my wife and I both use the 8bitdo ultimate 2c. its slightly small and better for smaller hands, but its probably the best controller for the price where i live (usa; ~$30)

it can be difficult to hit the L4/R4 inner shoulders, so dont plan on using them unless your hands look like daddy longlegs.

to retire as early as possible so i can do the things i want instead of doing the things my employer wants.

i started in january of this year because i upgraded my wife's computer. that gave me an old computer to tinker with.

i recommend getting an old computer, installing an OS (look up thinks like truenas, proxmox, unraid... there are more and they are different; try them all out if you want to see what you like)

then go onto youtube and search for things like " beginner" and you will get a bunch of tips/tricks/tutorials/etc. for starting out with your favorite.

yes - thank you; this is extremely important when thinking of the future logistics of riding an electric vehicle.

thankfully i am in southern california so its just 75°F every day, but will be very important to consider for anyone that finds themself here later <3

you will get weirdly excited about a new vacuum you love and tell everyone about its features.

isnt my brother's wife's mother my mother-in-law?

 

I am looking for a replacement for my car due to a recent disability that made it difficult to use my right leg.

i currently have an electric bike, and that has worked wonders in being able to get around, but i can only go ~7-10 miles away from my house - in the suburban sprawl of southern california, this isnt even enough to go to my closest friend's house.

i feel unsafe driving (trouble pressing the brake hard enough if needed beyond one-pedal driving), and i am looking for a vehicle that

  1. doesnt require the use of my foot/feet (big problem in my toes, so no toe shifting)
  2. can carry my wife, groceries, and/or both
  3. has a range of at least 100 miles
  4. can be ridden on the freeway
  5. (not required, but would prefer) electric motor instead of gas-powered

i had the idea of an electric motorcycle with a variable transmission and sidecar, but i have been unable to find anything like that on the market. i dont really know anything about motorcycles - i have never driven one but i am willing to learn.

i understand my needs are a bit odd, but i was wondering if anyone had some insight or any recommendations i may not have thought of to get around.

thank you!

 

it has been difficult for me to find reliable or consistent information on things like e-bikes, e-scooters, and other forms of personal transport, mostly due to the market being flooded by fly-by-night companies.

is there a good resource that any of you use, especially for reviews of well-respected brands?
