The brewery I hang out at sells the onewheels - they're an authorized dealer. The brewer and co-owners all have XR's which they ride all around town. It sounds great, they use them often.....

Except when you talk to them about their injuries... One guy fell and broke his wrist once, another guy broke and cracked a rib, the brewer broke his shoulder one time, then his wrist another time.

Yet they still ride them!!

I got a pint - rode it a few times until I few off once and haven't ridden it since. I'm looking forward to selling it soon enough.

Yeah, I certainly won't use any product associated with that muskrat.

I mean they used all the iron to make the hull, you think they had any leftover to make a railing around the whole damn ship? gtfoh

I've been so tempted to make and sell custom flags printed with pro-Biden/LGBTQ themes, then have pro-trump messaging printed on top using a water-soluble ink so that these idiots would hang the flags proudly like they always do........only to have the flags change completely the first time it rains hahaha. I'd love to see them frantically trying to pull down a flag in a rainstorm 😂

Few years older than you, decided not to have children after considering our healthcare, the climate, politics, etc. Why would I ever bring a child into this hell?

The wheels of justice grind slow but they grind eternal.

Jack smith and others have watched the games played by Chump's lawyers over the years. They are crafting new charges based on how they anticipate the clown will play his cards (which lets be real, he never plays a new card aside from deny and deflect)

Someone else recently explained it best: It's elderly abuse.

The entourage encircling these elderly congressional leaders are profiting greatly. As soon as these senators retire, these leeches lose nearly everything.

That's what we need to do more often - mock these chuckfucks. Don't get angry/irritated because that's what they want, just point and laugh at them.

McDonald's plans to transition away from self-serve soda fountains in US by 2032 in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] cassetti@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

Oh I'm not disagreeing with you that it's a bullshit reason - but I can bet that some penny pincher accountant working at McDonalds proved the company could save $X million (single digit lol) if they did this change. Never forget how a dude working for American Airlines in the 1980's figured out that removing one olive from each salad in first class would save over $40k per year.

The more tactile, the better I say. The clickity clack is just an added bonus.

[Shower Thought] I was never "good" at Linux CLI, ChatGPT has helped tremendously (kbin.social)

I'll be honest, I've always tinkered with ubuntu and even older versions of linux (Anyone remember Mandrake? Yeah I'm old lol), I had even built my own HTPC at one point many many years ago.

But I always encountered problems that frustrated me forcing me to eventually abandon the OS in favor of something new. For example, installing programs or drivers that weren't in the software manager GUI, checking USB and device connections, etc.

I was a windows guy and I hate to admit it. It was just "easier" so I usually took the path of least resistance to getting things working efficiently for my productivity needs.

But ChatGPT has really unlocked things for my novice self.

Everything from simple questions to fun ones. Like I had an SD card showing as empty, but I thought it had been formatted, so I asked ChatGPT how to recover lost data on the card, and it walked me through every step - I recovered a ton of data off that card.

I just installed Linux Mint on an older Lenovo laptop and it's awesome to have a fast portable laptop again.

I'm excited to dual-boot my older HP Envy AIO computer in the near future, windows 10 has become too buggy for my tastes lately.

I have a set of Bose QuietComfort earbuds I wear daily for workouts. I finally killed them and in the market for something new. I'm looking for higher end name-brand earbuds which would work for my ex (kbin.social)

I have a set of Bose QuietComfort earbuds I wear daily for workouts. I finally killed them and in the market for something new. I'm looking for higher end name-brand earbuds which would work for my exercising needs (bicycle rides, and gym workouts). ANC is necessary (but pretty common on all the top brands/TWS earbuds these days).

I was thinking about the Bose QC2 as it would be the logical upgrade, but I've heard mix reviews about them and I can't figure out if it was just a bad batch of earbuds or if it's a poorly designed product.

I guess the Sony XM4's would be a logical alternative but I don't know how comfortable they are for exercising

Edit - Android user, so apple airpods aren't an ideal option

Seeking assistance in finding a song... (kbin.social)

A few weeks ago, while my wife was enjoying some dance music in our backyard using a Bluetooth speaker and playing random "summer" playlists on Spotify, As I walked down to say hi, I overheard a dance/trance track that had an incredibly sensual and euphoric vibe where a woman was breathlessly climaxing in an orgasmic way, blending with a captivating dance/trance beat in the background.

Regrettably, I only caught the last 20 seconds of the song before I managed to grab the phone and glimpse what appeared to be Armin Van Buuren listed as one of the artists. Unfortunately, I didn't save a screenshot or note the song's title.

The song was truly enticing, and I believe my wife would enjoy it on other occasions as well (if you catch my drift, lol). However, she was too far from the speaker and didn't hear that specific song. Therefore, I'm on a mission to locate it once again, but my efforts have been in vain so far.

So, I'm reaching out to see if anyone out there is familiar with any dance tracks that feature solely a woman breathlessly climaxing into the microphone, without any other vocals? I know it's quite random and amusing, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Edit, it appears motorhorst was correct - it sounds like it was a remix of French Kiss by Lil Louis

I'm still confused by this site - where are notifications??? (kbin.social)
 

I would use this site a heck of a lot more if I actually saw when people replied to one of my "article" posts. But right now my notifications sit empty unless I tag a user or they tag me.

That's very frustrating. I find myself using Squabbles more often for chat just because at least their notifications are working correctly.

Has this issue been fixed and it's just a bug on my side, or do I need to enable something?
