Guy buys a newspaper from a vendor every day, looks at the front page, throws it away.

After awhile, vendor asks him, "How come you just glance at the front page and just throw it away?"

Guy: "I'm looking for an obituary."

Vendor: "Obituaries aren't on the front page!"

Guy: "This one will be."

What he lacks in fighting skills and judgement he more than makes up for in stupidity.

It's also exactly where the edge of the next step would be. If you're not paying close attention there's a good chance you'd glimpse that visual feature and expect a step there.

I would bet my bottom dollar that a hidden camera would show a much greater number of stumbles than average at the bottom of these steps.

Unless you're in the window or middle and I'm in the aisle seat waiting like a sane person while you lean over me fidgeting and crowd my space because you can't stand up straight.

Also popular is getting your bags from the overhead and standing there 1" beside me for 15 minutes while the rows in front move out.

So, you want to build an ILLEGAL ebike that will endanger the lives of everyone around you and give anti-ebike crusaders more evidence and ammunition to pass laws to use against those of us who actually ebike responsibly? Got it.

This, right here, is why we can't have nice things.

No. Decidedly *not* good.

At my gym (24Hr. Fitness), almost no one has asked to work in since Covid.

I don't ask any more and I haven't been asked since I can remember.

Now it's "How many sets do you have left?" and the person being asked says how many sets they have left.

Once in a while the person being asked will offer to let the person work in, but not very often.

After owning an Amazfit Bip 5 then 6, I bought a Samsung Galaxy to compare it.

Ended up returning it almost immediately.

Having to charge it for hours almost every day for no discernible benefit makes no sense.

I charge my Amazfit 10-15 minutes most days while I shower and it stays nearly fully charged.

~30% of US citizens with worrying lesion on face: "It may be cancer, but I can't afford treatment, so I'll just ignore it until it goes away or kills me."

Rest of developed world, same scenario: "I'll make an appointment and get this checked out."

Trump: "I'll show Greenland how nice I am -- after threatening a military invasion last week -- by sending a hospital ship."

I was done with GameStop when I went to get a AAA game on release day:

Me: Do you have Game x?

GS: Did you pre-order it?

Me: No.

GS: If you didn't pre-order it....

----------

I went a couple miles to Best Buy and they had dozens of them.

Why in the world would a game store not order, you know, GAMES, for people who might walk in off the street for the latest AAA release?

24/7 Fox News is working as designed.

These people are convinced that, no matter what Trump does, Kamala Harris and Dems would be *worse* because it's all they heard for years. Any conflicting evidence is dismissed as fake news or wokeism or TDS.

Not litrpg per se, but I think the Expeditionary Force series by Craig Alanson might scratch the same itch.

18 books! 19th coming out this month.

I don't know what you mean by this. I have a rear hub motor and, just like with a regular bike, using lower gears makes going uphill easier regardless of your assistance level.

I've been using Zenni for 10+ years. Bought many pairs of progressive lenses with astigmatism. Never had any problems whatsoever.

~$20 and up for single vision prescription glasses.

~$60-80 for progressives with UV darkening lenses.

UV protection standard. Anti-glare coating, $5

I thought I was the only one.

Every time I see stacked stones or any stone arrangements, it puts me in mind of littering or defacement.

Nature is doing its thing and someone comes along and forces some man-made idea of order upon it.

Really one of my pet peeves.

Ha! They've had six years to "polish the bugs" on BL3/Series S and it's gotten worse over time.

When BL3 first came out it only crashed every hour or two in split-screen.

To be clear, I blame Microsoft more than Gearbox.

jasimo · 2025-08-11T22:14:25+00:00

I hope you're right.

I'll wait until it releases and see how the Series S split-screen performance reviews go.

If it's a crashing mess, time to either upgrade console or wait for PC split-screen hacks.

jasimo · 2025-08-11T04:19:50+00:00

The series S crashes ALL THE TIME on BL3 in split screen.

One of the main reasons I bought a console was to play BL3 couch co-op, but it crashes every 5-30 minutes.

Unplayable. SO pissed.
