A glass of beer from Lydian Stone Brewing on a table which also holds a motorcycle helmet in the background

I don't condone drinking and riding; you might spill the beer during a turn

I'm not on a motorcycle right now so that's a problem

I've been screaming for a while now that getting the US out of NATO has been Putin's goal all along

Trump days he's considering pulling the US out of NATO and I cannot scream loudly enough that that has been Putin's goal all along

The boot needs a neck and it doesn't care if it's the neck of someone that's licking it

You know what's fun to see in the system logs, with nothing indicating where the message is coming from? This:
SHOULD NOT BE HITTING THIS CODE
SHOULD NOT BE HITTING THIS CODE
SHOULD NOT BE HITTING THIS CODE
SHOULD NOT BE HITTING THIS CODE
SHOULD NOT BE HITTING THIS CODE
for 40 lines

This means that my tires hurt while my heel rubs all over the place begging for blisters

Why are European shoes so freaking narrow? I'm wearing motorcycle boots that are a full size up and my toes are still being squeezed uncomfortably.

You spend more time waiting to fill up your car with gas than I do waiting for my car to charge. Like, a lot more.

The problem with spending all day yesterday on my motorcycle is that I want to spend all day today on my motorcycle

I'm about 2/3 of the way through The Martian Contingency, the 4th of Mary Robinette Kowal's lady astronaut books, and my brain is trying really really hard to make it a prequel to Stranger In A Strange Land

"slow is fast" isn't earning any friends either

Almost done with the game and wishing I wasn't so that says something

Summary: recommends a $999 e-bike if you don't need to go over 30mph and a $3500 electric scooter of you do

There's a new article on electrek.com that might be helpful. Look for the "there's a cheaper answer than an electric car" headline

Fuck yeah. Love my Zero

Four books into Mary Robinette Kowal's Lady Astronaut series and I have to confess that I'm heartily sick of the phrase "work the problem".

So she hates the 2nd Amendment

Then there's the back story. "We did this thing help the environment and it ruined it! And we did this thing to bring world peace and it destroyed us!" Maybe they were going for ironic tragedy, but I've been around capitalism to know what billionaire propaganda looks like. Still loving the game

I'm noticing some gameplay changes that I chalk up to "this is what we think gamers expect these days." More handholding, like suggestions about what to do next, and easier tools to help you find all the various power-ups and such. Not sure how I feel about that

Playing Metroid Prime 4. It feels like all the devs were familiar with the games and knew what to do, but one manager insisted "open world!" and "be like Breath Of The Wild!" and so the devs reluctantly shoehorned in the absolute minimum to meet that mandate. Glad they didn't try harder; loving it

@merriam-webster.com needs to help out with the definition of "imminent"

*admiring

If I had a nickel for every time I came out of a store and someone was anyone my electric motorcycle I wouldn't be rich, but I could get a small coffee at McDonald's at least

It's ruining the scene for me

And that you could easily climb a ladder with only one hand in that reduced gravity

Reading and enjoying "The Relentless Moon", but in a supposedly dramatic scene, the author seems to have forgotten that falling five stories isn't really a big deal when you're on the moon. You'll hit the ground at approximately the same speed you will if you drop out of a second story window.

Because music is fun

Tax the players. They earned the money

But the owners don't?
