That’s because Cody is short for Come On Die Young.
chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish3·3 days agoI get what you’re saying — so it’s about the subconscious awareness of the state change that happens after the driver decided to go, but before the car starts moving. I can see some amount of value in that.
I still can’t help but think it’s going to be interpreted by many as a sign that it’s safe to proceed and ignore the car rather than be prepared for any eventuality, though.
chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish2·3 days agoBut isn’t that exactly the situation we’re in now? If there’s a car in the opposing left turn lane, they might start to turn in front of you.
The only thing the light does is say “right now, they’re braking”. It doesn’t say whether they’re moving or stationary any more than the headlights, and it doesn’t say anything about their intentions or whether it’s safe to enter the intersection.
chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish4·3 days agoYeah, the only thing I could think of is that I’m driving down a country road, and I see the front brake light ahead of me because someone stopped for a deer in the road or something.
Otherwise I cannot fathom what benefit it brings. Anything that ultimately becomes “if you see this light, it’s safe to [X] in front of this vehicle” is going to get people killed.
And the negative state of “the lack of this light means that the vehicle could be moving” is exactly what we have now.
chrisbtoo@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish181·3 days agoI don’t understand this at all. Why do I, as a person in front of a vehicle, care whether or not it’s braking?
Interesting. AFAICT the “power premium” price is just over half what we pay for regular unleaded here in Austria.
Is the implication here that those prices are high?

Weird. Maybe the mole catcher went international!
This is for sure a pic from the UK, though — almost definitely in Yorkshire.
This is the normal format for a mobile number in the UK, which is where this photo is from.
Thanks for the explanation. Ironically this was the bit I didn’t know:
In modern times, USB keyboards are periodically actively polled instead.
I was thinking the implication was that some computer had faulty interrupt handling that would smash the status register or something.
Honestly I think I’m just too old to understand memes.
I feel like I should understand this, but I don’t.
