It’s incredible to think they don’t mind given that people say how good dog’s sense of smell (and taste?) is.

I’m always bothered by this meme template. My follow up tile would be the woman leaving as he’s talking like she’s a menu item.

Edit: I know it’s a joke and a meme but still

I hope Apple haters realise they sound just as annoying as die hard Apple fans.

I taught guitar at the height of guitar hero. I just taught kids how to play songs they liked. If they like playing they’ll be curious enough to want to learn theory, which some did.

I live a short bike ride away from the shops. I have some side bags for the ebike I built so lugging groceries isn’t too much of an issue.

The biggest shift is learning you wouldn’t shop the same way you do with a car. With a car you go to a big supermarket and load up a trolley. Spend over a hundred for a week’s worth and drive home. With a bike you kinda just buy as needed for the next couple days. You do more trips throughout the week which is kinda nice too. Forces you to get out of the house more. Benefit I realised when doing this was vegetables were less likely to just die out in the fridge since I bought as needed. Which meant I spent a little less overall.

It’s hard to have a baby without a car. It’s for sleep, for nappy changing, your closet and your pantry. Those first few years especially. If you need one even for a few years it’s totally understandable.

The idea is the concentration of lithium production can be more controlled (and recycled?) as opposed to leaving gas guzzlers out on the road. Plus the distribution of gas to gas stations and such.

As much as I want an EV. My country is just not set up for a smooth transition to EV yet. Until then it’s best to just not give the auto industry more sales and run what you have until you’re realistically ready.

Thank you for your service

I tell people yes do get an EV for your next car. But also use this chance to really think about if you need the car at all. Or does every adult in the household need a car each. Our city is trash for everyone having to own a car.

Best is to run your car to the ground. Then get an EV if you must own a car.

Exactly. Assuming people interested in this are guys. Dating apps are a women’s market and that’s just facts. Because of such their profile can be completely trash and they’ll get matches.

For guys you need to put the work in. I met my wife on tinder (ages ago before paid tier even was introduced). It was after a lot of trial and error on the app.

Your profile needs to show who you are in the best light, and really importantly to show you’re not dangerous

Honestly like no amount of money will change the results if your dating profile is shit.

If you’re a whale willing to spend 500 on tinder, spend it on marketing yourself. New photos, personal trainer, hobbies and seriously important - new clothes that fit you.

Lot of single people I meet always say “I don’t want to change who I am”. Changing the way you look and feel isn’t changing who you are. Unless you’re actually as shallow as your outfit. It’s not lame to see what the trends are and even ask a salesperson of the opposite sex for advice. Putting yourself out there is all aspects of such.

Present your best self. Because that’s all a person swiping can judge you on. That 5 seconds.

Love the strategy. Spend the next few years building up steam os and supporting Linux gaming. While developers have steam deck as a standard to spec to. When it’s time the steam deck 2 will be ready both in software and hardware.
