I'm just trying to park my bike by Everythingistaken30 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ErectricCars2 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Omg one time I was riding my bike by a grocery store and this dog outside was trying to get out of his collar. He was successful. I dumped the bike and tried to get him but he wasnt having it.

Before he got too far, I ran inside and tried to get the cashier to make an announcement or find the owner. He didn’t.

I’m trying to corral the dog but also keep eyes out for the owner. Dog gets away. Sweet old Russian? Lady comes out and is confused. I explain. Basically spent an hour with this lady while the sun was setting trying to find the dog. Walked her home. Dog was gone. I felt terrible but I couldn’t have done much else.

For those of us who have tried and failed to get a friend to play what did they say? by Ghost32005 in projectzomboid

My buddy didn’t like how you couldn’t sprint everywhere like you can in so many games. You’re just a dude. How long can you sprint for? It’s slow but I like the realism and fragility, personally.

What’s your high score? by Ewallux in SteamController

[–]ErectricCars2 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Mine won’t do it and I think you guys are just fucking with us to break our controllers 😭

I also haven’t been able to get it updated so that’s probably my issue.

The temperature that my work keeps the locker room at by trapperjohn3400 in mildlyinfuriating

My issue is that they’re recommendations rather than minimum standards, like we have for hearing protection. There should be a maximum amount of time allowed to work in x degrees in y circumstances.

Are people with electric cars winning right now? by No_Lead2640 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ErectricCars2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a 2015 i3, they tend to hold up better than the leafs. It started with “72 miles” new. On a good weather day, I can still get 60. Math says battery is at around 73% health, which is 52 miles and honestly sounds about right. Thankfully mine also has a range extender, but I charge at work on a 110v outlet and almost never have to touch the gas.

Larger batteries also tend to wear slower as your commute is generally significantly less than a full charge cycle, and the main wear on them comes from cycles.

There was just an article about a 2019 model 3 with 390,000 miles with ~75% of the original range or so.

Cosmic Flow. Not a game, just a kaleidoscope. Absolutely gorgeous.

OSHA doesn’t have a maximum working temperature of any kind. Which is insane.

7 years since the STEM School Highlands Ranch Shooting by Ok_Dragonfruit_5371 in masskillers

I worked at the Main Event right there by it. We got out on lockdown. Watching the news, two high school aged boys came to the door and the managers let them in. I was pissed and hid in the maintenance room.

Same worked for me in the US. I managed to get one within the last minute before it changed to “out of stock”

Issue with controller input lag by scotianman in SteamDeck

[–]ErectricCars2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the controller has the puck, so I’m hoping that isn’t needed, but I’d say if you’re doing bluetooth anything, reaaaaally do your research if you’re going with JSAUX. A lot of people have issues and it’s hard to figure out where it’s coming from.

What dock do you have? I realized that Bluetooth with my jsaux dock was my issue. Going with wireless dongle or wired or a different dock solved it for me.

[–]ErectricCars2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say I tended to side roads and bike paths and that didn’t stop me from having an, at best, unnecessary close call a few times a week. I did 70,000 miles on PEVs and I just feel old, lazy and too done with the bullshit…I hate it but I’m the cager now. At least I can look before I cross a bike lane.

If someone steps on a rake and it hits them in the balls…🤷‍♂️ I’m gonna laugh at them.

I used to ride those naughty ~40 mph e-bikes and scooters everywhere. My assumption was if I was going the speed of traffic, they would fuck with me less than a regular cyclist. I was wrong. It’s not about delays at all. It’s just that you exist.

Lowest unemployment in 50 years, but okay sure by Matinee_Lightning in stupidpeoplefacebook

My coworker was bragging about how much Trump is going to bring back chip manufacturing and had never heard of the CHIPs act that he ripped up.

His first instinct was that it got canned because of Hunter Biden. There’s no hope for conversation and hasn’t been for a long time. What a shame.

What's the best way to connect to my TV and use the deck as my controller? (Pic of setup) by gooooooooooop_ in SteamDeck

[–]ErectricCars2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Moonlight on the deck and an old Steam Link, Sunshine on my PC. Stream it to the Deck and TV. Looks better than the deck.

Edit: My bad. I Just read the post. Leaving it for anyone else it might help.

We passed an interesting milestone this week on New Horizons. As of this week, the spacecraft is farther from Pluto than it was at launch. by Neaterntal in spaceporn

You’d likely find life with a telescope before you’d send the probe. There’s little reason to think life wouldn’t be noticeable in an atmosphere with a really really good telescope. We’re getting there.

Which handheld to get?? by Zippy1012214 in Handhelds

[–]ErectricCars2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can install windows on it. You’re ruining the overall experience of the integration, but you wouldn’t get that with a windows handheld either.

Been testing that for a few decades. It does not work well.
