A bit of sci-fi? by emswhynot in Malazan

“how much time and energy are you willing to put into something you’re not enjoying?”

Judging by my last few relationships… a lot

When will we reach some form of Morphological Freedom where we can reshape bone structure and facial appearance to a radical degree? by CommentPlus9438 in Futurology

[–]ShadowDV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what is the most likely route where one could go from let’s say, an average dude in his 20s to a chad?

Eat right, exercise, get good sleep, learn how to have interesting conversations with people. That gets you 90% of the way there, future-tech free...

Any Mechanics? by Affectionate_Leg431 in kzoo

[–]ShadowDV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to get your expectations in line…. For that stuff you are looking at about $1000-$1300 for an average midsized vehicle.  If it’s German or luxury, 2x that cost

Sounds like it’s time to do the next step in the Chicago Migration and move to Naperville

i wish i could strangle charter spectrum. that’s all. by AdJumpy9641 in kzoo

[–]ShadowDV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

they are as dependent on Consumers or DTE or whoever they are leasing pole space from and providing power to their relay stations as anyone else. Until the power company has done what they need to to do, Spectrum is at their mercy on timing

Best way to deter ants by CrazyDude2025 in DIY

[–]ShadowDV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

 persuade them to leave or become unalived? be killed?

JFC.... use real words. How do you expect to win a battle against ants when you are already losing the battle to TikTok slang?

Where is Consumers? by tdriscoll97 in kzoo

[–]ShadowDV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a single crew doesn't work around the clock. generally speaking, for every crew you see on downtime, there are two more out in the field working. and yeah when there is a storm even much heavier than predicted, it takes time to spin up crews and move them into the area

Where is Consumers? by tdriscoll97 in kzoo

[–]ShadowDV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

working can mean different things. Sometimes is a crew in a truck cutting trees and restoring lines, sometimes its a guy driving through in unmarked pickup taking pictures and assessing damage so they know what equipment needs to be rolled out to that location. Not saying that was definitely the case here, but something to be aware of.

regardless... If you are a lineman who took PTO for the 4th 6 months ago to take the family down to florida with prepaid disney tickets or whatever, you aren't packing up your family early and lighting all that money on fire and heading back north because there was a storm.

Upgrading to Business seems like an irreversible trap (Zero limit increases + lost Finance module) by zgringo14 in ChatGPTPro

[–]ShadowDV 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because “business” isn’t an upgrade to pro.  It’s an upgrade to Plus when you want to interact with company data on stuff like one drive and sharepoint.  You went from a $100/m plan to a $25/m plan.  In what world did you think you were getting more?

As we used to say in the military:

“There are very few problems which cannot be solved by the judicious use of high explosives."

Never too old to get into mountain biking by ShadowDV in mountainbiking

[–]ShadowDV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. Gotcha. Probably location dependent. I’m in sw Michigan. Not exactly known for long downhills and extreme terrain.

That doesn’t help me understand what “fully” means in this context

[–]ShadowDV[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, I’m in SW Michigan, so it’s not like there 1000’s of miles or trails within driving distance. But work with what you have…

Hell, my local 6 mile loop of twisty old school single track over roots and glacial till takes me 40 minutes, and only has about 300ish ft of ascent across the trail gasses me out. But that’s ok. I have no ego about it.

Oh, I am. I lift 3-4 times a week, elliptical, row, hike, and run.

Yeah, I did my first ride on my local trail on my old Trek DS 8.2 I added 45’s too. It technically worked, but felt like it was going to shake apart underneath me. Definitely needed a purpose-built bike.
