The brewery I hang out at sells the onewheels - they’re an authorized dealer. The brewer and co-owners all have XR’s which they ride all around town. It sounds great, they use them often…

Except when you talk to them about their injuries… One guy fell and broke his wrist once, another guy broke and cracked a rib, the brewer broke his shoulder one time, then his wrist another time.

Yet they still ride them!!

I got a pint - rode it a few times until I few off once and haven’t ridden it since. I’m looking forward to selling it soon enough.

Biiig difference to me - kinda annoying. I’m sure it’ll grow on me eventually - but the show is loosing its pizazz, I hope they can turn it around.

Cool, can’t wait for the first season to drop, everyone be pissed that it’s not the original office, and then the series is abruptly cancelled after two seasons if they even make it to season two.

Hopefully you’re doing better!

Everyone has a unique identifier. If you don’t share that with anyone, how would they know who’s vote it is? Couldn’t the number be randomized and a new UUID provided on a routine basis?

Every American has a Social Security number, but it’s not exactly like we’re told to broadcast it to the world… I don’t see why something like that couldn’t be implemented here using technology.

My point is the general ledger technology of the blockchain which would be beneficial here.

But of course this is all a pipe dream. America is damn near a Kleptocracy and both political parties have written laws to prevent a third political party from ever arising.

I’d love to see that happen, But it’s because America won’t switch to a direct democracy. Instead we have a Kleptocracy run by corporations and the 1% who have power over both parties in America. However if it were possible to create a third political party where every member of the party earns only one vote maybe it would give people power back over corporations. But it’s a pipe dream, I know it’ll never happen.

I personally envision a future where we use blockchain technology to create a new direct democracy party in which every member has a unique identifier and the blockchain ledger system used to track polling data. Every individual member of the party would have one vote in each poll at ever level (federal, state, regional, etc) - for every single thing that gets a vote, and the elected politician representing that party would be required to vote based on the polling data.

Everyone would have access to a copy of the ledger to confirm their votes are counted accurately, and they can review polling data to confirm their elected politicians are voting based on polling data, and the representative would be replaced if they do not adhere to the results

Yeah, I certainly won’t use any product associated with that muskrat.

Lol, good.

I’ve been so tempted to make and sell custom flags printed with pro-Biden/LGBTQ themes, then have pro-trump messaging printed on top using a water-soluble ink so that these idiots would hang the flags proudly like they always do…only to have the flags change completely the first time it rains hahaha. I’d love to see them frantically trying to pull down a flag in a rainstorm 😂

Few years older than you, decided not to have children after considering our healthcare, the climate, politics, etc. Why would I ever bring a child into this hell?

Dang, that stinks - I actually enjoy the steering mechanics in this game. It’s the only mobile game I have played in many many years because it’s easy to play a race or two and put the game away.

My dyslexic self read that at first glance as “Face Melting Fleshlight” and I had SO many questions

I thought it was bad that video games required an internet connection

Funny thing is that’s when I stopped gaming. When the Xbox came out and everyone was hopping on the internet, I was like no thanks - I prefer “retro” gaming now where we’re all in one room together drinking beer and laughing while having a good time.

Who do you think writes the medical textbooks handed out to med students? Part of the scam is in the training how and what to prescribe. Many doctors will treat the symptoms while ignoring the cause. A proper healthy diet and exercise could cure a lot of things, but that’s not profitable advice to give.

I know a woman who spent years fighting a bunch of skin problems and other issues, visiting all kinds of doctors. Finally she figured it out herself. She had turned herself entirely “vegan” for probably a decade or longer, choosing to forgo all meat, especially red meat. Guess what fixed her big issues? Eating a small filet of steak several times a month - her blood type and genetics required something that she was lacking in all her other vitamins/minerals/etc intake. Not saying eating red meat every day is good for the average person either, but just one example where her condition stumped doctors for several years before she chased down a wild theory herself and it worked.

Very true, but we’ll see if there’s any actual recourse. So far teflon don has thumbed his nose the law every way possible. I’m not holding my breath

Cool thanks for that, I’ve honestly never fiddled with Open SUSE, I gravitated to Linux Mint a while back and like that it’s still under constant development.

Lol, oh don’t get me started on ads. I loathe ads to the point where I have a router-level ad blocking to filter them out (I don’t use it but piHole but that’s a great option for the DIYer out there). That combined with my FF uBlock origin extension and I see very few ads anywhere online

I was an avid Firefox user for many years. Switched to Chrome for a while when it got good. But I knew it wouldn’t last - google would find ways to break it. So I switched back to Firefox a few years ago. Haven’t looked back.

Dang, wasn’t aware of that with the animated movie.

and the Calvin pissing image is not an approved image. He regretted not doing more to sue the copyright infringers.

Pretty sure I read that he licensed one of the graphics with calvin pissing, but he never intended for people to copy the design and alter the graphic used in the artwork. Now I’m trying to dig through my old C&H books to find where he mentions it lol.
