That is super hardcore. Definitely a lot of trust in those vines!

Okay, this one made me audibly laugh

Those reader responses are cute, haha. Poor Gary!

Visit Montana or Wyoming in the summer, there are tons.

Thanks for linking that! Super interesting, I never had a name for that, but wondered about that exact thing.

I’m not sure I’d want to do 45 in that thing, hell of a way to go if you got speed wobbles. I could see a use for kei vehicles in downtown areas. Traffic is so bad that a car’s top speed might be 30 if you are lucky. Mass transit, bikes and tiny vehicles are what most people could easily get away with day to day.

The article notes that Russia has no furniture slide manufacturing. That’s what makes this tariff so baffling. Genuinely not sure why they would do this, there’s no upside.

Iran and Russia used to be helping them, but Iran is in a shadow war with Israel and Russia is in a war with Ukraine + western allies. Their funding and personnel dried up.

Plus, the Syrian rebels banded together. Without Russian air support and airstrikes around the capital, and without iranian arms, their regime collapsed and ran to Russia like a bitch.

Will Syria be better now? It’s anyone’s guess. I could see Russia and China potentially making moves on them during the rebuild process, but who knows for sure. The US will probably pull out soon once the next government is formed in January. It could be up to the Syrian rebels and Syrian people, but their country infrastructure is pretty blown apart, so they will need outside capital and expertise to rebuild.

Honestly, if you just need to pick up prescriptions or OTC stuff. Condoms at Costco are cheap, and some of my medicines are like…$47 at Costco or $130+ at CVS. The whole medicine section is great.

My two bike bags can also fit 40L each IIRC. Lots of room for groceries, though I tend to pick up at closer places and save Costco for when I really whittle down my freezer, fridge and bathroom supplies.

Over half the country voted for trump, the man who will make everything worse and who appeals to people’s most base instincts. Some of the worst mass shootings were under Trump.

I don’t think violence will necessarily be contained to Democrats and old style Republicans. The new right likes corruption, which includes POS health insurance companies.

I didn’t realize Segway survived the 00s after Jobs beefed it, and their dorky scooter fell out of popularity. The new designs do look cool, hopefully class 3 with standardized parts.

Well, it’s too late now thanks to the asshole with the aim of a stormtrooper. The criminal won and all of his freaks and monsters are burrowing into America’s chest like some drug-resistant, flesh-eating bacteria. Best case scenario, we live with lots of necrotic tissue and deep scarring. That infection started spreading as soon as he named Vance as his successor.

10k is low, that wouldn’t cover a few years of health insurance deductibles for me. BCBS is like a $3,500/yr deductible.

Yeah, generally it leads to societal and economic collapse. Things sometimes improve, but it sometimes takes decades, and usually a shitload of people die as collateral damage via starvation, extrajudicial killings, etc. normal people, not these solid gold assholes.

We one time had an exchange student whose father lived through one such event and nearly starved to death in the fallout after it had run it’s course. He said his father’s strongest memories were that he was so hungry, for years. :/

I hope Intel gets their act together soon. We can’t have a monopoly on chips on the CPU or GPU space.

This, the only time I even hit the regulated 28mph is either because I’m on a road where the speed is 30 but cars are going much faster, or I need to get up our 18-28% grade hills with groceries, and I literally need all the power I can get while hitting about 9mph at 1,300w.

These rules for 20mph class bikes are great if you live in flat AF zones, but swiftly change with heavy payloads on steep, steep terrain. And that’s not even including riding on the same roads as vehicles that can easily do 40-50mph down arterials if the police aren’t around to keep them at 30. I’ve seen people on lime scooters doing 15mph (speed limited) on those same roads…

Bi here, and my husband and I wash every part of each other, though we haven’t done it for awhile since our showers aren’t really meant for more than one person at a time.

Once in a blue moon though, it is pretty fun at a luxury hotel or something :)

My guess is the latter, Iran and North Korea aren’t exactly making state of the art weaponry. And Russia has burned through most of its rusted out and repainted armament at this point. That leaves either new weapons, scuffed imports from “shithole”-class countries, or weird weapons.

At any rate, nuking your nextdoor neighbors and having the radiation potentially drifting over parts of your country, potentially even your capital (yield dependent) seems like a stupid idea. Not to mention it ruining their “trophy” land that they illegally acquired.

Hopefully you unplugged it from the wall and drained the capacitors before reaching down. xD

Glad you still have hands!
