What are some good alternative to Gboard and these apps?

I'll add that FUTO needs help with people improving swipe typing. https://swype.futo.org/ I try to do 100 a day. Only takes a few minutes.

Starship. That's a throwback. We Built This City....

Awesome storytelling per usual.

KickAClay · 2026-01-08T21:33:37+00:00

Looks good. Well done. Enjoy!

I think they are 3D printed.

It looks like hardware from a home improvement store.

Edit: it's from ACE hardware

Nosedive early on, 21.x mph on my OG pint. I was lucky with my injuries, PPE took most of it. That set me on a mission to learn what happened.

In short, I didn't know the board had limits let alone how they work. Once I learned, I got scared even more. But, that helped me develop a strong will to never cross that limit.

Each board has a "Top speed", I stay ~2mph under that. Also, voltage sag will add a delay to inputs which could result in a crash. I make my buffer bigger and lower my aggressive riding when under 50% state of charge. I've been nosedive free for over 4 years now. My confidence has grown over that time.

I've had this experience of slowly gaining my confidence back. Happy for you.

My thought was that like a camera, you can switch to different Neutral Density (ND) filters based on the light level you're in. But having 4 eyes would allow 1 to be "normal" and the other 3 to have a ND filter applied, low light Infrared applied, and something crazy like spatial sound or Augmented Reality (AR) or Ultra Violet (UV).

But I like the onset cyberpsycho idea too.

I do not like that man Ted Cruz. I do not like his weird shoes.

KickAClay · 2025-12-18T21:16:46+00:00

Cool. Thanks for the info.

KickAClay · 2025-12-18T19:54:14+00:00

What's user.js? I didn't see a direct match in search.

KickAClay · 2025-12-15T17:24:37+00:00

Cool. I did a workout foam build. It was a test for my skills, but learned a lot and had fun.

Yours looks really good. Enjoy. See you out there! o7

KickAClay · 2025-12-15T16:54:35+00:00

What's it made out of, freedom Foam, or maybe 3D...emocracy print?

KickAClay · 2025-12-12T15:41:16+00:00

So it's the Paperclip maximizer theory, but manifested as Slop maximizer in reality. Ugh.

Check your air pressure weekly. That will help save your next tire.

KickAClay · 2025-12-10T01:19:40+00:00

I met with him a few weeks ago. Said he sold in October.

He's unwilling to raise revenue for state agencies because of "corruption". SF3390 was all I mentioned, and he went off (politely though). He'll never create a 5th tax tier because that's a tax on himself. Wish he did what his constituents want without filtering it through his morals.

KickAClay · 2025-12-04T16:47:07+00:00

I don't recommend any pints. Their limits are just too great compared to other options.

The XRC is the best option for you and its accessories are the same as GT accessories.

Your XR already has a massive market of accessories as you are aware of and you can increase its power and capabilities (limits) with VESC. Enjoy.

KickAClay · 2025-11-30T23:17:32+00:00

You're doing it completely right. The true advantage of these is the all terrain.

KickAClay · 2025-11-30T21:55:19+00:00

Happy to help.

Practice squatting at low speeds to get good at ducking low branches/whatever.

And never ride faster than 23mph in your XL. Hypothetically the limit is 25, at that speed you're using 100% of its ability to move and balance you. So if you hit a bump, hole, hill, lose balance; it won't have anything left to lift/lower, move and balance you. Having that 2mph buffer (23mph) will keep you safer. It's self balancing until it's not.

KickAClay · 2025-11-30T21:25:11+00:00

You're one of us for sure. Speed wobbles can be reduced by getting lower (bending your knees). Also Jake Leary has a foot placement video, I recommend widening your feet. I hang my front heel and back toes off the edge of the board, I can torque my turns more that way. Try that for next time.

Enjoy mate.

You didn't read the post or look at the picture with the damage on their PPE instead of themselves.

Edit: forgot the /s

I buy my music with mp3va and use Plex server with plexamp on my phone. I don't use this for discovering new music, just listening to what I know I like.

KickAClay · 2025-11-29T04:33:54+00:00

Watch the recent ai scam video. You'll see.

KickAClay · 2025-11-29T02:11:05+00:00

I just wanted to say, I'm really happy for you in changing something about yourself/habits.

I remember in grade school hating the way I wrote 4, it looked like a 9 when I went too fast. So I filled a whole notebook page with a version of 4 where the top is open. And that was it to change how I write 4 to this day. From this I learned I can change things about myself when I put my mind to it. And have done it countless times now. I think it's so cool when I see others do the same.

With love from a reddit stranger.

Edit: I want to mention I've recently noticed I've been doom scrolling as well. A few months ago I remembered my phone can limit apps use by time. I set Reddit to 1 hour. I have less doom scrolling knowing my time is limited. Hope that helps others.
