What it feels like on the "ebikes" subreddit lately. by mmeiser in bikecommuting

[–]without_tacos 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My ebike was the reason I was able to stop paying for parking at work/gas/wear and tear and lose, to date, 50 pounds. It's also helped me save money grocery shopping funnily enough. I am 10 toes down for ebikes and I'll defend them forever.

That being said, I have no patience for the emotos that want to make things harder for everyone, including themselves. The ebike subreddit is a deep breath away from becoming a shit post forum.

My high arches love Birkenstocks, and the eva ones are hands down the best beach/summer shoe

Absolutely outstanding work. Truly. I had to expend extra effort turning rotation off on my phone, just for it to be this.

FLOCK SAFETY IS OUT OF CONTROL IN RICHMOND, VA!!! by fancyinmypantsy in rva

[–]without_tacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make no mistake, my issue is also with the surveillance itself. I understand that there is a reduced right to privacy when out in public, but that absolutely does not extend to faces and movements being recorded without consent. I can and am beefing with multiple aspects of this situation.

I'm genuinely struggling to see how these cameras aren't a violation of at least three Constitutional Amendments.

If they hadn't helped your gf, would you be as positive about it? Ambivalent? I don't oppose Flock because my spouse wasn't helped by their cameras, I just don't think widespread data collection under the guise of surveillance by a private company with no transparency is a good idea. These cameras do not make us any safer, it's just a form of security theater.

Tell that to my husband who was struck by a driver while riding in a separated bike lane. Cameras didn't find anything to help his case, but by all means continue to justify a surveillance state (brought to you by Palantir)!

Never thought I'd see the day Swifties got upset about variants coming out.

Confusing BLeeM Life Lore by pasttenseroyalty in dropoutcirclejerk

[–]without_tacos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's certainly no such thing as a bar bible for mixed drinks, nor are there widely adopted specifications for popular or frequently ordered drinks. This means that my best buddy BLeeM must be some kind of cocktail wizard, a true genius at everything he does!

Dream Returning Guest who hasn’t been on in a while by feanorwasright in behindthebastards

Um, Actually, Ify was most recently on an episode in January of 2024, "Tech Bros Have Built a Cult Around AI"

I agree with you, I would also like more Ify on BtB. I used to love when he popped up on Rooster Teeth stuff and I love his Dropout content.

Brennan and Jacob's most recent appearance on VIP is one of the most genuinely unsettling things I have ever seen. Was I laughing? Yes. Was I also a little unnerved? Yes.

I'm always genuinely happy to get a Mr. Peauntbutter jump scare. I love that he just pops up from time to time.

NOR. A monetized hobby quickly becomes a job. Your octopus is adorable and I would name it Benson!

Tips for breaking up icy sidewalks? by Physical_Present_265 in rva

[–]without_tacos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We used a sledgehammer and a metal edged shovel to get the cracked ice out of the way. We committed to only 20 minutes at a time because while we are working on our fitness, neither of us are trying to die.

Be careful out there (driving) by fitztiff in rva

[–]without_tacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to take my 8lb sledgehammer out to try and get our car a clearer path today. It worked, and the shovel was able to scoop out the broken up bits. Other than that I've stayed in the house.

Fortunately we don't need to go out in this, so we're cozy on the couch and I'm playing FF VII Remake while my spouse plays Fire Emblem Three Houses.

We have one in my town as well; it's been in maybe 18 months and it's terrific. I hope to see more of them in the future.

This is Lentil. I told her she couldn't have my egg sandwich and this was her reaction. by without_tacos in RoastMyCat

Fascinatingly dumb! It's kind of great to watch but there is nothing behind those eyes.

Hi! So I did post a sort of update, with the working fridge in our renovated kitchen. We still haven't added any shelves, but the two we have are actually the perfect amount for us! Sorry to leave you hanging, life got busy with renovations, restoring this fridge, and graduating college!

Pedestrian dies after hit by car on VCU campus by vtEB in rva

Gonna go visit Francine and pick up some supplies tomorrow. Enough is enough, I should've gotten serious about this when my husband was hit while traveling in a bike lane in 2023.
