Probably a good time to start up a rival mod site that every one will flock too after these guys backpedal on their word.

Something synonymous with Nexus… CapitalMods anyone?

Yeah I’ve heard jim-o before but I wouldn’t say it’s super common, things either end in ‘oh’ or ‘ie’ to roll off the tongue nicely so jimmie is usually the norm.

Yeah I don’t disagree with you whatsoever, and the only time I actually use the handbrake in this situation is for one set of lights in my hometown because they take 5 minutes to goddamn change.

I’m more pointing out that driving instructors will have little quirks about things like this so going for a test in a manual can be more of a nightmare, especially now that manual trans is considered a hobbyist/enthusiast thing nowdays.

Apparently it’s because there’s a chance your foot could come off the brake if you’re rear ended so the car has momentum forward and no brake applied.

It’s just a pedantic rule from my neck of the woods and most people would never do it the ‘correct’ way for daily driving, but if you’re going for your licence test the driving instructors might get anal over small things like this.

I was told off by my driving instructor for putting the car in neutral while sitting at the lights, he said it was due to the risk of being rear-ended and rolling forward into oncoming traffic, this isn’t a problem if you’ve got the handbrake engaged but some driving testers will have a whinge about this apparently. (At least in my area)

It’s a good habit to learn though. Also to add, resting your hand on the gearstick will wear down the transmission in a similar fashion

I absolutely love perl, I’ve fallen out of professional development but I would take a job to maintain a legacy perl codebase in a heartbeat.

Huh TIL thank you, suppose I should make the leap to learn bash properly instead of clinging onto my perl scripts

It’s crazy to think that a handful of people who have floated around Obsidian/Interplay/Black Isle have created (in my opinion) some of the best games to have ever existed.

You put a name like Chris Avellone or Tim Cain onto a project and I’m going to pay more attention to it than any AAA with millions put into trailers and other bullshit to sell you down the river.
