The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

How To Live A Good Life #oldknees

The algo has decided that I like cars, and I do like some cars, but weird old ones that look like frogs or loaves of bread and have 2-stroke motors.

But the algo is showing me people's 1998 BMW, their Integra, or their Ferrari. These are detestable, odious, and worse of all, boring, to me

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

*slopping around in the mud and seeing other people (losers) also slopping around in the mud*

"Ok, that's disgusting. My mud slopping is nothing like that."

For a while in the '90s, every cartoon character looked like this

I'm the only person in the office with a bike, so there's never been a policy. If they start complaining, i'll put it in my office

i will not avoid it. i will just weed

I see the runoff from the huge piles of goat and horse manure and i see the algal blooms they cause in the puddles nearby, and i think, "what if that was benefiting my vegetables?"

If fertilizer costs are going wild, maybe i should reconsider taking up the creepy guy by the river on his offer to let me have a bunch of the manure from his goat farm

I don't know what you're trying to tell me with that link

I have a u-lock for it. I'll skip the alarm.

It's a Nishiki mixte, not Bianchi Advantage

How is there a new villain on this website every single day? You people are crazy.

I spent $20 on some custom-machined adapters I used for putting a 28-spoke Sturmey Archer hub into the 36-spoke rear wheel. The biggest expense on this bike was a $40 extended handlebar stem.

You have to realize that spending $580 upgrading a bike is ridiculous, especially a bike I got for free. I put $10 brake pads on it. The rims are stock. The tubes cost $5. The tires came with the bike. I spent $15 replacing the traditional bottom bracket with a sealed bottom bracket cartridge

I'm not going to do any of those things other than the axle maintenance and bottom bracket maintenance, and I do that myself, with my own two hands, so it costs me like $10 for the bearings total.

The bus station in my city has a bike lockup, but I refuse to use it because you have to pay a monthly subscription. The other bus stations around here have bike lockers that you pay per use. I'm not going to pay for a whole month just to lock my bike up 3 or 4 times

You know me. Have I been to Florida or outside the US lately?

Sure! Here's me using one of the ones I always carry to keep my bike secure in the bike stall on the metro last week, for reference

Excellent color scheme at this motel

Have you tried tarp straps? I use them and they don't seem to lose their elasticity like bungees. Plus some of them have molded holes that let you adjust the size

It is!

There used to be a bikeshare program at work through Metro, but it was cancelled a couple years ago. I wouldn't have been willing to pay $1.75 to rent a bike just for getting around campus though anyway. I might have used it if i needed to run an errand off campus

Which makes the most sense?

Hmmm what

I had what seems to me like a brilliant idea, and took my spare bike (one of my spare bikes) to the office today and left it there as my office bike. Now I'll never be at work without a bike, and I have one less bike cluttering up my house.

Think of it this way: using ChatGPT is like employing a scheming eunuch whose obsequious lies will make your life difficult and embarrassing.

I noticed a property I inquired about 3 months ago still hasn't been rented and I just sent them a devastating mathematical argument for accepting my lower rent offer that they really can't refuse if they have a brain. Wish me luck.

thank you!!
