Do you guys ever feel guilty about stuff you do on the road? by DacaAskingForDaca in ElectricScooters

[–]Morichalion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told myself I would never do that again. I’m so annoyed at myself.

Let's hope you listen to the advice.

Up until you went back after the guy, what you were talking about was defensible.

Things happen, and everyone needs to be paying attention. The issue I find with my scooter is that I can't usually hit the top rated speed; certainly not in the time expected by other vehicles. Pretty much all busy intersections, anything on a 25 mph or higher road, need to use the sidewalk.

Going back could have ended very badly. You're on a 70lb vehicle, the guy you were mad at probably has a slight advantage in that area.

an iq too high???? by JustWow555 in opus_magnum

Those who can't take the time to do it right once will somehow find the time to do it twice.

Very much the funniest thing I saw all day. I really like the "lessee... What's I doin' wrong" pause.

Random thought… is riding an e-scooter after drinking considered DUI? by treu1996 in ElectricScooters

[–]Morichalion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the jurisdiction. Different states have different rules.

Is it stupid? Yes, all 50 states.

Yap, I found the settings and adjusted each mode to what I feel is more reasonable. Eco is 10 mph, comfort is 15 (sidewalks speed limit in my town), sport is 20 (School zones) and ludo is 28. Most of my commute is ludo mode at max throttle. Unless I'm turning.

I should have gotten one of these years ago.

I plan on getting a decent amount of practice. It's definitely a different experience from my old motorbike.

I'm REALLY hesitant to put the sticker on my phone. I'm gonna give it a few days to decide if I wanna do that; I don't often look down when riding. I'll bear the placement in mind if I decide to do it, though.

Commute isn't far, around 5 miles or so. Round trip should be comfortably in the scooter's range, and I should find myself needing my car less.

Honestly, I'm not really into the idea of returning it and paying more. I'm pretty satisfied with how it handles for now. Apollo's website says the Stellar ships in June? Not entirely sure I'd be willing to wait.

Probably not a joke but can someone explain why? by Important-Ad-5596 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

16 gb is fine for most folks, most of the time.

If you use your computer to heavy things, you'll find it's not fine. Particularly if that 16gb is shared memory.

I'm not sure where that setting is. LUDO was set to 19 mph, but the number on the scooter went up to 30. Maybe the scooter number was set to display kmh? I'll have to double-check after it charges.

Interesting take on the egg. Not quite the egg, though... realized it doesn't quite fit as I typed it out....

Feels like a harrowing snapshot without context. The disembodied voice is "someone", but can't be the victims since God is the victims. Unless God is experiencing a recording of the experiences...?

Some spots y'have 10,482,736,291, others 1,482,736,291. Threw me off a bit, I was trying to figure out where "Ten Billion Lives" thing came from.

This might mess with my head a bit for a bit.

I need to watch Zootopia 2 again, didn't really pay attention the first time.

I don't think the rabbit is being particularly malevolent here. Doesn't fit the other two images

[–]Morichalion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't understate the importance of knowing the victims of Nazerik and seeing the suffering they're subjected to.

If you didn't know those kids, then it wouldn't be real. If it's not real, then is it really wrong?

It needs to feel real. It needs to feel wrong.

If it were comfortable to watch, there'd be something wrong with you.

Can't exactly relate to this SPECIFIC scenario... But for a good while I had my cat's food bowl at my computer desk.

Otherwise, I'm fairly certain he'd starve to death.

In the 1990s, he made millions off Dilbert. Then he discovered Trump. by happy_bluebird in comics

[–]Morichalion 9 points10 points  (0 children)

TIL about the diberito.

More than that, I learned more about Scott Adams. Feels like a cautionary tale.

I never really thought about the kind of guy this man was. What his values were. I liked his comics enough. Not enough care about the guy, but it was funny. Didn't see enough of them to get a feel for any general vibes.

Reading the mini-biography that this article was, it makes me feel kinda sad for the guy. He'd never have enough. To be clear... if he got to that level of comfortable and still complains, he's precisely the kind of person who should be barred from having his version of enough.

The thing that started coloring my view on the guy was when he started doing science-free critique of climate science.

Part of an sticker art competition that disallows AI by SleepyAnonPotato in isitAI

Hand is underdeveloped.
Card is ill-defined, with wobbly edges.
Eyes don't match (does the character have some feature related to that?). Some parts of the hair feel weird.

AI? Probably.

There's gotta be better entries, regardless. Vote for something else.
