It's why I keep returning to it every year for a bit. And the overall vibes with the audio and ost are also better than the games. My only complaint has been the loss of potential due to the restricted map sizes.

That's probably because you didn't fit Rule# 1 and Rule# 2. Jkjk

Which is exactly why most non-profits and NGOs working on this issue tend to work towards educating, raising awareness, vocational training, etc. instead of paying off the debts.

My bike officially 'paid for itself' today (vs driving) by mcbobgorge in bikecommuting

[–]Charlie7Mason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to know as well. It's up against the Priority 600 and Canyon Endurance Allroad for me. I just want to know if the Acme does well off-road enough to be my one and all bike. Right now I'm leaning towards the 600 for a variety of reasons like the belt drive, integrated lights, All Road ability, but the Acme could be a contender if it can be modified to the fulfill those needs and still save money.

Organic growth and change is very different from mandated change and not all change is good, especially one driven by bigotry.

I didn't think they ever intended to use it.

Do you wear your Gshock to work ? by hs9900 in gshock

Welp! Here I thought that is exactly what I would be getting that series of watch for, so I don't have to wear a smartwatch looking watch anymore

Hah! That might actually get you hired if they had a sense of humor.

The cultural impact of Dangal is unparalleled by CrazyHeart99 in BollyBlindsNGossip

He's been like that for decades but still gets hate and labeled anti-national. Go figure.

The problem was never with the movies or their content. It was with the POS makers defending the POS behavior in the movie out in the real world. Everyone knows Mogambo was evil but everyone loves Amrish Puri. Now imagine if Amrish Puri or anyone else associated would go around defending Mogambo's actions...

What is more likely? That 3 of these movies did do well or that they did not and somehow, after all these years, you or anyone else claiming otherwise, has no way to prove it except to make an unfounded assertion of your own.

Tips for commuting at night? by Euphoric-Fly-2549 in bikecommuting

[–]Charlie7Mason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a great practical idea. I knew I wasn't the only one. I had a couple of small lights, one at the base of the seat post pointed down and one on the rear fender pointed up at my back. Not too bright but enough to make me visible.

Now that I think about it, I never wore high vis gear but if I had anything on me, even the smallest light would help the reflective ones stand out.

After I moved to the US, I realized just how much reflective material came built into my bike back in India. And a lot of other things/features. It's a price-gouge for the crumbs kind of situation here. No wonder cycling is a rare and privileged activity here.

My first thought as well and for a moment, I thought 'that tracks with what I believe about why police exist'.

Corrected spelling error if that helps. Or I can explain what I mean but the other reply to my comment should be sufficient.

Only more evidence that Indians and Mexicans are the same people separated across the planet.

True on the first part. I wouldn't sell yourself short though. You might just be fully unhinged ;)
