My family usually get an “okay I’m gonna go now. I’ll see you later” and that’s about it.

But by then they can tell I’ve had enough of people today and want to leave so they’re never surprised.

And if anyone wants to think I left because they arrived, so be it. I am not the shepherd of my family’s emotions.

I can’t just leave without saying anything though. Not unless they pissed me off.

I’ve got a pretty nice system.

1: PANIC

B- Go

You may notice there’s no conversation before the final step. This is because my anxiety doesn’t allow me much talking until I can decompress.

It’s worked so far.

“It was great seeing you again”

“but… You just got here five minutes ago”

“SO great…”

Which is insane, how do you pillage most of the planet looking for spices to sell people and then have the blandest food in the world…

Hey, I’ve seen this one.

A prehistoric virus is gonna infect someone with coldness until a plucky US-Marshall-turned-sherrif saves the day with his science-mined friends and colleagues.

But stabbing your neighbor isn’t exactly something most people are willing to do.

And any sort of attempt at organization leads to Alphabet Squad raids and whatever bullshit charges they feel like throwing at you after deciding you’re guilty of being a dirty commie/socialist/librul/not them.

Then the mod should have posted the comment as it’s own comment and pinned it to the top.

In fairness, my dogs are considered “property” and I value both of them far more than the human who put this on their vehicle.

I once got yelled at by a cop for walking across a nearly empty road in columbus Ohio.

The closest crosswalk was basically 1/4mile in either direction, because the building I was trying to enter is so large.

I was walking with a cane at the time. And no cars were anywhere close so a snail could have made it across with time to spare. It took some people close by stepping in and arguing for me before the Douchebag dropped it.

Im sure if I had looked my usual level of disheveled or had any other shade of skin I wouldn’t be so “lucky”

Repeat at next joint.

Nononono you don’t understand, it was a family member 8 years ago accepting t&cs for a website they spent 3 seconds on before backing to search results over too many ads.

Therefore by the fact that they’re related, they also are subject to the terms.

It’s not rocket appliances.

“The squeaky hinge gets the grease”

“The nail that sticks out farthest vets the hammer first”

These are metaphors to say “since Waymo is the one doing things like driverless taxis all over a city, they’re getting news stories and social media posts”

Yes, things like Tesla suck too. But tesla isn’t operating a “driverless taxi” service. Yet.

I’m sure that as something advertised as “driverless” that tesla’s owner gets pissy about it and probably feeds into negative press against them, but that doesn’t excuse what they do.

Oooh, nice interrobang.

At full sun in winter, I get enough power to charge a battery in about 4 hours.

With pedal assist, I get about 6-7 hours of cycling.

Adding in the trailer weight and terrain/clouds depending, the roughly 1200w of power are more than enough to keep me going during daylight.

That guy needs to use a better panel, and lighter trailer. I’ve seen people who do exactly what I’m wanting to do. Checking the comments, people are more or less saying the same thing.

I disagree with his assessment, but I do like his style, so thanks for introducing me to a new channel!

I’ve got some 300w solar panels, a couple electric bikes, and extra batteries I’ve been wanting to hook up on some kind of trailer to give myself effectively unlimited range.

I’m sure whoever finds my stash after the world ends will enjoy it since I’ll probably be dead.

My favorite part of control is how they go into juuuuuuust a little bit of explaining how things work in a science way, and sometimes you can almost feel how things are connected, and then it’s like “Yeah we have no fucking clue how any of this actually works, we’re just trying to keep it all from destroying the universe and keeping notes along the way.”

And then you meet the next thing that almost makes sense. Until it doesn’t.

I don’t remember if I ever finished AW but I do believe I have the disk around here somewhere. The control dlc definitely rekindled my interest.

I mean, what were they going to do, say “yes we keep slaves, next question please”?

Control was great

I love games that make me think outside the box

Having owned a couple low end printers, the ender 3 is my favorite budget option.

I’ve installed a couple upgrades, some of which I 3d printed on the printer itself, but my favorite ones are the borosilicate glass bed with a thermal pad to help spread out the heat quickly, and a dual z axis stepper motor.

If you’re not into tinkering, I’ve heard good things about Bambu, although I do not know much about them myself. Apparently they’re more user-friendly.

I enjoy working on my devices, but I would like something with more reliability than “recalibrate everything for every single print” sometimes.

It really is a hobby where spending just a little bit more will get you a ton of extra features and user experience.

“hey let’s release the same thing over and over again, charge almost full game price for it, and whenever something new comes out, just delete everything they’ve already paid for.”

“hey why aren’t people continuing to buy our game…”

Yeah. Great mystery, that one.

Bungie will never get another dollar from me.
