  • The main limitation I always had with Strava was limited activities. I know there are off road onewheelers who log their routes as ice skating, for example.

    It would also be nice to save points of interest that aren't linear routes. E.g. nice vantage points, businesses that accommodate group rides, public water/toilets/power.

    M'spaint.

  • I haven't encountered Brendan yet, but I look forward to yet another reality-bleed.

  • Chocobo

  • Forget the turducken. This year we're having brachiotyranotriceradilophovelociturducken.

  • Chocobo

  • You should hear the sound they make. Thumping bass that you feel as much as you hear it.

  • Soju and fried chicken is also an excellent option.

  • I wasn't allowed to watch "violent" movies as a kid, so I missed a lot of action classics like RoboCop, Rambo, etc. But there were a few exceptions we had on tape so they got watched a lot. Long Kiss Goodnight, T2, Alien,... I rewatched this one again a couple of years ago and was shocked at how violent it actually is. It finally clicked that my single Mum was making an exception for iconic kick-arse women.

  • I just got into Cyberpunk 2077, and too many parts of it are leaking into the real world. This could be a Delamain interaction.

  • Interesting, I seem to know "thank you" in a few languages, but not "please". I wonder what that indicates...

    Spanish: por favor, gracias

    French: sil vous plait, merci

    Indonesian: ?, terima kasih

    Mandarin: ?, xie xie

    Japanese: ?, arigato

    German: ?, danke

    Italian: ?, grazie

    Aussie: oi, cheers/ta (/s)

  • I haven't tried Bazzite yet, but I feel the same about the other ublue flavours.

    I'm the most productive I've ever been. Tweaking everything was fun for a few years, but now I just need a distro I can trust, that comes with the tools to do anything.

    I see rebases to Bazzite DX are available now. I might give that a go today.

  • My last place was directly over a karaoke bar. It was weird how the sound of drunk off key singing became a comforting sleep sound. I missed it when they shut down.

  • I'm guessing you're not in Melbourne then, but Red Sparrow is a fully vegan pizza restaurant with a few locations there. Very good, from what I've heard.

  • True, but it already felt like a cheap shot. The highland cows are another one.

  • The £ is a bit of a giveaway.

  • That's a good one.

    We used to screenshot desktops, set it as the wallpaper, and move all the desktop icons to a temporary folder.

    I've heard swapping the N and M keys is a good one because it doesn't register as unusual on a visual scan but messes up touch typists.

  • When I worked for a big IT consultant, the internal marketing department (why does that exist?) was tasked with promoting a new touch device. They had the genius idea of making stickers with "The mouse is dead" and a product link. Early one morning, they went around to every desk and put these stickers over the mouse lasers.

    It took about 30 minutes for everyone to figure out why every mouse in the building had stopped working. There was urgent work that had to be done. People were furious.

  • I've had similar experiences with high powered esk8, scooters, EUCs, etc. having been on several group rides with them. Nearly all owners of more capable devices will invest in safety gear and learn to ride responsibly because there's more to lose. Meanwhile there are basic ebike and scooter riders all over the place with no gear, doubling up, using phones...

    It's frustrating because local legislation is rightly responding to these rider issues, but when they do a crackdown operation they target the geared up riders who appear to be fast and scary.

  • It's actually easier to just use it every time. Deciding whether you need to is cognitive load that's better spent on other things.

  • Yes, and the all new TwinkedIn is already experiencing a surge in active users! Most of them are coming from Grindr for some reason, but it still counts!

  • One of the small blessings of social media has been more billionaires putting their unfiltered thoughts out there for everyone to see. It's become very obvious that they have no special skills or intelligence. If anything it's just a lack of imagination that allows them to indulge their fixation on collecting shiny things.
