I feel this way after finishing grad school and going into industry. Nobody wants to just nerd out

Im sorry you suffered through that

This was so cringe I couldn’t even finish the video

It will be centered around everyone’s most beloved character.

You’re making a comic about Grendel!?! Thats so exciting

I think any of those bikes would suit your needs. Unless you’re extremely concerned about wind resistance or riding a fat bike, tire size wont make a big difference. The tread, material, and most importantly, air pressure of the tires are what you should be concerned with more than anything else. Personally, I ride a fully rigid 29" mountain bike that i primarily use for commuting. I find the wide tires are great for dealing with the shit road quality and I enjoy being able to take it off-roading without any hassle.

As for the bikes themselves, its hard to make a recommendation if you haven’t biked in ten years because our bodies and preferences change over time. If you know the types of things you like then its easier (or maybe harder) to find a bike you’ll like. In your position, I would honestly go for the cheapest bike available with fender/rack mounting points on the rear and the fork and just send it. Honestly, I might even go as far as suggesting you buy a secondhand bike and just seeing what you like and dislike about it before getting something new and shiny.

All that being said, I really love the overall vibe of the Marin Larkspur, good vibes and easy riding.

Great! So we can stop increasing the military budget now right?

What is the limit of a “community”? I live in a city where it is certainly not practical to grow the food needed to feed the city inside thr city limits. On thr other hand, in my province there is tons of high quality land that would be more than sufficient to grow enough food for the whole province, especially if the food system shifted to a vegetarian-focused one. Thats a lot bigger than my “community” but it is a lot more practical and arguably more sustainable.

Has this capital flight resulted in a measurable negative impact to California’s economy?

Its a myth in the sense that it isnt significant except in extreme scenarios (e.g. violent regime change, economic collapse). A modest wealth tax will not make that happen.

Capital flight is a myth. Not only that, but some capital is just challenging to move. Irving and Weston arent going to move their whole operations to other countries. Plus Canada has an exit tax.

One issue i had with typst that was never an issue with LaTeX is dealing with big documents. One of the reports I was putting together had a very big appendix with a lot of images. I run typst locally and it autocompiles as you write, but with more images, it uses more RAM and everything slows down. The problem I had was that the thing would crash every time I tried to write anything. I turned off automobile and do it manually now, but it still cant so the full document with the appendix. My work around was to compile the appendix separately and in ten page increments, then merge the pdfs afterwards. This sort of thing would never be an issue in LaTeX with the added convenience of draft mode for big documents with lots of figures.

In fairness, this behavior is definitely a result of some bug and compiling everything is still significantly faster than LaTeX.

Another thing that kind of bothers me is references. I am a big fan of the natbib way of writing \citet or \citep. In Typst, you normally type “@Doe2026” and it produces a normal citation like \citep, but if you want anything else, you have to use the far more cumbersome #cite command or define a custome function. Its not that big of a deal but still annoying for me.

You’re implying that the Liberals are left-wing

I’ve used both and while Typst is very impressive and usable, it still has not reached feature parity with LaTeX. That being said, there are some aspects to Typst that are either do not exist in LaTeX or are extremely user unfriendly. Tables for instance, are very easy to import into Typst and can be done directly from a CSV file. I’ve also personally taken advantage of the YAML import feature to automatically generate appendices from notes that could not reasonably fit into a table. I’ve definitely had my fair share of experiences wrestling with Typst to do things that are trivial in LaTeX but overall I have a good experience with it. I use it for some report writing at work (and I use a latex-like report template) and so far prefer it to LaTeX. I suggest you try it out and see if it works for you.

Damn, so Russia could have been a Democratic Socialist country if it weren’t for this error?

What are you talking about? DEI based loans? Mass immigration? Who is proposing these policies?

What was it about Mulcair that you like? He always seemed very Liberal to me and never proposed policy that seemed very pro labour (e.g. balance the budget in one year). I can tell you aren’t a fan of Avi Lewis, but all the candidates are more pro labour than Mulcair and IMO have proposed better policy than him.

What sort of candidate were you hoping for?

Im impressed you got to the end with how much shitposting you do! Congrats Dr. Fossilesque!

Kijiji has definitely declined over the years. The ads are bad, but I find the worst aspect is the amount of accounts on there that are just shops selling new products rather than people reselling their old stuff. It makes it very annoying trying to find second hand shit.

Oh that actually makes a lot of sense, thank you!
