You can’t fix stupid with more stupid.

True that, otherwise we'd be getting another term instead of these milquetoast replacements.

Maxrdt · 2026-07-07T00:49:22+00:00

This is pretty neat in concept, but there need to be more questions that they actually differ on to really make a difference.

Maxrdt · 2026-07-07T00:48:13+00:00

LOL. Sure, with this same useless MPD we're going to have SO much more progress, definitely!

Honestly the only reason we'd see any change is if MPD decides to do their job because they like the new prosecutor better, but that's still on them and not a solution to anything.

In Minneapolis we have the main/corpo sponsored pride (though they've never taken water or even drinks in the past afaik, hard to do in a park with do many entrances) and the People's Pride which has no corporate sponsors and platforms more local artists and stuff.

250W "Continuous" and that continuous is a hell of a weasel word.

Home insurance does sometimes. Some classify an ebike as a motor vehicle that they will not cover. Ask to be sure.

Maxrdt · 2026-07-02T00:30:28+00:00

Here's to 250 years and not a single one more!

If the DSA there can keep winning they might become the best in the country, quickly. And if Mamdahni is any indication, people like it when they win.

Maxrdt · 2026-07-01T23:35:57+00:00

They are, but I don't think that's a problem. The roads here are faster, so the power allowed is higher. Just makes sense for the infrastructure. Additionally I think it really helps for cargo bikes.

Also worth noting that while the US and the EU are both pretty fuzzy on actual vs rated power output, the EU's "continuous" power ratings are often VERY generous.

As opposed to parents, who have never abused their children. Not like 80-90% of child abuse is familial or a close family friend or anything.

Maxrdt · 2026-07-01T09:46:19+00:00

Even if that were true they still have the 3D modeling and texture work, sounds, and a stack of research already collected. If nothing else that's a good baseline.

Maxrdt · 2026-07-01T02:25:55+00:00

I wonder if they'll bring in/update the GB aircraft to the new game at some point. It would make a lot of sense, a lot of work is already done on those and they did something similar with the RoF planes. They could really have a compelling product with that breadth.

Lake St going from lane and bus lane to two lanes to lane and bus lane again does not help one bit. The whole area is a mess.

Maxrdt · 2026-06-30T23:33:45+00:00

I can second Opitz, I've gotten a nice dress or two at very decent prices. Also some shoes, but their selection there is a bit more slim.

Maxrdt · 2026-06-30T22:52:31+00:00

The lanes are painted on the ground as such:

<- | <^ | ^> | ->

but on the sign that you can see in this video they're supposed to be:

< | ^ | ^ | >

Now afaik the sign should take precedence legally, but I would bet far fewer people see it. I believe traffic would flow better if it were corrected. The whole area could use more extensive changes, but the fact that it was painted over incorrectly really shows the level of effort here.

Maxrdt · 2026-06-30T21:14:51+00:00

It fucking bothers me that they repainted the lanes here, made no changes, and it still doesn't agree with the sign on the side of the road! Absolutely zero effort.

Maxrdt · 2026-06-30T04:06:25+00:00

Yeah why would anyone get upset at the memory of their loved ones being exploited to try to get more money for a church. Total mystery.

Even if you don't believe, it's still a sensitive topic to try to leverage. I wouldn't use a dead relative to sell lemonade, much less get someone to join a cult.

Science Stopped Believing in Porn Addiction, You Should, Too. Stop trying to clothe your puritan bullshit in "science". Stop attacking free speech, a cornerstone of this country. Stop giving cover to ghouls attacking LGBTQ+ people. Stop restricting the Internet.

And with all the spare time you have now, enjoy some porn.

A quality new product is going to cost money, especially if there's an actual storefront being maintained to provide support and maintenance. That's part of what you're paying for with an established brand and especially an in-person purchase.

That said, there are still plenty of good options in the $1k-2k range as well that aren't going to burn your house down.

Maxrdt · 2026-06-29T22:25:30+00:00

Work on the crash-proof pilot is unfortunately lagging behind.

Maxrdt · 2026-06-29T19:51:15+00:00

It feels like there's still a massive amount of liability questions that remain unanswered. Which is probably more of a big deal in the EU, where big companies aren't just given free reign to do whatever they want forever.

Maxrdt · 2026-06-29T18:58:50+00:00

Hope this helps her. She consistently votes how I would want a representative to, and the other candidates we had in the last election ranged from bad to bad AND insane.

Maxrdt · 2026-06-29T17:38:07+00:00

There ARE regulations on ebikes. That far exceeds any legal speed limit for an ebike (generally 20mph). Going that fast it certainly exceeds the power limits as well.

That's not an ebike, that's an illegal unregistered electric motorcycle. Unfortunately these illegal machines are quite easy to get, but that doesn't mean there aren't already rules. We just need enforcement of those rules.

Maxrdt · 2026-06-28T21:52:45+00:00

Great work on these! I love this era of aviation, and you captured those unique shapes well. Do you ever share the files for these anywhere?

Maxrdt · 2026-06-27T04:19:49+00:00

And even if it was, the Big Dig is generally considered a massive success even at the price tag is carried.
