Doing my first BMX race next weekend. Really going into the deep end, and going to a National-level race. I’ve been on a track 1 time previously. Now I’ve done a loooooot of MX racing in my life, so I’m comfortable on any kind of bike, but I haven’t raced anything in over a decade probably, so the nerves are there.

Anyone interested, we have !motocross@lemmy.world for discussion. It has lapsed as of late, as I have been (quite literally) the only participant, but trying to do more to get it going. Join if you want, I’ll try to get Race Threads going as well!

I’ve been having similar issues, and when I am given an answer or find it way back in comment histories, I’ll copy and paste it into mine and reference the older post. This seems to help a lot in Discords where it serves you results based on date since post.

LEMMiNO is my favorite bi-annual creator.

Nexpo does some really good stuff too, but I think recently he’s just been doing like Reddit deep dives, and that is only so interesting.

I missed those, I go through phases with him. I get it though, guy cranks out videos and probably gets old using the same cave diving stock videos lol.

Scary Interesting does some horror documentary stuff about, idk, scary situations people have been stuck in. No AI images, which is saying something, cause he always has some kind of background or graphic going.

Yeah I’d be cool with this. As I get older, and I realize just how much time modders put into these things. And in a field so hard to break into, I’m all about them having a way to get some financial support for their time, effort, and skills. I also realize that the platform costs money, and some portion would go to the parent company. But it would have to be something reasonable, otherwise it’s just exploitative. Which is the kinda company WotC is, so…lol

That definitely tracks with what I know of WotC. Sucks, cause I’d be mroe than happy to pay both modders, especially if it was quality content, and if WotC wants a reasonable cut, then that’s just part of it I suppose. But nah…they suck lol

They have venture capital backing as a direct competitor to Twitter. I’m sure there are other sources as well, but that’s the big one, I think.

If you would read your comment, you would see you are referring to Fine as he or him multiple times. Which is why I said I was confused. Fine is not a man, nor did AIPAC pick a “him”. I was wanting clarification on that part of the comment. The rest of my comment was not me stating you are wrong, but why it continues to be confusing, as Biss also has pro-Israeli ties, just not to AIPAC specifically.

We are not in disagreement over anything. Your comment is just unclear on who you are referencing.

I’m confused. Laura Fine was the AIPAC candidate, she got 3rd. Biss was the winner, and Kat got 2nd. AIPAC didn’t pick him, they backed Fine. Biss did get some funding from other pro-Israel sources, from what I’ve seen, but they’re more moderate in their takes on Israel’s Palestine policy and were recommending economic and aid/weapon sanctions against Israel (J Street or something?).

Everything is pretty smoke-and-mirror with this shit though so I won’t claim to be an expert on every Israeli-tied PAC or lobby, so please correct me if I’m wrong!

Custom campaigns would be huuuuge for BG3. I don’t find a lot of joy in just playing it with new choices, so this adds a ton of opportunity for replaying it. It’d be awesome to see it turn into a game engine for homebrewed campaigns and such.

I’m loathe to agree with Ferrari, but I agree to a point. You can’t change it now, that messes with the entire design philosophy Ferrari made, and they can’t well change it. And regulating the other cars to be more competitive out of their own performance deficits while giving Ferrari no way to cover their own (under supposed new start procedures) is a huge slap in the face, especially with them raising this exact concern.

Sucks to suck I guess. I was very much of the “wait and see” persuasion with the new regs, but I think I’ve seen enough. Clipping is stupid, the back and forth passing off of basically “push to overtake”, it just isn’t good. It could probably be salvaged, but who knows what we’ll end up with.

He’s saying that they do run all the time, and then when the election is over, they disappear and do nothing until the next election. This is likely more in reference to National races or big federal seats.

Depending on the age, you may need a new drum unit, but I think that may also just be a deficit of laser.

Echoing others, Brother laser printers. Cheap, reliable, and toner lasts forever. Initial one with purchase is like…40% of standard, and will still get you a few hundred pages. The regular ones are like 1200+, and the large ones are I think pushing 2k for like $70.

You can do stickers on sticker paper with lasers, but idk the quality. Is it like…address labels? If so, lasers are perfect tly fine for that. Fine details? Idk.

Yeah, this would be good in my mind. I don’t even care if it’s just the communities my instance is federated with only; I would imagine I land with an instance that shares my values, so their federation I’d be OK with (hypothetically). I just don’t want to feel like I’m missing out by being somewhere else and not knowing/being aware of a portion of the community. I want the discussion just as much as I want the information presented.

I’d say for the most part, yes. I am not actively researching bands or authors that come up on lists and other things beyond just “do I think I will like this”. And if it’s, idk how else to phrase it, not “major” grievances, I’ll still likely consume the media. I tend to pirate books then buy them if I enjoyed them, and I pay for YT Premium so the music just comes along with it. However, for the more serious stuff (a la Lost Prophets), they are skipped and removed from libraries. If stuff is brought to my attention about new artists, I’ll also act how I feel accordingly. I don’t take it upon myself to push others to share my view, but I do appreciate when others inform me, so I try to do the same.

If it’s just humor of creators, I would probably still watch it, but when it skews toward hateful, it becomes less funny. I don’t need an agenda, I want something smart and funny. Humor that is reduced down to slurs or just trolling is not funny. If I was 12, maybe, but those days are (long) gone.

Which is why I was making fun of the graphic they posted after AUS comparing the 120 overtakes this year to 40 last year

It looks like a kids postal stamp art winner, but in a good way. It’s endearing.
