No.

Why even type this out?

Do you just like arguing stupid points for fun even when you know yourself that you are wrong?

Have you never seen an automotive touchscreen before?

Even within one model/brand there are a ton of panes, and layouts. And even when you choose one layout, which apps are open changes the location and size of the buttons. Now add into that multiple brands, models, layout, and years… And your comment gets more worthless at every step.

Beyond that. The screen doesn’t use haptic feedback to tell you where your fingers are so that the parts of your brain that evolved to handle that kind of context can use it without your fucking eyes. ‘Oh I touched the round thing, I know there are 4 rectangles next to this’ is a built-in feedback loop that a touchscreen does not provide at this time.

Do you have problems with object permanence in everyday life? or just in your car?

sharing their faith respectfully

How can you respectfully tell someone that they will burn for all eternity for not following the same book you do?

With consent, and with cells from someone I know/love - Sure!

Grown from my own cells? Fuck yes.

I also have severe malabsorption and can’t process most veg at all. I have been told hundreds of times that I am lying, and that I don’t need to eat meat. To some of these people it is better for us to suffer than to eat meat, while they claim to subscribe to a philosophy of reducing suffering.

Despite having possibly one of the least popular cuisines in all of the earth

Are you fucking high? Not that there is anything wrong with being high, but this take is psychedelic levels of weird.

Ducati.ms will be your best friend.

Yeah, I’m a little bit too much into motorcycle forums…

And motorcycles!

Shameless plug for the triumph bobber forum and triumphrat if you are into those bikes.

Lol. Dig it!

Fair enough.

Do you know the meme with the knucklehead on the left at the bottom of the bell-curve, the smashed brain moron at the top, and the sage at the right?

With this comment you are very close to coming off as the smashed brain moron at the top of the curve.

Everyone has preferences, but your preferences do not map to you being superior in any way. And just as importantly - you are also a beginner to some people. It would serve you well to remember that.

I have the seat attached unit as well. Maybe next year I’ll work out a way to budget in the full deal.

It sure does sound good.

This sounds like heaven to me. Pure. Heaven.

Fair enough. Do they still have bike lanes where the car lane to the left has to cross the bike lane to turn right? That was my biggest ‘WTF’ factor.

I made the mistake of seeing bike lanes and assuming renting an electric would be a good way to get around.

Boston bike lanes are suggestions, not enforced. And they often run in between two car lanes.

I’m a pretty risk-taking dude. motorcycles, adventure/rally cars, ‘survival’ camping, you name it. But I will NEVER ride a bicycle in Boston again.

What a terrifying experience.

Hey me. Nice to see me out in the wild.

I chucked most of my computer stuff, but kept a laptop for work, and a somewhat aging desktop to game on rainy nights, and moved to a piece of forest far from others.

When we first got out here there wasn’t even enough space to park our truck. I cleared enough Forest to park our travel trailer and live in while we built a tiny 12 ftx30 ft house.

Now I spend my mornings feeding birds and doing minimal tending on a very wild (by design) garden.

Strongly suggest others who can do so to give it a try.

Especially people who are in any type of job where systems, thinking and infrastructure was part of your daily thought process.

Life out here is very hard at first as we set up the infrastructure but everyday it gets a little bit easier and eventually the workload should be smaller here than it is at a normal job. That’s when I’ll quit my normal job.
