I mean I guess technically racing motorcycles. However it’s more of a circumstance thing, getting back into it would take, pretty easily, almost $10k. So I’m getting into MTB and BMX instead now. I absolutely will be back into it the second I’m able to though, up until very recently, I’d spent more years on a motorcycle than off of one. Age 4 to probably 23 I raced. 0-4 and 23-35 I haven’t. Miss it dearly every day, but I’m still very involved in it when I can watch it in-person.
3·21 days agoThen yeah, that’s at least pretty weird. Is it like…HS logos on it, clearly a high school uniform? Or is it like…work casual clothes that just also happen to meet uniform requirements?
I guess it depends on the uniform. Plental of people wear college sports jerseys or other stuff displaying their Alma mater, but I guess thay isn’t strictly a “uniform”. If you’re wearing the designated, every day uniform if a high school or something as an adult well past the age, then I wonder what the motives for it are.
Concerning shock would be that you find it hard to let go; the current causes muscles to contract and your hand to close, and you actively have to make yourself let go. Appliances and household voltage can do so, but there is no mistaking it when it happens, and it’s not something you just brush off, especially if it happens repeatedly. And then why would you be the only one experiencing it?
I’d be having people recreate your conditions; if you open it early, length of time, close time proximity to when it occurs. What would you think the cause is, if not something similar to faulty appliance?
I don’t think that’s biology. Old CRT style TVs used to emit a really high pitch frequency, and from the ground floor, I could hear if the basement TV was on. With laptops, if it’s an older one or you have a bad power supply, you may be smelling ozone and that’d your queue, or if your room is small with little to no circulation, you may just be sensitive to the heat coming off it. As for the microwave, it may be faulty or ungrounded. If you were getting shocked by a running microwave, I do not think it would be like a static shock where you just get a little crack. They don’t deal with low power or voltage, it would be a concerning shock that you receive.
Is it just the slight vibration-type shock? I had a laundry dryer with a bad fuse be “live” one time, where if you touched it, you’d be getting shocked, but it was low voltage. But with the regular machine vibration and due to it not being a really powerful shock, it was hard to notice, plus like a microwave, when you pop the door, it largely turns off. The machine vibration coupled with the low power shock, I legitimately didn’t know it was shocking me for like…a few weeks. Because it was such a quick interaction with the machine, if you even touched it while it was on in the first place, it’d be hard to notice.
Without incarceration? I don’t think there is a massive anti-incarcerarion argument in the US, to a point. With the current iteration, sure, but other countries do incarceration correctly, where rehabilitation is the focus. But I don’t think there is an appropriate option for those crimes (jaywalking withheld lol) that isn’t some kind of separation from “polite society”. Obviously grey areas exist in some cases; self-defence, crimes of passion, etc where there are mitigating details, but just in general, I wouldn’t have any good options for those cut and dry convicted criminals that isn’t incarceration of some form. I guess the option would be round the clock services and supervision for redirection and rehabilitation? But that has a whole host of problems and you’d likely need a dozen or so people per convict? As well as housing facilities, and specialized workers for therapy/education, etc, and then it looks a lot like prison, just without the physical walls at that point.
I would agree the US version would not be helpful though, aside from attempting to give society some kind of satisfaction of “justice served”.
It’s crazy that the company won’t allow this. If it doesn’t effect your work, then the only reason to not approve it seems to be because the health and care for your wife should come second to the company. That’s pretty shit and it sucks that was a choice you had to make.
I did “haha” up until somewhat recently. I started using lol sarcastically, and it quickly bled over into the haha usage. I can’t break the habit either…
Slow down just a little there
2·1 month agoMore like noted to check out further, but it looks promising! Big question is functionality with Android Auto, which if it’s just a website, would be unlikely, but still good to have for home use! It has new releases I’d be looking for on it already too, one album literally came out yesterday and it’s on there.
I’ll be honest, it could be recorded through a tin can and I probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference lol. As long as it shows me new songs every now and then, and gives me varied radio playlists, I’m happy.
Interesting. I’m fine if I gotta scroll a bit, I usually set it up before I leave. I’ll give it a look!
I do as well, and that’ll be the hardest thing to lose, if I can’t find a good equivalent. Cause I have to swap back and forth from Android Auto to the BT player otherwise, and that suuuuuucks.
I’ve heard of it, it’s on my list. My only real qualm is that I want a good “radio”. I don’t do play lists, I just hit Supermix on YT and let it play through. Spotify tried to give me the “average” of all my liked songs, so I’d end up with a Playlist that repeated the same 50 songs or so. YT Music seemed to give me varied music at a similar ratio of my liked genres, which was exactly what I wanted.
Does it have a radio function similar to that?
What’s the free music streaming service you use that has no ads? I’d like to try it, I’m obviously in the market.
Lmao buddy resorts to this and then blocks me. What a small human.
To give a little more nuanced answer, I don’t think these are really mutually separate at this moment. They may not always be allies in the future but I think given current mechanisms, they’re pretty intertwined with each other and will be for the foreseeable future.
