  They could scratch you up for sure, maybe poke an eye, but they’re more likely to avoid to than attack unless they’re guarding a nest or something. If they come at you, take off your jacket, an umbrella, or grab a tarp or something and open it up to catch their beak/claws and probably scare them away too.

  If you happen to have something like an air horn, that would also probably scare them off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you speak a second language better than your native language, would you describe your second language skill as "native" or "fluent"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fluent.

  Native means you grew up speaking it.

  It means this is his last term, barring any changes to the law or extralegal shenanigans, period.

  No thanks I already fucking paid for that and they took it away for a shittier version.

  I’ve played this and I would recommend it if you like FPSes or wave type games like Vampire Survivor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bloodlines 2 is more "spiritual successor" than sequel to a "a competently good game by 2004 standards", say Paradox⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All I know is, if I can’t get into an argument with a stop sign while playing a Malkavian, I’ll be disappointed.

  Sales cold calls are spam, 100%.

  Briefly, slightly, yes. Practically speaking, it’s negligible though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could I patent harmful technology to prevent it from being put on the market?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but you would need to defend your patent and continue to file patents and variations as tech evolves to prevent work-arounds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Want the legal right to ignore your boss outside working hours? Learn from the French | Alexander Hurst⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Practically speaking, I already do: I told them not to contact me on my cell if they aren’t going to give me a work phone or reimburse me for the cost of a plan then I will not be using my personal phone for work purposes. They can reach me during business hours on my desktop phone, the work messaging system, or a ticket. If anything happens outside of those hours and they want me to do something about it, they better pony up for a plan, overtime hours, or flex hours.

  Firing me seems highly unlikely because they agreed to these terms, I am very good at what I do, and they love me. Actual legal protections sound like something everyone should have though, if you’re on call you damn well better get paid for it or it’s wage theft pure and simple.

  I miss Overwatch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did gravity worked on the Death Star?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the size of a moon and made from metal: It’s definitely generating some gravity (even a small amount of mass generates gravity) but I guess whatever tech they use to generate gravity overcomes it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did gravity worked on the Death Star?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Any chance you know the canon explanation of how they counteract the gravity generated by the Deathstar’s mass?

  I’ll stick with my iFixIt pro kits, but they do make good stuff. The brush seems a little silly though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are cars with AWD worth it compared to FWD.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think I’d drive an SUV at all if you were concerned with cost or handling, but IMO it depends on what you need: Modern traction control with good all terrain tires can handle extremely well in snow or rain - AWD isn’t necessary.

  That said, my current daily driver is an AWD manual Subaru sedan and I have to admit: It corners better and is just a bit more resistant to losing control and a little faster in regaining control. If cost is not a concern, go with an AWD sedan especially if you drive in adverse conditions a lot.

  If money is tight, stick with your FWD sedan and make sure you have quality all season tires as well as keeping your brakes and related systems in good condition - this would likely be more than adequate in any reasonable conditions especially if you are already a good driver (and if not, it’s never too late to learn).
