As a certified electrician, this logic also works the other way. I wire things. I don’t know why your PC won’t boot. Yes your computer uses electricity, but this is not my professional forté.

My dad likes to tinker with stuff, and he’s a pretty mechanically inclined guy.

He pulled an old shitty lawnmower out of a scrap metal bin, and made a motorized bar stool. The bloody thing rips across his shop at like 20km/h!

I don’t know where I was going with that, but scrap metal bins are a gold mine for free shit to tinker with. Good luck brother

A heat gun to expand the metal and a rubber mallet or block of wood with a hammer to try and tap the handle would be my least destructive suggestion. You could try and use a pry bar, but you’ll run the risk of cracking a tile.

I think I’d give my former suggestion a solid shot before trying anything that could cause damage.

Sounds like things going right is karmic justice for doing your best to support the ones you care for. Good on you mate. Hope all is well.

That’s funny, it’s the opposite for me. Got into Satisfactory, loved it. Buddy bought me factorio, and now Satisfactory seems like an extremely feature-neutered version of Factorio.

It’ll generally default to C drive on Windows. Most of the time, you’d click “browse” and select another drive.

It’s stupid, but it suggests buying a cyber truck is its own form of birth control.

We have our own political brain rot here. We may not be the US, but some of our politicians look down south to the red states and think that they have some pretty good ideas.

I respect it. Maybe we all need to take more psychedelics and scream nonsense into the void.

If something is against “national interest” and your president is trying to become an autocrat, that means they can essentially pick and choose what national interest is. This should be setting off alarm bells in EVERYONE’S head as an obvious grab for power.

I’m not american, so I don’t have direct skin in the game, but everyone on both sides of the political spectrum who don’t self identify as fascist should be against this.

If you don’t interpret this as something extremely dangerous, you need to have a sit down and really think about the implications.

It really was weirdly good.

… And there’s no place like home

That first paragraph is poetic

Is Michelle Obama’s penis in there?

I’ll bite. What’s the proof?

Agree. Fuck cars ≠ pro bike.

I would absolutely kill for better bike infrastructure in my area as well. Thankfully, we have a pretty progressive local council that is pushing for more bike infrastructure, but it’s a long process, and as of now, pretty dangerous to be riding a bike next to a main road.

Stay safe out there friend.

Show me on the doll where the big truck touched you

I’m really confused as to why you think people need to justify owning a truck. Do I, or anyone, owe you or anyone else an explanation on why we have a certain type of vehicle?

My use case is valid, simply because I deem it so.

Others use cases are valid, simply because they deem it so.

It’s really that simple.
