Waymo Is Suing People Who Allegedly Smashed and Slashed Its Robotaxis
  • Criminal prosecution and civil liability are different. If the criminal conviction also includes restitution (pay for the damages) then there likely wouldn't be a need for a civil suit, but it's possible that the suit is to go after additional damages. For example, the criminal conviction might include $1000 in restitution to cover the property damage, but the civil suit might ask for money to cover lost revenue for the time the car was out of service.

  • Installing J-channel under existing siding?
  • I used to be an insurance adjuster. Coverage for this is questionable and the damages would likely be under your deductible. This is a workmanship issue, so the J channel itself isn't covered. The (hopefully minimal) ensuing water damage would likely be covered, though. My main concern is water inside the wall saturating insulation and creating a mold issue.

    If there was significant water inside the wall, the amount of covered damage could escalate to the point that it would be worth putting in a claim. Just know that coverage isn't as straightforward as the previous comment made it sound.

  • Checking chain wear when waxing chains.
  • That's exactly correct. The point that the wax could interfere with the measurement is only where the chain checker touches the chain. Waxed chains wear much slower than usual, though, so I wouldn't be too worried about it.

  • Checking chain wear when waxing chains.
  • It's worth the extra work. I keep three chains in rotation and generally get about four weeks of riding out of each chain. That means I'm only having to get out the wax a few times a year.

    My favorite part about it is that the chain is clean to touch. I don't have to carry gloves in my saddle bag in case I have to touch my chain, and I don't get black lines on my leg.

    The biggest down side is the initial prep, but silca has some one step chain stripper that works great. You only have to do that once for the life of a chain, though, so it's really not that big of a deal.

  • Which bike? Salsa Warbird CF vs Canyon Grail CF SL 7?
  • The canyon has a 1 1/4" (1.25") steerer tube. This will make replacing the stem more difficult because almost all other brands use 1 1/8 (1.125"). Ritchey makes a stem for 1 1/4" steerer tubes if you get the canyon and need to replace the stem.

    I'm also skeptical of the integrated seatpost clamp, but that's just a gut feeling rather than personal experience.

    Also consider the kind of riding you really want to be doing. Are there even rougher trails you would like to get on if your bike could handle it? If so a hardtail mountain bike is worth considering.

  • Issue: Navigating directly to a post on a muted community does not show comments

    I browse lemmy primarily through the local feed and mute communities I'm not particularly interested in. When a different community posts a link to a muted community, the post opens without showing any comments.

    Example: I have muted the no stupid questions community. Someone posts a link to a post in that community to best of. That post opens fine and shows the correct number of comments, but no comments are visible.

    A Plague Tale: Innocence | 100% off/giveaway

    This game is absolutely worth its full price of $40. The gameplay is very linear, but in a way that I quite enjoyed. The sequel, A Plague Tale: Requiem, is equally amazing. Easily two of my favorite games of all time.

    Bug: Inconsistent post scroll bar size and progress rate

    When scrolling through a text post, the size and progress rate of the scroll bar varies dramatically depending on the length of the current comment. In the example below, the post body is very long, resulting in a tiny scroll bar with slow progress. Once you're down into the comments, the scroll bar is much larger and progresses faster.

    Request: Keyword filter for comments

    I would like to filter comments based on keywords similar to how the post keyword filter works.

    Request: Domain filter for posts

    I would like to be able to block links from certain domains. For example, mute all posts leading to instagram.

    Request: Keyword/wildcard filter for communities

    Example: I would like to be able to filter out all communities that start with the word "shitty" by having a community filter for "shitty*".
