Just picked up Kingdom Come Deliverance II from a discount site. I liked the idea of the first one but ultimately found it a bit too frustrating to finish. Heard enough good stuff about the sequel smoothing out the edges to give it a try.

Lmao no way. I was picturing a 3 year old.

Yeah I think kids get a pass on not understanding this, but I can only assume Elon looked at the server after this and expected them to acquiesce, instead of, you know, parenting.

Also a kid ordering something weird at a restaurant is a low tier example of ‘kids say the darndest’ things and is in no way ‘based’.

Feels like manipulation. Waits till markets close after a major sell off. Gives a tip to some insiders who bet big on a monday rally, then give the markets enough news to think there might be some relief.

I never really got into cs, but natural selection was the best. Even the stripped down combat mode slapped.

I think we’re just on very different pages around what the comfort of sitting upright brings to my method of transport, which is fair.

Some good tips in here, but I’d say that for 90% of utilitarian riders that the comfort of sitting upright will vastly outweigh the advantages of being aero. I would say that you’re better off either committing to aero and doing like you recommend, or getting some proper Dutch style handlebars. The in between style I see on most casual bikes here in North America (hybrids) is the worst of both worlds imo.

One thing I do like about the trailers is that, at low speeds at least, icy conditions are really just a hazard for the one stuck pedalling the bike. I can do 80% of my trips on paths separated from cars so it’s usually about as much risk as crossing the road.

Yeah been there (the parent pulling the screaming toddler). I always bring a couple back-up snacks to try to deflect the meltdown.

I do costco runs with my 2 kids in the trailer. Slowly start putting more and more stuff around them and they think it’s some kind of game. Thankfully I have an ebike cause that shit is heavy on the way home.

Yeah I added this to my ereader years ago after a friend recommended it enough times that I felt obligated to. Opened it once but couldn’t fight the feeling that it was going to be terrible so never started.

Yeah the drop in tariffs on Chinese EVs is going to have some blowback for sure. Really curious how the typical Canadian view of China is going to change over the next few years. Everyone is so libbed up over trump I think they’ll take anything. But even in a thread glazing China people will bring up the Michaels, so it’s incoherent still.

I’d love to hear some rationale for this, it’s quite a take, or is it a bit?

Yeah I was going to say that it didn’t sound like an IoT issue. I do think modern appliances have way too much computer in them because they are prone to failure, and as soon as the OEM stops making the board from your specific machine, you’re basically fucked when it comes to repairs.

When my samsung range died I found a guy halfway across the country on some appliance forum that specialized in repairing their boards and it bought me an extra 4 years, but then some other chip failed.

I’d say more important is the fact that a community will exist around it. For the SteamDeck you have no idea how much easier it is to find answers to very specific problems simply because the exact same hardware is being run by millions of people.

Also for similar reasons, some developers will optimize for the hardware.

Isn’t Bluey more like 2-8 year olds? (not sure if the distinction matters.)

And being run by a person who, despite many flaws, has chosen not to chase infinite growth and has not taken his company public. Imo this has protect led them from the worst of enshittification (for now).

Yeah I really notice it if I get a run in before an early morning meeting. Does wonders for my mood generally too.

I get out for a run most days, pretty proud that I make a point of fitting it in.

Yeah this isn’t a libertarian moment. This is just a dumb socialite wanting to be close to the levers of power/influence. Obviously not good for Chomsky fans, but it doesn’t say anything about his political stance. Most people have already seen the cracks in his ideology anyways .
