The ICE restaurant car always cures the delay blues, at least for me :)

I have a 45 minute high speed train commute to a busy end-of-line station. I can sleep, read, work, or just stare out the window and think.

Same commute is probably twice as long by car during rush hour.

I started calling them “potentially fatal car crashes”. Even the “small” ones… us humans are delicate.

Dunno about NYC but I complain about traffic noise in the surveys that my city sends on occasion.

The pong clone, likely Tennis, is in one of OPs photos.

I still include Google results in my Searx.

Definitely miss the good ol’ days where it was optimized to give the best results. Same goes for Netflix recommendations back in the the DVD mailer days…

I’ve had simple, single-speed back-pedal braking bikes for more than twenty years as my primary transportation.

It’s not that I’m disinterested in other bikes but just don’t want to compromise on things you mentioned like maintainability.

I want a bike that will last for decades, even if it trades hands many times. I’ve bought a new bike in the past but my current daily ride is older than I am.

I live in a similar climate and use rain pants.

We have I-Root and K-Root in Europe, these are certainly used…

I used to work in Grasshopper for parametric models but now I mostly reach for OpenSCAD.

All the devs I know use SO…

So the tankie idiots join the bigger pool of non-tankie idiots. How will we ever survive…

In my experience, you actually need more people to maintain and extend existing software compared to the initial build out.

Usually because of scalability concerns, increasing complexity of the system and technical debt coming due.

I use:

• A projects folder with CAD files (sub-folders for bigger projects)
• A models folder with mesh exports and downloads
• A watched folder with gcode getting rsynced to my octoprint and auto-removed

Never found it useful to save configs from my slicer.

Already bailed when they blocked account sharing…

Really like the sky!

Extra scary when there’s a power outage and your screen isn’t backlit 😱

In the Netherlands we have quite good infrastructure for bikes, but e-bikes/scooters going >25kph really fuck up the safety.

I’m with OP, if you want to go that fast you should be in the road.

Commuting by train got me back into reading.
