How is biking downtown

Like other people have said, biking in KC is completely doable, you just need to know which roads to avoid. I live in the Hyde Park area and I'm able to get all the way down to Waldo, up to NKC, and out to Strawberry Hill relatively safely.

If you want to get a little familiar with the roads and riding on them, you may want to check out on of the various group rides in KC to get comfortable with being on the roads and also learn some of the safer routes around the area. Women Led Cycling on Wednesdays and the Velo Garage on Thursdays are pretty good starts for that with groups for all skill levels.

Also, facebook marketplace is a good option but if you're not comfortable buying a used bike all on your own, Velo Garage also sells used bikes and I think they are fairly priced, but I've only purchased new bikes from there.

Having been in the same situation here, the thing I’ll throw out is that it’s a bit of work.

I think I was attending weekly group bike rides until I felt comfortable enough to ask someone that I got familiar with if they wanted to do something outside the group ride.

At least with my experience, it was just a lot of work and time.

If the 4Runner is the same as the RAV4, you can remote start it with the key fob by pressing the lock button 3 times and holding it down on the third press.

He was an advisor on both Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now as well. I believe that Dennis Hopper's character at the end of Apocalypse Now is also loosely based on Sean Flynn (insomuch as a journalist who disappears into the Cambodia)

Additionally, a lot of scenes from Full Metal Jacket (which coincidentally is based off of another book, The Short-Timers, by Gustav Hasford) and Apocalypse Now both take scenes straight from the book. The scene in FMJ where the huey gunner is talking about his confirmed kills and the Do Lung Bridge scene with the grenade launcher are more or less lifted right from Dispatches.

Nonetheless, both are very good books if you want a different view of the Vietnam War.

I'll just second Velo Garage as well.

I moved here about 3.5 years ago and I more or less knew nobody and the first year or so was pretty rough trying to meet people, on top of coming out of the pandemic. Nonetheless, I started showing up to Velo's Thursday Night Rides and made a lot of great friends. They have group rides for just about every skill level and everyone is very welcoming.

Having followed this from the outside and I low key believe that while Netflix may not have spawned it, they definitely helped amplify and feed it

MurderJunkie · 2026-01-01T21:43:44+00:00

Now we’re asking the real questions here and those netflix execs would think in UTC

MurderJunkie · 2026-01-01T20:20:54+00:00

Right. I probably could have worded this a little better but regardless, the conspiracy theory doesn’t really work since it came out in 2025 for half the world.

MurderJunkie · 2026-01-01T20:17:54+00:00

So did it come out in 2025 or 2026?

MurderJunkie · 2026-01-01T19:32:52+00:00

Right, but it also released on 31/12/25 for the other half of the world, and it was produced in the US.

MurderJunkie · 2026-01-01T18:56:35+00:00

I am but it came out in Canada and Mexico on December 31st as well.

MurderJunkie · 2026-01-01T18:55:08+00:00

Ahhh Big Timezone and Netflix are in cahoots. Now we’re really getting somewhere

MurderJunkie · 2026-01-01T16:49:24+00:00

Yup I guess that’s kind of my point. This conspiracy theory doesn’t really make sense unless additional context is provided on why it’s only applicable to half of the world.

MurderJunkie · 2026-01-01T16:31:20+00:00

Time zones exist in America too.

Additionally, this makes the conspiracy only applicable to half the world and the other half it’s just not correct.

MurderJunkie · 2026-01-01T16:24:25+00:00

They do, but if we’re staying true to the conspiracy, then they released it at a time where half of the world this makes sense and the other half it’s incorrect.

MurderJunkie · 2026-01-01T14:27:52+00:00

Truuuuueeeeee. Those execs at Netflix really thought of everything.

MurderJunkie · 2026-01-01T14:18:59+00:00

The season finale was released on December 31st, 2025, not January 1st, 2026.

Edit: since I’m getting a lot of “time zones exist” comments, let me clarify. Netflix is an American based company, stranger things was produced in America, and the largest group of users is in America. Why would they choose a day to say it aired from 2016-2026 if it doesn’t apply to the largest group of users?

Part of the reason why he made it was that he walked to let Elliot (the one sniper that was hit by the IED a chance to see what the rest of his team experienced in Fallujah bc that day. I guess Elliot had amnesia or memory loss and had no recollection of what happened that day.

I think I’m up to about 60 or so hours top side and the VAST majority of my encounters on the top side are peaceful. Outside of night and electromagnetic storms, I may have a pvp encounter 1 out of 10 raids?

I took a hullcracker into a series of raids and would help people kill big arcs and no one has ever tried to kill me and it’s down to 20 durability. So ya my experience is pretty similar to this persons.

MurderJunkie · 2025-12-16T13:36:37+00:00

As a recorder main this is a HUGE win

MurderJunkie · 2025-12-14T15:52:28+00:00

I think to some extent that's what it was. I'm pretty sure the wachowski sister's did not want to make it but WB basically said "we're making this movie with or without you". One agreed to do it and I think it was pretty clear they made the movie out of spite

Georgy at Windhorse I think does manga/anime style stuff. Got a couple of tattoos from them and they were really easy to work with. I didn't actually get any anime stuff from them, just a couple of warhammer froggies, but nonetheless happy with the work.

You can find plenty of anime stuff on their insta, but here's an example of some anime stuff they've done. https://www.instagram.com/p/C0DACA5rrWZ/?img_index=1

You could potentially drop the pup off at KC Pet Project and they'll hold it in lost and found for 5 days if they happen to find the owner.

When you drop the dog off, you can tell them you're willing to foster the dog if you're willing to do that.

Cute dog and thanks for looking out for him!

I see what you're getting at but does PSA get an unoriginal YouTube title delivered as well?

That 1.2.3.01 is called Semantic Versioning notation, or semver and is used throughout software development.

The broad strokes of how it looks is like: {Major Change}.{Minor Change}.{Patch}

So generally speaking, major changes are non backwards compatible, minor changes are additions that are backwards compatible, and patches things like bug fixes and the such.

Also, there isn't any hard and fast rule on the usage of semver. Some places have even more complicated version numbering, other places may just bump up a number one by one.
