I happily engage with others, sometimes through flashes of annoyance. But as soon as I find myself deleting the text in the comment box because it’s not worth it, I just block to prevent myself from being baited. And it works well for my mental health and overall experience of the platform.

Life is too short to deal with annoyance you don’t have to. Block liberally.

Lucky for you I’m a complete idiot, so I’ll take it 100% on faith.

BOOOOOOM SHPLORT

Why does this dicksicle look like Kim Jong Un all of a sudden?

I am blown away it runs at all. Amazing!

I quote Richard Feynman, Nobel Prize winning physicist:

There was a time when the newspapers said that only twelve men understood the theory of relativity. I do not believe there ever was such a time. There might have been a time when only one man did, (Einstein) because he was the only guy who caught on, before he wrote his paper. But after people read the paper a lot of people understood the theory of relativity in some way or other, certainly more than twelve. On the other hand, I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.

The difficulty really is psychological and exists in the perpetual torment that results from your saying to yourself, “But how can it be like that?” which is a reflection of uncontrolled but utterly vain desire to see it in terms of something familiar. But nature is not classical, dammit, the imagination of nature is far greater than the imagination of man.

Nobody understands and I think it’s fine to be suspicious of people who say they do.

I’m still ready though. Let’s ditch this veneer of civilization, all it does is opress.

Yeah that’s a different goalpost, but it’s still nuts.

Switching back to hybrid from full office time soon. Saves me so much time! Can’t wait.

Nice. I love crows.

Ugh I wish I knew as little about this as you. Genuinely jealous.

They asked for vehicle recommendations, not car recommendations.

Motorcycles don’t do this, but practicality is limited in a lot of scenarios. If it does fit your life (don’t use it for cargo, climate allows, etc.) then it can be much cheaper to maintain, insure and tax. I commute that way whenever weather allows and even modern motorcycles are available in mechanically simple models. If you can hold a spanner and follow an IKEA manual you can do most things yourself.

Weird language. The driver struck them, intentionally or not, with the vehicle.

A Honda Transalp from 1999. I still ride it to work. Throw in some oil, keep the battery fresh and she’ll never let you down. I’ve had the seat reupholstered and of course the usual wear items replaced (done most of that myself) and it just keeps going. I asked a mechanic to do the valve clearance check at 50.000km and he didn’t need to touch anything.

Fantastic machine, I’m gonna ride it until the wheels fall off.

Apply pissiprin!

Oh I just meant that track is huge, don’t go on a wild goose chase on my account
