The police didn’t cause the chase. They participated in it, of course but I don’t think it’s reasonable to hold them responsible for the chase happening in the first place. The drug dealer(s?) could have stayed put.

eta: I am by no means a police apologist or a “back the blue” type, either. There is plenty wrong with how police do the job they have but this isn’t that

I would get bored of a D&D session that started the exact same way every time I fucked up and died though. I’m not great at these games and I am embarrassed to say I was killed more than once on my first playthrough before even leaving the crash site.
Hoping mods or expansions (which seem unlikely) open the world up a lot more and allow for other starting scenarios.

I love that the tail hanging down sort of looks like it’s his testicles and the base of the shaft that needs to be censored but the tip is just fine

I was surprised to realize it had been 10 years since the previous finale

January 4, 2012 -had been playing skyrim like I needed the overtime for just about 2 weeks. Off on a ski trip, and someone was seated nearby, but facing away. My first thought was how I could pickpocket them…

I’d argue it’s actually “most places” rather than “many”. It’s not so obvious in day-to-day life but like if I had to take an ambulance tonight, me and my estate would be on the hook for the bill, but a billionaire would not be.

Not a programmer, but I can definitely attest that TV Medicine is wildly inaccurate. From CPR (method, success rate, reason for initiating) to the usefulness of various imaging modalities; it’s like watching a gardener plant a whole watermelon and growing a sky-high beanstalk the following morning.

A really fun intersection of both of these was the episode of Bones I saw once when visiting my dad, where some corpse had a microscopic code etched in its femur that then hijacked/hacked the CT machine computer when scanned.
