They ARE the ground.

Mechanical keyboard users are synth lovers that don’t realize it yet. Want to spend a lot of money on a niche interfacing device with tons knobs, buttons and faders that other people will look at, and then say “Oh cool I guess,” but will have you simultaneously praised and ridiculed on the internet for your choice? That’s synths baby!

But… PR is part of the US and is a wonderful place full of kind people. I spent one of the best vacations of my life there going all the way around the island (and Culebra!) and it was nothing but gorgeous views, great food, friendly people (it does help to speak Spanish so you understand how friendly they are) and relaxing days.

And that was when the country was getting rocked by earthquakes and had recently been battered by a few climate-change monster hurricanes. Screw people who hate on PR, that place rocks and is more resilient than your average conservative commentator.

IT professionals are more the folks that install and maintain large scale computer systems and networks, like a company’s IT department or MSP. Programming is closer to engineering. Software engineering.

At least he isn’t making some exaggerated face of extreme surprise. That puts him ahead of most YouTubers.

The title had me like “What did those tiny carnivorous plants do now?” but no that’s Utricularia.

I just want a seat at the table for one of their feasts.

They subscribe to the theory that less forward acceleration is the same thing as slowing down.

Yikes! Did you need any surgery?

Just write a script that runs periodically to check the log’s size and delete when its near the crash threahold.

Because of how much content I see that’s from Portland. And a good chunk of it is from within 3 blocks of where this picture was taken.

I swear, half the people on the internet are in Portland, Oregon.

This is genius but too high effort. You may sit on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of shitost.

It’s a holdover from the at-the-time socially acceptable racist tropes of the 90s.

Describing a soul is task for a philosopher. I merely recognize a familiar spark.

You go, Kim Coco Iwamoto!

The Outer Worlds is like if you stripped half the soul and the content out of New Vegas, slapped a coat of paint on it and threw a brick on the accelerator.

Fat people are pretty common, they’re not a rare body shape or disability that should require a custom bike.

Bikes are, in general, designed to be as light as they can be for their price point. The reason behind this is that a lighter bike is less weight to move, meaning for the same effort one can potentially go farther or faster than they would be able on a heavier bike. So when a company is designing a bike, they think about the person they believe will buy it and design a bike that will support that rider.

Heavier people weigh more, obviously. Larger loads require more structural strength. Making a bike that can carry a 300lb+ person without breaking involves a redesign if you initially designed for lighter loads. Similarly, building it requires change to your manufacturing processes.

People who have health problems due to their weight, in general, do not buy as many bikes as people whose weight does not negatively impact their health. A company isn’t going to go an make a big production run of an expensive product if they don’t think there’s a market for it, which means it becomes a custom job to get one done.

Want cheaper bikes that can handle 300lb+ riders? Do a kickstarter and see how many customers will put down dollars.

How anyone could have seen the first trailer and thought it would have been anything but absolute drek is beyond me.

Borderlands is media that works as a video game because you are a willing participant in the idiocy. Its brand of idiocy is too idiotic be enjoyable if you’re not a part of it.

Red Bilk is the best.
