That is because "left and right" conflate too much in the same name and depending on what you are thinking they may be right wing or not. I feel like tankies, in regard of social policies are more left wing, for economic policies it may be right or left wing depending on how you see it, but on the control, political, democratic policies they are right wing, because they are more authoritarian.

As I understand it, for the burn-in you can just turn the display off. It was not always that way because old CRT monitors take a while to turn back on so it was annoying.

Are judges in the US elected? I know some are appointed. In some countries they are career public servants. They pass an exam and dispute with other candidates, so they are experts in their field that went in a public selection process.

The article says 4 out of 5. Maybe OP was mistaken or the article corrected at some point.

A camera bump in a camera bump is definitely a choice.

I am not from Canada, but my country for decades has been using speed cameras and I think I can give a perspective about them being "tax grab".

The answer is, it depends on the situation, but in my country most of them are NOT tax grab. You can tell when they are when the cameras (or the police officer) and the speed limit is done in a way to trick people. One such case is when the speed limit is lowered (usually in highways) but there is limited signage and/or effort to inform the public about the change, so drivers that are used to the road ended going at the old speed without noticing. Another case is when there is an abrupt change of speed limit, some times over a corner or even without and change in the road that would make sense the limit change, or even if it is a limit change that makes sense but they put the camera right at the change when a lot of people have not yet have time to slow down.

So I feel like, if the speed cameras in a place are tax grab the solution is not to remove them but position them where they make sense.

That is true. I also was luck enough to have a friend that didn't mind at all to pick me up out of his way even if just as a companion to do errands and stuff. Otherwise the distance would be a problem.

For some reason only games with bad UI comes to mind, like Skyrim.

That is so true. It is like a silver lining. I may be procrastinating but I am helping and spending some quality time with a friend.

I love this type of bonding with friends and used to do it a lot. The problem is you have to live or be kinda close by, but I guess that is true for any less formal meetup. I guess the furthest away you are the more "a thing" the meetup must be and the duration longer.

In any case I love do errands with friends and even go help out with something. Even though I don't have time and energy for my stuff I feel like energy for hanging out with friends doing errands como from a different bucket.

I think the person is not implying that by going with the person doing an errand you also have to spend money. You are going as a companion.

But that is the definition of today's indie games. You have games that are done by a single person, or a very small group in a shoe string budget. As far as I know there was no such thing back then, especially in the console market (I can think of a few exceptions on PC) . What today is viewed as less resources back then was still for that time a big studio or team.
