high price of public transportation

lol, compared to gas, insurance, maintenance, parking, parking tickets, tow fees, replacing broken windows, and the cost of the vehicle? Really?

Dude, yes. I loved wandering down random streets and photographing all the artwork I found, which was basically everywhere.

We also have those in Michigan. When I moved here I was so happy to see them at most of the parks.

Mindstorms is actually retired now :( https://support.apple.com/en-us/108963

EV3 had a microsd slot and usb ports. You can boot Debian on it and connect it to WiFi, which made it pretty wide open. https://www.ev3dev.org/

The kit that replaced EV3 is also really great. I have both and mostly use the newer one because even though it can't boot Linux or connect to WiFi, it can be programmed from an iPad using a scratch interface, and the programs can be saved to the device and run without having to use any other device. This makes it really easy to quickly make a robot to perform a simple task like pressing a series of physical buttons in a timed loop, like for farming Xbox game currency or whatever.

This kind of thing is seriously the best that life gets. Being able to recognize those moments and appreciate them is one of the best skills somebody can obtain. Mindfulness meditation and stoic philosophy have helped me immensely in being able to appreciate these types of situations for the real value that they have.

What episode is the intro clip of him eating ice cream from?

Bought an ebike. I've wanted one for over 10 years, and finally the circumstances were right for me to justify it.

Remember what they say though: a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich. I'll be interested to hear a more thorough analysis of the charges. Sadly, this stuff is rarely as simple as it seems.

This is brilliant. Saved! Will definitely be sharing this.

It definitely seems abandoned. Here's an issue in the GH repo asking the same question https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/issues/2453

There are 1.5k forks, seems like somebody could carry the torch forward if they were interested. Could be a good way to build experience and reputation.

You're basically asking "do you check for red flags on everybody who is not raising red flags?"

In comment threads, I usually only check post history for people I am considering blocking. It makes sense to check post history if people are instigating. If that person is just starting shit everywhere then there's no reason to listen to them, but if they have a history of reasoned discussion then maybe what they say is worth considering. (I realize how ironic this is coming from somebody who has almost no comment history on a new account)
