One inch sensor in a phone is incredible. Hope that tech makes it over here

Superfeet are pretty great, but spendy. All the good ones are. Sole are also good but dont last as long ime.

Honestly, I kinda get it. It's getting really hard to find real food. Fries taste WAY better cooked in lard. It used to be the norm, but is impossible to find now. Same with donuts or anything fried, really. Also gluten free stuff tastes like shit. I'm happy it became a trend for the actual celiacs out there though.

I know this is meant to be funny, but animal fat > vegetable or palm oil any day.

I don't know much about the guy's track record in council. But I did tune into the debate before the mayoral election, and two things stood out. First, was that he sounded incredibly reasonable, which was a surprise to me as my leftist echo chamber had me thinking he was an extremist. Second, the whole debate was respectful, sane, and that all the candidates seemed to want the best for the city.

Municipal political partisanship will destroy what seems to me to be the last bastion of cooperative politics in the country, which is a real shame.

The other day a jeep wrangler swiped my car in a parking lot and drove off. I wasn't there but a kind bystander saw it and left their number and the offenders license plate. The damage wasn't small, but also small enough for me to shrug off because it's a 2014 golf wagon and in the end it's just a car.

But the hit and run pissed me off enough that I reported it. The cops found the driver who will be ticketed now and their insurance will go up. If they fessed up I'd have let it slide.

At least your dude fessed up. And yes, they'd all have a much easier time parking if they chose a sensible car.

Make sure you test the same marker and finish on a scrap pie ce first to make sure the ink doesn't run

I hear you. But at the same time if you brodozered your wheelchair mover with a bush bar and off road tires, I'm still yoinking the step stool haha.

More seriously, yeah it sucks there are so few practical vehicles being made that aren't the size of an Asian elephant.

There is no world in which I'd see that truck without stealing the step stool.

I use a keyboard remapper to change the key next to space (windows maybe? Not at my desk) to control. So acts like cmnd. You could do the same in reverse on mac instead. I also recommend changing right opt on mac to forward delete. Gamechanger, that one.

So infuriating. At the very least they could have moved the bike lane inside the parked cars.

While I story of understand you anger, as there are some fools out there that are using their illegal ebikes effectively as motorcycles on bike paths and sidewalks, they are:

  1. In the vast minority
  2. On a 60lb vehicle, instead of a 3000lb vehicle, and can do far less damage as a result.

If you're going to get angry, get angry at cars, car-centric infrastructure, and the fact that people on ebikes don't have the proper cycling infrastructure to stay separated from pedestrians.

It's like they put in so many roads to get "there" that "there" doesn't exist anymore.
