Fear: Accidentally ran a red light today. I noticed camera-type things on top of the street lights, and was afraid they had taken a picture and that a ticket was on it's way.
Relief: Looked it up online, and it turns out the "cameras" are actually just sensors that manage the lights. They can't take pictures.

Smile: Fixed this ThinkPad T61! It's been in my family for 6 years but recently the fan died, I got the current fan spinning (though it doesn't sound great). My dad's GF upgraded and I'm in need of a laptop so this works out great. Think I'll buy a new fan for 10 bucks though just in case. It's a bit old at this point, but I figure I'll just get a 64gb SSD and throw a few older games on it. Still totally usable as a general use machine.

Check out "Some Nights", another song by Fun. It has become a favorite of mine.mjmjr25 wrote:Smile: Heard a song on the radio and i'm really digging it. "We are young" by Fun. I rarely listen to current gen music, or any music really, but this caught me as I was running through the dial. Like it a lot.

I haven't screwed up and gotten one myself, but I've been at intersections when other people have. If you were paying enough attention to realize you screwed up, you would have seen the flash go off.BoringSupreez wrote:Fear: Accidentally ran a red light today.

I ran my first red light last week. I hated myself. Still not particularly happy about it.Hobie-wan wrote:I haven't screwed up and gotten one myself, but I've been at intersections when other people have.

My wife will occasionally run a red light, even though she has been ticketed for it before. I always say "It's not making the light, it's if you can slow down and park behind the white line".RyaNtheSlayA wrote:

It's not infuriating, but it does boggle my mind how people don't get "stay behind the line". Usually this happens when I'm trying to take a right turn, next to someone who is trying to take a left turn and he (or she) keeps creeping and creeping above the line to get a better view of traffic. I do hate the macho jockeying for the better view though, as the lines are there for a reason.
