@Giles I probably shouldn’t have been allowed behind the wheel until I was 25 or so. I’m not going to disclose anything specific here but some of the things that I was responsible for as a teenager behind the wheel were not great.

@WhiskeySandwich it sucks man. When I have my kid on the bike I will take the sidewalk if I must to avoid it, very carefully and respectfully of pedestrians mind you. Fortunately we have a lot of dual use and dedicated infrastructure here that is separate from roadways.

not so much a rant (but it is a bit random, so putting it here) I was thinking how, In the distant future when we no longer have actual phones and the technology is just embedded directly under the skin(!) how all the old vintage denim with mobil phone fades in the pockets will probably be regarded as very cool and highly desired.

@Darth-fader Levi's will be known for their "vintage" Phone fades, while Wrangler will opt for the Skoal Chew tin fades

Not this guy. Call me a Luddite but if I make it long enough for transhumanistic things like embedding computers in our bodies to unfold there is no way in hell I would ever trust anyone with wiring into my brain, especially given what tech companies are demonstrating these days vis a vis mass surveillance.

Pete Hegseth watching me masturbate.
Is that grounds for dishonorable discharge?

@mclaincausey totally agree, I am the same and I pretty much despise having to even have a mobile phone - but I think its not too difficult to see where all this technology is heading.....
-
@Darth-fader yeah phones already are mass surveillance nodes, imagine not being able to rid yourself of it—ever.

@popvulture this. Driving and reading. It aint if its when

Two strands of market lights in our back yard were ripped out of the brick of our house where they were attached by a windstorm. Broken glass all over the deck, drain tile rocks, grass, and driveway. It is going to be an overwhelming set of chores to make the back yard remotely safe for the dog and us and I feel there will be inevitable issues. What a huge bummer. Shatterproof market lights next time (honestly they probably should all be at least for outdoors).
