“hmm, I’m bored. Oh look here’s some people enjoying a small laugh. Imma shit on the fun. How DARE they enjoy a joke I personally don’t like. The FOOLS! THE ABSOLUTE MORONS! I simply MUST tell people their frivolity is absurd.”

Bruh you can tell us you have superpowers all you want, we have science telling us otherwise.

My gender-non-specific human, why do you insist on calling every single person here shitty for calling out BS reddit tactics?

Are you in love with their CEO or something? It’s a little weird.

I got banned from about 15 subreddits I never even knew existed once by calling out a transphobic dogwhistle, and when I inquired about the bans, the mods insinuated I was a child molester and neo-nazi.

Reddit mods don’t need to follow any sort of logic.

And confidently asserting someone is a dick because they got banned from a subreddit is hilarious, and should probably prompt some self-reflection.

I would have said “thanks for confirming with tons of long term ecological damage what you could have done in your head in 3 minutes, or checked on the built in calculator of whatever device you’re using and been done in less time than it took me to write this message that, while petty, I feel is necessary to mock the use of chatgpt.”

I uh… Don’t get along with dumb neighbors.

bone and muscle density is still different, and distributed differently

I think people who say things like this don’t actually know any post- or even mid-transition people.

Sitting in whichever space I can fit it, usually tangled up with my wife’s bike.

Space isn’t abundant where we are and they’re bulky.

But hey, weather is off-and-on good enough to ride, so we get to use them plenty.

The prosecution used the presence of the first aid kit they carried

Insane bullshit.

I have a kit with me every day of my life, and I’ve had to refill it many times due to using it on others.

It would be pure coincidence that I happen to be carrying a first aid kit on any given day, and if I’m going to a peaceful protest I’m bringing my trauma kit because the entire fucking world knows how cops treat protesters.

That is crazy to me.

I hate driving in general, but will typically be okay with nearly doubling my travel time (up to like an hour) if it means I am in constant motion. So I’ll happily take small side streets and drive two small towns over and avoid a highway on the off chance that there’s a traffic jam. Some highways are almost guaranteed to be at a standstill at certain times anyway, but surprise stoppages always seems like a given when my wife and I travel more than a few hours from home.

It doesn’t seem like that’s an option to drive on non-highways, from the translation post, sadly. Fingers crossed they get the public transit sorted next year, and improve it for 2029. That sounds like a bad time for everyone.

Knowing nothing about these specific setups, but knowing how charging lithium ion and LiFePO4 batteries work and my own experience with charging at different rates, yes.

It definitely reduces the battery life to jam that much current in and out of it, the higher rate you charge, the less accurately you’ll get to 100% charge, and you don’t want to overcharge or repeatedly undercharge it. This will more rapidly degrade the battery.

That said, with battery prices plummeting, and presumably only doing this when you absolutely NEED the charge ASAP, it might be worth it to have the ability to charge that fast.

Plus it would make for some sick EV racing, when you have set battery sizes and 10-30 second pit stops for more power being part of the race.

And the United States government, whose nuclear launch systems for decades had a default “0000000” password on systems so old they figured nobody would know how to hack them in person anymore, and they’re incompatible with the internet.

It’s disturbing to me that my high school hobby of fixing and operating old computers meant I could have launched nukes.

As someone who has access to about 3kw of solar panels, and wants to cut down on my electricity bill, where did you manage to get batteries so cheap? I’ve been burned on 18650s from supposedly reliable retailers before…

Why do that and risk actually losing, when you can go after the small guy and send a message to the plebs?

My hometown has a kenworth plant

Kenworth has a bad habit of putting huge parking lots for their truck everywhere they can, and then leaving them unattended for months on end.

Kenworth learned the hard way that they need to keep better control over where they leave their shit, otherwise people who have a reason to hate them (which is a lot of people around there) might fuck with their trucks and cause millions in damages.

And cheap to boot. Super duper simple. Honestly you could make your own with a set of mini pliers and a stiff paper clip.

It’s just two points to hold either side of the stem while you rotate it out.

I have a few at any given time since I work on bicycles in my spare time, and have passed out a few at protests.

Everybody gangsta till the snow starts speaking Finnish.

Because not enough people are heading out in the dead of night with dark nondescript clothing, a large mask, some small tools, and smashing the ever-loving fuck out of the very unprotected cameras.

Someone around my area has been going out and riding a generic dark colored mountain bike and destroying some of the cameras in the area. Cops sitting to watch them kind of defeats the purpose of them and they’re largely left alone, and if they have hidden cameras to watch them, they aren’t capturing enough info to lead to an arrest.

I am in no way advocating that people bring a hacksaw and/or cordless sawzall to pull the poles down, crack open the solar panel housing, and cannibalize the battery and solar panel to reuse with mesh radios to help resist illegal occupations and state-led domestic terrorism.

Thanks!

False start! 3rd from left is over the line, I demand a rematch!
