur was and why it distracted me from moving the car, and they dismissed the ticket.

[outraged-honk]

If you are Canadian and an officer asks you “why did I pull you over today” say this: “please explain why you are pulling me over?” calmly and straight. Like prev said, police do the same thing in Canada. This is also considered entrapment by Canadian law, nevertheless do not answer that question. They are required by the law to explain your charges so you understand fully. If you are under 18, you leally can not speak to an officer without a guardian present.

If it seems suspicious and you are maybe uncomtortable with the situation. You can call the local dispatch and ask them to verfy or even send another car to ensure your satety. That officer has to wait for you to talk to dispatch/for the other car. Do not roll down your windows.

The car has to be in the open and visible, no barriers, not on private property ( if they are on private property such as a driveway they cannot be on private property without permission from the landowner. They never ask permission). Watch if they touch your vehicle, they are not allowed to actually touch your property without consent or a warrant, however police are taugnt to toucn your vehicle (usually the back end as they walkup on tratfic stops in case they go missing). Still, legally they cannot touch your car which Is your possession. without permission/warrant prior to asking.

Fighting your ticket(s): a large majority of the time officers do not appear in court, if the officer is not present the case is thrown out. Take the lawyer, tell them anything that could be reason to throw the case out: such as using “entrapping language”, ask if the officer is present, refusing my right to have a parent/guardian present before speaking to an officer, if you ask to only speak with a lawyer right away (and do not speak afterwards), if they refuse to tell you their name and badge number, if you were not fully explained through the ticket process/charging process ( had a case thrown out because the officer did not explain how the ticket works, he said “you know this works” and walked away), If they enter your vehicle at any point (sticking their hand or head, even if they are smelling inside your vehicle while the window is down) that is entering private property, if they do not ask you if you understand and if at any time you were not explained and/or at any point you did not understand, or verbally did not say vou understand. Police can be sloppy take advantage.

So many people seem to implicitly have this idea that on your 18th (or 25th) birthday a second stork arrives and gives you your sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex drive. Before that happens you just have no idea about any it and if you think you do it's because you have been corrupted by porn or "social contagion" or "gay recruitment" or whatever.

any time i hear the insufferable transphobic athlete arguments i think of that one time in middle school when my boys lacrosse team did a full-contact scrimmage against the girls team (who typically play with limited contact) and i, a six-foot, 180lb defender, got utterly laid-out by this 5-foot-nothing girl experiencing the newly-unleashed animosity accompanied by violent sport and as i looked up at my assailant from flat on my back i experienced a brief bout of heterosexuality and fell wildly in love and then had to be taken to the ER because i had a concussion

sometimes people try to tell me that scientists are paragons of rationality and I have to break it to them that I have yet to work in a lab that didn’t have at least one weird secret shrine in it

new guy: why is all of the equipment in this room covered in toys?

me: dONn’t touch those

new guy:

me: they need the toys to function. if they don’t all have toys they get jealous.

me: when something breaks just take the wizard and wave it around for a while. they seem to like that.

In Taiwan we have a special brand of snacks named 乖乖 (literally means “well behaved” but in a casual way like when one’s compliment a child or a pet of being good) that has green package.

It has become the lucky charm in the IT industry because engineers believe it will make machine acting good (like the name of the snack) and stay in green light (like the color of the snack’s package) when a 乖乖 is put on top of a server.

It is the only food allowed in a server room and the biggest semicondoctor company in Taiwan (which is also the biggest worldwide) even commissioned the snack factory to make a customized version with blessing on the package.

This is how a server room is blessed by 乖乖. You put at least one on top of each server. It’s important that the engineers change them before the expire date because legend says the snack looses it’s power after expire date.

You’ll hear engineers swearing up and down that their server room crushed down the one time they forgot to change the snack.  Or some newbie ate the forbidden snack put on top of their server and caused a disastrous crush down.

The 乖乖 religion later spread to all people who want their machine to act nice. In the lab we put 乖乖 on ultra-low freezer (you really don’t want it to drop dead along with your 2 years’ worth of sample/data), mass spectrometer etc.

When Taiwan’s about to launch the first self made satellite in 2017, the develop team even put 乖乖 around the satellite model to prey for a successful launch (it did). This shit is real.

the replacement of websites with apps sounds so backwards when you actually describe it. like hmm you have to download an entire program onto your device each time you want access to a portal, where it takes up storage indefinitely. somebody should invent an app where you can "browse" any portal just by typing in its address... 🥴

Honestly, Tvyek is pretty miraculous. It’s permeable to water vapor but not to water, it’s nearly impossible to tear, but can be easily cut. It’s cheap and made entirely without binding chemicals. In addition to being used for wristbands, it’s used to wrap construction sites to keep out water during construction, for tear-resistant envelopes at Fed-Ex, coveralls for mechanics, and my wallet, actually.

Fun tip, though it looks like paper, Tyvek is plastic, and cannot be recycled with paper.

What stands out to me about the Mitch McConnell thing is just how little anyone around him actually cares for him as a person.

He goes down, ends up in a coma or brain dead, on life support, genuinely never coming back and even if part of him did he would be in agony from his cpr injuries. The best thing is to let him go.

But its not convenient to. His own *wife* runs away to China so they can't *make* her do the right thing and allow him to pass. She doesn't love him enough to override the political posturing. His own family is letting his abused half alive carcass get played with like a political doll while he's trapped in purgatory, as close to undead as one can be.

Not one of his colleagues or even any of his immediate family gives a single shit about him at all beyond what they can use him for. Its so grotesque I almost feel pity.
