Which is, of course, fundamentally unideal if not antiquated.

You can have non-alphanumeric characters on license plates? What do the cops do if they need to catch you? Do they put out an APB for emoticons?

Use the cyrillic letter А on your licence plate instead of the latin letter A. All your speeding tickets would be mailed to someone else

Or the 🅰️ emoji

It seems that everybody who doesn't know Cyrillic thinks that Д is the Cyrillic A...

Meanwhile, the guy in ~~the slave labor camp~~ prison making your license plate: "Alright, thats an A, I'll key in an A here"

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 0 points 11 hours ago

You do know the cyrillic A is just А(serbian) or А(russian)??

Like the guy with the NULL plate who got all the tickets for which no number could be found.

Truly a tragic tale.

This username means you also get "mentioned" a lot in big chatrooms where people post code/logs

I read an article once about a guy who got a NO PLATE licence plate and ended up being automatically blamed whenever a cop wrote in that a car had no licence plate. I wonder what 0X00000 would do.

I don't think you can? But, you can use a space and add an equal sign sticker instead

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago

Are stickers allowed?

Fucking nerds think you're so smart. Now excuse me, I need to figure out why my engine is knocking.

Yeah the Ideal Gas Formula is cool but what about the Ideal Electric?

Lotus Evora in Alabama? Wat?

[–] three@lemmy.zip 0 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Are you only allowed to own certain cars in certain states?

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 0 points 13 hours ago

Super rare cars in the poorer states, where nonconformity is treated like cancer?

If this plate is legit not photoshopped, it’s a strong possibility someone working at NASA MSFC drives it.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Would be even better if the capitalization was correct. Always bugs me when people capitalize units wrong, but in this case it might have been mandatory.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Have you ever in life seen lower case on a license plate? From any country?

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 0 points 3 hours ago

Not from any countries that signed the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic

for those who do not get it, this is a reference to the ideal gas law pV = nRT the fac that at equal pressure and temperature the same number of gas molecules (ideal gas) will take the same Volume.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago

Soooo... fill with premium?

[–] thejoker954@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago

So this person's nickname is pervert, right? My brain just keeps turning it back to pervert lol

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 0 points 2 hours ago

Are there even any states that allow an = ? I bet they drew that on with sharpie

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

In computer geek world, pv can stand for physical volume which is used in maybe something like LVM for Linux platforms. TMYK

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 0 points 2 hours ago

I thought you were going to say Photovoltaic cells (solar panels)
