Someone tell Metro Transit. They make changes to my local bus route every few weeks and it’s annoying.

Lemmy does have markdown support for tables but I’m at work so I can’t look it up right now.

I saw the one in the 2000s in the theater. I thought it was fun and the subterranean dinos were neat, but apart from that it wasn’t very memorable. But I’ve read the novel and… I’d say the exact same thing about the novel. So it’s a great adaptation. Verne is fun, but Wells had something to say.

Not illogical. I was talking with a friend one night under a tree and had one fall on my face. Super gross.

Yeah but they’re more likely to have their Achilles tendons so there’s that.

A friend of mine had one, I volunteered to ferret sit when they went on vacation. The ferret was adorable but also hyperactive enough that I never want one for a pet.

Yup. My extended family is farmers. They got out of livestock decades ago because there was no profit at the scale they were willing to do it in and animals smell terrible at (abusive) scale. Corn and soybeans, they had a contract with a major company for sweetcorn last I heard.

I love the idea of an air conditioned tractor cab that’s mostly run by GPS and lets me sit around and listen to podcasts while babysitting the tractor, but I don’t want to live in Bumfuck Iowa so I didn’t go into farming.

Yup. They’re manufactured by Hershey’s in the US, and Hershey’s is notorious for using butyric acid in the production of its chocolate, which, yeah, is one of the compounds found in puke. If you grow up eating Hershey’s chocolate you don’t really notice it though.

At least ours aren’t made by Nestle.

U2 was a test run.

Iirc one of the devs left? Action Retro mentioned it in his video on the new Macs. I don’t really care enough to find out more.

I’d seriously consider it if Asahi Linux wasn’t going through a bit of drama right now and won’t get to it for a while. I need a tiny laptop for writing though. If I could find an old 11" MacBook Air that would be great but I don’t think they’re worth what they’re selling for on eBay and finding one cheap locally hasn’t happened for me yet.

Off topic but Berm Peak is awesome.

Texas and Florida haven’t banned it yet.

I ended up saying fuck it and walked my ebike the rest of the way up the hill. I almost died of embarrassment.

I’ve thought about doing food delivery on my ebike for UberEats to make a little extra money, similar bullshit gig job structure.

Don’t forget the not actually public transit! Back when I worked at Disney and went to the parks with friends on my day off, we’d decide which park we’d end at, park there at the start of the day, and just take buses or the monorail to go between parks.

Motorcyclists also believe a loud exhaust makes them more visible to drivers - to what degree this is true is debatable but sometimes the motivation is not pure malice like with cars.

The one exception to this is probably MASH. If I recall correctly they didn’t want the laugh track at all, and when it aired in Europe it didn’t have the laugh track and was better for it.

I’m in the Twin Cities, I’m guessing the person you’re responding to is in a first or second ring suburb (and I’m not dismissing their experience for that - ICE never left Minnesota, they’re just operating in the suburbs now where it’s harder to build a response against them so they’re seeing some shit right now), but concealed carry permit requests are way up right now in the twin cities proper. People here are buying guns in response to the gestapo. I don’t know anyone personally who has purchased a firearm, but I’ve seen the local news articles about the phenomenon.

I live in a city with that kind of temperature variability and I commute by ebike about nine months of the year since I can’t get studded tires for my bike and my route just isn’t safe without them. That said, I’m only traveling about 40 minutes each way (~7.5 miles) - I’ve done rides of 90 minutes each way and there’s absolutely nights I want to keep riding rather than going straight home, but there’s also nights I’m happy to get home and have a bowl of soup. That said, I know of at least one lemming who does that kind of commute but I think she lives somewhere with less extreme winters and I think it’d be weird to tag her for this lol.

Also at that kind of distance you’re looking at range issues if traveling at full pedal assist on most ebikes if you can’t charge at work.

… And this is assuming your car commute time isn’t due to traffic gridlock. Although I assume you’d mention it if you lived somewhere like that.
