    Once in a while, the 5th circuit gets something right.

    A man in Houston saw a drunk driver ahead of him, called 911 and followed the driver and when the driver crashed, he stepped in and did a citizens arrest (legal in TX, of course) to hold the man while police arrived.
    When the police got there, they invested the drunk , then talked to the good samaritan. Then they let the drunk driver go and arrested the good samaritan for felony of impersonating an officer.
    The charges were eventually dropped but the guy sued the Houston PD for obvious reasons. PD and the city defended the officers under qualified immunity, but this was denied both at the district court and at the 5th (thank god)

    When the 5th's opinion opens like this (and this is from a GOP-nominated judge and former general counsil to Abbott) , you know your case is fucked

    For those who worry that qualified immunity can be invoked under absurd circumstances: Buckle up.

    I'm surprised..not as much sugar as I expected. A small is still about 1/3 the amount of sugar versus the same size Coke.

    I recently learned about the raw materials duplication glitch exploit and the way you can level up quickly using statues. It took a while to get to where I could do it since you need to get Picket Fences #3 and that’s in a place loaded down with enemies. I’m up to level like 52 now, I’ve maxed out all my SPECIAL stats and some of the perks maxed out as well. The video I found this on the dude was at like level 248 or something and he had maxed out every perk.

    So in lieu of running mods I’m just exploiting a few tricks on the Steam Deck and possibly ruining my playthrough. It is, however, tedious. You can construct the statues very quickly but it’s at least two button presses to scrap them and you have to do that because it turns out there’s a maximum amount of stuff you can have in a settlement and constructing hundreds of statues hits the limit.

    I know some folks hate this game but fuck it I’m having fun.

    That 'feedback' was 215k negative Steam reviews in the last week.
