    I've seen the show, but not in years. Thank you!

    And now you're gonna think about Pickles whenever you wear those on your puppies.

      Awesome.

      215 horsepower out of a street legal, featherweight 1 liter NA engine is 'normal' now I guess, but it still boggles my mind. And its low inertia! If you sent that thing back in time, engine designers' heads would explode.

      Totally agree. The amount of hp this bike has blows my mind. But the thing like I said is just how smooth it is in the delivery and execution. The shifts are smooth and effortless, and the throttle is just smooth. You can dial in the power you want with different settings, so you can tone it down for things like riding in the rain. It's so much different than my 01, which was just raw power and no electronic goodies other than fuel injection. I love having both, and have a ton of miles on the 01 which I am looking forward to matching with the new bike.

        That's it. I got a 25 model, but it looks basically the same. They tweaked some internals from 24 to 25, but that's the bike. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me, and I jumped on it. Definitely my largest impulse buy ever. I figure my friends all think I am having a mid life crisis, but it's just a dream bike of mine that I never would have fathomed I would have a snowballs chance in hell of owning.

          I had to reconsider. My thumb joint was grouchy after a few months.

          Edit: my clone reminds me he absolutely loves his neu-logitech-trackpad thing he uses. He likes that it's got three buttons instead of two and a dinky little rolly-nub, and he wouldn't part with his without a fight (and he's trained in pistol, c-7 in 'party mode', sword, staff, hands, and impolite words, so he'll have it even after the fall of society)

          Ah yeah, there no real place to rest the thumb, but since I use my keyboard like 80% of the time it does not matter too much.

              Same here, but I must say the platforming is a lot harder than I was expecting. Diagonal pogo is really messing me up. I can’t consistently get past those pogo bouncy fruit ball things and I’m stuck now. Hopefully it clicks soon.

                Onewheel pint off FB marketplace for $300.

                Showed up, turned it on and the light came on without any issues and the tire was deflated (neglected for a few years bc the guy bought a new one. Also the guy was a dad who died, so his son was selling it.) I assumed it worked. Got home, tried to start it, and I bonked the pavement with the front. Apparently the sensor was broken and it costed $150 to replace.

                is it worth it? for 300, yes 100%. for 500.. ehhhhh.

                  In case you're playing with controller, use the d-pad. Just hold left/right and down and you will always perform the pogo bounce instead of hitting air.

                    I've actually already tried Gnome, which definitely works the best with touch. It seems to lack the amount of system settings that the standard cinnamon DE has though.

                    Sure, default GNOME is pretty barebones, most people use GNOME Tweaks as well for additional settings and some amount of extensions depending on your workflow.

                    In principle, i would have prefered that this was all built in, but practically, it works really well, for me at least.

                      I’ve been trying but it keeps breaking my brain for some reason. I’ll keep trying. Maybe I’ll get the hang of it. Thanks.

                        Oblivion Remastered. It turns out I don't really have the patience for inventory/weight management anymore.

                              You can chameleon them out of the tube if you want to be fancy, I'm trying to save us some time, no dishes to wash, no hands to clean, yeah you look like you sucked off an oompaloompa, but I can still bust sick lines on thps 3+4 with a completely Cheeto stain free controller.

                                    How many bags do you have now? I'll confess I'm a serial manybagger. The damned GAS FOMO gets me almost every time.

                                      Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260. Stuck Linux mint on it (because I'm a Linux noob). £170, cheap.

                                      It's pretty great. I just wish I could get a consistent touchscreen experience because I like to fold the keyboard back and use it like a tablet in bed. It works like a charm on Firefox, but outside of that, the touchscreen is hit or miss. I just want it to work like an iPad or Android tablet in terms of navigation (swipes, long presses, etc.)

                                      Overall though I'm pretty happy with it. Excellent for torrenting and file management and mostly lightweight shit.

                                      I know they reworked it completely a couple of years ago, but I'm an insane person who uses XFCE in touch mode so I wouldn't know lol.

                                        A Ninja Luxe Café Pro. I've wanted a machine like this at home since forever! And yes, the purchase was definitely worth it.

                                          I bought an IMAX film cell of Interstellar. It was a little pricey but I love the movie and I also shoot film.
