I drank once when I was 17 but didn’t really care for it (rootbeer and vodka, not great, not terrible).

Fair point, even with guns there’s spall that can get you if the bullets hit something hard, but the fact that we don’t use this kind of design kinda highlights that it’s not worth the trade off of visibility vs protection.

Good luck taking a round to the head even with this thing on.

A Debian based distro is probably your best bet (Mint is my favorite, but there’s a few options including Ubuntu and of course Debian itself).

Hasselback^2

I’m struggling to decide between hasselback, mashed, potato cakes, and scalloped.

To make matters worse, I have discovered the existence of bloomin potatoes and pommes anna.

I was going to say hasselback but now I might change my answer.

Just what nobody wanted!

I’m not saying it would be practical in your case, but you could definitely carry 6 weeks of groceries on a cargo bike (electric would be better given the load though).

Hell, you might even be able to do that on a regular bike. I can fit at least 60 liters of groceries into my Portola (a compact folding e-bike), and that isn’t even including the top rear cargo rack. In an actual mid-sized cargo bike, you could probably fit like 2+ months of groceries.

If you don’t have a safe path to get there though, it doesn’t really matter how much you can fit onto any bike. In your case, you’d need a motorcycle.

4 miles is nothing on a bike, 30 isn’t too crazy either. I think people misunderstand just how far you can travel on a bicycle. Having the infrastructure to do it is another matter though, there’s some super dangerous country roads where it’s 50+mph with no shoulders.

Lots of weight and heart disease I bet.

On a related note, I rode my bike to work today and it was great.

While I’m here, I guess I should plug !micromobility@lemmy.world

Gross.

I heard about this but remain deeply skeptical about whether it would actually work: Most of the shit people claim “AI” can do seems to be bullshit.

What the fuck? This is ridiculous and it won’t actually solve anything at all.

There are 100% paid trolls out to cause as much disruption as possible, this has been repeatedly and reliably documented. This is a fact, not conspiracy.

Is every single asshole you meet a paid troll? No, that’s highly unlikely, but it is absolutely true that there are campaigns run by governments and corporations to astroturf all sorts of shit from elections to what products you buy.

My best guess is that they’re confused and angry and, given no healthy alternatives, they vent their corrupted spleens all over the Internet.

A lot of them are probably also actually shitbags with an agenda (like people who work at troll farms) and a lot of them are just mentally ill (like people who hang out in troll farm echo chambers).

If that’s all you want, making something that just clips onto your existing glasses might be pretty viable.

I don’t think that would work particularly well with AR: People get sick if movement isn’t synced up properly, not having any sort of cameras or sensors at all would exacerbate that problem.

If you are talking about a simple HUD, then that might be a lot more viable, but for AR and the tech we currently have, some sort of camera or sensor array is kind of a requirement practically speaking.
