I was looking for a manual as well. I kinda like looking through a manual to see if I'm interested before installing.

A lot of things that happen more then once, repeatably and predictably are still news.

according to Webster news is just: 1a: a report of recent events

Yeah I've used reddit daily for over a decade. I just use a mobile browser. I tried a couple apps a few years back, but just when back to mobile browser after a few weeks.

I just hope they don't get rid of old.reddit.com

It doesn't appear to require an account. I just gave it a try, installed the deb, typed that one line command and it just worked. No idea if it would work in those countries though, I only tried it in a US location.

Justified in the sense that we should accept that there is no other purpose to life or existence then to shop?

Ok, thank you. I guess that makes sense.

Pair of buttock? You mean or still pair of buttocks?

TIL? a pair of buttocks is just one butt? So a buttocks is just one cheek? I had no idea.

New comment by radec in "Low nutritional quality in vegetarian meat substitutes"

radec — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 18:31:31 +0000

legumes, grains, potatoes, seeds, nuts (if you can afford them).

plenty of protein in all of those things. I've been vegetarian my whole life and vegan for the past 19years. I've never once had to think about getting enough protein. Having never eaten real meat and I don't much care about the fake processed stuff. I mean I'll eat it, but I don't buy it much. lentils and rice is a lot cheaper and tastes better imho.

I guess if it matters, I would say I'm a fairly active person. I bike for transportation when ever possible, I backpack and hike a lot, and typically work jobs in the trades or farming. So not a pro athlete but just keep active and moving.

10% of 2km? I feel like you had something set up wrong if you were trying to go long range. I did a basic test with a mestastic ttgo T-Beam, with the stock antenna no modifications and was getting 2miles (about 3km) through dense forest. Out in the open it was much longer but I didn't test it fully. Anyway I was super impressed, it might be worth trying again.

New comment by radec in "Why Humans Have Kids"

Not sure I totally follow what you are saying.

But I think I might agree. Certainly agree to just engage with life and to not live based on societal expectations. (If that's what you are saying)

Key to this, for me, is to create community. Community is the only way I see to escape the cycle.

Why do people have to live in misery? (sort of a rhetorical question)

Sometimes it's hard for me to tell what is the bigger problem, having kids or that most people are living in misery, selling their life away for money and consumerism.

I can understand the argument for not having kids because you are bringing kids into this dystopia. But I could also see the argument of stop living and createing the dystopia.

New comment by radec in "How to Not Get Hit by Cars"

radec — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 15:21:17 +0000

Oh ok. I don't have the resources (time/money) to fight things in court or pay fines. I also have been hit enough times and have found things go a lot smoother if the driver is clearly at fault. Even in Portland Oregon (I say even because it is a fairly bike friendly city) cops seem to side with the car because the general mentality is, that is what the road is there for. Anyway that seems like a strange recommendation from my experience dealing with cops while riding a bike. Not to mention the fact that some drivers tend to get aggressive towards bikes if your not following the rules.

>Novice riders are trained to stick to an invisible (or painted) bike lake which ends up with them being far less visible than they need to be.

I don't think it necessarily has to do with being a novice, sometimes it's just the law. I bike mostly in Oregon and as far as I am aware you have stay in the bike lane if there is one, unless you are passing it the lane is blocked. ORS 814.420

Looks like it's less then 5 bucks. I bought everything from injuredgadgets. I'm sure there are other good places as well. Can't really review the battery, it's only been a couple days, but so far it's good.
