Regularly, sometimes in a teasing fun way, other times seriously and sincerely. I know she benefits from the positive reinforcement and I appreciate it when it's reversed and I'm being complimented as well. I agree with the other commenter who said they do this for everyone in their life. If you have something nice to say and sincerely mean it, why hold back?

I wish popular cell phones would offer an eink option. I know there are 1-2 phones out there, but they always seem to be on some ancient version of Android.

Bike rides are the only thing that made cardio fun for me. The varied environments and the thrill of exploring massage my brain and I end up not noticing how much it sucks to bike straight up the side of a mountain. Also the alternating grind of ascending and thrilling adrenaline rush of descending keeps things fresh.

I like it. Nothing but Jubilee, Let's Plays, * Reacts, and Tier Lists. :D

How about Crimeula so we can quarantine all the true crime makeup videos? :)

I put away my phone in the opposite pocket from my keys. When I retrieve it, I always pull it out of the same pocket as my keys. Not sure what that's all about.

A torrent swarm of all the government and court documents that parasites like Lexus Nexus paywall. There is no excuse to not have access to government info online and free. If I understand correctly, some states even have the state statutes (aka laws) hidden behind such paywalls.

I would not be surprised if people on foot and good lighting make streets safer than any camera. It's a city design problem and a data hungry surveillance state problem. A good tourist rule is to not wander down empty streets away from crowds. There is a reason for that. When you have 25 people on a street, that's 25 deterrents to crime. If you walk down that same street, empty at night, the only deterrent is a criminal's concience. Cameras can't intervene,they just document.

Cool, that gives you options. I think the people suggesting Lectric are giving a good budget option. My buddy has one and we have hauled a few cases of beer home with it. It folds down nicely so instead of buying a bike rack you can put it in the trunk or get on the bus with it. It shines for short and medium distances, but I rotor personally opt for a non folding bike with bigger wheels for long distances.

If you avoid Amazon, research carefully online, and keep a hand on your wallet in person, you'll find some bikes you enjoy. If you have some bike shops near you, you also can't overestimate the benefit of a test ride. That's how I knew my bike was right for me and how I ruled out a few others before that.

Let us know what you end up finding.

I have a few routers by them, but not this one. That's really cool for in the city but I worry about reception. The main reason I got the nighthawk was to see if I could log into work from a hot spring with spotty reception. It has antenna ports hidden under the little rubber feet and it does help the range a lot. Still haven't tried the hot spring, but I tried it at a family member in the country's house where the reception is weak and it got me a usable signal. Thanks for sharing. I'll look into glinet a bit more.

Went through and verified that a number of things were backing up and updating correctly. I feel a little less weight on my shoulders knowing things are working as they should.

Ideally space would be provided for all. Something I think we can agree on is that no pedestrian, cyclist, scooter rider, etc. is going to fare well against a lifted pickup at 40mph and the biggest divide is between cars and vulnerable road users. I've biked in downtown Denver. There is some good infrastructure, but there's also a lot of sketchiness, especially the further out you go. Until the road feels safe, people will use the sidewalk.

I worked for a tech company in a legal state 5-10 years back. There were a lot of stoners there because most people couldn't handle their bullshit in a sober state of mind and the company just wanted asses in seats to fulfill their contract obligations. I'm pretty sure Subway would go out of business if the weed disappeared. Your best bet is to make good enough friends with someone who works there (as a normal low-level employee) that you can ask an honest question without getting narced on. At my tech job, I treated the stoners with the same mild indifference as everyone else. Let me do my job, pretend to be normal, and don't do anything I can't ignore. Do not brag about smoking weed in front of management or anyone who makes enough money to care. The only people who got pinched did it to themselves.

Probably sitting at 16-20 years with a short windows break in the first 5 year. I run Linux distros on my main computers, but have a windows disk I kept around for gaming only. I hear Linux has gotten better with games, but I don't mind the separation of not being able to go straight from productivity to games without a reboot.

Are you looking for a little ebike-compliant electric motorcycle that will shuttle you from place to place, or are you planning on pedaling hard and want the electric to make you faster and extend your range? Also, where are you planning on riding? The types of bikes you should go for depend on that question.

In my opinion, which is based on the OPX, OP6T, OP9, OP10 and many many devices I've used from other manufacturers, Oneplus does hardware very well. My latest phone was a Pixel 8 Pro so I could run Graphene and while I do not regret my choice, I do miss the Oneplus hardware, and most of all the 3-position slider switch. My OP6T is old as dirt now, but still exudes a higher quality feel than my Pixel when you hold it. To the point of the discussion: One Plus has amazing battery life and hardware versus competitors at the same price point.

I'd like to think as a group, we are a healthier addiction than Reddit. :)

Good for them. If it works, it works. I wouldn't connect it to the internet though.

After that comes the part where the AI hallucinates a world where advertising guidelines don't exist and gets the company sued for some very illegal advertising.

I saved your comment because some of these are now on my todo list and some of them I've done recently. I'm also trying to get out more after 2-3 years of being otherwise occupied. I actually went skateboarding again for the first time in a decade or so. A buddy invited me and I even carved the bowl a little. I'm much more risk adverse now though.

Missing an important message like that is a fear of mine. I've also noticed a number of google products don't function well while on VPN. I've decided to dump the problem, Google, rather than the scapegoat, my VPN. I'm about 70% degoogled right now, but every product counts.

I tried RCS when it was newer, but I didn't see any benefit to me and it didn't play well with how often I reset and redo my phone.
