What's interesting in watching all this unfold is the revelation to us all just how unsustainable a lot of this is.

I'm doing ok, saved a bunch ahead of this dumpster fire bc I was afraid it'd happen. But it's weird watching people suffer at their own self-inflicted consequences.

I want to help, but... 🤷

Fucking same. This is seemingly a lack of water flow, so likely not a steam explosion, but... Fuck finding out, there's an emergency cutoff outside for this very reason.

I remember driving that lane, it was a little harrowing even in my narrow old first car, at anything beyond 25mph.

100%, also how would I indicate to colleagues or successors when I used what value for pi? Clear diving is a thing for me.

Safety factors are both more explicit and self-documenting up to a certain point.

I've seen it when passing thru Dubai.

Very hard to be team human when you see what we do to our own.

That's the point.

Cool shit, thanks for sharing this.

What if "the right way" is purposely blocked or made impossible?

A lot of American history has clear demonstration of using the letter of the law to impede people trying to live their life.

Georgia city clerk: "Oh sorry, we need you to bring your land ownership forms. Don't own land? Well, this office is closed for lunch, have a good day".

Anyone have input here?

I'm trying to decide which I like, yammie noob had a cool vid comparing the two with the xsr seemingly on top, but spec-wise, the z900 should be wild. I'm aware there are tune and exhaust kits to wake the undertuned z900 up.

I like spirited riding, but mostly on straights as I roar off to a campsite in the mountains. What do you folks think?

Google Pay alternative?

Hey there, I'm looking for an alternative to Google pay that'll allow me to use NFC payments etc. Thoughts?

I don't have a Google account, nor am I interested in opening one.

E: Just to clarify, the payment part would be convenient, more annoying is how I don't get to use a single place for my subway/gym/ticketmaster passes.

 

What a way to start the day. Had a spare, so it added a few minutes to my morning. Carefully cleaned the dust from around the plug, swapped, started and rode.

NBD, but what the fuck?
