  • Or breaks a year later and your have to figure out what the fuck you made. The worst thing in the world is when you leave it for the next guy, and you end up being the next guy.

  • Nearly 1 in 10 Americans report they are severely obese, says study.
  • I thought humans were notoriously efficient walkers, so we don’t burn that many calories that way?

    The problem is partly the culture, but largely the design of our suburbs and sprawl.

    Increased density and public transit are cool, but until there’s laws about not cutting down that “empty” patch of trees, or paving over that old farmland, developers are gonna make shitty sprawl, and cars will be necessary.

    I mean it’s so bad and people are so cheap about it that they choose forced HOAs to maintain culdesacs and roads instead of properly funding public services with taxes.

  • Why are Bernedoodles so popular in the US?
  • Yeah plenty of well off liberal New Englanders have them around here. There are big Facebook groups about them and all kinds of online hype/bullshit (like everything at this point) about longevity, allergies, intelligence, etc.

    They don’t shed as much, but the less they shed the more they need grooming, or they end up with mats and tangled.

  • Why are Bernedoodles so popular in the US?
  • It’s broader than one farm, my mom is obsessed with doodles too. But prior to that had a purebred Bernese mountain dog. They’re great dogs, but have largely been bred into tragically short lifespans. Her’s died at 4 or 5 years old and averages at the time were like 6-8 years. So there’s the thought/hope that mixing with a broader gene pool available in the poodles will help them live longer.

    They are also supposed to shed less is a reason I’ve been given a lot, but they need grooming all the time so I think it’s bullshit. They are cute, but it’s mostly a bunch of online groups that are driving the trend.

  • Clever guy
  • Humidity in the air makes that wayyy more dangerous because your skin will be highly conductive and the lower the resistance, the higher the current (which is what really hurts).

    I’ve been a human grounding strap a couple times and don’t recommend it. I think the vibrating pain of AC (someone reenergized the outlet on me) is worse than the punch of high voltage (failing spark plug wire I grabbed with metal pliers while diagnosing a misfire).

  • [OC] Brazilian Beetle at a car show

    Still not sure why it was right hand drive though.

    Yeah, it's basically a Ferrari

    “Testarossa” vent sticker detail in comments.

    Never liked the 3 spoke wheels at the time, but kinda fun to see nowadays.

    Found an architect at the ski lodge! (OC)

    Had the perfect vanity plate too!

    I’ll post a couple more pics in comments.

    Technically it's a 90s car

    It’s a 1991 VW Multivan so it came with a poptop, and a cabinet in the back (so it has a weird L shaped downstairs bed), but no kitchen, just seating for 8 with two backwards facing jump seats.

    It is very much 1980s technology (especially the convoluted ignition and injection system that still managed to act like a carburetor on cold starts). Everyone who approaches it at gas stations and parking lots always asks what year it is, then they look confused when it starts with a 9.

    [bug] unable to mark messages as read

    Both tapping to read and tapping the check box in the messages view fails to make unread messages as read.

    Also unable to post, my instance signed in properly and I can post from Voyager with the same login just fine.
