no your best option is not to say a GD thing. story time: i was once pulled over on the eastern shore by a cop that was barely my age. i didn't say a word to him for the 10 minute stop. that really messed with his mental state and I could tell his internal hard drive was returning a seek error. at the end he stammered out "o-okay, w-well you slow down and haveaniceday" then he quick walked back to his car and turned down a side road.

NEVER TALK TO COPS.

IANAL but play one on tv

I was asked this once, after I read a hilarious reddit comment, and found myself in a similar situation. I looked at the cop and said "it's not because of the pot in my trunk is it?". "Step out and open your trunk, sir". He opened the trunk to find a crock pot I had just purchased. I could tell he was flipping through emotions from stifling laughter to being highly annoyed. They eventually let me go and told me to slow down with a half smirk.

I don't recommend doing this, and I have zero plans to ever do it again as it wasn't as simple as stepping out and showing my guilt/joke. I was detained, backup units showed up, even a K9. They didn't search the inside of my car, but they did inspect other items inside the trunk to make sure I wasn't pulling a fast one on them.

Anyone interested in joining a consulting team to do these projects with me?

This entire thread is interesting because it is highlighting a similar problem with my virtualized router. When I pinned the router vm to specific cpus the problem goes away. I switched to openstack which doesn’t give me the best control over cpu capabilities and the problem has manifested in a worse form.

My uninformed opinion is that there are underlying concurrency problems with multithreaded user land-kernel interaction and some nic drivers (consumer intel and Broadcom hardware)
