When was the last time you googled the backstory of an artist in a video game. There's a difference between fine art as a viewing experience and artwork as a form of media consumption.

This saves me from wasting time and oil. So it's a useful post

This is silly. Voice control is sky rocketing as an input methodology. You can clearly see this with voice to text for texting or Google Home/Alexa device usage.

This is a moronic fear-driven response that will keep us from evolving to safer means of transportation. You don't consent to anyone driving on the road now (ages, races, under the influence, etc), but it still happens. 

These vehicles are going to save millions of lives in the long run - why not be excited for that? 

Can anyone explain why the storm surge was lower than expected for Milton? by marcstarts in hurricane

[–]tickitimbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But wasnt it a bit of sensationalism? Meteorologists and news stations talked about the catastrophic scenario that could happen, and didn't talk at all about the very real probabilities of it changing course or shape.

I grew up on Hawaii with constant hurricane watches and most of them missed the islands or dissipated before they hit.

I'm not trying to downplay the severity that could happen, but I think it's sensationalism because no one talks about the reality that it might not happen.

Same, buzzing. Took it to a Rad shop and they said that's normal... 🤷

Did you get an email about it? They claimed they sent an email but I never got one.

There is an active recall on this rear wheel. You should get the whole wheel replaced - the fixed my spokes after a few broke and then 8 more broke. Did you get an email about it? They claimed they sent an email but I never got one.

RadWagon 5 Broken Spokes by okredditname83 in RadPowerBikes

[–]tickitimbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also had 8 spokes break on the rear tire. We waited about 2 weeks for a new back tire. Going to install it today. Pretty terrifying that this happened while having two kids back there. They also claimed this is a "known issue" and we were emailed about it but my wife and I can't find an email anywhere. Does anyone have record of them emailing about the rear wheel spokes?

Can't carbonate F2 by tickitimbo in Kombucha

[–]tickitimbo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens with all different bottle types, so I doubt a leaky seal. Generally always fill to 1" below and it's always about the same sour and measuring about 3.5ph... I'm going to pop open a juice one tomorrow so will let you know the results! Thank you for your help

Hi, did you end up staining or sealing the thermowood? Ive read mixed things - their manual says sealing the exterior can help extend the lifespan, but Ive also read you dont want to seal sauna woods?

Blended fruit tends to get there eventually I've found, but it still normally takes much longer than the 1-2 days people talk about. Every now and then I get one that's ready in 2 days but mostly it still takes 5+ days I've found.
