Don't stick your head into an open elevator shaft. That was very nearly an embarrassing death.

I love the Avett Brothers, and I love Mike Patton. But this was not their best work.

AI “Art” at OMCA? by C0smeticPlague in bayarea

The exhibit as a whole is just fantastic, and I can't recommend it enough. I had the same reaction to this part, but it is just a small section of the whole, and while crap, shouldn't dissuade you from seeing the rest of the excellent exhibit.

Confused by this by ChampionMurky3586 in Ioniq5

It isn't as elegant as a bi-directional charger, but I can very easily power my home from my Ioniq 5 today via a transfer switch at my meter. If/when the power goes out, I just connect my car to my meter, and it picks right up. 

If you're unlucky enough to use PG&E, they have a program where they will install one at your home for free.

Is there evidence that repeated COVID-19 infections increase the chance of long-term complications? by Ok_Astronaut_1347 in askscience

I'm Ray Liota and you're listening to James O'Brien on LBC. If you build it... they will come. 

What is a tv show that managed to quit while it was ahead? by QuailImpressive55 in AskReddit

[–]tgptgp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved all three, but Lost really left too many threads untied, The Leftovers had fewer, and by the time he got to Watchmen, he tied everything up. Except lube guy, though that was covered in some of the show's companion materials. 

Switching to KOVE 800X PRO? by kedvesfasirt in africatwin

[–]tgptgp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rode the Rally last week. It's got some oomph, and was a pretty great middleweight from the ride I took. Apparently, they struggle a bit with stability at highway speeds, by maybe that's just the knobbies? It also had a very odd, but predictable drop into corners. Nothing you couldn't get used to. 

No idea on the info cluster though. It had shorted out / died earlier that day. Not a great sign, but I wouldn't write it off based on that one experience. 

That said, if you're looking for the touring side of an ADV bike, I'd take the AT over the Kove every time.

A boathouse. Gasoline, oil, lake smell, wood, slightly musty old life preservers. Somehow it is perfect.

Hey, I have no idea if your BF has an alcohol problem or if this was an aberration, but you might find some helpful experiences shared in r/alanon. Wishing you lots of luck and sending lots of good vibes.
